Services
BACKLIGHT In 1937 most of Arlington County's businesses were of the service variety: grocery stores, laundries, etc. Entrepreneur Roderick Henderson Sr.'s business was sevice-driven, and then some. Henderson's got started on 1317 N. 19th St. in Rosslyn, in 1927, delivering ice and coal to Northwest Washington.
We are celebrating our 77th year of service. Most likely we have performed a service at your facility or you have seen our trucks in the area. At Henderson's Moving Services, we believe in providing many levels to assure that you can entrust your cherished belongings and valued equipment in our hands.
Henderson's has a full service warehouse located just minutes from downtown Washington, DC. No matter what your storage needs Henderson's can accommodate you. Our warehouse is under 24 hour a day security and is not a public warehouse. Only our moving crews have access to the storage area. Your belongings are inventoried to insure what you store with us is delivered in the same shape and condition as it was received.
You can purchase all your packing supplies and materials from Henderson's. We provide free local delivery of packing supplies. If you are moving with Henderson's ask about our used cartons that we supply to customers at no charge. We usually recommend having china and dishware packed by professionals.
Use the right carton for the job. Small or book cartons are for smaller heavier items such as books, CD's, canned goods ect. Medium cartons are used for larger lighter items such as pots and pans, dry food, smaller lamps and lamp shades, linens ect. Large cartons are used for pillows, bedding, larger lamps and lamp shades and anything large and light.

We used Henderson's Moving company so we could store some of our furniture to declutter our home in hopes of selling it. This moving company was recommended by our listing agent who worked out "a deal" for us where we didn't have to pay a storage fee, just a moving fee. What a terrible "deal" we got. The movers nickel and dimes us, damaged the ceilings in our home, broke some of our stuff and we are almost certain returned our bed mattress along with the box spring filled with roaches. Whatever you do, DO NOT go with this company!!!

These guys are professionals. My move was fairly small and scheduled for 9A.M. They arrived before me at 8:45 and had everything out of my apartment and into my storage unit in an hour. ONE HOUR!! Amazing. The guys were professional and friendly but wasted no time getting to work. Excellent service.

Henderson's Moving Service moved me 250 miles from Alexandria to Pittsburgh. I moved from one 2 bedroom apartment to another. After I first called Anthony, he arrived right on time to assess my particular needs (the size van required, number of pads, items needing delicate handling. etc.). Anthony and his 3 men arrived on July 31st, as he promised. Anthony was even considerate enough to call to say he was running.a little late. After he arrived, he and his men had all my things safely padded and loaded in much less time than I thought it would take. He arrived at my new residence the

Henderson's moving service is exceptional! My family has moved 3 times and I've hired Henderson's to move to a condo, townhouse and single family home and find the staff to be courteous, friendly and flexible. It comes to no surprise that they've been in business for over 3/4 of a century. I also utilized their services in a commercial setting moving office equipment and storage and know that their team is professional and efficient. I highly recommend calling Anthony for your moving and storage needs. Thank you, Henderson's for all you've done for me.

The worst move ever!! It took them 9 hours to move a 2 bedroom condo 10 min away to a townhouse. Two years ago I moved from a 3 level townhome to the 2 bedroom condo which was 45 minutes away and the move only took 5 hours (I also had more things during the prior move).
When the guys arrived, they said I hope you aren't moving to a 3 or 4 level townhome. I confirmed that I was. They are movers. Even if they don't want to do stairs, they should never express this to the customer. The estimated time to move was 5 hours and I expressed my dissatisfaction with the owner. He stated

I moved in May 2008.
After I paid the three guys and tipped each $20 and they left, I said to myself "hey, where's my gorgeous limited edition artwork?
I called immediately and the owner didn't seem to care. I kept calling to see if they'd "found" my art in the truck or at another stop. NO luck.
They also damaged my Scandi dresser. For that, he sent out a repair guy. But I never heard an apology or an offer of restitution for the missing piece of art--which was worth $500. I really miss it. It would look great in the bedroom.
I highly recommend having someone

We used Henderson's last year to move our small 1 BR apartment locally. They sent a 3 man team that was very unprofessional. They took 7 hours to load the truck, drive it to our new place, and unload it. This was a move from Arlington to Vienna, approximately 15 miles, and both locations were easier to work in than most. Everything was completely packed ahead of time and they did no unpacking at the destination. It took that long because they would vanish for up to 30 minutes every time they took a load to the truck and were witnessed standing around the truck smoking on more than one
