Testimonials..

"Mark, the movers were GREAT! Thanks for your flexibility."

Theo

"Mark - it's a little late but I wanted to let you know that the movers that came to help us on Feb 25th were great. They worked really hard and quickly, I wish I could remember their names but I didn't keep track.

"Also my wife, Anne Turner coordinate with you to have 2 more guys come out and help us unload the pod a couple of weekends ago. They were also very hard-working and professional (Adam and Bryan). We will definitely recommend your company to others and call you again if we need anything like this done again.

Mike L.

"Hipo and Everett were great--on time and efficient with a positive attitude. They were friendly and helpful and very hardworking. They were true professionals who gave us their business cards at the end of the job. And they managed to fit more than I thought possible into my moving containers. Thanks!"

Alison S.

"Hi, Mark. The move went great last Tuesday. Hippo and Glen were fantastic. They showed up on time and worked hard nonstop. They were careful. I have already recommended Get Up and Go to several people."

Jane

"Hi Mark! Just wanted to say thank you for the help from Glenn and Harold. They did a great job for us. We'll give you a call on our next move! Take care."

Jolene W.

"The guys today were great. Thanks so much!"

Jessica G.

"Get Up and Go Movers are great! They get back to you in a timely manner, show up on time and do the job in a professional manner. To top it all they are extremely affordable. I highly recommend them and plan to use them again."

Mary B.

"A few years ago, a colleague on the Hill recommended Get Up and Go movers — and I have used them for 4 different moves since then. They are professional, punctual, and affordable — I would not use a different service in the DC area. Flexible on scheduling, incredible responsive and have an amazing work ethic, I highly recommend these guys. They have never caused damage to my things, and have never broken anything — which is not a claim the big companies can make.

"With an in town truck rental and these great workers, I was able to move a large 1 bedroom apartment full of antiques and solid oak furniture in less than 4 hours for less than $500. You won’t find a better deal and better quality service in the metro area."

Megan Thorpe

"Mark, just wanted to write and let you know that the movers were fantastic. They were wonderful and they did such an amazing job. I've been meaning to email you for weeks now. The move went really well and I really appreciate everything they did. I expressed this to them and I will continue to spread the word about what a great service you run. Please pass it on to them that I followed up to praise them with you directly.

"Have a great week. Thanks for your help."

Olivia

"Thank you very much. You guys were great in every way. You showed your professionalism in your work. I will definitely use you guys in the future and recommend any body who wants the moving services."

Omar N.

"The ABSOLUTELY best moving experience I have ever had!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you."

Matt

"Everett, Lucas, and Sam were absolutely awesome. I booked this service through a third party website linked to my rental truck website. Although 2 hours were required as a minimum, they finished the job in less than an hour!! These guys definitely deserved that extra hour of pay! Wonderful service, and I am still telling people about my smooth moving experience. Even though there was an arrival time discrepancy, these guys resolved the issue very quickly and professionally! They were punctual and handled everything with care. Will definitely use this service again. Thanks guys for everything!"

Gwen

"Mark and his guys made my entire move much easier – from first contact until the job was completed. Thanks."

Brandon

"Hipo and Lucas were fantastic. They were fast and very accommodating. I've already recommended your services to to my friends. When I move again I’ll be sure to give you all a call."

"Thanks for such great customer service!"

Rachel K.

Daniel and Walter helped us move today, and exceeded all our expectations. They were efficient, on time and helped us figure out the closet place to return our U-Haul. We give them five stars!

Sonya Krishnan

"Great movers. Arrived on time and completed the job ahead of schedule. Highly recommended!"

Akbar

"Excellent move yesterday. Your guys were great!"

Yaniv F.

"Everett and Lucas were wonderful! They were on time, efficient and professional. Everything you could ask for from movers. Thanks so much!"

Alex W.

Get up and Go Movers did an outstanding job with my move in DC. Their movers are quick and hard-working. I would recommend them any day! Thanks for a great service!

Jared E.

