If you are moving somewhere within Maryland, DC, or Virginia, you would have to be crazy to use anyone other than Bulldog movers. They are, without question, the best option. I would give higher than 5 stars if I could. I have undergone several moves with several different moving companies, and Bulldog movers is the best I have ever used, by a long shot. They operate by a standard of excellence that I didn't realize was possible. Carlos and Donald were absolutely incredible: they were timely, communicative, extremely nice and accommodating, and moved a ton of furniture,…
I did a ton of research into movers as this was my first time hiring movers and was so pleased with my experience. I read good reviews about bulldog movers, they were the better of multiple quotes and best of several reviews and after a call with Serena to chat through it i was sold. Freer customer service from time of booking to time of arrival to wrapping up. I had Johnathon and Aaron and they were on time, incredibly professional and careful with my belongings, so kind and delightful. We did take a bit longer but not their fault and worth every penny. They insisted i…
An awesome and seamless move! Luca, Aaron, and Jonathan were timely, friendly, and considerate. Asked lots of great questions and ensured our move was smooth; even with our home being a bit of a mess from our lack of preparation.
The set up process was easy. The responsiveness and flexibility in the changes I made were superb. Even to the point of actively helping me save money. The movers were great guys. Fun to talk to (they described moving a piano up 25 flights of stairs the day before) and respectful of property. They were lightning fast and thorough. They even helped me set up at the new place. Couldn’t be happier with whole experience.
Moving was super easy, all thanks to Bulldog Movers. Crew is very professional and make it so smooth! 5 stars is not enough 👏🏼
Excellent movers! Carlos, Donald, Aaron, and Jonathon helped me unload all of my belongings into my house, and were extremely pleasant, careful, and diligent. Probably the most enjoyable moving experience I’ve had in about 8 moves!
Luca and Alpha were wonderful. They showed up on time and worked diligently to get the move finished in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this company and these two movers in particular.
Very efficient and careful. The two guys (Jonathon & Alpha) were very professional. I’m helpful.
Bulldog Movers have become my #1 trusted mover! They’ve helped me both with residential moves and for my business, and I can’t say enough good things. From Samantha, who answers the phone with such detail and care to ensure you’re comfortable, to their hardworking crew, everyone is professional, efficient, and respectful. Danny and Carlos, along with their team, treated my belongings with such care—no damage, just thoughtful placement. Their pricing is fair, and they charge what they’re worth, which is a rare find. In an era of automated services, they stand out with…
These guys are the only company I’ll use to move stuff. I have used them 3 times and they packed a lot of my house and loaded a 26’ Penske truck that I drove 23 hours with multiple stops. When I went to unload there was zero movement from my items. It was awesome. They did a great job. I want to give a shout out to my last crew of Frank, Jonathon, and Gerson who were great and took care of business. Actual work was well under the estimate given and completely professional job. Don’t go anywhere else.
This place has affordable and efficient movers! This is the second time we’ve used this service in the past three years and we are always taken care of. Serena was very helpful over the phone and scheduled us in a pinch. Danny, Carlos R., and Oscar were our movers this go around. They were so professional, friendly and careful with all of our things. I highly recommend this business!
Our first time moving with big boxes and furniture ever and we're so glad it was with Bulldog Movers. The whole process of getting a quote, scheduling a moving date, and actual moving was very professional. They were available for us to move on a weekend. They were meticulous and careful about the types of items we were moving and they wrapped everything carefully. They were careful with our fragile items. After moving they made sure the right furniture and boxes were in the right room and they asked us to make sure it was in the right place. The movers were friendly and…
Update: Move 2 was over 50 miles and similar house sizes. The crew has expanded. Jonathon, Gerson, and Carlos kept the same excellent estimate and performance standards. I'm not sure if they are team 2 or the new team 1. I LOVE accurate estimates and careful transports! They WORKED the whole time. ------------------------------- The move was from a 4br to a 4br about 40 miles apart in NOVA. Property at origin had steep 1000ft driveway with narrow access. Both locations had challenging stairs. Accurate: The team came within 7% of their estimate. The front office conducted a…
I have used Bulldog Movers three times in the past year for moves of varying size and complexity ranging from: a multiple room basement apartment packing and loading job into a POD storage container, unloading said POD at its eventual destination in an apartment building, and finally transporting a remaining few odds and ends items to 2 different destinations (and disposing of the leftovers at the dump). Regardless of what was involved, Mike and his team handled everything with an efficiency and professionalism that was a huge relief during an inevitably stressful and…
These guys are FANTASTIC!!! They were so professional, quick, and did an amazing job! My boyfriend and I are new to the area and new to hiring movers (just finished school), so this was a new experience for us. We had a scare in which the service elevator of our new building might be out and Serena in the front office was very comforting and honest about what that means for cost. (Luckily, it was working on move in day.) I could not recommend them more! They are awesome and affordable!!!
