495 Movers

I moved from a high-rise apartment to a similar apartment in downtown Silver Spring, MD. The 3 gentlemen who moved my possessions were professional, courteous, and worked steadily. They continued to work hard until the job was done. Everything arrived in good condition and in a timely manner.  This was a one-bedroom move and they arrived a little after 9am and finished up around 3pm.   All my furniture was wrapped in protective padding and shrink wrap before the move.  They even helped with dismantling the bed and table and assembled them in new home.
When we arrived in my new home, the loading dock was in a separate area further away from the apartment.  I felt bad that the guys had to trudge back and forth all that distance.  But they told me to stay inside in my new home and that they will take care of my belongings.  And they did.  I packed most of my belongings in numerous large boxes which were quite heavy and they moved them without any problems.  As for the cost, I felt that the cost was reasonable.  They also asked for 10% to 15% gratuity which I agreed to pay.  All in all, I was very satisfied with their moving service.

I recently engaged 495Movers to move me 4 hours from my location. They arrived before normal start time of 8:00 a.m. The owner, Tom, was extremely accurate on the estimated costs of moving, although I thought it would take less time, it was exactly what he said because the three movers took there time to ensure boxes were secure (and if not, they took necessary precautions to wrap for benefit of no damages to property). We found that the prior movers who moved my items to storage had damaged quite a few pieces and they took photos for my insurance claim). Unloading was performed at the same level. I would highly recommend this company.

P.S. I came to them by way of referral. My friend had to move from three locations in one day and they did such a superb job that I decided to move with them as well.

This review is regarding a move performed on April 23, 2015. This is officially the second time that I've used 495 Movers. The first involved me using their services to move furniture out of my condo and into storage. They not only moved my furniture into storage as planned, but arrived early, wrapped all of my furniture in a bubble-like wrapping, moved it onto the truck, transported it safely to the storage unit, and actually use less than half the space in the storage unit to store the furniture. All while also performing the job in more than 2 hours less than predicted. That specific service had me hooked.  This review current review however, is for my mom who needed movers, of which I recommended 495 Movers. The move that was done for my mom was actually even better than the move I experienced for myself. My mom needed her furniture moved from her townhouse into a condo. Not only did the movers do everything as explained above that I expected of them, but they also beat us to the destination when transporting the furniture from the townhouse to the condo! I was completely floored at how they actually beat me to the destination when I actually left ahead of them. Also, arguably more impressed with the fact that all of the furniture was still intact and not damaged. If you want efficient movers who will give you peace of mind regarding a move, 495 Movers are the best.

I actually scheduled this move a day before I was supposed to get all of my stuff from my apartment.  My original mover fell through on Sunday, the day before I was supposed to move.  I looked up movers in my area and found 495 Movers via Google.  They had a 4.5 rating and many good reviews.  So, I went to there website and filled out my information to get a quote.  Tom from 495 movers called me within an hour of my request!  He went over everything with me and though the quote was more expensive than I would have liked I went with it.  I was able to get move scheduled the very next day which kept me on schedule for my job relocation.  To say 495 Movers was a life saver is an understatement!  The guys who showed up were very professional and quick.  They took direction fairly well and were able to get me packed up in about 2 hours.  I would definitely use them again if I move, though I may have to save up a bit before I use their services again:).

I received 5 different quotes from companies to move my 2 bedroom home from Takoma, DC to Silver Spring, MD.  Tom at 495 Movers followed up with a call to my online request for an estimate to get further information about my exact inventory.  He was plesant, professional and had an immediate sense of helpfulness. Believe me you want helpfull people around you when you're moving.  
Tom emailed the detailed inventory as he said he would and when I provided my own list in a format other than their online list, he called to clarify a few things and immediately provided me with a quote.  I made my decision to go with 495 movers over a few othe least expensive moving quotes I had received because of his professionalism and follow-up with me.
The moving crew called about 30 minutes before they arrived to my house to inform me they were on their way, but they showed up about 1 1/2 hrs early. Not necessarily what you want when you're planning ot get up early the day of your move and finish packing some last minute things, but the crew more than made up for it.  
The moving crew of three cam in and IMMEDIATELY scoped out my place, decided on their plan of attack and went to work.  They hustled for 3hrs straight with out stop.
I LOVE the fact that 495 has boxes/paper for those last minute things you can't fit in and they will even pack them for you!!
When we got to my new place, they came up, took a look and the different rooms, I told them where the major pieces of equipment were going to go and they went to work.
Overall, I was completely satisfied with their hard work and professionalism.
I would definitely use them again and recommend them to VERY close friends :-)

