Potomac is large houses on large lots along River Road and Falls Road, and the driveway is the first thing we ask about. About 47,000 people live in this Montgomery County community between the Beltway and the C&O Canal, in colonials, estates and gated enclaves that were built with a car in mind and not a moving truck. The county seat is Rockville, north on Falls Road.
Local moving rates in Potomac
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 Potomac

- One-piece pickups and deliveries, including marketplace finds
- Downsizing help for a move into a smaller place

- Junk removal and whole-house cleanouts
- Turnover work for landlords: removing what the last tenant left and setting up the next
What we plan for in Potomac
River Road (MD-190) and Falls Road (MD-189)
River Road and Falls Road are the two arteries, meeting at Potomac Village. Both are two lanes for long stretches with no shoulder, slow at the peaks and slower when the private schools let out. The I-495 exit at River Road is the usual way in for a long-distance truck.
Long, curved and gated driveways
A driveway that curves through trees to a house set well back from the road is common here, and so is a gate with a keypad. A 26-foot truck needs a place to turn and a gate that opens wide enough. We ask for a photo or come and look; it is worth it to avoid a shuttle nobody planned for.
Multiple floors and finished basements
Potomac houses typically have three living levels, a finished basement and a garage full of what did not fit anywhere else. Large moves here run past a single day, and we will tell you that up front rather than have the crew still loading at nine at night.
Art, pianos and the pieces that need extra hands
Grand pianos, marble tables, oversized glass and framed art come with the territory. We wrap them, crate what needs crating and send the crew size the pieces require. If there is a piano, say so at booking and it gets its own line in the plan.
