Use this ranking to choose a shortlist, then compare written estimates for your date, inventory, access, and service needs.

Give every company the same addresses, inventory, stairs, elevator, parking, and date. Virginia in-state household-goods work (~31+ road-miles) needs a Virginia DMV Certificate of Fitness (Household Goods Carrier) — ask to see the certificate number on the DMV Authorized Motor Carriers roster and match it to the legal name on SAFER. A short-haul Permit covers deliveries under 31 road-miles; that is not the Certificate of Fitness. USDOT alone is not the VA certificate.

The award follows the Alexandria VA ranking. Gate = Virginia DMV Certificate of Fitness on the same legal name plus SAFER ACTIVE HHG (when interstate is claimed, require AUTHORIZED FOR Motor Carrier of Household Goods).

Best Movers in Alexandria, VA FAQs

Who is the best mover in Alexandria, VA?
Coleman American (COLEMAN AMERICAN MOVING SERVICES INC) is our pick: 4.7 from 877 Google reviews at 15381 Farm Creek Dr, Woodbridge (Farm Creek pin disclosed; the Google Maps listing is in the city), overall 10.0/10, USDOT 148986, VA Certificate of Fitness 435. Compare a written estimate with Two Men and a Truck Springfield (10.0 from 663 at Farrington Ave Alexandria), Let's Move Alexandria (10.0 from 14 — thin sample), Mighty Men Moving (9.8 from 33 — thinner sample), Express Moving And Storage (9.7 from 250 at S Pickett St), and Quality Services Moving (9.5 from 1,328 at Lorton).
How does Moving Company HQ rank Alexandria VA movers?
Virginia DMV Certificate of Fitness on the same legal name plus SAFER ACTIVE Household Goods is a gate; the Maps pin must match that entity (the Google Maps listing is in the city). Coleman American is our pick with overall 10.0 on care, on-time, quote-matched, friendly, and easy-to-reach. Ranks 2–6 follow overall score from five Google Maps bars: care, on-time, quote-matched, friendly, easy-to-reach; ties break to higher review count. Thin N disclosed on Let's Move Alexandria (n=14) and Mighty Men (n=33). MyProMovers Glebe (the Maps pin is outside the city) and Red Carpet (the Maps pin is outside the city) are also-compared, not ranked. The 1–5 cards are not the rank. Companies cannot buy a rank.
Do I need a Virginia Certificate of Fitness to hire a local mover?
The mover does for in-state Virginia household-goods work of about 31+ road-miles. Virginia DMV issues a Certificate of Fitness for Household Goods Carriers; a short-haul Permit covers under-31-mile deliveries and is not the same document. Ask to see the certificate and match the legal name on the DMV Authorized Motor Carriers roster and on SAFER. USDOT alone is not the VA certificate. For interstate jobs, also require FMCSA SAFER ACTIVE with Motor Carrier of Household Goods authority. Complaints: AG (804) 786-2042 / (800) 552-9963; DMV (804) 249-5146.
Why is MyProMovers Arlington Glebe not ranked here?
MyProMovers Arlington at 1100 N Glebe Rd #1010 scored an overall score of 9.7 (Maps 5.0 from 223) but pin match is false for Alexandria — Glebe is an Arlington sister pin, not an Alexandria pin. Other listings at Fairfax Main St, McLean Greensboro, Chantilly Skyhawk, or Woodbridge Daisy Reid are not Alexandria pins.
