When a box isn't enough
Custom crating for moves in DC, Maryland and Virginia is how we protect the items a box can't: glass tabletops, marble, art, chandeliers and anything oddly shaped.
M.C. Movers builds crates sized to the item, padded inside and sealed for the trip. Crating is especially worth it for long distance moves and high-value pieces, where extra protection matters most.
What we crate
If it's fragile, heavy for its size, oddly shaped or hard to replace, a crate is often the safest way to move it.
Common items we crate:
- Glass and marble tabletops
- Large mirrors and framed art
- Chandeliers and light fixtures
- Sculptures and statues
- Antiques and heirlooms
- Electronics and equipment that need extra protection

Hands down, THE BEST! Michelle and Eboni were so wonderful, they were friendly, professional, quick to respond to every question we had. The packing team was amazing, Deb, Carolyn and Jay, came in and had our whole house packed in just a few hours. They wrapped everything so carefully as if it were their own. They were so sweet and friendly too! Then we had 6 guys and 2 trucks come in to do the move. Led by Trey and Carlton they were amazing! They were friendly, hard working, professional and handled everything with care. We had great conversations while they moved us and they left as new friends. We will never move without MC Movers again. We can't recommend them enough!

I give M.C. Movers 10 out of 10! From the very first phone call with Michelle, to make an appointment, to the two gentlemen, Franklin and Justino, who did the moving. Michelle was very professional, polite, and friendly. She asked all the questions necessary to make the move a great success. Not only were Franklin and Justino professional, polite, and friendly, they were fast and efficient. They treated all items as if they were their own. They wrapped, protected, and packed the truck and the storage facility very efficiently. Great job!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent service from start to finish! 3-bedroom .. 120 mile move to a different state without a hitch! Actually had to book a second truck ..(I underestimated my hoarding) .. a day before the move … NO PROBLEM.. and they suggested and additional crew member to speed the job and keep costs down! Crew was careful with everything and very polite. Great experience… will use them again when the time comes, no question.

I hired M.C Movers for a moving service in Silver Spring and was pretty satisfied by the result. Everything was scratch less from packing to moving and their employees was on time with the mentioned schedule. Highly recommended.
