Having used NewRay for my August 2025 move with excellent results (see my earlier review), I went back to them when circumstances prompted me to move again in February 2026. Both moves were transfers within my apartment building. In response to my request to get the same team if possible, the new three-person team had the same foreman as the previous three-person team. They once again did an excellent job - called in advance, arrived early, and worked very quickly and efficiently. The foreman planned well which items should be moved between the two apartments in each trip to minimize the number of trips and the work time. The team members were both friendly and professional. As with my previous move, the cost of the job came in well under the estimate due to the team's speedy work. My two experiences with NewRay have been a refreshing contrast to my experiences with other movers over the years. I plan to continue to use them for any future moves. read more

A clear realistic quote built on 4 hours, not like other movers who quote you two hours to lower the total knowing well it won't be enough to get the job done. Communication with Sasha was good and professional. Their team showed up on time, handled everything with care and got the job done neatly. The foreman of the crew of two (I regret forgetting his name) was really a great guy. I would use them again. read more

NewRay Moving - Everything was neatly wrapped and handled with care - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

2 stars but couldn't been 1. Just feel some sympathy for the team b/c they are overworked. This for the correct company, NewRay. My experience: The movers broke items of value. Poor insurance coverage (very low dollar amount). Team disappeared for approx. an hour during the move between sites. Denied that they didn't (even though I reached the location before them (after leaving at least 40 minutes after they did) and they still charged me for that hour! Came w/o supplies to wrap the lamps even though I was told to leave it for the team to do. They gave me such a hard time that I told them to forget it- I will move the lamps. Left items in the elevator and were about to drive off. Dolly with box of books rolled off the dock and box fell apart. Lead mover was really obnoxious and kept complaining. Audacity to tell me that "I had too much stuff". Placed heavy boxes on top of boxes marked "Fragile" and resisted when I asked them not too...had to get very firm. Unbelievable. Truck was too small (claimed I told them my apt was 500 sq ft which was not true) and did not have space for my storage until. Had to hire an another company to complete the job It was a breath of fresh air- no complaining and efficient. Moved the untouched storage to the new location's storage in the same bldg. It took weeks to emotionally and physically recover from the fiasco. Didn't even bother to file a claim. Wouldn't cover the value anyway and I just wanted to be done with this company. If you have fine items that need care- do yourself a favor and look for another service. Penny-wise pound foolish and in the end, I paid way too much for this service (~$1500) not incl. the second mover. read more

Update 8/6: The company contacted me saying that there must be a mistake because my move wasn't 800, it was 675. The office sent me the receipt they have which says total 675 (I was at my office I could not check mine at the time). I paid $600 cash, $147 over Zelle, and had already paid a $48 deposit. The company said they never received the Zelle and I sent proof of the transaction. After this I get 5 phone calls from the number I had Zelled. They then call me back saying there was a silly misunderstanding, the movers must have been tired and made a mistake, and they will refund the $120 difference. They did give that money back, but it seemed really weird. When I got home and checked my own receipt, I realized the movers intentionally wrote a different amount on my receipt than the one they gave to the main office. The company must have realized that these individuals did receive a Zelle from me after they reached out to the team of movers and then tried to say it was a mistake. When I sent the photo showing the discrepancy, they said sorry and that they "are addressing the issue internally to ensure it does not happen again" and offered me $50 in compensation. They did not communicate what steps they are taking to "address the issue internally," so I do not know if the individuals who created the inconsistent receipts still work for the company. They are shady, I would stay away. Original Review 7/30: The movers were nice enough and did a fine job, but I was quoted $480 to move my 530 ft apartment one block and they ended up charging me $800. It was billed hourly and there were 2 movers and it took way longer than anticipated, I don't know why because everything was packed before and it was a relatively small apartment that was a 2 minute drive away. If you are considering this company, I just want to be transparent that the quote is not accurate and I ended up paying almost double. read more

