Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
Pricing depends on timing and service level. You'll land on the higher end of the range if your move falls during peak periods: summer months, end-of-month dates (the 24th through the 3rd), Fridays or Saturdays, or if you need premium services like full packing. Outside of those windows, expect the lower end.
Typical price ranges:
- Small moves (less than a full apartment, single room, etc.): $500 to $800
- One-bedroom apartments: $800 to $1,300
- Two-bedroom homes: $1,300 to $2,500
- Three-bedroom homes and larger: $2,500 to $5,000
It depends on when you're moving:
- Standard weekday, off-season: 7 days' notice is usually fine
- Friday or Saturday (off-season): book at least 20 days ahead
- Summer weekday: book at least 30 days ahead
- Summer Friday or Saturday: book 45 days in advance
Yes. We have an extensive network of partner five-star movers, which gives you flexibility and savings. If you want to share truck space with another customer's shipment, we almost always have a partial-load opportunity available. It's a great way to cut costs. Our pricing stays competitive because we rarely come back empty; other moving companies like working with us, so we usually line up return loads too.
If you'd rather not share, we also offer exclusive, dedicated-truck service. That means only your belongings are on the truck, even if there's extra space.
Our standard service covers pretty much everything discussed during your estimate, and then some. That includes packing as described, moving blankets, furniture assembly and disassembly, power tools, dollies, the truck, the crew, and straps.
What isn't included are surprises. If you tell us the kitchen will be packed and we arrive to find it isn't, that'll be an additional charge. We believe it's our job to ask the right questions upfront rather than assume anything, so just be realistic with us about what's packed and what isn't. That way your quote stays accurate.
Weekends are our busiest time, and yes, we move any day of the week, including Sundays and holidays. Just keep in mind that holidays are our most expensive days.
For evenings, small moves can start as late as 6 PM, and we'll stay until 9 PM if needed. Our dispatch builds in buffer time, so most of our moves wrap up by 7 PM. This applies to both local and out of the state moves.

What our customers say
Real words from customers across the DMV. Unpaid, unprompted, and from people we actually moved.
“I had an excellent experience with Blue Crab Moving. The team was punctual very professional, and handled all of my belongings with great care. They worked efficiently, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made my move stress-free. The pricing was fair with no surprises, and everything arrived safely and in perfect condition. I highly recommend Blue Crab Moving to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy movers.”
“Great company , highly professional , helpful and friendly . I definitely recommend them and I would use them again.”
“I cannot recommend the Blue Crab team more highly. They are meticulous, creative and very focused on customer service. I had a partial-house, 3,000 pound move that included unloading half of the furniture to a condominium and half to storage unit, boht of which were 800 miles from pick-up. The Blue Crab team worked with me on the delivery date, and listened to and addressed my worries about certain fragile pieces of furniture. They also had continuity of the three-person team, making sure one person was at both ends of the move. Furniture was well labeled and wrapped, and the team was skilled at dis- and re-assembly. It was such a pleasant experience that I almost forgot I was in the middle of move! I cannot recommend them more highly (I have moved cross country 2x with national moving companies and had countless other smaller moves over 40 years and Blue Crab is the best team I have ever had).”
