Fort Washington is the peninsula community along Indian Head Highway south of the Beltway, where the lots get bigger and the houses get larger the further you go toward the river. About 24,300 people live here in Prince George’s County in 1970s to 1990s colonials on half-acre and larger lots, with the old fort, the marina and Tantallon as the local landmarks. Upper Marlboro is the county seat.
Local moving rates in Fort Washington
Our local moving rate is $185 per hour with a four-hour minimum. That covers the truck, the crew, protective wrap, dollies and straps, and the drive between your two addresses. Flat-rate quotes are available for long-distance moves and single-item jobs.
The four-hour minimum is not a sales tactic. It is close to what a real move takes once you count the walk from the truck to the door, the wrap-and-pad time at the front end, and the reassembly at the other end. What moves the number up or down is access — stairs, parking distance, elevator waits — far more than square footage. Send us both addresses and we will give you a real figure.

What we plan for in Fort Washington
Indian Head Highway (MD-210) and Oxon Hill Road
MD-210 is the only real road in and out, a divided highway that backs up northbound in the morning and southbound in the evening. Oxon Hill Road, Livingston Road and Old Fort Road carry the local traffic. We plan the loaded leg to avoid the Indian Head Highway peaks.
Large colonials with basements and garages
The houses here are two-storey colonials with full basements, two-car garages and often a deck or a sunroom. That is three levels of furniture and a garage of things that were not on the list. An honest walkthrough before the quote keeps the estimate from doubling.
Long driveways toward the water
Near the fort, the marina and Tantallon the lots are large, the driveways are long and some are wooded or sloped. A full-size truck fits most; for the tight ones we look first and bring the right vehicle.
Downsizing off the peninsula
A lot of Fort Washington moves are families leaving a big house they have owned for decades. Those are sorting jobs as much as lifting jobs, sometimes over two days, and we will tell you which it is.