NewRay Moving - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Mixed experience.The team was understaffed for the amount of work- only 2 people - 1 packing and 1 carrying. i think that was the reason they were demotivated and clearly demonstrated their mood. For the same reason the move took very long, and that is considering I packed a lot of boxes myself before their arrival and continued packing non-stop Along with the team. Yet, they forgot to pack a whole closet, which I noticed last minute and made them take at least big items into the truck. On the positive, they kindly agreed to take a couch that did not fit into the new property back to the old apartment, naturally for a charge including storage charge. Sasha, administrator, was excellent, very efficient communicator. However, it would be easier to communicate directly, not through the app. It all worked out at the end! read more

I've now used NewRay 3 times and have had a good experience every time. This last time they were able to come earlier than planned which was a big help. They carefully wrap everything in blankets to protect your furniture. I definitely recommend them. read more

Great experience with NewRay. They were very responsive, able to be flexible with my scheduling, and even showed up early to knock out the job. read more

Excellent service. On time. Creatively and effectively got my oversized couch in my apartment! Would use them again!

I had a great experience with NewRay moving. My movers were on time, efficient, kind, extremely gentle with my items (some were quite costly) and very professional. It is worth the higher price point if you're looking for your items to arrive in one piece, and with trustworthy individuals. Would highly recommend! read more

NewRay Moving - Job just getting started - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

They moved as slow as possible taking one single pillow at a time to extend the time making the payment more gor moving with less items in 5 minute drive distance compared to our previous moving from 1 hour distance with more furniture. They could actually train the staffs instead of hiring manager to keep deleting and writing fake auto messages on review pages.​ read more

Guys were awesome. Definite professionals. Arrived on time & made it a smooth move. Will definitely use their services again.

Sasha on behalf of NewRay Moving was very communicative and understanding the whole way! The movers were delicate with my stuff but still worked fast and even gave me tips on how to file a claim with the old moving company when some of my stuff broke (NewRay had nothing to do with breaking anything, it was just a mishap with another moving company). They even honored a military discount! I feel the price was good for the service I was getting in the DMV area and I'm looking forward to hiring them for my next move. read more

Movers shattered a glass tabletop into my treadmill. Bits of glass are in the motor and are embedded into the tread rendering it unsafe to use. Their only offer was to send the mover who broke it there to disassemble and fix it. read more

The admins who assisted with my initial quote and scheduling were amazing. They were timely with their replies and followed up a few times before the move which was great. My movers Delvert & Pader were absolutely amazing. They were able to move everything out of my apartment and into a storage unit in 2.5 hours which was less than the estimated amount of time. I was grateful to be able to get on with my day earlier than anticipated. I would absolutely use them again! read more

Everything was great and movers were efficient. Only negative was the punctuality and etiquette of the movers. The movers showed up smoking cigarettes inside of the moving truck. The arrival time was "around 8 am" and the team showed up 9 am. However, given these inconveniences, NewRay gave a 5% discount. read more

Punctual, friendly and got the job done perfectly as requested. Price was competitive and they were able to schedule me right away.

Hiring movers can be stressful but NewRay made my move extremely easy. As someone with a lot of stuff they made moving a 2 bed fully furnished apartment look like baby work. With 3 guys they completed my entire move in only 3 hours!! They are extremely affordable and I will definitely recommend them to anyone! read more

Was quoted at around $1600 for a 3 bedroom move, which included some boxes and packing assistance. I agreed and made the 10% down payment to confirm. Prior to then coning, i bought some mover box packs from uHaul in order to pack up the house. Once they arrived however, the movers immediately used my packs instead of their own - the ones I was already quoted and agreed to pay for. Although the new place we were moving to was less than five miles away, the move took over 10 hours, due to a lot of lolligagging and foot dragging -- ex: they unpacked and repacked some of my boxes, took frequent breaks, even complained that we had too much stuff and couldn't fit it all in the truck. Once it was all loaded up, the mover guys then took a "lunch break" and didn't meet us as the new place until 90 minutes later. I paid attention to this naturally, because I was paying by the hour. Upon arrival, they rushed to unload the truck, dropping boxes off randomly in various rooms. Only some of the boxes they packed were labeled, which also made this process difficult. They built the beds back up, but only one out of the 4 tvs. The rest of the boxes were randomly placed throughout the house, or we had to direct them (mostly due to them not labeling any boxes that they packed) In the end, the lead mover tallies up the bill to $2800!!! Double the remaining amount of payment, which after the downpayment was a little over $1400. Shocked by the bill, i asked how we got to such a number. The lead began complaining about the number of boxes, didn't even acknowledge the 90 minute lunch break, or the use of my pre-paid boxes, nor the fact they sloppily unpacked the house. He then had a flashback and started to tell me a story about a similar tough move he had 9 years ago where...I stopped him right there because I didn't care to hear the rest. Moral of the story -- BUYER BEWARE. Watch for the hidden fees with this company - what they quote you may turn out to only be HALF of what you actually pay!!! read more

