I’ve moved across the country four times, and this was by far THE BEST experience, thanks to the Mic’s Movers team. Rob D. was amazing. He took my detailed moving video and turned it into an online inventory for me, then stayed in constant communication as the move approached. The pricing was competitive, transparent and all-in, so I never worried about surprise costs later. Then came our fantastic crew for the move from Rosslyn, VA to Kansas City, MO. Jose was our lead, with special thanks to Alfredo, Roberto and Chris. Jose and Alfredo also drove our belongings all the way to Kansas City. They were so kind, even unwrapping and setting up furniture we’d had shipped separately, and they hauled away our boxes along with their own packing materials. The pricing was great, but what truly made the difference was the people. When I move back to DC, I’ll 100% be calling Mic’s again.

Mic's Moving did an outstanding job from start to finish, we used their company to remove and store furniture overnight that we needed removed from our property temporarily; from the initial quote the team was responsive, provided a detailed list of their plan and followed up to confirm all details; day-of the team was on time, professional and very efficient; the return of the furniture was also smooth and accurate in placement. Very happy overall.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review, Bryan! We are very happy to hear that your move went smoothly! We hope that we can help with any future projects as well!

Oscar, Roberto, and Brandon are truly amazing!! The morning of my move was one of the most stressful times I’ve had this past year, and they were the only way that day was successful. They are phenomenal at their jobs, were very careful and considerate with wrapping furniture + packing the truck, and were a pleasure to chat with during the move. Would highly recommend their services!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review, Sarah! We are very happy to hear that the team helped you through a stressful morning, and were careful with your items along the way.

We've used Mic's Moving for our last four moves. Consider us faithful customers! Jose F and Josue were wonderful in our latest move. They were efficient and careful with all our small and large items. We also had a last minute piano that we needed help with. They were flexible with their timing to meet our needs and got the piano into its home safely!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review and repeat business, Tina! We are so grateful for your repeat business and recommendations!

I have used Mics twice now, and they continue to do great work. I will always call on them when needed. I have referred many people to them; they are just that good. They take care of your items while also moving in a timely and efficient manner. Prices are also incredibly reasonable compared to other moving companies. Thank you to José and his team for today! They worked through issues and inconveniences within my new space. I am extremely grateful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 Star Review, Kayla! Thank you for all the references as well we truly appreciate it.

Professional and kind people who made my moving process as smooth as could be, even with a few unexpected hurdles thanks to some outside factors like DC parking and my residential management. I was extremely impressed with how willing to adapt to the team was, and I could not be more grateful for both their efficiency and patience during the entirety of the job. Thank you so much, Jose and Jose!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review, Johanna! We are so happy to hear that the crew was professional and kind during your move.

These guys were pros - communicative and made clear what would be happening with the move and when during the leadup, worked quickly the day of, got everything out and into the new place with no incidents. No complaints - thanks, Oscar, Alex, and Roberto! The cost came out to $790 for a 3-hour move involving a lightly furnished 1-bedroom apartment's worth of furniture and kitchen tools, DC to Silver Spring - we'd originally planned for a 4-hour move to be safe but got done much faster than that. (Note - this was without packing or junk removal, so YMMV.)
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review, Nate! We are very happy to hear the crew completely your move efficiently and were careful with your items!

If you're looking for a mover, congrats you've found the best option in the area (and I've used several). 1. Clear and easy quote and pricing. No gimmicks, no secret extras. Super quick with a quote too. 2. On time professionals with excellent communication start to finish. 3. Jose and his crew were especially wonderful. Broke down furniture and wrapped everything, handle with care, followed instructions, and adapted when our elevator reservation got screwed up. Great group of guys. Seriously, just book with them. You'll be happy you did.

We had to move a five-bedroom, 3,400-square-foot house about two hours away. After speaking with Robert, our account rep, he figured out that we would need two trucks and five movers. They arrived right on time. They were super nice and smiled the whole day, which was an incredibly long 12-hour day. They were able to leave some of our things fully assembled, so we didn't have to worry about them getting broken in transit. We have yet to find anything that was broken or even jostled. They were so incredibly great with all of our stuff and very communicative. They're definitely on the higher end of pricing, but it's for a reason. You pay a little more to get what I would call white-glove service. They kept everything clean. Everything got put in the exact place they pulled it from, so you're not looking for boxes that happen to be in your bedroom when they need to be in the kitchen. I would stop right here on this review and hire them on the spot.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the 5 star review, Channing! We are very happy that you received the white glove service that we pride ourselves on.

