Things to Know

Services Offered

• RESIDENTIAL MOVES – Residential moves are the largest percentage of the types of moves we perform. We are fully equipped to move large 4BR+ homes, apartments, row houses, townhouses, studios as well as only a few items.
• COMMERCIAL MOVES – We provide full commercial moving services. Offices are sometimes more challenging to estimate correctly than residential moves, so we always recommend an on-site estimate. We can also provide a full box packing service to prepare for a complete office relocation. Note that building managements almost always require Certificates of Insurance from moving companies before moving or box pack day.
• INTERSTATE/INTRASTATE MOVES – We require an on-site survey to provide our potential long-distance customers with a binding estimate and inventory for an efficient move process. For all interstate moves we require 10% deposit to secure crew and truck for your move, another 40% due at the pickup time and 50% balance due at the delivery before unloading. Please contact us to set up an in-person estimate.
• POD/ABF/RENTED TRUCKS – Some customers opting to use storage containers or rental trucks for their moves but still need professional help for loading/offloading, large/heavy items and box packing. Since items loaded into containers for long distance transport can shift dramatically it is important to use professional help. Mighty Men Moving offers (labor only, no MIGHTY MEN MOVING truck) for these types of moves. One of the most important details is how close you can park the container to the location entrance – a long walk will add more time to the process. If loading, consider if you will be providing furniture blankets or if you are needing to purchase protective materials from MIGHTY MEN MOVING. We offer cloth blankets for $10/ea., paper blankets for $3.50/ea. and shrink wrap for $20/roll. You will also need some type of tie-down straps for pianos and large items that will shift easily in transport. *Note that MIGHTY MEN MOVING is not liable for any household goods damages after the container or rental truck is in transport from the move location. Also note that MIGHTY MEN MOVING is not liable for any household goods damages during the direct offloading of items from containers that may have shifted or been damaged during transport to the offload destination.
• STORAGE UNITS – Moving in/out of a storage unit is straight forward, a long walk between unit and truck will add more time to the process. For a move into storage, consider if you will be providing furniture blankets or if you are needing to purchase protective materials from MIGHTY MEN MOVING. We offer cloth blankets for $10/ea., paper blankets for $3/ea. and shrink wrap for $15/roll. Most times items being moved out of storage are blanket wrapped, if they are not, we can wrap items and no additional materials charge with our day-to-day blankets. *Note that MIGHTY MEN MOVING is only liable for damage caused while loading, transporting, or unloading. Our liability and insurance coverage ceases after we have completed the moving of your goods into the storage unit. We also realize that there is possibility of customers and other authorized individuals accessing your storage unit and adjusting the items after we have loaded the items in your storage unit.
• BOX PACKING ONLY – Mighty Men Moving can provide you with professional packing as a single service – separate from a pack & move package. The charges are hourly rate and materials.
• PIANOS – With years of piano moving experience, we welcome the challenge of moving any piano from small uprights to parlor grands. Your piano can be moved as part of a complete household move included in the charge of a move, or as a single item. Please call MIGHTY MEN MOVING for hourly rates on single piano moves. (Based on difficulty of access to and from moving locations, i.e. challenging stairwells, over grass carry.) We require a picture of your piano emailed to us before scheduling moving services.

Pre-Move/Move Day

• RATES/CHARGES – We charge hourly in quarter hour increments with minimum 1-hour travel charges. There is a three-hour minimum for all moves. Example: a move from Arlington to Arlington which begins at 9:00 AM and ends at 12:00 PM will be 4 hours, 3 hours of moving plus 1 hour of travel.
• TRAVEL TIMES/TRIP FEE – With all of us spending more and more time driving in DC metro area traffic, MIGHTY MEN MOVING must allow for travel times accordingly. Travel/trip fee is the drive time from our office to origin and back to our office when move is completed. Travel time/trip fee is charged additionally to loading/transport/unloading time. Minimum travel time charge is 60 minutes.

Please note: Factors that may effect this include: stairs, elevators, long carry, distance between new and old residences, truck parking, packing services and your own unique size/amount of belongings.

• PAYMENT – Unless otherwise arranged in advance, payment is expected before or upon receipt of your goods, in the form of cash, check and credit card. We charge an additional 5% fee for credit card payments and a 5% discount for cash payments of the total charges. *Gratuity is suggested and should reflect the quality and professionalism of service provided by our employees.