NewRay Movers were great! They packed very efficiently and everything was well-protected. When they got to our new home, they unloaded everything quickly and re-assembled what was needed. The team is responsive, professional, flexible with details and timelines, extremely friendly, and do amazing and quick work! Highly recommend!!! read more

I was in a bind and needed a quick turnaround so I emailed NewRay Moving at 8am to see if they could help move a small apartment sized amount of stuff to a storage unit- fast. By 4:30pm that same day the job was done. The crew was professional, efficient and friendly. Best service ever! I highly recommend this company. They made an otherwise stressful situation seem like a breeze to accomplish. Thank you! I will absolutely use and recommend you in the future. read more

I've used them twice and I loved it both times. I've referred like 5 people here and they had great experiences as well. The price is reasonable, they work hard, they handle your stuff with care and they work quickly and diligently. The response time is very quick when you put in a quote too. 10/10 would definitely use again! read more

An excellent experience from start to finish. For various reasons, I had to reschedule my move twice and they were very accommodating. The two gentlemen showed up on time and had the truck loaded so fast that I was scrambling to pack up my last kitchen items, etc. Made it to my new home in good time and unloaded FAST. Everything was delivered in good shape, including my dining room table that has been in my family for well over 100 years. Highly recommended!! read more

Let's face it , moving sucks no matter how organize you may be. BUT what makes the experience tolerable is the right moving company and the right time. NewRay Moving company EXCEEDED my expectations. I had an amazing experience and WILL use them again. Denis and his crew members were awesome! Very patient, arrived early and was ready to get started. Everyone was polite, focused and communicated well. The price was reasonable and Sasha was awesome too, from initial quote (on 6/16/25) to itemizing and assuring that they will adjust to actual use of time (moved on 6/18/25). I didn't feel over or undercharged nor did they drag it out like some on this app(in the past). They maintained their composure despite my 3year old insisting on helping or being in the way (lol). Not one scratch or broken item. My family upgraded from a 2bedroom apt to a two story townhome so walls and steps are narrowed and there were no scratches, or dings on the wall afterwards. They took their time and asked questions if they were unsure. I really do appreciate them for that. So if you are in need of an exceptional moving company within the DMV area check them out! You will not be disappointed! read more

The two guys we hired for a move from storage to storage did an excellent job. Nothing broken, great packing, worked hard, and came in a bit under the quote. Couldn't ask for better. Would definitely hire again read more

These guys are awesome and fast! Very Polite and I felt safe! And they fixed my book shelf! read more

NewRay Moving - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The greatest movers! The absolute nicest guys. There were some minor issues out of everyone's control and they handled it all so well. My move was smooth and efficient and handled with so much care. I would def use them again!! read more

Have used NewRay for my last two moves and was satisfied with their packing and speed. I had two gentlemen my first move that finished my 1 bed apartment in just over 2 hours! Their rates are always affordable compared to other companies read more

If there's another option, you need to take it! The movers were great, but the operational aspect is ALL ABOUT GETTING AS MUCH MONEY out of you as possible! I originally asked for 9am, we agreed, they switched me to 3pm (double booked.) The company sent them out in a too small truck, but blamed me--they had to make 2 trips to the storage facility, but the facility closes at 6pm so the remainder of my items are left. The mover agreed to come the next day to finish the job, but the company wanted to charge me a new move. Not only do I have to hire a new company for 6-8 items, I have to extend my storage contract by a month. If only this cheap ass company would have sent a bigger truck, those 2 movers would have done in 3 hours! If you hire this company, you're going to be SORRY, DONT DO IT!!!! read more

