Services we offer
Residential & commercial local & long distance moving & relocation. Packing & unpacking. Crating. Short & long term storage. Piano moving.
We had a great experience with Metropolitan. The team leader was responsive and obviously cared about the quality of their work. The team as a whole had a great camaraderie and worked very well together. Despite the stress of the move, it was pleasant having them around for two days. There was no breakage, damage or missing items. Their knowledge of how to move cumbersome items into unforgiving stairwells and doorways was nothing short of amazing. We were impressed and grateful for the care they took and the degree that they went out of their way to assist us. We also felt their pricing compared favorably to other quotes we received. I recommend them highly.

Metropolitan is great! I had such a great experience in 2010 that I made sure I used the same company in 2017. Metropolitan came, gave me an estimate, told me what to expect on the day of the move. Day of the move, everything went exactly as planned, the guys were great, took great care of me and my belongings, and even came in slightly under estimate. HIGHLY recommend.
Description of Work: I have used Metropolitan Moving twice for complete residential moves within the District of Columbia, once in 2010 and again in 2017. Both times they helped with packing some of my stuff (mainly kitchen stuff) and I unpacked my own stuff at the new place.

Great! Would absolutely use again and highly recommend this company. We only moved 3 miles down the road, but everything was packed as if we were moving to another state so nothing broke. The 4 men were very professional. The company sent a rep to give us a quote and he was also professional and very helpful. The quote was fairly accurate and included supplies and the time of 4 men. We had them pack quite a bit, so they were with us from about 9:30 until just before 5pm (minus some time for lunch). They helpfully set up the rooms as we indicated, including putting furniture such as beds/crib back together. We had to call to confirm the day before because we did not hear from the company after we booked the move and they arrived about 30 minutes later than we expected, but otherwise it went off perfectly (and those are very minor issues).

The moving company sent out a professional to give us a free estimate. Not only did he estimate the dollar amount but the time as well. They sent us 6 men and 2 trucks to move from a townhouse. The team showed up promptly at the promised time and were super professional. They were fast and efficient and protected all our possessions with excellent care. They were out of the house within a few hours and again were prompt at the new home. They protected the carpet and took care of the walls by measuring before moving some bulky items. They re-assembled furniture and left it better than they found it. The finished 30 minutes prior to the estimated time. Just amazing. I have had many moves in my life (and thus hate moving) but this one was the absolute best!

Was very impressed by the professionalism of this company. They visited my apartment prior to scheduling the move to provide a free estimate of what the cost would be, and staff were very thorough in scheduling the move. The movers worked quickly, re-assembled furniture correctly, and didnt waste time, resulting in a resasonable price overall. Just one wrinkle -- the movers arrived almost an hour late, which was surprising, given how efficient things were up to that point. However, once they arrived, they performed the task quickly and competently, so everything worked out fine and we were quite pleased with the service overall.

Wow! Metropolitan sent us a great team. A very long day for them with rain toward the end but they were competent, fast and unfailingly accommodating, polite and cheerful. We are most grateful. There are so many ways things could have gone wrong, combining 2 households and moving them to a third location on one day with one truck. The greatest feat was moving (in the rain) a heavy 8-foot-long antique bookcase through some narrow passages without a scratch.

The movers showed up early, were very professional and efficient. No damage occurred during move. They finished before estimated time and final price was below original estimate. They offered to rearrange furniture until we were pleased with the layout. Everyone was so nice and easy to work with. Made what is normally a stressful moving day, practically stress free. Would highly recommend if moving in the Baltimore/DC area and will be using again if needed.

On both move out day, and move in day, the temperature was near 100. All four members of the crew worked non-stop despite the heat. They protected all of our furniture, which includes many antiques, perfectly and everything was delivered in perfect condition. Final cost for the move was lower then the estimate by several humdred dollars.

Both moves were flawless. The crew was excellent-- professional, friendly, flexible, helpful, a pleasure to work with in every way. They worked hard, were fast, and everything was done just right. Metropolitan may be more expensive than other movers, but they are worth it! Besides, both moves were completed for less than the estimated cost.

Metropolitan Moving and Storage did a terrific job for us in all aspects of the move. They were the least expensive of the Top-Rated Angie's List Movers that we received estimates from. The entire Metropolitan Team was very customer service oriented and accommodated our schedule. All members of the team were very professional, friendly and arrived early both days for packing an moving. They took great care with our belongings, adeptly handled bulky/heavy furniture, appliances and equipment despite limited clearance on stairs and door openings. They were particularly sensitive to the fact we were moving into a new home and went the extra mile to assure they did not ding doors, walls or track dirt/mud into the house. We did not have any damages. I would definitely recommend Metropolitan Moving & Storage.

I provide the highest level of praise for the job that Metropolitan (namely Leo and his team) did in our move on July 8. The team -- both in the office and on the day of the move -- were unfailingly professional, friendly, efficient, and helpful. As far as we can tell, nothing got a scratch. We were delighted with this experience and will recommend Metropolitan highly to anyone else we learn of who is moving.