• INSURANCE – Mighty Men Moving provides with every move insurance at the industry standard of cargo, commercial liability, general liability, and workers’ compensation policies. This is the minimum coverage required by the government and is provided free of charge. There may be a need for a separate individual insurance rider for extremely high valued items at additional costs. Certificates of insurance are available upon request. It is the customer’s responsibility to check with property management if there is a certificate of insurance required prior to the move, or any other requirements that are necessary. If we are not notified of the certificate of insurance or other requirements, we will not be held responsible for any delays. If a certificate of insurance is requested, we will need to know who to list as certificate holder, any additional insured’s, a fax number/e-mail address, and the name of a representative of whom to send to.

•  PARKING – If parking a large truck will have limited space at either your old or new location, or if it appears that it will be necessary for us to double park in front of your locations, you should advise us of this before moving day. You should allow for about 40-50 feet per truck, including that the walk ramps add on to the total length of our trucks. If you live in a densely populated area such as Adams Morgan, Georgetown or Old Town Alexandria we advise you to obtain Emergency No Parking Signs from your local police precinct. You must ask for them four or more days in advance, fewer days will usually be too late for issue. You can help prevent any problems by parking your own cars and placing barrels, cones etc. in the necessary spaces – one to two days prior to the move. We also suggest d.TOPS (https://tops.ddot.dc.gov) and Permit Puller, (www.movingpermits.com)
• GUIDANCE/WALK THROUGH – The customer or representative must always be present during the move. We need your guidance! It is customer’s responsibility to do a final “walk-through” of the premises to ensure all items are loaded/unloaded. Our time runs continuously until all tools and equipment are back in the truck and payment is completed. If the individual who is responsible for the details of the move and for final payment of the move is not present at start, during and completion of the move, we will charge accordingly for any additional time needed to finalize the move and obtain payment.
• TELEPHONES – A cell phone number is necessary to help us for pre-move day confirmation and move-day communication. A secondary phone number such as a work contact is helpful.
• ELEVATORS/DOCKS – Some buildings managements require you to reserve the elevator and/or loading dock in advance, and many building managements do not permit you to move on weekends, before 9AM or use their primary tenant elevators. An elevator key or independent use only setting is highly recommended. Please advise us as to the schedule you have reserved for your elevator.
• LARGE ITEMS – Certain bulk or large items (armoires, mattresses, cribs, large wall units, refrigerators, pianos, safes, cast iron stoves, etc.) can turn an otherwise easy move more challenging. Particularly if it is discovered after we arrive and begin your move that the job will require one or more complicated procedures involving hoisting or furniture disassembly. You can help us in this regard by providing us information regarding these items which we may have missed in estimating your move. We require a picture of pianos and gun safes emailed to us before estimating moving costs.
• DC, OLD TOWN, CAPITOL HILL ETC.… Residents – Well known for having small, tight stairwells and entrances. Sometimes modern-day furniture does not fit into these dwellings. Our crew will do their best, but we cannot be held responsible if an item does not fit into your residence. Mighty Men Moving will not be liable for damage caused by any non-routine moving including, but not limited to; hoisting, standing pieces on end, handing items over railings, sharp turns, overcrowded areas, and tight hallways/entrances.
