what our customers say about us

One of the best moving experiences we’ve ever had. From the reservation to the move itself they were professional, hard working, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. The team that handled our move (Anthony, Jacob, & Sylvia) arrived on time, treated our possessions w great care, and worked hard to make sure that a challenging (logistical) move went off without a hitch. I would recommend them for any of your personal or professional moving needs.

Starting from the owner Rimsey and the sales manager Kevin, down to the moving crew, John and Jakob, Top Notch really did provide a top notch service. My case was also a bit complex and complicated (too long to describe it here), and Rimsey handled it with the outmost professionalism, understanding and patience. John and Jakob, the moving crew, were just as nice, professional and knowledgeable and, as unpleasant this move was for me, the Top Notch crew made it that much easier. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Anthony F. And his Team were very professional, polite and courteous. All moved with speed and a lot of care for my furniture. They also are very mindful of my two cats, making sure the door to the basement was closed so the cats did not leave designated area. Anthony F. Communicated in a clear manner while me furniture was offloaded, which was done with the same amount of care shown during the on load. I would highly recommend Top Notch Moving with professionals like Anthony F. And the team he assembled.

I utilized Gregory Robinson and his team at Top Notch Moving Services for an office move recently in which I had nearly 30 years of files that needed to be relocated across town.The team arrived promptly, handled the cargo with care and was done in less time that initially expected. Gregory was a pleasure to work with and streamlined the whole process from start to finish.I would gladly use their services again and would recommend to anyone needing either commercial or residential moves.

From the moment I contracted with Top Notch Moving, my experience was outstanding. From contract to dispatch to moving day to final payment, everything was professional. The friendly crew of 4 did a very professional job caring for my belongings. They went above and beyond on some of my requests. Anthony, Sid, Gene, Christopher (and Kevin in the office) were far superior to any other moving crew I've used for 7 moves in 15 years. Thank you guys!

This is my 6th move in 12 years, and one of the best. They handled the routine things perfectly, and the notorious little hiccups that come with moves like professionals. Their brute force yet finesse when they maneuvered furniture, without grazing walls, was impressive. Thank you Anthony, Ryan, and Gene.

I had an outstanding experience with Top Notch Moving Services during my recent move. Their moving crew was meticulous and efficient, Mike, Gene, and Candy were very professional and kind. What truly stood out was the expertise and guidance provided by moving estimator Kevin Miller, he was very detailed-oriented and really went the extra mile to explain to me what to expect of their moving services. His knowledge made the entire booking process very easy for me. I highly recommend Top Notch Moving Services if you're relocating within the DMV area, especially if you're fortunate enough to have Kevin Miller assisting with your move. It's a five-star service all around!

The packing team of Mike, Gene, and Candy were very professional and efficient. They were careful with my items, and polite in all interactions. The load and delivery team of Anthony, Mike, Gene, and John went above and beyond, especially because my new home is on the 3rd floor, with no elevator. They kept their positive attitudes, and completed the job in one day.

Top Notch Moving Services was amazing. I called the office last month and got a hold of a lady named Amy. I told her my situation and that I needed to be out of my condo the very next day and she said they were swamped that day, but let her work on some thing. She called me back an hour later and had a crew at my house the very next morning and they did a phenomenal job, I’m in a temporary home right now but when I’m ready to move again, I will definitely be calling them

I had an emergency move to get out of my apartment on time and into housing with friends. These guys were able to outfit me with a move. I thought I had decluttered more than I did. I have extra stuff which took extra time and they were so kind to stay a few more hours. The crew safely disassembled and assembled some large furniture pieces too. Very happy!

We have hired their services to move our office to a new location ( on a second floor) in multiple days. They are careful , they diligently padded all the walls and flooring before they started moving. Once they started, they work very quick. Greg's team is very accomodating and friendly together with Mikey, Sam, Dom, Trap, and Alfonso. They cleaned up well too when they were done. We surely would hire them again if we needed to move again.

Our move was on the hottest day of the year but Sam and the crew (wish I had their names) were positively amazing!! I can’t say enough good things about them. The experience was amazing starting with my initial conversation with Kevin. Kevin was awesome in setting up the move and had extreme patience in helping me figure out what I actually needed for the move. He was able to schedule a quick turnaround for us and I can’t thank him enough. Top Notch exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend them. Ask to speak to Kevin and request Sam and his team and you won’t be disappointed.
