Takoma Park keeps our crew on its toes. The town climbs a set of hills on the Montgomery County side of the DC line, the streets are narrow and tree-lined, and the housing is largely big Victorians off Carroll Avenue with porches, turrets, and staircases that turn twice on the way up. Andre plans these moves carefully, and True Blue brings its own trucks and W-2 crew to handle the grade and the woodwork.
What makes a Takoma Park move its own job
The hills and the old houses set the plan, so Andre walks it through before move day rather than guessing in your front yard.
- Victorians off Carroll Ave — tall homes with wraparound porches, narrow turning stairs, and original floors we protect with runners.
- Steep, tree-lined streets — we position the truck where the grade is workable and shuttle a shorter carry when a hill is too tight for the 26-footer.
- Old House neighborhood near the Metro — tight parking and mature trees, so we stage on the flatter block and hand-carry.
- Apartments toward the Takoma line — we book the elevator and work the stairs when there is none.
A flat written rate that holds on the hill
✓ Our crew, our trucks
- Andre or someone in his office picks up — no call center
- One flat written rate is exactly what you settle at the curb
- The same True Blue crew loads and unloads, every time
- $1M cargo coverage, same-day COI for your building manager
- Claims stay in-house — Andre signs off himself
× Broker chain
- A call center bounces you and sells your number on
- Quote rebilled at delivery for “extras”
- A different stranger’s truck shows up each time
- Generic certificate, COI is a fight
- “Not our crew” runaround on damage claims
Andre puts your Takoma Park price on paper before we lift a thing, and it stays put. Two movers run $150/hr, three run $205/hr, four run $265/hr, but most Victorians take a flat band: a two-bedroom is $1,180 to $1,980, a three-bedroom is $1,980 to $3,250, and a four-bedroom is $3,150 to $4,950. An upright piano on the parlor floor is $320 to $500, a baby grand $560 to $900, written into the same total.
| Move size | Typical flat rate |
|---|---|
| 3-bed Victorian off Carroll Ave | $1,980–$3,250 |
| 4-bed on the hill | $3,150–$4,950 |
A steep street and a winding staircase never raise your bill
The rate is flat and in writing, so a hard hill, a twice-turning Victorian stair, and a shuttle carry are our work to manage. Your things ride under $1M cargo coverage with full-value protection available.
Heading out of the DMV up the Northeast Corridor on I-95? True Blue runs those lanes with its own trucks, so the crew that carries your boxes down the Takoma Park porch is the crew that brings them up the new ones. Reach Andre at (888) 711-4778.
