We love these guys! This is our second time using JSIII Moving (used them 10 years ago) and when we had to move things from our house to storage in preparation for the sale, I knew who to call. Brian, Q and Anthony were great. They were prompt, professional and careful. They were so polite and helpful. If you have a move, don't hestiate to contact JSIII Moving. read more

Used this moving company back in 2022 and it was my best decision that year lol They were professional, punctual, SPEEDY, and well equipped. They moved my 1bed loft condo on the second floor into a two bedroom apartment on the second floor in 1.5 hour! Provided the truck and placed everything where I wanted it all for an affordable rate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

They made quick work out of our two bed apartment. The three men worked so well as a team and perfectly organized the truck to fit everything in a single trip. They also worked through the rain. This is a hard working company that will get the job done quickly. Their truck and moving fees where also very competitive. My only complaint is that they got my mattress cover dirty but I probably should've mentioned that it was a permanent cover that needed to be kept clean. Plus the rainy conditions probably didn't help. Overall I would use them again. read more

This company is absolutely amazing. Moving day can be extremely stressful, especially when you are moving your great grandmother's beloved piano, but not with these guys! They are wonderful! They moved everything in good time and with expertise. They are just plain nice and we were very impressed with how quickly and efficiently they made the move. If anyone in my circle of family or friends needed a mover I would recommend this company across the board. We moved from Woodbridge Va to Frederick Maryland and had a substantial amount of stuff to be moved~ their estimate was extremely fair and a great value considering there was a piano involved. This is a great company and we wish them all the luck in th world and continued success! read more

See all

These are the best guys ever! My Mom and I have used James and his crew many times and each time they are phenomenal!! I can't say enough good stuff about these young men. Always prompt, always professional and such hard workers. You cant go wrong with them. I would 100% recommend. read more

I found these guys on Google and decided to go with them after getting prices from other companies. They were the most affordable and had great reviews. I waa happy with my experience from the first call to the last piece of furniture moved. They were very professional and courteous. They handled my belongings with care. Up to my actual moving date they responded to all of my emails quickly. These guys are honest and hard working. I highly recommend them! read more

JSIII Moving Services - Movers Near Me

I have used JSIII for two moves and both times have been great experiences. Best value in the area for a hard working crew.

Great job with our move. Company did a good job with quote, stuck to quote and were cautious with our belongings. No hidden fees and great service read more

Where to begin? First off, there is no written contract prior to moving--first major red flag. Second, the movers showed up early and didn't notify me or called; I had to call the owner in order to figure out where they were when I did expect them. The foreman seemed like he knew what he was doing but the crew he brought was a mixed bag of incompetency and laziness. The total move took much longer than expected, partly because of the lack of proficiency, planning, and coordination. On top of this, they managed to damage a wall--the owner initially wanted me to cover the cost, eventually it was straightened out; they damaged several pieces of furniture during the process. I cannot recommend and do not see how it's possible that people have consistently given this company 5-stars. It's better to pay a reputable moving company that has competent workers and an actual written contract in order or negotiate costs before the move. read more

Used James and his team fir three moves and he did not disappoint. He's kind, honest, and his rates are reasonable. Highly recommend!

These were the best movers we have ever had! Incredibly friendly, personable and willing to move around furniture as needed. They showed up on time and we had absolutely no issues. They were incredibly efficient and had all of our furniture within a 2 bedroom apartment taken apart, wrapped, and in the truck in less than 2 hours. Pricing was fantastic! We just found out they also move out of state so we will be using them in 2 years when we move again! Thanks so much! read more

I was very impressed by these guys (3 man crew). They were reasonably priced, fast, and careful with my property. I don't think you can ask for more from a local moving company or any moving company for that matter. I liked that when I called to ask questions regarding quotes, estimated times and dates, I wasn't rushed off the phone or pressured to use their services. As promised I was given a written estimate prior to me signing a contract so I wouldn't have any surprises come moving day, and I was extremely pleased that the estimate was the exact cost of my move. James and his crew arrived 10 minutes prior to our scheduled move time of 8:30 a.m, which was a plus for me because I was under extreme time constraints that Saturday, and was ready to get the my busy day going. The crew was very professional and didn't waste any time carefully moving my items from my second story condo onto the moving truck. After 3 weeks I have finally unpacked all of my boxes and unwrapped some large fragile items and not one item was damaged or scratched. I definitely will be using James Snowden Moving Services for my next move. He even mentioned to me he provides short notice moves, so when I pick my new furniture out to give him a call if I need help. read more

I was pleased with the level of service. My only negative was that an item was broken. It seem to be working fine.