The movers (J. and D.) that came to help me on Saturday were fantastic. They arrived at my place ten minutes early and jumped right in. The move took a couple of trips, but that did not deter them at all and we finished right on time. I plan on calling you guys again in August! I am very glad to have found Get Up and Go Movers.

William A.

"Mr. Cole, thank you for the two movers you sent along on Saturday morning to help with our move. They were both very professional and proficient, and helped immensely with our move. We will certainly keep you in mind for our next move."

Stuart B.

"Mark and his crew moved me a couple years back. But they were so amazing and efficient and super friendly! I’ve raved about them to friends and colleagues and everyone has had a fantastic experience with them.

"Their rates are very reasonable and they are very professional about their work! I would no doubt use them again if I were to move."

Xi W.

"Hi Mark, thank you for all of your help with my move. Walter and Brian were absolutely amazing. They managed to get everything up to the new apartment faster than I ever dreamed possible and got furniture exactly where I wanted it (including a very heavy desk I had nightmares about moving). This is the second move I’ve used your company for and I couldn’t be happier. My only concern is that I might one day have to move away from the DC area and not be able to have your help for unloading! Thanks again."

Heather B.

"I highly recommend Get Up and Go Movers. I’ve used them twice now, and both times they were very pleasant, efficient and helpful. I will certainly be using them in future."

Bryan

"Walter and Everett were great! They were on time, quick and very nice. I only had a few items, but none of them were easy to manage. They were just awesome – I have already recommended your service to my friends!"

Shawn B.

"Mark, your guys were very good yesterday, and very professional. I’m impressed with the guys you sent to work. I’ll definitely use you again. Please let them know how happy I am with the quality of their work."

Joe S.

"Dear Mark: Thanks again for the awesome experience on August 23 for the move we had within Arlington (Ballston to Courthouse). Robin Shannon, Brian Greco and Walter Pliszka were FANTASTIC. All three of them were so patient while we ran into a 2-hour delay with obtaining a U-Haul truck first thing that morning. They just got right to work by moving stuff out of our house and on to the curb to prepare for loading. When the truck finally arrived, they were extremely quick and efficient in getting all of our stuff properly loaded on to the truck. I am still amazed that they managed to fit all of our stuff into the 17' truck to require only ONE trip to the new apartment. They even offered to move a few random items in their minivan on the way over, so that we would not have to do it in an extra trip. NOTHING was damaged in our move using this company. I had a lot of breakable items, such as wine glasses, vases, cups, dishes, wine bottles, and a glass tabletop desk. They loaded and unloaded everything perfectly. They were clearly experienced gentlemen. You were also extremely professional, courteous, and accommodating with the few hiccups that occurred in the schedule of our move. You are a great business owner who is clearly concerned about maintaining the great reputation of his company. I will continue to suggest your company to ANYONE for the areas you service, as well as calling you again for any moves in our future. You really made an awful experience (moving is the worst) into less of a nightmare! Take care!"

Hae M.

"Hello Mark, Thank you and your movers for a wonderful move Friday. I appeciate their care, efficiency and attitude. I’m so glad you all did the job. It was seamless!"

Aline M.

"Mark, I just wanted to tell you what an amazing job Sam and Paul did with our move on June 28. They were extremely efficient, very organized, and made our move go smoothly. I can’t say enough great things about them."

Emily H.

"Hi Mark, the move last Thursday went very smoothly, your team was extremely hardworking and conscientious, next time I need help with a move I’ll definitely use your service again. Thanks!"

Michael E.

"Hi Mark- Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help last week. Brian and Everett were absolutely amazing – they were friendly, hard working and a pleasure to be around. they worked so quickly that i actually had to ask them to slow down and take a rest! they unloaded my pod in less than 30 minutes, set up everything perfectly and expertly navigated my 3 flights of stairs. thank you for making an otherwise complicated process a total breeze. i would recommend you guys to all of my friends and family. Thanks again!"

Sally B.

