Washington DC Movers You Can Trust
What We Do in
Washington, DC.
From rowhouses on Capitol Hill to condos in Dupont Circle and Navy Yard — JP & Son Movers handles every type of DC move with professional care and zero hidden fees.
Local Expertise
We Know Washington DC
Like a Neighbor
Washington, DC was planned by Pierre L'Enfant in 1791 as a grid of numbered and lettered streets overlaid with diagonal state avenues, all divided into four quadrants — NW, NE, SW, and SE — radiating out from the U.S. Capitol.
Because of the Height Act, the city stays low-rise: block after block of Victorian rowhouses, walk-up apartments, and mid-rise condo buildings rather than skyscrapers, from historic Georgetown and Capitol Hill to the newer high-rises of Navy Yard and NoMa.
At JP & Son Movers, we've completed over 1,000 moves across the DMV, including a steady flow into and out of the District. We know how to navigate DC's rowhouse-lined side streets, coordinate elevator and loading dock access for condo buildings, and work within DC's residential parking permit (RPP) rules and DDOT truck-permit requirements.
Whether you're moving into a rowhouse on Capitol Hill, a condo in Dupont Circle, or a high-rise near Navy Yard — our family-owned crew brings the same level of care and precision to every job.

Expert Moving Advice
Moving Tips for
Washington DC Residents
Tip 01 · Residential Parking Permits
Reserve a No-Parking Zone in Advance
DC's Residential Parking Permit (RPP) zones mean street parking near your home can be extremely limited.
DDOT allows residents to request a temporary no-parking zone for moving trucks — apply at least several business days before your move.
Tip 02 · Condo & Apartment Buildings
Reserve Your Elevator Early
Buildings in Dupont Circle, Navy Yard, and other dense DC neighborhoods typically require elevator and loading dock reservations for move-ins.
Book your window before booking your move date, and we'll build our schedule around it.
Tip 03 · Rowhouse Streets
Expect Narrow Access and Tight Turns
Much of DC's residential core — Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Logan Circle — is lined with narrow, one-way rowhouse streets.
Our crew is experienced navigating these blocks and positioning trucks for efficient loading.
Tip 04 · Quadrant Confusion
Double-Check Your Address
The same street number and name can exist in more than one DC quadrant (for example, multiple '500 block' addresses across NW, NE, and SE).
Always confirm the quadrant designation on your move paperwork to avoid routing errors.
Tip 05 · Packing
Label Every Box by Room
Clearly labeling boxes by room makes unloading in your new DC home significantly faster, especially important when elevator time or narrow stairwells limit how many trips we can make.
Tip 06 · Booking
DC's Rental Market Moves Fast
Between the academic-year turnover and DC's competitive rental and condo market, moving slots — especially weekends and month-end dates — book up 2–3 weeks in advance.
Weekday moves have more flexibility. Need a mover today? Call us.

“JP & Sons Movers was a great choice. We moved from an apartment to townhouse, and the movers got it done efficiently in less time than I expected. The price was fair. I would recommend these movers to make your moving process worry free.”
David C.
“Great moving experience with JP & Sons Movers . Didn’t have to lift a finger everything was moved for me professionally and less stress for me when attempting to do alone . Furniture was taken down and put back up at new apartment. They also assisted with removing the Tv from the wall. No complaints on either end. These are hard working people. I would definitely recommend this company and will use them in the future for any other moves”
Alex T.
“This moving company was not only super responsive, super professional, and super fast, they were also super patient and accommodating. My boyfriend and I scheduled our move for 2/4/23. Unfortunately, the property we were moving to scammed us, which resulted in us having to reschedule our move three times. This company was very understanding and patient in our circumstances and when it was finally time for us to move (4/2/23), they accommodated our last minute request and got everything moved very quickly."
