Southeast and Southwest DC — Capitol Hill, the Wharf, Navy Yard, and east of the river
This is the part of the District I grew up in. I’m Damon, and before I started Mercy Movers in 2010 I lived between Capitol Hill and Anacostia. The SE/SW quadrants are two completely different moving worlds glued together — and we handle both with our own W-2 crew and our own trucks.
SE/SW neighborhoods we cover
- Capitol Hill — 1880s-1910s brick rowhouses with steep marble stoops and narrow Victorian staircases, plus English-basement units.
- Navy Yard / Capitol Riverfront — newer glass high-rises with strict COI windows and dock reservations.
- The Wharf (SW Waterfront) — luxury high-rises with timed loading-dock windows and reserved freight elevators.
- Anacostia & Congress Heights — single-family homes, rowhouses, and townhomes east of the river.
What makes SE/SW different
On the Hill we send three movers and stair rollers from the start — those marble stoops eat amateur crews alive. At the Wharf and Navy Yard the work shifts to paperwork: certificate of insurance naming the building, freight-elevator reservation, dock-parking confirmation. Imani handles all of it from our office. See our rowhouse and whole-home service for Hill homes, or Capitol Hill if that’s your neighborhood.
The price is locked before we load
Whether it’s a Hill English basement or a 12th-floor Wharf condo, your flat rate goes on paper before the truck rolls. No hourly drift, no add-ons. Navy Yard page is here.