• HOISTING AND FURNITURE DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY – Most instances there is an additional $50-$100 charge per hoisting event. For the most difficult hoisting jobs, customers will need to sign a document releasing Mighty Men Moving from liability for potential damage. We attempt to supply our trucks with the necessary tools for all basic furniture disassembly so let us know if you have a particularly unique item. Pictures of the item and attachment prior to move day would be helpful. If we are not made aware of items needing extensive disassembly/reassembly, this can add a substantial amount of time to the initial estimated time.
• ITEMS THAT SHOULD BE REMOVED OR CONSIDERED PRIOR TO PACK OR MOVE DAY – Mighty Men Moving, Inc. shall not be responsible for loss or damage to accounts, bills, checks, evidence of debts, letters of credit, passports, tickets, documents, manuscripts, notes, mechanical drawings, securities, currency, money, bullion, precious stones, jewelry, or other similar valuables, paintings, statuary, or other works of art; or property carried gratuitously or as an accommodation. The process of removing drawers must be done in the presence of the customer or their agent. We require that all valuables be place in a secure area off the premises prior to moving day. Example: (A vehicle or a family members or a friend’s residence.) All jewelry chest must be emptied by the customer, we cannot load any furniture items or boxes containing the above mentioned valuables. List of non-allowable items.
• PARTICLE BOARD & ENGINEERED WOOD – Furniture items manufactured from press board, particleboard and/or engineered wood (PBEW) are designed to go into a box from the manufacturer, to the retailer, and then to the customer un-assembled. These items are not designed to withstand the normal stress of a move as an assembled unit, such as regular wood furniture. Most of PBEW furniture is not built/designed with the proper wood/metal structure to brace the unit/piece for movement in and out of a residence, office, or storage facility. PBEW furniture is not designed to withstand the normal truck vibrations and content shifting during transport and physical moving. Usually chips or dents are not repairable. Assembly instructions sometimes suggest that the hardware pieces be glued together, and/or locked into place. This DOES NOT improve the structural integrity of the item, but does make disassembly impossible, without creating substantial damage, usually beyond repair. Customers will be asked to sign a release of liability stating that Mighty Men Moving will not be liable for any claim for damage to PBEW furniture due to the inherent vice of particleboard, and or engineered wood furniture due to the inherent susceptibility to damage, as outlined above.
• RIGHT OR REFUSAL – Mighty Men Moving reserves the right not to provide moving services under dangerous, unsanitary, or uncivil situations the determination of which is at the discretion of the mover crew chief on site.
• UNFINISHED ATTICS – Mighty Men Moving movers cannot work in attics that do not have up to code flooring installed. Mighty Men Moving assumes no responsibility for ceiling/attic damage.
• INCLEMENT WEATHER – Mighty Men Moving reserves the right to reschedule moves at an agreed upon time, without liability if there is inclement weather, including, but not limited to heavy/freezing rain, snow emergency, hurricane warning, weather travel ban etc. You will have the option of being re-scheduled to our next available day. We will do our best to reschedule you as soon as possible. If the move is agreed to continue as originally scheduled on a day with inclement weather, the customer agrees to the additional time charges incurred to complete the move.

