Really friendly guys! They help my sister move in and and ended up having a bit of conversation with my family. It seem like they were swift, timely and helpful. Surely was a good value ! read more

I recently got married and was moving from my condo into my husband's house (our home). Less than a week before the scheduled move, my husband found out that he had to work on the day I was moving! As this was unavoidable, I got on the hunt for a reputable, highly recommended moving company. And I was super duper happy to find A Few Good College Men. Their communication was great, the charges were clearly laid out, they arrived on time, and most importantly took the utmost care with my belongs and furniture. Clearly they have been in the business for a while, because the truck was loaded so intricately and with a lot of care. We had two stops - the first to drop off stuff to the house and the next to the storage unit. With both stops - I was really impressed with the professionalism. All in all, my husband and I both agree that they were excellent value for money; and I really felt peace of mind throughout the moving process! And that's saying a lot!! 10/10 would recommend and I will DEFINITELY be a repeat customer future moves!! read more

There are not enough good words in the English or any other language to express how much love working with AFGCM. I've used them for three moves and two junk hauls and literally every single interaction is better than the last! For my most recent move, they sent an additional mover for no extra cost, and they were the kindest, most efficient movers I've ever worked with. Again! I had quite a lot of heavy stuff and three floors to navigate - and they were so fast and so so kind and fun and funny. Not a single item was damaged or broken, and I have a lot of stuff. They wouldn't let me lift a finger, despite me trying. A great experience. The pricing is also so fair. Love working with them. read more

Absolutely great service. I had a fast turnaround, small job that was on a timeline I didn't choose. Dany responded to my quote request inside 15 minutes (**NOT like some competitors on here who promise better**) with a super-positive, can-do attitude and approach that left me feeling really good. When it was time to do the move a couple days later, he reached out to get in touch and re-confirm the timeline. His staff showed up early with all needed tools. The job was finished sooner than estimated and the price reduced accordingly. This was a great value for polite, prompt, friendly service that I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Six stars. read more

I needed a commercial grade treadmill carried 3 floors down. Dany responded quickly and had his guys out the following day as requested. They man-handled the 450lb treadmill with ease and left no trace...no dinged walls, no scuffed floors. They guys were pleasant and Dany was exceptionally professional and polite. Strongly recommend. read more

These nice gentlemen helped me move a year ago and I've been meaning to leave a review. They wrap up your valuables and bed and ensure that nothing gets damaged. Although I had paid for parking for the van, I had some issues with people parking in the spot, but the movers were able to improvise and get me moved out within an hour and 30 mins. The pricing is cheaper than other services in the area. Highly recommend these movers! read more

Got the job done in a quick and professional manner. They did a great job and were easy to communicate with.

EDIT 4/7: I just want to say that the company has been communicating with me to get my damaged items fixed, and they have been very courteous and apologetic so far. I'll update my review on the progress and quality of these repairs. EDIT 4/13: The company has reimbursed me for the damaged mattress and missing bag, so that's a good start. EDIT 4/24: The people came to look at the chair, and there is more damage then previously thought. The circular wooden base is also damaged. Just like with the mattress, the movers placed the damaged side towards the wall, apparently so it wouldn't be noticed. This is likely going to make it impossible to repair completely. EDIT 5/3: I just got the chair back, and it appears to be a top-notch repair job. I'll give a shout out to harryjohnsonfurniture.com who did the repair. The arms feel sturdy and the damage to the wood on the base is virtually invisible. The only thing left at this point (that I'm worried about) is the mounting brackets for the desk. These are proving to be difficult to find. EDIT 5/4: The company just reimbursed me for the desk, so at least they made good on the damaged items. I'll add another star to the review (two stars). I'm tempted to make it three stars since the owner and his representatives were always polite and helpful getting my stuff fixed or replaced, but at the end of the day this shouldn't have happened in the first place (at least not to this extent). Accidents always will happen when stuff is being moved, so this is nothing new or unique to this company. But if it does happen, the guys doing the moving really need to face the music and let the client know, instead of not saying anything and letting the client discover it later. And losing track of items during the move and leaving them behind is never acceptable; they need to come up with a system to prevent that from happening. --- The movers were friendly enough while they were working (at least two out of three were), but they showed a complete disregard for my possessions, and damaged SIX different items. Two items (my mattress and an expensive Stressless Consul chair) were damaged beyond economic repair. The chair is the most infuriating, because there is NO WAY they didn't immediately know that they damaged it, but they chose to hide it. Leading up to the move, I was told by the owner that despite the company's name, these were "professional movers" with "up to fifteen years experience," but the results speak for themselves. See the pictures. Not only that, but after they had unloaded everything I discovered at least two containers were missing. The next day, I backtracked to where I moved from and discovered that they had simply left them on the ground where they were loading the truck. One container was found (although it had been rained on all night), and the other is still missing. The found item was in plain view right where they were loading, so I guess they just decided to leave it there? I could have just gone to Home Depot and hired some guys off the street for far less money, and they would have been far more conscientious than this. I wish I *had* done that. read more