The most exceptional part of my move! We got 18 inches of snow and sleet two days before we moved. We then got another two inches the morning of our move. James Snowden and his crew were nothing but fast and professional! They arrived with blankets and supplies and immediately went to work. They were quick to adapt when things didn't go as planned, such as other moving trucks getting in the way of the loading dock. Extremely reasonably priced too. They like to say "you get what you pay for" but I really think if you choose John Snowden and his team, you get more value for your dollar. (Read below if you'd like to laugh) Furniture delivery - canceled without my knowledge. Service elevator - booked solid before my move in date was even decided. Cleaning crew - canceled the day of due to the weather. James Snowden - perfect. read more

I'm so happy I decided to look up Yelp reviews, instead of just going with a Google search. My initial search through Google and Craigslist gave me the extremes of high price movers to low-end almost too cheap to believe or trust prices. Checking Yelp, I found Mr. Snowden's company. With such great reviews, I gave him a call. He is friendly, polite, and VERY reasonable. Through phone and email, we set up the date of service (which was on a Sunday, as well). They showed up ON TIME and were very friendly and courteous. James and his 2 movers, Bobby & Sean (or is it Shawn? Shaun?) went to work right away. James left after 30 mins, but I only had a 1 bdrm apt to move. Bobby and Sean were more than able to take care of the task. They used blankets and plastic wrap on my furniture. I never once saw or heard items/boxes being dropped or brutalized. They were efficient and timely. I never saw them stop for breaks or on their phones. They moved me from Germantown, MD to Baltimore, MD. It was just shy of 4 hrs. I highly recommend this company and would definitely hire again! Thank you James, Bobby, and Sean!! read more

I work with a lot of moving companies since I work in real estate and am constantly helping my clients find movers. My normal movers were busy so I reached out for quote on yelp. These guys were the first to respond and I'm so glad they did. Showed up on time, SUPER friendly, they were incredibly careful with our stuff and were efficient and quick. They were done moving our stuff in 4 hours. We have a ton of vintage furniture and they took incredible care of it. Everything was wrapped up tight because (of course) if was raining. Best moving experience ever. My husband and I have been renovating a house for the past month and I have to say, this was the least stressful moment of the past 30 days.... Moving sucks and these guys make it so easy. read more

We all know what moving day is like, but James and team made it my easiest and quickest one yet. They treated my belongings with such care, I couldn't have done better myself. Prompt, timely, and affordable. Thanks guys, it was a pleasure. You are hands down my go-to movers. read more

JSIII Moving Services - Works Well Together - Movers Near Me

We needed a moving company on short notice for New Years eve. We were referred to James Snowden by a friend that had used his company a few months earlier and was happy with the move. He was very quick in responding to our emails and was able to estimate the time needed for the move from the email with a list of our stuff. He estimated from 4-5 hours with a truck included, but it only took him and his crew 4 hours. James and his crew were very friendly and most importantly, careful with our furniture and the walls. My wife was very concerned about damage to walls from previous furniture delivery men. James and his crew were very careful and avoided damaging anything. They brought all the furniture pads and covers and did not charge us anything extra. They were very courteous and removed their shoes prior to moving the furniture into the new place. We are Asian after all. They also made a stop at our storage unit to drop off a table with no problems. The only thing I thought was weird was that because of the short notice for the move, we had to pay in cash. It was lucky that we had enough cash on hand for the move. It did take him a few days to email us the invoice after, but I figured that was because it was over the weekend and he was busy with more moves. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good moving company. read more

