What EXPRESS MOVING AND STORAGE LLC does

Express Moving and Storage LLC is a privately held, full-service residential and commercial moving and storage company founded in 2013 and headquartered at 923 S. Pickett St, Alexandria, Virginia. The company serves the Washington DC metropolitan area, including Northern Virginia, Maryland, and DC proper, targeting residential homeowners and renters, commercial and government clients, and seniors. It employs a crew of 25 trained movers and operates a fleet of five trucks (four 26-foot and one 17-foot) plus additional box trucks, supported by an 11,000 sq ft climate-controlled, 24/7-surveilled warehouse facility. The company holds DOT operating authority (DOT #2421355, MC #840131) for interstate moves and is BBB Accredited, with an Angi Super Service Award for 2021-2024 and a 4.9/5 rating across 353 reviews.

The service portfolio spans local hourly-rate moves (within 50 miles), long-distance flat-rate interstate and intrastate moves, office and commercial relocations, corporate relocation management with dedicated project managers, and specialty services including piano, senior, government/military, apartment, and white-glove moves. Add-on services include packing/unpacking, junk removal, and storage, with the first month of storage free when bundled with a move. Revenue is generated through one-time project fees (long-distance flat rates, local hourly with 3-hour minimum), subscription-style monthly storage fees, and labor-only hourly engagements. The company functions as a direct-to-consumer operator with no third-party resellers or marketplace listings; customer acquisition relies on Google and Yelp reviews, organic SEO, educational blog content, and referral partnerships (NVFS, BNI, VMWA). Co-owners Robin Boldt and Caesar lead the business, which has operated continuously for 12+ years without external investment.
