Movers in Olney, MD

Olney is the town at the top of Georgia Avenue where the suburbs start to run out, and most of what we move there is a family house on a cul-de-sac. About 36,000 people live in this Montgomery County community around the crossroads of Georgia Avenue and MD-108, with a hospital, a theatre and a cluster of shopping centres at the middle. Rockville is the county seat, west on Norbeck Road.
Local moving rates in Olney
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 handle in Olney
Olney moves are house moves: colonials and split-levels in HOA subdivisions, with a fair number of downsizing jobs from the original owners.
- Local household moves, from a studio to a five-bedroom
- Downsizing and senior moves, paced to the household
- Load-only or unload-only crews if you have your own truck or pod
- Cleanouts, haul-away and junk removal after the move or instead of one
- Single-item delivery — a sofa, a safe, a piano, a treadmill
- Unit turnovers and furniture swaps for property managers and landlords
- Interstate moves quoted as a single flat figure
What we plan for in Olney
Georgia Avenue (MD-97) and MD-108
The intersection of Georgia Avenue and Olney-Sandy Spring Road is the centre of town and the slowest spot in it. Georgia Avenue south to the ICC and the Glenmont Metro is a commuter route that backs up in the evening. The ICC (MD-200) exit at Georgia Avenue gives us a fast way across to I-95 or I-270 with a loaded truck.
Cul-de-sacs and HOA subdivisions
The subdivisions off Georgia Avenue and Prince Philip Drive are cul-de-sacs with driveways and two-car garages. A full-size truck fits most driveways and can turn in most circles, but not all. If the street is a tight loop, a photo saves everyone time.
MedStar Montgomery Medical Center
The hospital campus on Prince Philip Drive brings medical staff into the townhouse and apartment pockets nearby and sends them out again when they rotate. Those are compact, quick moves that we keep within the minimum where the access allows.
Downsizing from the original house
A lot of Olney houses were bought new in the 1970s and 1980s and are only now changing hands. The move to a smaller place comes with a sort, a donation run and a cleanout, and we quote the whole thing rather than just the truck.
