Shaw Moving Company

Shaw is where old DC and new DC share a block. Around 20001 you’ll find a gut-rehabbed Victorian rowhouse next to a brand-new condo building, and the U Street corridor stays lively day and night. That mix means our crew might be carrying down a restored original staircase one morning and reserving a freight elevator the next. We plan each Shaw job to the specific address instead of assuming.

The rehabbed rowhouses look move-ready until you hit the staircase, which builders often kept narrow and steep to preserve the floor plan. We bring the stair gear and break down bulky pieces so a sleeper sofa or a king mattress actually clears the turn. The new condo buildings flip it to logistics: an elevator reservation, a COI for the manager, and a loading zone on a corridor where curb space is gone by 10am.

Curb Space and Nightlife on the U Street Corridor

Loading near U Street is a timing game. Restaurants, bars, and foot traffic fill the curbs and sidewalks, so we start early, post a no-parking permit on residential side streets where it applies, and keep the carry path tight so we are not blocking a busy sidewalk through the lunch rush.

A one-bedroom condo in Shaw typically runs our $740–$1,100 band; a three-bedroom rowhouse lands at $2,040–$3,000 with stairs. The price is flat and in writing before move day, the $160 deposit comes off the total, and our crew shows up early. Book at (888) 711-4778.