495 Movers completely surpassed our expectations and we were
very happy with their services.  We had
previously had a bad experience with movers and were very skeptical at finding
a company that would be reliable.  Tom Y
was friendly and assured us that our move would be flawless – which it was!  We did have a hiccup with the truck’s battery
dying, but we experienced minimal delays due to the crew’s immediate attention
to the issue.  The movers were very
friendly and helpful – and they moved quick! 
We were very impressed with how accurate our quote was – there really
are no “extra” charges, the flat rate is as they say.  I even went to the warehouse and picked up
moving supplies for FREE.  I would highly
recommend 495 Movers and will use them if/when we have another move!

We had a fabulous experience with 495 movers - both when we moved out, and when we moved into our new place. We also stored all of our belongings in the storage units for 8 months. It was incredibly convenient to have the same company move us, and store our belongings. I only have good things to say about this company - very professional, on time, clean. The price was fair, and I would not hesitate to contact this company again when I move next (although I hope that will not be for a while).
Well done - highly recommend!

I found 495 Movers when I searched the BBB.org. BBB rates them A+ and they are licensed and insured. When I first called them, I gave a list of all the items being moved. VERY accurately, they were able to estimate the time the move would take. In detail, they went over their rates. My movers were Tom and Selina. They were at my home on time. They even had the courtesy to call me to say they were going to be a tad early and asked if I wanted to start earlier or wait. I was more than appreciative of their call and the fact they did not just show up. Tom came in and introduced himself. We did a walk through first and he explained, in detail, how the move would go. Then, they both got down to business. There are not enough superlatives to describe the amazing level of care they gave EACH item when it came to packing and moving. Everything, not boxed, was padded then wrapped with a clear wrap material to hold the pads in place. The speed that both Tom and Selina packed, brought down and loaded up the moving van was highly impressive. The same can be said with how they unloaded and moved everything into it's final destination. Post move, I asked them if they could take some furniture items we wished to discard to our local recycling area. Since we were paying by the hour, they were willing to remove what we wanted. The only surcharge, which we were made aware of in advance, was a fee the recycling area charges based on the weight of the items. The service cost listed below includes the extra time we asked them to remove and take some items to the recycling facility. Both Tom and Selina are extremely polite, extremely professional and made moving, which in itself is stressful, a totally stress free experience. I highly recommend them and 495 Movers for any type of move. Thank you for a job more than well done and we look forward to working with you in the future! Mona Kirsch.

495 Movers is by far the best, friendliest and quickest moving company I have ever used. The staff was not only friendly but also extremely helpful. Nate, the owner answered all my questions and was very patient with me as difficulties arose on my end. The movers were professional and as careful as one can imagine with all my possessions, which is actually pretty rare to find in moving companies now a days. They were accommodating, understanding, and I was especially surprised with how well they were prepared. I can not recommend 495 Movers enough. They made the moving process easy. Thank you 495 Movers!!

Oscar, Julio and Carlos showed up right at 8am to begin our move. My husbands parents were moving 2 hours from their home to be closer to us. Their house was FULL of antique furniture and rooms of boxes. We even had to work around a spiral staircase. They guys were excellent. They were extremely efficient and careful with everything. They even helped us move some furniture to a neighbors house that we were giving away. We drove 2 hours around the beltway to the new home. Upon arriving, they helped us unpack and set up the furniture. I highly recommend 495 Movers! Ask for Oscar. As the leader of the team he was extremely professional and hard working. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

The estimate is way off; they gave very low estimate to get the job. Crew came 1H late; Crew do not have moving skill, training or personally. Took much longer, than the estimate. Broke multiple things and made scratches &dings on both of my houses. I never EVER hire them; I recommend NOT to hire them. Don't believe in the reviews. You will regret like me. I paid few hundreds more for nothing. No one called me to find out about, how the move went. I called them to tell about the numerous broken and damaged items. Company owner is upset that I wrote these reviews. My intention is none of the customer who is paying for their services should not go through, what I went through. .