We hired Mic’s Moving for a full pack-and-move and they were fantastic. They packed everything carefully, put all our furniture back together at the new place, and went above and beyond to make sure the whole day went smoothly. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend!

HIGHLY recommend this company. From the moment i sent my initial inquiry for an estimate in August, I felt confident in my choice. The team was very responsive- Ezra helped me book my appointment and answered all of my questions. The three guys who helped us move, including Josue, were so incredibly fast (but still careful with our things). They packed up everything and moved it all in 4 hours (same apartment building) which we immensely appreciated with a small baby. Thank you guys!!

The team of three who handled our move was professional, efficient, and careful. The move of a stuffed 2-bedroom apartment, including some bulkier items, took about 5 hours, including an hour for transit. The communication in the leadup to the move was clear and consistent, and the price was very competitive vs. other area movers. I highly recommend Mic's Moving!

Mic’s Moving has been a great experience from beginning to end. The quote process was quick and seamless. I paid for packing and labor and the crew that moved me was thoughtful, kind, hard working and efficient. They were flexible when unforeseen things happened (my service elevator reservation ended) and made sure to check in with me for any questions. They went above and beyond to help me locate a few things I misplaced and tightened my closet shelves. The entire team was communicative and supportive. The total bill felt more than fair. Thank you! I highly recommend

The crew from Mic's Moving was fantastic from beginning to end! I called them a week and a half before my move after another company flaked. Rob, who set everything up, was patient and didn't blink an eye at my barrage of emails and questions and additional items. They were incredibly responsive every time I reached out and I never had to wait long for a response. Jose and his moving crew knocked it out of the park - they moved dozens of boxes out of my old place in less than two hours, securely wrapped all my furniture, and then unloaded and unwrapped everything. I can't recommend them enough and would absolutely use them for another move.

Clark, JC, and Jose worked tirelessly for 8 hours to make our big move work. They took apart everything that had to be for fitting into small elevators, then put it back together. They dealt with a broken elevator also and adapted. We saw how good they were and asked them for additional help. They put together and fixed some additional items and everything now works. They also made space where we did not see it. Without their help, our move would have probably become impossible to bear.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 star review! We are very happy to hear that JC and the team could go above and beyond for your move.

Mic's did an awesome job during my local move in Arlington. I had Alex & his team of two guys - they were fast, took great care in wrapping/handling my furniture, TV and artwork, and were very communicative in making sure all my items wound up in the right place in my new apt. They were also incredibly respectful and kind from start to finish. Can't recommend Mic's enough - especially Alex & his team - this was by far the least stressful move I've ever done. I will 100% be re-using Mic's for any more moves I have!

About Moving in Kensington

Kensington, Maryland sits right in the heart of Montgomery County, tucked between Bethesda, Wheaton, and Rock Creek Park along Connecticut Avenue. It is a small incorporated town with a big personality, known for its walkable Old Town, the Victorian-era homes around Armory Avenue, and the famous Antique Row along Howard Avenue that draws collectors from across the region. The MARC Brunswick Line station puts residents minutes from downtown DC, while the Beltway and Metro Red Line are a short drive away. We have moved families in and out of Old Town Kensington, Rock Creek Hills, Kensington Heights, Kensington View, Parkwood, and the streets surrounding the Washington Temple. We know the narrow side streets, the parking quirks around Howard Avenue, and the kind of care these homes deserve.

The Mic's Moving Difference for Kensington Residents

Kensington is a town where antique furniture is not unusual, it is the norm. Walk down Howard Avenue and you will see why. Many of the homes here are filled with pieces that have been passed down through generations or carefully picked up from one of the shops along Antique Row. Add in the Victorian and Craftsman homes in Old Town, with their narrow doorways, original woodwork, and steep wooden staircases, and you have exactly the kind of move our crews trained for. We come prepared with floor runners, door jamb protectors, custom blankets, and the patience required to lift heavy heirloom pieces up tight staircases without scuffing trim or banging walls. Small enough to care, big enough to handle it, that is the Mic’s Moving promise to every Kensington family we serve.
