Handy Movin & Haulin

I recently moved from Chevy Chase to Arlington with tons of stuff (way too much for one person) and these guys were awesome. They were on time, fast, took great care of my stuff, and gave me a great price. They moved several couches through small doorways and up and down stairs without knocking walls or messing up the couch fabric. When my bed frame wouldn’t fully come apart they got inventive and somehow made it work. They even helped me arrange the furniture in my room just they way I wanted. All this and not one single complaint or extra charge! These guys are honest, reliable, fast and affordable. I highly recommend them!

These guys are great and make the whole process easy. I’ve used them on 3 occasions now, and each time they’re professional and fast. There’s no doubt that next time I move, I’ll use them again.

Nate and his coworker were great! They moved my things (studio) in about two hours. They were friendly and really careful with everything. When my box spring wouldn’t fit through my front door they jumped over my back fence with it to bring it through the back door (I didn’t have the key to my gate yet). Very happy with their services and would definitely use them again!

I moved about four miles, from Arlington into DC, last week. I was really nervous about hiring movers for the first time — I’ve always been fine with my parents and a couple of guy friends in the past. But I bit the bullet and picked Handy Movin & Haulin based on the great Unilocal reviews as well as their reasonable (and easy to understand) quote.
They were very communicative throughout the process, and emailed a couple of days before to confirm. The truck showed up promptly and the movers were friendly and professional.
It took a bit longer than I thought it would, but part of that was likely my own fault for having way more stuff than I told them I would, as well as still having some random stuff laying around. The price was still reasonable after all was said and done.
I would definitely recommend this company to a friend, or use them again for a future move!

These guys were great. They showed up precisely when they said they would, handled all of my belongings with care and triumphed over every obstacle that my move presented including hail and snow, a slushy and slippery staircase, and two classic oil/​water-​type pairings: big couch/​tight entry passage and king size bed/​spiral staircase. They were cool guys, too! I would recommend them to others or use them again myself without any reservations.

These guys were awesome! I had a few large pieces to move out of my childhood home in Hyattsville to Columbia Heights. They were very responsive from the beginning, flexible with schedules and were great about confirming the day of. They were prompt and professional and got the job done quickly. Their prices were great too. I will definitely use them again when the time comes. I can not say enough good things about them.

I somehow forgot to hire a mover when I was getting ready to leave my old apartment at the end of the month, and these guys were the only ones I could find on such short notice (I started looking 3 days before my lease ended in April 2011). I was a nervous about using them because I couldn’t find many reviews, but they were absolutely fantastic!
The move took only 2 hours instead of the 3 they anticipated, but they only charged me for the 2 hours. And they’re clearly experts when it comes to reassembling futons and Ikea furniture. They were very professional, were careful with the fragile things, and did a great job with a tricky set of stairs/​doorways. I now recommend HMH to all of my friends and co-​workers, and I recommend them to you too.

Moving nearly ruined my relationship with my father and boyfriend when I moved into my DC basement apartment two years ago. Although grateful for the free help, it was not worth the stress of watching them almost demolish antique furniture that had been passed down in my family. With my father’s recent heart condition and the boyfriend no longer in the picture, I knew I needed to hire a company to help move me down to NC. I don’t know what I would have done without these guys, they made the process so unbelievably easy for me. Moving is stressful and this crew arrived early, with good attitudes and moved my precious furniture without a ding or a scratch. They’re seriously the best kept secret in DC. If you need help with a move, no matter the size or distance, give them a call. You’ll be glad you did!

I was incredibly skeptical of having movers help me with a move from Arlington to the U Street corridor, but I gave in and found these fellows online.
It was the best moving experience I’ve ever had — I might even go so far as to say it was enjoyable (well, for me at least).
The guys showed up at my place early, got to work real quick, and most of my stuff was in the truck within 20 minutes. They did a flawless job taking apart (and then reassembling) my IKEA bed, and getting the stuff into my new place was easy peasey for ‘em despite the lack of a large elevator.
I cannot more highly recommend them!

Follow up to my previous review.
Tommy came out to move us a second time and we were not disappointed. Even though he wasn’t able to make it at the arranged time he and his crew certainly made up for it with how quickly and professionally they moved us. Can’t speak highly enough of these guys. Thanks again Tommy for helping us at the last minute, if we move again (which we are most certainly not) you’ll be the first on my list.

Tommy and Nate showed up 20 minutes early, and were professional, fast, courteous, and very helpful. Highly recommended — made my move pleasant!

These guys were great! I did a huge move the other day and needed a dresser moved from my parents house and they where able to come fairly last minute and late enough in the day so that our big was over. I think they spent all of ten minutes unloading and setting up the dresser and it was such an easy stress free experience. I would 100% use these guys again if I ever need a smaller move done!

These guys were awesome! Super professional and honest. Was moving stuff out of storage in hoodbridge va to dc on memorial day weekend. Total lifesavers. Super quick and efficient, they take cash, cc’s and checks. Moving sucks and owning a small business is rad, support these kids!

So despite some setbacks — mostly involving an evil spiral staircase and the fact that I’m an undercover hoarder — Tommy and Nate managed to get my mounds of trash and treasure into my new place. On time, efficient and despite having to move a lot more stuff than they anticipated — totally pleasant and good natured. This was my first time being a «grown up» and using movers for a move — and despite the horror stories out there (a friend had her mover get arrested on the way) these guys were fantastic. I’ll definitely recommend them to others — and did I mention that they’re incredibly affordable?

They were on-​time, quick and super helpful. I’m really into these small moving companies that have popped up, and you should all be supporting them!

Handy Movin & Haulin was terrific! They were very responsive and accommodating with the date and time I requested.
They faced a number of obstacles that were out of their control and they handled it perfectly. I highly recommend this company for any big and small move.
