Moving in Richmond
Richmond has a lot of Fan District and Church Hill rowhouses: three storeys, narrow stairs, and turns that a sofa will not clear. Hoisting or disassembly comes up on a real share of jobs, and it should be assessed on the survey rather than discovered on moving day.
What decides a Richmond crew day is rarely the mileage — it is the stair count, the parking and whether anything has to come apart to clear a doorway. The closest market we also cover is Newport News, 70 miles out. The nearest large market outside Virginia is Washington, DC, about 120 miles and 1 day away.
The survey matters more here than the postcode: two houses on the same street in Richmond can be a half-day apart once stairs and access are counted.

Moving in Richmond: common questions
Which Richmond ZIP codes do you cover?
23218, 23219, 23220, 23221, 23222, 23223, 23224, 23225 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How fast can you deliver out of Richmond?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Newport News, VA — 70 mi, 1 day; Norfolk, VA — 90 mi, 1 day; Chesapeake, VA — 100 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Chesterfield County?
Yes. Richmond is what people search for, but crews run throughout Chesterfield County and the surrounding towns.
Do you pack as well as move in Richmond?
Full pack, partial pack, or just the fragile things — kitchens, art and electronics are the usual partial-pack request. It matters beyond convenience: damage to a carton you packed yourself is generally not covered the way a professionally packed one is.