The movers themselves were great, I think they did a good job getting everything out of my place and into the new spot in a decent amount of time (about 2 hours to move things out and 1 1/2 hours to move things in...I had over 45 boxes plus furniture). There were only a couple of boxes that were placed in the wrong room, but nothing major. It started to rain, and some of my seat cushions were not covered when they brought them in...but it seemed like they tried to hurry up and get inside when they carried them. All in all the three gentlemen that showed up were professional, respectful, and did not waste time from what I saw. The only issue I had was in the communication. I set up the appointment and there was a confirmation. But I felt I had to wait too long to get a contract (a little over 5 days), since it seemed like a form letter. And then a few days before I did not get a confirmation about them showing up....admittedly that was more so for my own piece of mind...as I had told my leasing office I was leaving that day, but not hearing from the company I got a little anxious...so a note from them reconfirming would have been great. They did reconfirm, but that was after I sent a message. But overall I had a good experience with this company, and I'm sure I'd use them again on my next move. read more

James and his team are efficient, friendly, helpful, and professional. They made a stressful day extremely easy by moving our 4BR home into a storage space in 4 hours! The pricing is beyond competitive for the area and they get the job done well. Will recommend them to others and use them again for our next move. read more

Very professional, efficient and hard working. Our move went totally smoothly and without any issues. I would definitely recommend JS3 to anyone looking for a good reliable mover. A bonus was their pricing is extremely reasonable and straightforward which is refreshing in the moving business where most of these companies have lots of hidden fees. Thanks James and crew! read more

An amazing moving company. Just used them for the second time. They are prompt and professional and the rates are just right.

James and his team are great. I highly recommend there services, I have to friends and family and they have also had nothing but great things to say. Professional, reasonable, and very friendly. read more

This company did accept my move at the last minute, so including this as a caveat. The person I spoke with did advise that the mover would remove TV's from the wall, that changed on move day. The movers also showed up with a truck that would be used to moved a studio apartment or a 1BR and not a 3BR condo. Some of the movers did go above and beyond to help me move and were understanding and extremely helpful. My recommendation would be for the owner to provide more support, communication and training for the movers. read more

We chose JSIII because they brought a crew of four instead of three. They did a great job moving us with efficiency, friendliness and cleanliness. It was on time and hassle free. I highly recommend them! read more

Well... I'm sad to say that I once reviewed JSIII movers with a 5 star and now I'm down to a 1. I have used JSIII movers 3 times now and the first 2 were stellar when James (the owner) was a part of the moving crew. But now that his business has grown, as it should, and he has to trust others to do the work, I will never use them again. I moved in October and a few days after my move noticed that an electric heating register was not left behind as indicated and it was not moved to my new house either. This register belonged to my landlord and I had asked the gentlemen to not move it. When I went back to my apartment the next day to finish cleaning, the radiator was not there. Additionally, the gentlemen that moved me had left behind several moving blankets that I wanted to return. I reached out to JSIII immediately to get this resolved and received a call promptly from James. I missed the call but called back immediately. I have left several messages since then with no return call. This weekend I emailed Maria, the woman that helped schedule my move, asking for help. Today (12/10/18) I received a call from James. James is a super nice guy but his response was completely unsatisfying. Long story short, he was happy to come pick up his blankets but said "he's between a rock and a hard place" because his guys are saying they didn't have anything else on the truck. In all honesty, I don't think there was any foul play. I think the register was moved on accident, and was left on the truck on accident. But it's been so long since the move of course no one remembers this! So I had to pay my landlord for the missing register that JSIII did not respond to in a timely manner, but yet they want their blankets back. Mind you.... I'm the one that reached out to tell they they left the blankets and I wanted to return them. Bottom line... I'm out an additional $150 because they made a choice not to respond in a timely manner. James says he didn't get my messages but I have phone records to prove I called. I told James I was keeping the blankets since they lost my property and would never be using them again; told him I was writing this review; and hung up. After 3 moves and never reporting an issue, they can't even offer to cover 50% of my loss? They have insurance... that's what it's used for! While James and his entire crew is kind and , this service was not acceptable (especially for a return customer that has also referred his services). Highly disappointed and no longer a customer. read more

JSIII movers did a local move (less than 5 miles) from one single family to another one. They arrived within the the window and called ahead. They were extremely professional and careful moving my belongings. Additionally their moving estimate was if anything a little higher than what I actually paid. So they are very precise in their estimates. They were very good about disassembling some complicated Ikea furniture and reassembling it at the new house as well. I would definitely recommend them if you need a reliable mover who gives accurate estimates. read more