If you need moving service I recommend NewRay Moving. Just trust my word for it. No BS - just ask and let them know what needs to be moved and they will give you a decent rate. Thanks guys :) read more

I had a great experience with this company moving from DC to Maryland. They were very professional, arrived on time, and safely transported my items. The company was upfront about any potential additional charges for moving materials and completed my move in the quoted time. It was great working with Alex. Great value for a great service! read more

Movers were prompt and efficient. They did the work described in a timely fashion. Very friendly. Would use them again. Estimate was accurate and fair. read more

They did a great job and handled everything with care. Would use them again and would recommend them for anyone!

I am copying my google review for this company here. ******************* This review is for a specific team that was lead by Marlen. These guys are professional, fast, efficient AND honest. I was paranoid about using a moving company as i heard horrendous stories from friends who did this job a decade ago. Well, this team proved my fears wrong! They kept going the whole time they were here (8 hrs), nonstop, except for 45 minute break for lunch. Even when i told them to take occasional breaks as the day was getting hot, they didn't stop for snacks that i had set up for them. We didn't have them pack any of the smaller (kitchen or bathroom) stuff, they only moved furniture: took it apart, moved to the new house, and put all furniture back together. Also, want to note that Sasha was extremely helpful in figuring out the process and very responsive. After contacting and working with a few moving companies and getting quotes, we emailed two companies late in the evening on friday asking to reserve a specific date and heard back from Sasha the same evening, while the other company took 5 days to get back. We highly recommend this company and this team specifically. Impressed. (But they should take occasional breaks, especially on a hot day!) read more

This is purely for packing services (not moving) Service is quick but these guys are NOT good packers. They just stuff things anywhere and don't think things through. Lots of the boxes were overstuffed and now don't stack properly. Generally quite expensive for the packing services. The guys were friendly though! Edit: I had to re-pack half the boxes because they just fell apart. Really disappointing Second edit (after business response): Sadly your claim is false. I had a mix of box sizes and have included pictures of the medium boxes I provided (and they used). The packers just stuffed them poorly with super small items that could have gone in the smaller boxes. The whole point of packers is to have them think through where things go, this group doesn't do that. read more

NewRay Moving - Medium boxes (poorly packed) - Movers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I picked NewRay because of their price, rating and response. Denis lead my team of three and they were great! On time, thoughtful and patient as I changed a few things around. They really wanted to make my move fast and safe. For example one surprise was I needed to move an upright piano to another room in my new place. It's super heavy and I said the should just put on dollys and roll it. Dennis said they should carry it because it was so heavy it could leave marks on my wood floor. Very thoughtful. I'd definitely recommend read more

The movers did a great job. They asked me how to move things, where to put them after, and assembled and disassembled what needed to be.

The move these guys helped us with couldn't have gone any smoother. Fast and polite and just all around a great experience. Reasonably priced as well! I would highly recommend these guys! read more

I really enjoyed working with Sasha on the estimate, the contract, and the scheduling. Sasha understood my requirements and incorporated them into the contract efficiently. Two of the three movers were clearly experienced and professional. However, the third mover was not helpful, and I suspect he actually slowed down the other two movers; in short, I wish the third mover did not show up. We had budgeted six hours for the move, which should have been plenty of time, but the movers took eight hours. We had contracted the movers to pack our dishes and glasses, but they were moving so slowly that my family and I did it ourselves; we also moved many of the boxes ourselves. To their credit, the movers did not break anything, and they were pleasant to deal with. However, I think they should have been much more efficient than they were. read more

We used NewRay last week for two separate moves. both of the teams they sent to do our move were excellent. they were professional, efficient and courteous. We so appreciate NewRay's excellent service. Thank you! read more