Packing/Prepping Instructions

• LABELING – Label boxes with a magic marker, try not to use stickers since they tend to fall off during moves. Write as much information on boxes as possible so you can quickly find items at your new locations. Use consistent labeling such as MBR or GBR for Master Bedroom and Guest Bedroom. Write “fragile” on more than one side for fragile boxes.
• KITCHEN & MISC – Seal cleaning supplies tightly. Small appliances should be packed in linen boxes or dish barrels. Refrigerators should be defrosted, and their trays removed. Perishable and glass items should be labeled and marked accordingly. We prefer that customers pack refrigerator/freezer items into temporary coolers themselves, we can move full coolers if needed. Tape brooms, mops, etc. together for efficiency.
• FRAGILE/DISHES/GLASSES – Use as much packing paper as needed, the more used the better chance your fragile items will not be damaged. Pad the bottom of boxes with blank newsprint (packing paper) or newspaper, use blank newsprint to avoid ink on dishes. Do not over stuff boxes, this may cause damage to fragile items. Try to use smaller book boxes for denser fragile glass/crystal vases and china, larger boxes for light pots and pans. *Kitchens take the longest to pack, start early and complete kitchen packing before moving day!
• REFRIGERATORS/FREEZERS – Units should be emptied unless it is a garage to garage transfer not involving stairs. We do move average sized refrigerators, but quite often larger units will not fit through doors needing disassembly of the handles or doors to fit. We assess each unit as to the risk involved in any disassembly so we may not be able to offer this service depending on the circumstances. It will be that much more challenging if there is a water dispenser in needing to disconnect the water connection.*We do not move industrial sized refrigerators, display cases, large wine coolers etc…
• BEDROOMS – We can disassemble beds and cribs (not waterbeds) and furniture wrap items, as a normal part of any move. We can also reassemble these items. However please note that if the time we spend on any disassembly or reassembly is not computed in the original estimate we cannot be held responsible for complications, delays, or lack of proper tools. Let us know in advance if you’ve any special requests or need any special tools. Some “IKEA” type platform beds can be very time consuming to disassemble/reassemble. Disassembly of beds prior to the move day is recommended.
• CLOTHING – Most dressers need to be emptied, unless they are medium/small such as children’s dressers. For hanging clothes, we can provide you with the necessary wardrobe boxes, at $5.00/ea. rental.
• DESKS/DRESSERS – Desks, nightstands and bookshelves need to be completely emptied and cleared off. Chests and dressers are best emptied, it is only necessary to empty drawers if an item is very heavy or weak (read our particle board liability section). Also, dressers with weak legs/feet need additional care when tilting and carrying. If you cannot easily tilt a full dresser by yourself then it probably needs to be emptied. If a dresser is light it is acceptable to leave clothing in the drawers, fragile items and liquids should not be left in any drawers. Generally, drawers are difficult to carry individually, it is best to leave them inside the item. Commercial type desks with hutches and returns will take additional time do disassemble/reassemble. All jewelry chest must be emptied by the customer, we cannot load these into our trucks unless emptied of contents.
• OFFICE – Books, papers and files should be packed only in book or office tote boxes (no larger than letter size). The contents of desks should be emptied, as we cannot be liable for damage or loss to their contents while in transit. Some sturdy metal 2-4 drawer file cabinets can be left full if there is an elevator, but the extreme weight of the contents can crush the bottoms when being rolled with a hand truck.  If file cabinets need to be carried via stairs they should be emptied. Lateral type file cabinets and wooden file cabinets must be emptied whether there is an elevator or stairs. Commercial type desks with hutches and returns will take additional time do disassemble/reassemble. We are not liable for damage to particle board style desks such as standing desks with metal legs or panel legs. These must be disassembled to avoid screw and attachments tear out.
• STEREOS, COMPUTERS, ELECTRONICS, ETC. – If you are unable to use your original boxes, we can wrap these items in furniture blankets. We prefer that customers move PCs themselves because of sensitive hard drive data.
• FRAMES/PAINTINGS/PICTURES/MIRRORS – Consolidate into one area out of the lane of moving traffic. Please do not place into plastic bags. We typically wrap medium to large frames in furniture blankets, at customer request we can provide mirror cartons at $7/ea. NOTE: We cannot assume responsibility for frame-less prints, posters, and mirrors.
• FLAT SCREEN TVs – These are susceptible to damage from extreme temperatures, slight bumps, and altitude changes. The original packaging is the best. In any case, please note that in the absence of physical evidence of external damage or negligence (visible damage) we are not responsible for TVs functioning after delivery. Wrapping TVs in two or three blanket layers will be sufficient to protect for moving and transport.
• LAMPS – Shades and globes must be removed and packed. We cannot be liable for damage to these if left unpacked. We blanket wrap all lamps. Pole lamps are very prone to damage if they have a weighted cement base, this base can already be cracked or will crack during any type of movement – we cannot take liability for this type of damage.
• PLANTS – We can move large and heavy pots and potted plants but prefer not to move smaller and more fragile plants. As plants are extremely vulnerable to changes in environment and temperature. The temperature in our trucks will be at least 15-20 degrees warmer in the summer season. We cannot assume liability for live plants. We cannot move loose potting soil, firewood, and other yard supplies in our trucks.
• WASHERS/DRYERS/STOVES – Couplings should be disconnected, but our crew can perform this task if requested in advance. We cannot, however, be held responsible for damage to housings, hoses, or pipes. Gas dryer connections are sometimes beyond our movers’ expertise.
• TREADMILLS/ELLIPTICAL/PELOTON/FITNESS EQUIP. – We can move these items, but sometimes there may be a need to disassemble the arms or other parts to fit through doors. We recommend that customers disassemble these items themselves or hire a fitness equipment specialist to disassemble and move them since we cannot disassemble these items. MMM Inc will not be held liable to any damage to electronic parts, motors and wires including if the item will not work properly after being moved. Cable systems with stack-plate weights and pulleys can take hours to disassemble/reassemble. e.g. Bowflex, Nordic Track.
• PLAY SETS – Outdoor play sets, basketball stands, trampolines and tree houses most times need to be disassembled to be moved safely.

FINAL NOTE – The more thoroughly items are packed, consolidated and sealed in moderate weight boxes, the quicker and easier your move will be completed.

