I am moving from Silver Spring MD to Charlottesville VA this summer.

QUESTION:

I am looking for any advice you might have about moving companies. I am moving from Silver Spring MD to Charlottesville VA this summer. Last year when I moved up from VA I used "All My Sons" (out of DC) and they were every moving company horror story rolled into one. Moving is one of the worst experiences on the planet and I really think the movers can make or break it for you. (no pun intended!) :) Can anyone out there share their experiences? In addition to your recommendations, I would also like to know who to stay away from.

ANSWER:

-Try Security Storage company. They moved me from DC to London to New Jersey and back. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. These guys are a class act, no wonder they're been around for over a century.
-Also excellent is Von Paris and Sons in Gaithersburg. I move about 400 employees a year so I know about moving people and they've been great to all of the people we need to move around the country. I don't know about price as I get a volume discount. Oftentimes having a smooth move is pure common sense, like asking a lot of questions to whomever you chose to move your stuff and overseeing the packing and loading of your goods onto the truck.
