How Able Supported the Community in 2024

Over the past year, Able worked alongside the following organizations:

• The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
  The Able team continued our in-kind sponsorship of The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Metro DC Chapter this year by transporting materials for and setting up 6 fundraising events between May and September. The CFF supports research efforts into a cure for cystic fibrosis, and Able has worked with its Metro DC Chapter for 3 years. We look forward to continuing our work in the new year!

• Second Story & NAIOP Northern Virginia Snack Pack
  A Northern Virginia-based nonprofit that supports struggling children and families, Second Story is another organization that Able has worked with for several years. In 2024, we provided in-kind moving services to its residential programs, and our office staff came together to donate 50 turkeys and 5 Thanksgiving baskets for the holiday.
  
  Able’s work with Second Story has intersected with its membership in the Northern Virginia Chapter of NAIOP. Able provided in-kind services as their storage and transportation sponsor for the 5000 snack packs that the Developing Leaders Committee donated to Second Story. Following this, Able was the transportation sponsor for NAIOP Northern Virginia’s Holiday Donation and Wrapping Party, which supplied over 70 gifts for local youth during the holiday season.

• The Ronald McDonald House
  The Ronald McDonald House Charities is a nationwide organization that helps families with sick children access the healthcare they need. In April this year, Able provided 200 care kits for its Greater Washington, DC, chapter. We were also in-kind sponsors of the DC Chapter’s 14th Annual Red Shoe 5K after renting out an onsite storage trailer for 5 months at no cost to the organization. Their 5K event raised significant funds to promote the well-being of local children and families.

• Dream Finders Homes
  Although they’re not a nonprofit, Dream Finders Homes’ employees wanted to make a difference during the holiday season and turned to Able for help. On their team’s behalf, we transported and delivered 200 bikes to Women Giving Back, who will distribute them to local children.

We recently sat down with Erika and CJ to discuss their involvement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, their approach to managing these events, and how their teamwork has helped make a difference for the CF community:

Can you tell us about your role in coordinating/project managing the logistics for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s summer fundraising events?

Erika: The first year was intensive because we were learning what needed to be done, which supplies went to each event, and where. Since gaining some event experience, it has been smooth sailing. We use maps to put up tents, drink stations, and registration supplies. Everyone on the team has assigned roles, so everything flows nicely.

CJ: My role involves overseeing the process of getting essential items to and from the events. I work closely with the CFF team to develop a move plan that aligns with their needs and ensures everything runs smoothly on event days. 

How do you (and the Able team) ensure that everything runs smoothly during high-stakes events?

Erika: Our main goal is to support the CFF Foundation, so we check in frequently during the event to ask if they need additional help. They often get volunteers for these events, but we can jump in to fill those roles if required.

CJ: I focus on preparation, communication, and teamwork. First, I work with the Able team and CFF to create a clear and consistent move plan, ensuring everyone knows their roles and responsibilities. The Able team helps me anticipate potential challenges, such as inclement weather, and we address them proactively. 

On the day of the event, we stay organized and flexible, maintaining constant communication with the CFF team and adjusting plans in real time if necessary. Our primary goal is to ensure the event runs smoothly without logistical issues, allowing CFF to focus on its essential work.

Is there a specific CFF fundraising event you enjoy coordinating/project managing most?

Erika: The Brewer’s Ball at the Wharf! It is a beautiful location and everyone enjoys it!

CJ: It would have to be the Brewer’s Ball. I was invited to attend last year, and it was such a great time with fantastic food, live music, and (of course) brews! The atmosphere was friendly and fun, but you could still feel the strong dedication to the cause. It was also the first time I witnessed firsthand how the foundation raises awareness for cystic fibrosis.

How has Able’s support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation impacted your awareness of this disease?

Erika: To be honest, I had little knowledge of this disease before Able began supporting fundraising events and I joined as the Project Manager. Through attending these events, I have learned a lot about it, and unfortunately, heard many stories about how it impacts children and their families.

One that stands out to me is a little girl speaking in Spanish about her experiences living with this disease. It is often difficult for the Latino community to speak out about illnesses, so I found her ability to tell her story publicly very impactful.

This past September, I loved having a group of my colleagues attend the Manassas 5k so they could see how vital this organization is and why we support them.

CJ: I’ll admit, before managing these projects, I wasn’t fully aware of what cystic fibrosis was. After working with the foundation for several years, attending their events, and even coordinating ones in my hometown, I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of the disease and its impact. It’s been eye-opening, and raising awareness is one of the foundation’s key goals. I’m proud that our work can support that effort meaningfully.

Able Moving Project Manager Erika Molina and Coordinator CJ Weverink embody a generous and grateful attitude we can all learn from.

Below, we discuss how Able calculates its residential moving estimates: 

Factors That Impact Moving Costs

Seasonality and Timing

Peak moving season, typically the late spring and summer, usually commands high rates due to the demand for services. Conversely, moving during the off-season (such as late fall or winter) comes at a much lower price.

Shipment Weight and Volume 

One of the most significant determinants of residential moving prices is the shipment’s total weight and volume. The exact price point will depend on how much space your belongings take up in the truck and, for long-distance moves, its total weight in pounds. Nevertheless, Able’s moving experts can make a reasonable estimate of weight and volume before your moving day. 

Pro Tip: Decluttering and donating unnecessary belongings before your move can reduce your shipment’s weight, lowering these costs and streamlining the relocation process.