I've hired them twice and both times they were great. It is a relief not having to worry about your movers after hearing so many horror stories. For a 1 bedroom move with about 20 boxes it cost $450 and the three men took about 2 hours to do it. read more

I've used this service a few times for moves around the DMV area, most recently for a move from Northern VA back to MD, and every time they do exactly what I need: move all my crap from one location to another. Of course, they don't pack it for you (or maybe they do, but I haven't needed that service) but they can carry items big and small and they know how to disassemble and re-assemble bigger items without damage. Their staff is very responsive over the phone. And they do all this for a much lower cost than most other moving companies in the area. Even recommended them to a colleague planning to move into DC itself. Whether you need to move 1 item or 1000 items around the DMV area, highly recommend you give AFGCM a shot. read more

I love this company! The most hard working, smart, honest, and overall nice guys ever. I needed some help moving furniture around my house. I needed a sofa moved upstairs and things moved moved around in the garage. They are always early or on time and I appreciate that. They tried to get my sofa moved upstairs, but it just would not go. So, they offered to donate it to Goodwill for me. How wonderful is that? I followed them over in my car and they dropped off the sofa. They took away some old lawn furniture for me. They do not stop until you tell them that you are done. I have used them three times and they have the same super star qualities each time. I recommend them highly and would give them 10 stars if I could. read more

A Few Good College Men - The moving truck and helpers. - Movers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Dany the owner responded immediately to my request for movers 1-2 months ago. I had never booked a service through Yelp before, and I was surprised how easy it was. Move day comes around, Devon and Terence show up right on schedule. These two WONDERFUL people went straight to work and wrapped literally everything with such care and detail. They were polite, professional, and very charismatic/funny!! Devin/Devon (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) Was extremely detail oriented, he saved every bookshelf peg and screw he found along the move and gave them all to me at the end of everything. I really appreciate that! Terence also worked his butt off and was very gentle with all my furniture to make sure nothing got scratched while bringing them into my new home. He's a real one !!! Overall, I highly recommend these movers to any one in the local area. Even though my move was 10-15 minutes away, they took a HUGE weight off my shoulders of me having to do the heavy lifting myself. (Pun intended haha.) This company is very responsive, friendly, affordable, and professional. Thank you so much guys! read more

This is the third move I've done with Marcus and his team and I've been impressed each time. They are a small business but they are very professional and thorough. I felt that they were very careful with my belongings and they wanted to make sure I was happy. I highly recommend them. I hope I never have to move again but if I do, I'll be calling them. read more

We have used them twice and both times things went well. They were on time and were careful with my daughters belongings

Great young men! When I was first shopping for services Dany was very attentive. We communicated via email and Yelp messages. I was requesting both packing and moving services and his team did and exceptional job. As soon as they came in they got right to it, soon after I showed them around the house. Their packing was detailed and secure. Their loading and team work was organized and precise. The unloading went smooth quick and everything was put in place. I was very pleased with their service and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Good job guys! read more

A Few Good College Men - Organized packing and loading - Movers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Fantastic experience for my load-only move. In advance: Dany was super helpful coordinating times and called the morning-of to check on our readiness and materials/equipment, offer advice, and offer an additional mover for a very slight additional fee - I took the offer but he wasn't pushy at all about it. The Move: movers were timely, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient -- everything you'd want. They helped me deal with another moving truck that overstayed their reservation, helped properly dock our (separately rented) Uhaul, and generally ran a very professional operation between packing, hauling, and loading. The Fee: didn't seem wildly high or low based on research, but I appreciated that there weren't any extra fees or pushy upselling -- we paid exactly what was agreed on in advance, using our preferred method of payment. read more

Everything went great for my move. The guys showed up promptly on time and moved very quickly. They were careful not to damage any of the walls in both houses. My only slight tiff is that they sent two trucks and charged me extra when i was moving a 1 bedroom + storage unit and barely filled half of one truck. Other than that i highly recommend these guys. read more