"Just wanted to share our experience with getupandgomovers.com. Here’s what we experienced: They showed up on time, and brought moving dollies. They surveyed the items, formulated a plan, and got to work moving things right away. They made everything fit safely (and efficiently utilized the space in the moving truck- it was clear they knew what they were doing). The work was completed ahead of schedule, and they advised us on the best practices to unload safely. We would not hesitate to recommend these guys (we felt lucky we found them). Thanks for doing what you do – so well."

Todd S.

"Hi Mark- I just wanted to tell you that everything went great yesterday! The guys did an amazing job packing the truck and be extra careful with our stuff. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"

Haley R.

"I wanted to write to thank you for sending Ricky and Joe to help me move yesterday, they were AWESOME! They were hard working, professional and super nice guys. I am new to the DC/Virginia area and selected Get Up and Go Movers based, in large part, on the reviews I read. Ricky and Joe surpassed my expectations. They worked non-stop to unload everything quickly all the while taking great care of my stuff. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a stress-free move. Thanks again!"

Deborah M.

"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job your moving crew did on September 27. Anthony, Bit, and Brian were incredibly hard working and professional. They were all very nice and positive during the whole move. I appreciate your flexibility with scheduling as well, since my original move date changed. I’ll definitely recommend your service to friends who need movers- and if I move again, you’re company is the one I’ll call. Thanks again!"

Kathryn K.

"Get Up and Go Movers is a very reliable company. The two movers ware prompt, courteous and, very careful with my things, some of which were quite fragile. Most of all, the company’s prices are fair. You’ll want to tip them for their job well done!"

Ginny T.

"Once again, thanks for a successful move. This was my second opportunity to use Get Up and Go and this was my second positive experience. Anthony and Travis did a great job. Could not have asked for more."

Edward S.

"Dear Mark, just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our move on June 30. Your workers are a pleasure. Nothing is a problem, they work quickly, and have a great attitude. This is our second move with you and only regret not being in the DC area now so that we could continue to do so. Thank the guys from us for making everything go so smoothly."

Rona C.

"Thank you for everything. The guys were great. I’ll definitely recommend you to my friends."

Elisa L.

"I just wanted to let you know that the movers I had on yesterday afternoon were the nicest, most careful professional movers I’ve ever dealt with. They came recommended, and I will definitely continue to recommend them. Thank you so much!"

Jody G.

"We scheduled our move for June 15th (Father’s day). The team showed up on time. We showed them what had to be moved and I would say within five minutes of their arrival they were carting boxes to the truck. Benjamin, Josh and Chris worked non-stop until the truck was loaded. They worked as a good team even though it was a hot day and there were steps involved. While waiting for them to arrive I wondered if the testimonials I read on the site were on the mark. I can say for myself now they were. The team loaded and unloaded the truck (including the drive to the new location) within the two hours we had reserved. This was an apartment move and it was a great relief to get my daughter moved without the hassle of asking friends to help. Nothing was broken. This left plenty of time for us to unpack boxes and get things situated the remainder of the day. I would highly recommend Get Up and Go Movers and make use of your services again."

Sherrenise P.

"On June 12th, we were met by Brian and Richie in Herndon, VA, to help us unload our moving truck. We were so well pleased with their hard and efficient work, that I wanted to write and let you know. If I would have had $100 extra dollars, I would have given them an additional $50 each. This was not an easy move, as there is only one elevator in the building, and it was at the end of a very long hall, and it was extremely hot out. We offered them water, but they declined until after they were done with the move. They worked for 2 hours straight without a break. Also, we have some fragile glass things that we were concerned about and everything got in its place safely! They are great workers. Thanks for sending us two men who are so reliable and easy to work with. They certainly made everything easier for us."

Elaine P.

"I just wanted to write in and let you know how great the guys were on Wednesday. I didn’t catch their names, but they were on-time, efficient, and worked well in both the heat and the rain. We’ll recommend Get Up and Go Movers."

Brian S.

"I just wanted to let you know that Anthony and Travis were both terrific. I could not have asked for a better move, and would definitely recommend Get and Up Go Movers to anyone. Thank you so much."

Lindsay M.

