KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Moving to D.C.: Things You Should Know

D.C. has some of the highest housing costs and strictest building access requirements of any metro in the country. Here’s what affects an interstate move in or out.

TAX & COST

● D.C. income tax ranges from 4% to 10.75% — higher than most states
● Median home price in D.C. exceeds $650K; rent among the highest nationally
● Most outbound moves head to Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida

ACCESS & LOGISTICS

● Most buildings require certificates of insurance, elevator reservations, and loading dock scheduling
● Row houses often have street-only access with no dedicated loading zone — parking permits required
● Temporary no-parking signs through DDOT are standard for residential street pickups

CLIMATE & TIMING

● Federal hiring cycles and Congressional recesses create unique seasonal demand spikes
● Summer is peak — government transfers, intern rotations, and lease turnover compress availability

How do I get an estimate?

✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
