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.