Dany, the business owner, with Walter and Ariel, his movers who did the work - were extraordinary!! I had requested last minute moving service. The contract was arranged within an hour, work began 4 hours later - "after hours" with no addt'l charge. Walter and Ariel loaded/unloaded in the rain, with enthusiasm. The work they completed was above and beyond what I could have imagined. They helped sort box arrangements to ease our home setup. They also generously offered to help unload the plants I transported in my car... I could go on and on. Hire them in complete confidence of their excellence!!! :) read more

Dany was so professional, easy going and did a great job with providing immediate scheduling for my move this week. I called him on Monday because my Tuesday plans to move, fell apart. Although I had booked online with another company, (that I used twice before) they bailed out with short notice. Dany was willing to schedule my move for the same day, the next day or any day that I needed. We scheduled it for Wednesday. Three guys showed up (Antoine, Keston and Anthony) on time. They were pleasant, professional and went right to work. I was moving out of a 1 BR to a studio apt and had sold my bedroom furniture. However, I still had some other furniture, some very big and a million boxes. They even went with me to the other side of my apartment building to my storage unit to get the remaining items that I had not moved out. I was extra grateful for that. I can't say enough about all of these guys. I am so very happy and plan to use them again in the future. Thanks to all of the previous reviewer because that is why I chose to contact and use this company! I previously accidentally posted a review under a San Francisco person with the same name as me. read more

Very happy that we picked FGCM! Great price and great service. We needed to get rid of a sofabed from our condo. They showed on time and did a neat service. The staff was kind and careful. Very good experience! read more

I hired this company when I relocated from Washington, DC to Charles County, Maryland on April 8, 2024. The service that I received was excellent. That is the onlty word that I can use because it is the only word that is 100% accurate. From the time that I made contact with them, they were very polite and very efficient. They sent an agreement to me for me to sign, and they honored every word of the agreement. Many other movers made contact with me before and after I relocated, but I just told them that I had already relocated and that my movers were truly excellent and honest. I have to add that the three characteristics that I consider are honesty, integrity, and stability, and A Few Goodl College Men proved that they had all three and did what had to be done with true excellence. I heartily recommend them! read more

On time, professional, friendly, flexible, willing to meet my needs, good price. Moved all my stuff quickly, no frills.

Fantastic experience. Tony, Brian, and Ariel arrived early and did an amazing job. Very professional company and nice guys that made moving as good as it can be. And the price was the best I found in the area. I'm recommending them to everyone I know and won't think twice about who to use if I need to move again. read more

After I posted a very negative review about our experience with A Few Good College Men, I was contacted by the company. They were very apologetic and concerned. They reimbursed me for two hours of the move since it took so much longer than estimated. I appreciate their effort to "make it right." We chose this company based on the many excellent reviews and I'm sorry that our experience did not live up to expectations. read more

These guys were awesome! Friendly, efficient, professional, & strong! They were in time & thorough. Did not waste a minute & made sure to get everything done, even when faced with a challenge. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat ! read more

A Few Good College Men - Some Good College Men Movers - Movers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

This is one of the better, and more honest, local delivery options for Northern Virginia. I'm only knocking off a star because the crew was late and I think they could have operated a little more efficiently. Other than that, I thought they were really friendly and they successfully moved all of our stuff without any breaks or anything being damaged. read more

I chose A Few Good College Men after seeing all the good reviews and it was definitely worth it! It was a short distance move but we have a lot of heavy stuff. Marcus came by our apartment to give us a more accurate estimate and was very responsive leading up to the move. On the day of the move, the team actually came early and were super efficient. We had most of our stuff in boxes already, but they padded and wrapped our furniture to make sure nothing would be damaged. Overall a great price for the quality of the work, and I'll definitely be using them again if we have another move! read more

We had the pleasure of using this company for a local move from Washington DC to Old Town Alexandria. The bid process was easy to navigate and the price at the end of the job matched exactly what was quoted. The communication was great, the guys showed up on time and worked diligently. They were super friendly and efficient. I cannot recommend this company highly enough! Thank you for making our move so easy! read more

This food is nasty and the seafood smelled and tasted fishy! I spit it back onto the plate and I went to tell the cashier it was horrible and she was like you just got here but didn't even give my money back... read more

