How Washington, DC Movers Get Curb Space

Curb space is the first thing to settle on a District move. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) issues temporary occupancy permits for moving trucks through its online permitting system, TOPS. Once the permit is approved and paid, you can print Emergency No Parking or Reserved Parking signs, but only at a DDOT kiosk or the permit office. DDOT kiosks are located at Metropolitan Police Department sites around the city. Signs must go up 72 hours ahead on residential blocks without meters and at least 24 hours ahead at metered spaces in commercial areas. A Reserved Parking permit holds up to four curbside spaces for up to 16 hours. DDOT no longer posts signs for people moving in from out of town, so someone has to post them in person. Trucks may park only in legal spaces and must also follow posted rush-hour restrictions. If signs are taken down before the notice period ends, repost them right away. When you book, settle who will apply for the permit and who will post the signs. A missed posting window can leave the truck without a legal place to park on move day.

Routes Into and Out of Washington, DC

The District has no counties, so we plan DC moves based on the truck’s origin or destination.

Between DC and Northern Virginia

I-66 enters the District from Arlington on the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, and US 50 shares the crossing. In Arlington, that stretch of I-66 is part of the tolled Inside the Beltway Express Lanes. On the DC side, a spur called the E Street Expressway leads into Foggy Bottom. Our Virginia page lists every county and city we serve on that side of the Potomac, including our home base in Lorton. Arlington coverage includes Fort Myer, just across the river from the District.

Between DC and Montgomery County

Wisconsin Avenue leaves Northwest DC and becomes MD 355, which continues as Rockville Pike through Bethesda toward Rockville. I-270 starts at the Capital Beltway north of Bethesda and runs to Frederick. Both roads connect Northwest DC with the Montgomery County towns on our map, from Chevy Chase and Bethesda to Gaithersburg and Germantown. Takoma Park and Silver Spring also sit just across the line on the Maryland side.

Between DC and Prince George’s County

MD 4 enters the District as Pennsylvania Avenue after it intersects the Capital Beltway. Heading out, the same road leads to Upper Marlboro and on into Calvert County. Prince George’s towns on our map such as Capitol Heights, District Heights, and Mount Rainier sit close to the DC line, so many of these moves are short in miles but still cross into Maryland.

Moves Within the District

Moves inside DC usually come down to the building and the block. Rowhouses can mean narrow stairs and tight turns, and condo and apartment buildings often set their own elevator reservations and loading dock hours. Ask your building manager for those rules in writing and share them with the estimator so the permit window, sign posting, and building reservation line up. If the building only allows moves on certain days or hours, book the parking permit for that same window. Moving out of one building and into another on the same day means two sets of rules, so collect both before you pick a date.

DC Moving Services

We offer the same services in the District as anywhere else on our map. That means commercial office moves, residential moves for houses and apartments, and long-distance moves from DC to any state. We also move pianos and heavy furniture, help with senior moves, and provide packing and climate-controlled storage when your move-out and move-in dates do not match.

For home moves, our movers pad-wrap all furniture inside the home. Upholstered pieces get an extra layer of shrink wrap for moisture protection, which matters when the truck is parked down the block on a wet day.

I used Regal for 2 moves and recently used a different company that was closer to my starting point. I wish I had called Regal for this move, I didn’t realize how good Regal is before having a point of comparison. Professional, focused, and careful. Hoping not to move again anytime soon, but will call Regal if I do.

My packing people were wonderful. We have some heavy furniture, and they wrapped and protected it really well. We also have a lot of fragile items, and they were carefully packed, and the boxes were properly marked. Ten hours of work!

6 guys showed up right on time, got started right away. They paid special attention making sure everything was wrapped and protected. They worked tirelessly getting everything into the next house, working for over 9 hours, always having a positive attitude. They were all wonderful! I would definitely recommend them for a move!

Move was AWESOME! Same crew delivered as did the pickup. Covered all the carpets in the sale house at move out/pick and at the new apartment delivery. My adult daughter was there for the delivery and felt very comfortable with the crew. Everything was well wrapped, reassembled and no damage to anything. Overall a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

After doing my research I found my experience to be professional and extremely accommodating . The white glove treatment begin immediately even though it was a small move in comparison to some of their larger moves . The estimate was very reasonable and the follow-up and execution was second to none . Because of my recent experience with Regal , I have decide to cancel my planned POD move next winter to Florida to work with this team again . They were that impressive !
