By far the best moving experience I’ve ever had!! This was a large home/beast of a move. They brought great energy and personality, knew when I was getting overwhelmed with the owners not moving belongings out and just made it happen. The men were attentive to where they removed and packed items from the previous…
Chesapeake Moving did the job beyond expectations. From Josh who coordinated the entire thing in less than 24 hours to Sly, Antron, Jonathan and Justin who even came ahead of time to do a walk through and make sure everything fit. They did what was an almost impossible task of moving an oversized couch around tight corners of a town house through mutliple flights of stairs. Hands down recommend to anyone looking for movers and will be using them for any future moving needs.
Response from the owner · 19 hours ago
We love a good moving-day success story, especially when an oversized couch is involved! Thanks for recognizing Josh's quick coordination and the crew's extra effort to check everything beforehand. It's great to know the team came through when you needed them. Looking forward to helping you again!

Chesapeake provided us with enormous help with an overwhelming move from 27 years in a three-story rowhouse to our new condo with half the square footage. They did a complete walkthrough at the start to get the lay of the land, then set about their business like a well-oiled machine. They were careful and super conscientious with all of our furniture, antique and IKEA alike.
Ramiro, Manuel, Darren, Jonathan S, Pitt, & their motivational cheerleader Sylvester were a great crew and made every effort to be thorough and thoughtful. Would absolutely hire them again, though I’m in no hurry to move again anytime soon!

I highly recommend Chesapeake Moving! I had a moving company flake a week or so before a move, contacted several movers in the area and landed with them. Josh was professional from beginning to end, explained the process that would happen the day of the move and provided transparent, predictable pricing. The crew that showed up was on time, also professional and handled all of my items with care. I hope to never move again, but if I do, Chesapeake is my only call.