We had an absolutely awesome experience working with Bulldog Movers this past week! They were recommended to us by a close friend and they helped us move from our condo to our new home! Mike, Carlton and Carlos are great guys and they were very professional, efficient and friendly! Serena was also a dream to work with at the office and accommodated ALL of our last minute additions! We highly recommend them and would definitely use them again for future moving needs!
I have to say that they were everything I thought moving with the professional team would be. Michael and Carlos were all about business and helped me finish a very stressful process very quickly. Everything from my first contact with Serena to them putting down the last box was extremely efficient and what I thought moving should be. I've already started recommending them to others
No doubt that moving is a stressful endeavor. Just finding movers can be stressful. Fortunately, I found Bulldog Movers! And also very fortunately, the crew assigned to me, Carlos and Jonathon were absolutely outstanding! These gentleman kicked butt! They conducted themselves in a very professional and respectful manner.There’s no doubt if/when the time comes that I will go with Bulldog Movers again. I highly recommend them. If you have a move in your near future, you will not go wrong with this company! From the beginning with Serena’s estimate to the end of the move, it…
From the moment I contacted this company I was impressed with them. I called around for estimates and decided to go with this company because my initial contact with Serena was excellent. She answered all of my questions, explained all of the companies policies regarding the move, was pleasant and patient. I received follow-up emails until the day of the move and received a call from the movers who were assigned to move us letting us know that they were on their way. From the moment Jonathon and Luca arrived they started working. They went from room to room to evaluate the…
We had a great, stress-free experience with Bulldog Movers! We were doing a local 2BR move. Serena from the office was helpful in answering our questions and booking us the right services. Danny, Carlos, and Oscar were friendly and took care when wrapping and moving our belongings. They asked questions and carried everything to the room we wanted. We got several quotes and Bulldog's was very competitive on rate. Even though we had an unexpected delay due to an occupied loading dock at our apartment, they still finished before the estimated time. We'll be using them again…
We used them for packing only and they were excellent from fist contact all the way through. Serena in the office is super responsive and accomodating and they were able to schedule the packing with 2 days notice. And the packing itself went flawlessly. As for price, I didn’t have time to get another quote, but they were very flexible only charging for the time spent working and the materials actually used. Be sure to check the distance from their base to your location. We were a bit far, but they only charged for one hour. Recommend them 100%
Moving is one of the most stressful, time-consuming ordeals a person can go through. Bulldog Movers, however, made a difficult process undeniably seamless! Through every step, from booking the initial appointment to coordinating with the movers on the big day, Bulldog Movers did everything with the utmost care and professionalism! We had items marked for removal, storage, and carryovers to our new home. The movers expertly categorized our items, moved quickly and effectively, and frequently checked to ensure everything was accurate. Not a single box or bag was mishandled.…
I spent a lot of time deciding on which moving company I was going to use from all the different options in the area. I went with Bulldog Movers because of their 5-star rating and I’m so glad I did! I was very stressed out and had underestimated how many boxes I needed but Bulldog Movers put my unpacked items in some of their own boxes. I had Carlos and Andy, and both of them were friendly and calm which made me feel less anxious and above all, they were super efficient! We finished in 2 hours and since my original estimate was for 4 hours I paid less than I expected which…
I moved into my new place yesterday and had the pleasure of meeting Carlos and Jonathan. They were absolutely amazing, from the time we met to the time they left they handled me and my items with care and professionalism. They kept me informed throughout the process and were extremely trustworthy and personable, especially when I had to run out of the house to handle something leaving them alone and when I ended up having more items than originally planned for the move. I am extremely happy with the results and will definitely be using and recommending them to friends and…
