Make Your Move Easy
Your Moving Schedule
- Schedule and participate in an in-home estimate. Ask questions and be as detailed as possible so we can identify your specific needs.
- Schedule your move 3-4 weeks prior to moving day.
- Reserve freight elevator if required by your building
- Immediately communicate schedule changes.
- Confirm your moving reservation two days prior to pick-up.
30 Days Prior to Your Move
- Don't move things that you don't want. Sell as many as you can with a garage sale or advertise online. Donate what's left to charities, such as the Salvation Army, Goodwill Industries or Amvets. If you donate items to a charity, be sure to get a receipt for a tax deduction.
- Submit a change of address form to the Unites States Postal Service. Notify friends, family and employers of your new address.
- Fill out an IRS change of address form. Depending on the reason for your move and the distance you're moving, many of the expenses may be tax deductible.
- Get copies of your medical and dental records, if moving long distance.
- If you're moving out of state, find out about auto licensing and insurance.
- If you're moving in-state, find out where and how to change your address on your driver's license.
- Notify your kids' schools and have their records transferred to their new schools.
- Return any cable or internet equipment.
8 to 14 Days Before Your Move
- Collect all the items you may have loaned out.
- Return library books or any other borrowed items.
- Make arrangements to disconnect gas, electric and other utilities. Remember to collect refunds of your deposits from electric, water, telephone, cable, and oil and gas companies.
- Make arrangements to connect utilities at your new place.
2 to 7 Days Before Your Move
- Get rid of all flammables.
- Decide what you're bringing with you in the car.
- Arrange for removal of "installed items" you're bringing with you, like a wall-mounted television or shelves.
- Pack a suitcase with the clothes, medications and toiletries you'll need the first day in your new home.
- Empty, defrost and clean your refrigerator. Make sure it has at least 2-3 days to air dry.
The Day Before Moving Day
- Take down curtains and curtain rods.
- Collect all keys to locking items. Put them in a safe place.

They were wonderful. They did just great. They were friendly, professional, and on time. We had a 7,500-square-foot house, and we took stuff from a storage unit to two different houses, so it was a lot of work. I'd give McKendree an A+
Potomac, MD to Merritt Island, FL
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★McKendree moved us from Maryland to Wellston, Ohio. The movers were careful in what they did, and they certainly were efficient. They didn't break anything, and they finished surprisingly quickly. They did a lot of work, and they did a good job-they were trustworthy, responsible, and personable. I'd give them an A, and I'd recommend them
Upper Marlboro, MD to Wellston, OH
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★McKendree Moving was amazing. They were wonderful. They were mature, smart, and efficient. The people were very careful and skilled with my furniture. I can't even say how great they were. I had to move again six months later, and I hired another mover-appalling. They had two extra men, and they couldn't do half the job McKendree did. They're better than an A+

Bethesda, MD to Chevy Chase, MD
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★They did a very nice job. They showed up on time. They accomplished the job very quickly, and they were just very pleasant and very cooperative. I had a lot of furniture stored on my main level because I was redoing my upstairs, and they came to move all the furniture back to my second level. It was a small job, so they packed it onto the back end of a larger job, and it was just really well-handled. They cleaned up after themselves and finished in a timely manner. I'd give them an A