My parents used JSIII Moving Services a few years ago and couldn't have been happier. When it was time for me and my family to move, I requested a quote from JSIII and two other companies. Not only was the pricing from JSIII lower than the rest, they were also the first to respond and answered all of my questions quickly. The move went great! They were prompt, friendly and took great care of our belongings. Plus, they were fast! Once they finished I immediately asked for a quote to empty a portable storage unit that was being delivered the following day. Once again, the crew who showed up were fantastic and finished quickly! I highly recommend JSIII Moving Services! read more

JSIII Moving Services - Movers Near Me

We only were moving down the street (same ZIP Code), but they were very professional and the service was great. The crew were all very polite and seemed pretty careful with our stuff. I like that they send 4 movers, whereas most places seem to only send 3. We packed up ourselves, but they wrapped the furniture in pads and taped it down. I thought they were especially nice to take a bookcase to the dumpster around the corner for us, even though it was our mistake (we meant to ditch it BEFORE the move!). James knows what he's doing and the move seemed to go better than I would have expected. He even came all the way back when we realized a small piece of a bed frame was missing (left in the moving truck by accident). All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again! read more

I used JSIII Moving Services for the first time this past September, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reasonable moving rate, a conscientious and hard-working crew, and a company that treats your belongings with care. I could not be happier with the quality of their work. The owner of the company, James Snowden, personally scheduled my move. He was polite, thorough, and his pricing is easy to understand. Both Mr. Snowden and Maria (their wonderful office manager!) kept in constant communication with me and made me feel like I was their most important customer. I also appreciated that everything - from signing the moving contract to making payment at the end of the move - was handled electronically. I didn't have to deal with any paper contracts or spend time trying to find where I packed away my checkbook. That was a great relief! On the day of the move, Maria let me know when the truck would arrive. Mr. Snowden, along with his two amazing employees, Malik and DeWayne, arrived right on time and ready to begin work. The three of them worked non-stop until my whole house was safely locked away in their extremely clean and shining truck. The guys were exceptionally careful with my items - wrapping anything fragile in padded blankets and securing loose items with what looked like industrial-strength Saran Wrap (very cool!). Each of the workers was dressed conservatively in JSIII Moving Services uniform shirts, and when they arrived, Mr. Snowden came right over and introduced himself, as well as Malik and DeWayne. After quickly establishing the best route in and out, they went quickly about their business. Mr Snowden kept everything organized and moving the entire time. He even carried extra wardrobe boxes in his truck which allowed me to keep my clothes on hangars instead of folding them in a box or enclosing them in trash bags. Also, the day was very hot, and even after dealing with a bunch of stripped screws holding my nightmare of a bed together, they all remained in good humor - laughing and working well with each other. These guys are truly hard-working professionals, and I salute them! You won't be disappointed with JSIII Moving Services, I promise!! Thanks again, James, DeWayne and Malik read more

I asked 3 moving companies for quotations on a local move (we moved about 5-10 minutes away from the old house :p). JS III had the cheapest rates! They had 5 star reviews on Yelp so I did not have to think twice- I scheduled for Saturday morning. Come Saturday, I waited.. (alas, they might have forgotten me!) I called, and Mr. Snowden answered. I wasn't on the schedule. My confirmation email went to the blackhole in the worldwideweb. He immediately made arrangements, brought an extra guy to help out, and gave me a discount. He was also present during the move. They were all very friendly and professional. They were careful and wrapped all the furniture (this was included in the cost- wrapping materials, etc. They charge by the hour depending on the number of people per customer's preference plus truck fee) They were quick. Moved 6 rooms worth of furniture (including disassembling, loading, unloading, driving to the 2nd location and putting them back together) in about 4 hours. Would have given 4 stars but they surely made up for it. A+ for effort! Will use them again in the future if need be. Highly recommended!:) read more

Best moving service! We had to find a mover within a week because we weren't sure about the moving date. Contacted various movers and James was the only one came to do a free on-site estimate (and it turned out to be almost right on! 6.5 hours vs original estimate of 6 hours...while others quoted 2-3 hours on the phone). He arrived with the crew early in the morning and worked non stop. They carefully wrapped the furnitures and disassemble oversize items professionally. We were very concerned about finding the right mover to do the job. And we are glad that we took the lead of faith and found James! read more

Great company!! I'd been pricing out companies for my move from MD to VA. JSIII was the most reasonable quote. The movers showed up on time, and had my apartment packed up in 1.5 hours. Great job! I've already recommended them to a friend, who used them on her MD to MD move and she had a great experience too! read more