"Dear Mark, first off, thank you to you and your movers for such an amazing job last Wednesday. The crew was on-time motivated and very fast in getting everything loaded into our truck. We were very appreciative to see such hard work. Again, thank you for such great work, and I will recommend you to any friends in DC when they need to move."

Patrick S.

"Just wanted to write and say how great Jon and Wes were for my move. The rest of the day was one problem after another, from a moving truck with a dead battery to bad weather to traffic delays to a faulty service elevator… Despite the fact that the guys were also affected and inconvenienced by these things, they were patient, helpful, and super hard-working. Working with them was the one part of the day that was smooth. I’ve already recommended you to a friend who is moving soon."

Amanda R.

"Thank you so much for all your hard work! I was a bit nervous because I should have gotten a larger truck for all my things but the two movers that I was blessed with were able to strategically load my truck with no damage to any of my belongings. Even after a 17 hour drive all my things were in one piece and not damaged. They were on time and completed the job in 2 hours. Thank you so much for everything!"

Elaina L.

"Thanks guys for an amazingly fast, efficient and seamless move. You were great to work with, on time (early even, which was perfect), and I look forward to having you move all the rest of my things once my home has sold."

Deborah K.

"After years of moving my own stuff, I decided to hire movers to help me load my truck on my most recent move. I didn’t know quite what to expect, but everyone who showed up was very professional, kind and willing to address all of my questions and concerns up front. Despite a lack of organization on my part and having a truck far too big for my needs, the guys from Get Up and Go Movers didn’t miss a beat and were able to pack up my stuff carefully, thoughtfully and in record time. I highly recommend them! Their efficiency and professionalism aside – they really do strive to make moving that much easier on their customers, which is exactly what I needed!"

Sarah W.

"I just wanted to let you know that our service was excellent today! The movers were so professional and were such gentlemen. We will definitely use your service again if ever the need arises."

Chinue R.

"I just wanted to let you know that Benjamin and Joey just left our apartment after helping us move and they were amazing! On time, efficient, careful and fast. Really, the best moving experience I’ve ever had. Thanks."

Kate A.

"Your guys worked really hard and I am pleased that they were able to help past the estimated time. Thanks again and please extend my thanks to your men."

William E.

"Thanks for a great move. The three men were excellent. I just had new hardwood floors installed and rather than wheeling in the hand trucks, they carried each box and piece of furniture in separately!! I have already recommended your services to my friends. Thanks!"

Jaime C.

"Thanks for your team’s help in completing my move. The guys you sent to help were great, on time, efficient, and easy to work with. Again, I really appreciate your help, thanks."

Kevin E.

"I wanted to send a note of thanks for your patience on Saturday. The two young men who waited for us to arrive were super professional and speedy. I was amazed that all of my stuff was in the condo in under an hour! I would gladly and highly recommend your services to anyone. Thank you again."

Emily Y.

"I wanted to let you know what an excellent job Bit and Ben did in moving our furniture into our new home in Alexandria, VA this past Sunday. They were very careful with our furniture which was very much appreciated. They also worked extremely hard to move us in quickly. They were wonderful! I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the excellent service they provided to us. Please pass this message on to them and also thanks to you for having these to men move our things!"

Teresa S.

"I wanted to let you know that your movers were great! They were quick and efficient and really nice. U-Haul didn’t have the 14-foot truck I reserved so I was forced to take a 10-foot truck instead. That would have meant two trips, but your movers were able to do it in one trip by taking my sofa in their pick-up truck. I’ve had some bad experiences with movers in the past, but I plan to use your company from now on. Thank you!"

Serena L.

"Just a quick note to say thanks to Christopher, Nathan, and David for their help with our move. They were here on time, started on time, were efficient with their use of time, and finished in a timely matter. They were polite, professional, and very helpful. No damage to any of our property and no “move-in” damage to the apartment. I’m not sure when I will need moving services again but you guys will be my first call. Futhermore, I would not hestitate to recommend you and your team to others. Thanks for a job well done."

Edward S.

"Hello, I appreciate their patience and efficient work! They were great, especially in the bad weather! Thanks."

Kelley C.

"The two young men who moved my things were fantastic! — Super efficient!"

