This month marks an important milestone for 495 Movers – 15 years of guiding residents and businesses alike on their road to new beginnings.
How we started:
Our story began in 2009 when two lifelong friends took a chance on their shared vision to redefine the moving experience. Having worked in the industry for years, they sought to create a new approach. One that offered personalized care, transparent pricing, and a simple process designed to make the moving experience effortless and stress-free.
We started small, with a team of just 3. Through hard work, dedication, and a passion for helping others, we have since grown into a leading moving expert in the DMV. With over 20 trucks on the road today, we continue to stay true to our original vision guided with a philosophy driven by quality, honesty, and integrity.
Beyond the Move:
To create the best moving experience we had to reach beyond traditional moving services for packing and delivery in order to be able to meet every unique moving need. We now offer everything from junk removal, car transportation, equipment and appliance moving, and even provide free packing supplies.
However, we didn’t stop there. Every move has a timeline of its own and sometimes you’re forced to work with a tight deadline. Maybe you’re moving out of your old home but your new place isn’t quite ready yet. Whatever the circumstance, self storage makes for a convenient and secure option ensuring that your belongings are safe while waiting to be moved into their new home. With 4 self storage units of our own, we now offer this to all of our clients for any short or long term storage needs!
Giving Back:
Beyond striving to be the best, we wouldn’t be here without the support of our clients. Which is why we feel that it’s important to do our part in giving back where we can. We’ve partnered with organizations like United Help Ukraine (donating boxes for first-aid kits), the Children’s Miracle Network (supporting Children’s National Hospital), and provided aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey by transporting supplies for the Embassy of Israel in D.C. We’re also proud to support Camp Fantastic, a haven for cancer patients and survivors.
A Commitment to Excellence:
Hundreds of glowing reviews across platforms like Google, Yelp, So Tell Us, My Moving Reviews, and the BBB speak volumes about our commitment to excellence. We’re incredibly grateful to our hardworking team whose dedication ensures every move receives the care it deserves. Positive reviews are rewarding, but we also see them as valuable tools to continuously improve and raise the bar for an exceptional moving experience.
We’re proud to be recognized by trusted sources like Expertise.com, This Old House, and Consumers’ Checkbook, as one of the best moving companies. That being said, this wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of our team. We believe that to be the best you have to invest in the best. That’s why we have built our team full of seasoned professionals who are certified and equipped at handling any move, big or small.
Over 12,750 Moves and Counting:
Throughout these 15 years, we’ve proudly serviced over 12,750 moves with 2,500+ clients returning clients and continue to meet every move with the same dedication to excellence. Because for us, moving is more than getting boxes from A to B; it’s about creating a smooth, efficient, and stress-free transition allowing our clients to focus on the excitement of their new beginning.