James and his crew are pure professionals. They arrived early and assessed the situation, putting together a game plan for all the major furniture. Then, James and his team worked diligently to wrap, secure and move everything into the truck. His guys were strong, moving big furniture with ease. And they made sure to take care of all the fine details. 5 bolts fell out of a cheap piece of furniture we had without us knowing and when when we reached our new home, James made sure all 5 were accounted for and returned. Above all this what we appreciated most was their positive attitude throughout the entire day. Working hard with a smile on their faces. The cost was very reasonable and he did not try to nickel and dime us like one of the local competitors we called. We would have no hesitation in recommending James and his honest and hardworking team. read more

My move was pretty sudden and I was frantically looking for a moving company that wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg to move at the last minute. My coworker recommended James (not John as stated in a previous review) Snowden Moving Services and said she used them on her last move. I was pretty skeptical about using a company I had never heard of but figured I might as well call and see if they were available. James came to my house that same day for a free estimate. I had a huge pile of junk (to go to the dump) and the rest of a three bedroom house to move into a two bedroom condo (on the 10th floor with a pain in the a$$ elevator to deal with). I was definitely worried about getting the truck through to the back of the condo and getting everything inside but James told me that he would not only get me moved, but he would also take the truck load of junk to the dump for me. James and his crew (two other guys) showed up (15 minutes early) on the morning of the move and quickly got started. They wrapped ALL of my furniture, tv's, anything with glass and anything that could easily be broken. The three man crew had the whole house moved out and into the truck in under an hour. James packed the truck so that the furniture and such that was going to my new place would be the first off and the junk would be left for him to dispose of (I mention this because doing it that way, we only had to make one trip). They had the truck unpacked and the condo loaded with everything in less than 40 minutes and offered to set things up for me (ie position the furniture and set up the bed frame) In any move, things get broken, scratched or damaged is some way (which I was prepared for). This particular move had no such issue. The move was quick and efficient but no broken, cracked, or scratched furniture, tv's or walls. I was very impressed at how well they guys worked together and the experience over all, along with the very reasonable price he charged for the move and junk hauling. I would recommend James and his crew to anyone and will be using them the next time I need to move. read more

James and his team were great from beginning to end. I've moved many times over the last decade and JSIII Moving was the best value possible for the outstanding service and care. James was very responsive through the entire process and I never felt there were hidden costs. If I move again I will call JSIII Moving first. I moved a 2.5 bedroom into a single family house. They did a great job wrapping the furniture and were very willing to address all our concerns for highly sensitive items. If you're dealing with James you'll be in safe hands. read more

BEST movers in the Germantown/ Gaithersburg area hands down!! I moved on Halloween ( yes. Halloween -_-) James responded promptly to my inquiry within the hour and gave me very reasonable rates, the best I had heard in my search. The movers were super professional, friendly, and RIDICULOUSLY fast ( you would not think there's guys get paid by the hour by how fast and efficient they move!! ) Disassembled and reassembled furniture, they moved my 3 story townhouse in under 4 hours! Thank you James and team, you guys were truly a lifesaver! read more

After the frigid temperatures hit on the morning of my move, I decided not to put me and my friends through the process of loading my UHaul if I could find some highly rated movers on Yelp. Thank GOODNESS for James and his partner! They were able to come over with less than two hours notice and did a wonderful job packing my truck with my stuff. Not only that? The guys were friendly, courteous and professional. I'll definitely be using them again! read more

These guys are awesome. They arrived on time, worked incredibly fast, took no breaks (even though I insisted), and offered no complaints. I even had to make a last minute adjustment the night before the move to ask for 3 men instead of 2, and they had no issues. Would definitely hire them again in the future. Best moving company in the area! read more

James and his team moved me from Maryland to Virginia Beach, VA. He was extremely professional and courteous. All of my furniture and personal belongings were packed up and moved out of my home in Maryland in a timely manner. Once in Virginia, I did not have to lift a finger and everything made it safely. Nothing was broken or damaged. I highly recommend James and his team to anyone!! They are awesome!! I intend to keep in contact with them for my next move after I finish Grad school. Not to mention a very decent price especially for moving to another state! :-) read more