Packing Materials

Mighty Men Moving can provide you with professional box packing in addition to our moving service – on the same day or prior to your move. For those who prefer to pack themselves, we can deliver to you your packing materials and you need not pay for them until the completion of you move. Free delivery (for scheduled customers) is available several days a week (20 boxes minimum). It is our recommendation that you use packing materials consistent with your desire to protect the quality of your goods. If you wish to use your own boxes, be sure they can be sealed top to bottom, and that they are strong enough and not over packed (i.e. records and books should not be packed in boxes originally designed for paper towels or such light items). Try also to use boxes similar in size, as they will be easier and safer to stack. Clearly label all fragile boxes accordingly (see packing instructions below). We cannot assume responsibility for damage to fragile items in a box not clearly marked as such and packed by customers.

We also sell good used boxes at a 75% discount off new box prices – a delivery fee applies for customers not booked for moving with Mighty Men. There is no credit for returned used boxes.

• BOOK BOX – (1.67 cf) – $2.50 – For books, records (upright), flatware and small kitchen items, and small fragile items. If packing small sets of dishes or breakables, pad the bottom of the box with three inches of wadded newsprint and wrap all breakables individually. Use the “tuck and roll” method with the packing of cups and glass items. Plates should be stacked vertically on their edges. Pack everything tightly, do not leave items protruding out and when box is full close the top flaps and seal.
• MEDIUM (LINEN) BOX – (3.1 cf)- $4.00 – Not just for linens and blankets, but for pots and pans, small kitchen appliances, lampshades, baskets, and other lightweight medium-bulky items. Please do not pack books or records in these boxes.
• WARDROBE (HANGING) BOX – $20.00/buy…$5/rent per move – One wardrobe will fit up to 3 linear feet of closet space. The cost of three or four wardrobes is less than what you would spend to clean the clothes you are protecting. We prefer to supply and load wardrobe boxes on the day of your move, wardrobes are inconvenient space takers and are quick to load.
• PACKING PAPER – $30.00/25lb Bundle – Clean newsprint will protect your dishes and other fragile or scratch-able items. Use generously. *Old newspaper works as well but note that ink can rub off on items and hands.
• TAPE – $3.00/roll – Plastic packing tape, for the tops and bottoms of all your boxes. Masking, cellophane, and duct tape should not be used. Do not apply the tape to the surface of your furniture items, such as desk of file drawers. The tape’s adhesive may leave a residue, or it may strip the paint or stain.
• SHRINK WRAP – $20/roll – For protecting cloth covered items such as couches from stains and dust, not ideal for scratch prevention on wood items.
• MATTRESS COVER – $10.00/ea. – Clear plastic bag of various bed sizes to protect mattresses and box springs from dust and rain during the moving process.

Materials recommended for moves when items are going into storage or rental trucks:

• CLOTH BLANKETS – $10.00/ea. – Quality cloth blankets, not as heavy as our regular day-to-day blankets ($15.00/ea) for more affordability.
• PAPER KRAFT BLANKETS – $3.00/ea – Even more affordable than cloth but more susceptible to rips and tears. Ideal for not-too-fragile items such as wicker.

• ANTIQUES, OBJECTS OF VIRTU; DRY, BRITTLE – Items such as gilded mirrors, very old wood built furniture, chandeliers, art work and any similar items that have seen the test of time will not hold up well when being transported.

We recommend that you crate these items, there are additional costs for this service.
• FILE CABINETS & DESKS – Some sturdy metal 2-4 drawer file cabinets can be left full if there is an elevator, but the extreme weight of the contents can crush the bottoms when being rolled with a hand truck.  If file cabinets need to be carried via stairs they should be emptied. Lateral type file cabinets and wooden file cabinets must be emptied whether there is an elevator or stairs. The contents of desks should be emptied, as we cannot be liable for damage or loss to their contents while in transit.

• DETERIORATED WOOD/MATERIALS – Item deterioration occurs over time due to age/heat/dry rotting. Wood dowels and furniture, mattresses lump and disfigure upon disturbing, lampshades and wiring also become brittle and dry. We ask that customers consider this when damage to deteriorating items does occur during moving.
• MARBLE – We realize that large marble tops can be quite heavy and awkward to move so this is an item that most times customers need assistance as part of their moves. Mighty Men Moving is not liable for any or all types of marble, due to the age and preexisting hairline cracks that can lead to breakage when lifted. We recommend that you place manageable marble items in your personal vehicles for safe transportation.
• TALL LAMPS WITH CONCRETE BASES – Lamps with weighted concrete bases will eventually deteriorate over numerous moves. Mighty Men Moving will not be liable for any broken/cracking concrete lamp during moving services.
