Residential Moves
Your Stress-Free, Local Relocation Partner
Making a residential move, whether across town or just a few blocks away, can be one of life's most stressful events. The sheer volume of planning, packing, and heavy lifting can be overwhelming. At Two Men and a Van, our mission is to transform that experience into a simple, affordable, and stress-free one. As your trusted local team for residential moves in the Washington DC metro area, as well as parts of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, we handle every detail with a blend of professionalism, care, and efficiency.

And while we excel at these smaller jobs, we are also experienced and ready to accommodate larger home moves upon request. Our goal is to provide a personal touch and a customized plan that fits your unique needs and budget, giving you peace of mind from start to finish.

What We Move
A Service Tailored to Your Home
Our residential moving services are designed to be flexible, accommodating a diverse range of homes and living situations. We provide a specialized touch for each type of move, ensuring your belongings are handled appropriately, no matter the size or complexity of the job.
- Small Homes: We specialize in moving single-family houses, townhomes, duplexes, and other compact residences. Our team is skilled at navigating the unique challenges of these moves, from coordinating with homeowners’ associations to ensuring safe passage through narrow neighborhood streets. We handle everything, from kitchen essentials to garage items, with meticulous care.
- Apartments & Condos: Our crew is experienced in navigating high-rises, walk-ups, or elevator-equipped buildings. We are well-versed in working with building management and following specific move-in/move-out policies. We use special equipment to transport furniture and boxes efficiently, saving you time and protecting both your belongings and the building's common areas.
- Studios & Small Spaces: We are the perfect solution for fast and efficient small-space moves with minimal disruption. Whether you’re a student moving into a studio apartment or a professional relocating to a new condo, our right-sized team and vans can get the job done quickly and affordably.

Our team is trained to handle these sensitive moves with patience, respect, and a gentle approach, ensuring the process is as comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
- Partial Moves & Rearrangements: Sometimes, you just need a few key items moved. We handle furniture-only moves, heavy-item relocations, or internal rearrangements with the same care as a full-scale move. This service is perfect for home renovations, staging a property for sale, or simply rearranging a room.
- Specialty Items: Our expertise goes beyond general household items. We are fully equipped to handle mattress moves, appliance transport, delicate electronics, and more. We use the right tools and padding to ensure these specific items are transported securely and without damage.
Our 5-Step Moving Process
Simple, Transparent, and Stress-Free
We have refined our moving process over the past 18 years to be as simple and transparent as possible. Our goal is to eliminate surprises and keep you informed at every step.
- Step 1: Initial Assessment: Our process begins with a detailed evaluation of your home’s layout, the volume of your items, access points, and your preferred timeline. This allows us to create a tailored moving plan that is specific to your needs. This assessment is the foundation of an efficient move and ensures we arrive prepared with the right team and equipment for the job.
- Step 2: Packing (Optional): We understand that packing is often the most time-consuming part of a move. That’s why we offer expert packing services using high-quality materials for fragile, valuable, or bulky items. We can handle everything from a single box of breakables to a full-home pack, ensuring everything is securely wrapped, boxed, and labeled for a smooth journey.
- Step 3: Loading & Transport: On moving day, our professional team will carefully load your belongings and transport them securely using our fleet of clean, well-maintained vans. Every item is padded and secured to prevent any shifting or damage. Our drivers are local experts, ensuring an efficient and timely delivery to your new home.
- Step 4: Unloading & Setup: Once at your new residence, we unload and arrange your furniture or boxes exactly where you want them. Our team will follow your directions to place each item in its designated room, so you can start settling in right away without any lifting required.
- Step 5:
Post-Move Support: Our service doesn’t end when the last box is unloaded. We offer optional services like post-move organizing, room setup, and space optimization to help you settle into your new home. We’re here to provide that extra support so you can feel comfortable and organized as soon as possible.