My first huge moving day was awesome because of the AFGCM crew! Aaron, Johnny, and Reggi were fantastic at packing my delicate items, packing efficiently, and fitting everything into the U-Haul for a local move. They knew exactly how much to pack/move efficiently at a time going up the one elevator in my new building. Dany, the owner, also showed up just to check on things and made sure things went smoothly throughout the day which I deeply appreciated. He also took the time to drive by the new building before the move just to scope out the parking situation (I got a moving permit which I'd highly recommend to others moving in the DC metro area). I also didn't know how many packing materials I'd need but they brought the right amount which helped a lot. As shown in the picture, they carefully wrapped my larger items so well, so I had nothing to worry about. Their dedication also goes beyond moving/packing: during the move, Aaron helped a man who fell off a wheelchair across the street back up; Reggi and Johnny gave me great life wisdom during the elevator rides; Dany even handwrote a thank-you note after the move was completed. They were awesome to have around the whole move and even made it enjoyable. Nothing broke during the move. I definitely chose the right guys for my first big move and would totally choose them again. If you are looking for the best movers in the DMV, choose AFGCM for sure! read more

Fast and cool! Definitely worth the value and got everything we needed done in a timely manner!!

I highly recommend this business. At the very last minute yesterday, they immediately responded and had two movers show up to help us complete the move of furniture up three flights of stairs! Very responsive and professional. I will use them again! Thank you! read more

THIS COMPANY - LOW LIFE SCUM. THE OWNER DISAPPEARED - WOULD NOT TAKE PHONE CALLS. The owner was very friendly until the move was confirmed and then he was impossible to reach after that. I don't know about all these good reviews because they are basically con artists and theives. THE 2 MOVERS SHOWED UP STONED OUT OF THEIR MINDS! I had no choice but to use them because I had to be out that day! The just kept stopping and staring off into space and would stay in that mode until I woke them out of their stoned stupor and got them going again. Reeked of weed. Their whole truck reeked of weed. I had to follow them around and remind them of what they were doing and explain to them how to get things out of the truck and through the door etc. Meanwhile, I was trying to move small items myself, taking the elevator, going to my unit, unloading, and coming back. When I would get back, they hade done nothing, just staring into space. There was a lot more to do, of course, a LOT MORE, because the movers were practically useless. I just told them to leave and I would do the rest myself. Because they took up all the budgeted time, I still paid the full price. I am a petite 5' tall female and I needed to do so much of the moving that these lazy nasty disgusting stoned guys would not do. Needless to say I was moving by myself all night. THIS COMPANY - LOW LIFE SCUM. THE OWNER DISAPPEARED - WOULD NOT TAKE PHONE CALLS. read more

They arrived on time and moved my mom from her one bedroom apartment. It was well organized and smooth from start to finish. I am thankful it went so well. read more

Loved working with these folx, they are honest, efficient and kind. I live on the top floor, w/ approximately 4 flights of stairs!! Mind you, I take these stairs often and I huff and puff. The team was phenomenal, they were communicative and sweet, they try to optimize schedules and times. They were able to fit me in easily for Baltimore bc they were already coming to town. I am appreciative of the them all and would recommend them as movers. They got a crate and barrel love seat sleeper to my apartment! What champs! read more

This company is wonderful. There was a miscommunication on the date/time, but it all worked out. The guy removed all our furniture boxes swiftly and with care. Good price too. I will use their service again in the future. Thank you. read more

The team was nice from management to the actual movers, but they were just too slow. The manager convinced me to add a fourth person because it would be more efficient, but it felt like I only had 3 people. So in the end, I definitely think I paid too much for the service I got. read more

Dany and his team helped make my move a lot less stressful. Setting up services was very easy and quick. Pricing was very reasonable and at the end of the move we even fell under the projected budget, which was amazing! Dany was very flexible and accommodating with some unexpected changes due to the leasing office not being prepared for my move. The movers were excellent! They were kind, considerate, and respectful. They helped me disassemble and move out of my old place in less than 1 1/2 hours. They even gave great advice on setting up my furniture in my new home! I would definitely recommend their services. It's always great to find a wonderful Black Owned Business that is high-quality, affordable, and efficient. Very happy customer! read more

Great and timely service. Prices was reasonable and within original estimates. I appreciated that there were no surprises. Thank you Danny, Mark and Jeamar. read more

Immaculate moving experience. I requested quotes from 20+ movers on Yelp, and A Few Good College Men had the most reasonable one by far. No minimum hours required and no travel fees. Just one price upfront. Dany (the owner) was super responsive even on a weekend. The two moving guys came on time and worked super efficiently, getting all the big furniture from our studio apartment moved within 1.5 hours. I would definitely trust this company again with any future move! read more