Laura O.

"Thank you for a job well done on the move today. Your work was professional and expedient. I appreciate how my furniture was handled with care. I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who is moving."

Susan S.

"Thank you so very much for the wonderful moving help that you provided. You and your team did a fantastic job and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your hard work. You guys were so fast and so careful… I will definitely use you again in the future and I will recommend you to my friends! Thanks again for the outstanding job. Take care!"

Sara M.

"Get Up and Go provided the best moving experience I have ever had. You guys were absolutely fantastic to work with. You accommodated my last minute request for additional movers immediately and also stayed later than planned, showing much appreciated flexibility and commitment to getting the job done. The movers arrived on time, followed directions faithfully, and cleared out rooms of heavy boxes and furniture faster than I’d ever seen anyone do it. They treated our belongings as if they were their own, taking care not to dent walls or furniture. In addition, they packed the truck incredibily professional and efficiently, and moved way more stuff way longer than expected with good cheer and postitive attitudes. I have already recommended Get Up and Go to two friends, and will gladly recommend you to others. Thank you so much for making a stressful day go so smoothly!"

Rhonda S.

"I would just like to say thank you for the awesome service on 10/27. Your movers did a great job. They were GREAT. I can’t express it enough. Moving for my grandmother was so difficult and you guys made it soooooooo much easier. I will definitely refer you guys to everyone I know."

Jennifer B.

"I just wanted to say “thank you” for the wonderful work the two workers did in helping us move. They were professional, quick and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to refer them to anyone looking for movers."

Craig S.

"The team sent to load my rental truck did a great job. I have already began to recommend your services to my friends."

Alfred J.

"I just wanted to send a letter of praise. You sent me two movers yesterday who were awesome. They arrived right on time and worked really hard. They were fast and they were careful (absolutely no scratches, dents, etc.). I was really impressed with them and their work. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know who needs help."

Sondra A.

"Thank you very much! Benjamin and Bit were outstanding in every way. I will certainly recommend your service, and these two terrific people in particular, to anyone who is planning a move."

Jeff H.

"Brandon and Chris were on time, very professional, very helpful. I will definitely use this service again."

Peter K.

"Super fast! The movers were strong and easy to work with."

Moving Tips

Truck Rental: We recommend you rent a slightly bigger truck than you think you need.

Furniture Pads: We strongly encourage renting furniture pads. For larger wooden items, ex. china cabinets, you will need two furniture pads. Count what you need padded and add a few more in case.

Rope: Please have some rope on hand. They’re good for tying your belongings securely in the truck.

Tools: Keep your tools handy for any disassembling/assembling items. (Free of charge)

Boxes: Make sure you label your boxes, including both contents and where the box should be placed in your new home.

Beds: Tie bed frames together with tape or rope.

Tables: Remove legs (if possible), pad and tie together. Put nuts and bolts in a small bag and tape under table top.

Big Appliances: Empty, defrost and drain the fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Clean the interiors and put accessories in a bag.

Small Appliances: Put your microwave, VCR, etc. in boxes and cushion with wadded paper.

Computers, TV, and Electronics: Use original packaging or buy electronic – specific boxes and pad with wadded papers to take up the extra space in the box. The less room inside the box for the objects to move, the better.

Books: Pack flat in small cartons, alternating bindings. Try to keep each box under 30 lbs.

Clothing: Pack hanging items, including drapes, in wardrobe boxes.

Kitchenware: Stack pots and pans, and cushion with paper.

Dishes: Never stack them flat. Wrap each piece in bubble wrap. Pack plates and saucers on edge, with cups and bowls placed around them.

Bicycles: Cover chains and pedals to keep grease off other items.

Mirrors, Artwork and Frames: Wrap small pieces in newsprint and pack in mirror boxes. Cover larger pieces with cardboard and tape securely.

Lawn Furniture: if heavy or bulky, disassemble. Put nuts and bolts in a bag and tie together.

Rugs: Roll up and secure with rope or tape.

Lawn Mowers/Yard Edgers: Empty gasoline from all tanks and check for oil leaks.