Local vs. Long-Distance Moves 

Distance dramatically impacts moving costs. Local moves (typically within 50-100 miles) are billed hourly based on the number of movers, truck size, and time required, whereas long-distance moves (such as interstate relocations) factor in mileage, fuel, and tolls. Additional services, like residential storage solutions, may also increase costs based on the space and duration needed. 

Hourly Labor 

Hourly labor costs will comprise a significant portion of residential moving expenses. These charges include the time required for loading, transporting, and unloading your belongings. The number of movers involved, as well as the complexity of the job (such as navigating stairs or disassembling furniture), can further increase a move’s time and cost. 

How to Get an Accurate Moving Estimate

When speaking with Able about your move, you can choose between an over-the-phone estimate or a no-cost, no-obligation in-home estimate. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend scheduling a visit from one of our Professional Move Consultants, who will assess your belongings and provide a detailed written estimate. 

During your in-home consultation, Move Consultants account for all items (including those in discreet spaces like attics or basements) to ensure nothing is overlooked. This personalized approach helps identify potential additional costs, such as packing services or storage, so you can enjoy comprehensive, upfront estimates.

Below are tips from the experts on how to ward off moving frights: 

Conjure a Solid Plan with Pre-Move Prep

The secret to a spellbinding move is a solid plan! From sorting your belongings to confirming logistics, every detail of your moving checklist should be in place before moving day arrives. And don’t forget to summon help from professional movers and packers. At Able Moving & Storage, we follow a step-by-step pre-move process to ensure your move is smooth:

1. Get an Estimate: We recommend meeting with one of our Professional Move Consultants for accurate pricing. Conveniently choose between our phone, virtual,  or in-home estimate options.
2. Book Your Move: We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during peak moving seasons.
3. Assign a Relocation Coordinator: Once you’ve confirmed Able as your provider, a dedicated Relocation Coordinator will help schedule your moving dates and guide you through every step.

With Able, you can expect a well-organized move from start to finish, ensuring that every step is handled professionally and on schedule.

Banish Accursed Clutter by Decluttering Before You Pack 

Before you start packing, seize the moment and declutter your home. Go through the closets, storage spaces, and other areas that have accumulated your possessions over the years and identify the items you no longer need. Consider donating, selling, or discarding anything that doesn’t serve a purpose in your new space. Whittling down your belongings simplifies the packing process and helps make your move more efficient, saving time and effort.

Don’t Let Moving Day Turn into a Horror Show 

If you’re not careful on moving day, it can spiral into a full-blown horror show. Plan everything down to the last detail to keep the day-of demons at bay. Create a timeline and ensure all hands are on deck to keep things organized. A well-prepared moving day is the best way to avoid unexpected scares. Also, don’t forget to set aside a survival kit for the first night at your new home—complete with snacks, chargers, water, bedding, and essential documents—to keep everyone’s spirits high.

Expel Your New Home’s Monsters

Once you’ve arrived at your new home, the best part of the move begins—unpacking! Nevertheless, your moving team can ensure this process goes smoothly.  

If you’re curious how much professional movers cost, especially for long-distance moves, you’ll find that their unpacking assistance makes the investment well worth it. They’ll help you place boxes in the correct rooms and make it easy to tackle unpacking one space at a time, starting with high-priority areas like the kitchen and bedrooms.

With everything in its place, your new house will have no dark corners for secrets or monsters to hide.

Work with one of the best interstate moving companies by calling (703) 330-3772!

Below, we explore what makes our interstate movers stand out: 

What is Interstate Moving? 

As the name suggests, interstate moving involves relocating your home across state lines, which entails distinct logistics that are different from local moving. Unlike local moves, which typically occur within a single state and day, interstate moves may span hundreds of miles. Their distances require careful coordination, timeline management, and budgeting. A professional moving team plays a crucial role in this process, as they bring expertise in navigating the complexities of long-distance relocations.

What to Expect from Interstate Moving with Able 

Comprehensive Pre-Move Planning 

The first step of Able’s interstate moving process is thorough planning. You will meet with one of our Professional Move Consultants, who will inventory your belongings to create a personalized moving plan and estimate tailored to your needs and schedule. Once you officially book with Able, you’ll be assigned a dedicated Relocation Coordinator to schedule your move, process payment, and guide you through every phase of your move, ensuring no detail is overlooked. The Able Moving & Storage approach takes the guesswork out of moving and replaces it with expertise.

Professional Packing and Protection 

Able’s professional packing services keep your belongings safe throughout your move. Our trained movers use high-quality materials to wrap, pad, and secure items, with particular attention paid to fragile ones. When our crew handles the packing, loading, and unloading, you can trust that your belongings receive maximum protection.

State-of-the-Art Moving Fleet 

Able’s vehicle fleet is equipped to handle long-distance moves across state lines, ensuring your items arrive without delay or damage. Furthermore, as an independent moving company, Able often delivers shipments faster than traditional van lines. We rigorously maintain all trucks and vans so they perform efficiently on the road.

Short and Long-Term Storage Solutions 

Timing shifts can throw a wrench into your moving plans, so Able offers flexible storage solutions to accommodate your needs. Our secure storage facilities offer complete protection for belongings you can’t yet move. Whether you store those items for a few weeks or several months, our storage options ensure your items remain safe and secure.

Constant Communication and Support

Communication is critical to an interstate move, and Able excels at keeping you informed every step of the way. Your Relocation Coordinator will maintain regular contact from the moment they are assigned to you, providing updates and answering any questions. Our commitment to open communication helps reduce the stress of long-distance moving.

Below, we discuss how to plan a successful office relocation:

Setting Relocation Goals

Before embarking on your office relocation, you must define clear objectives. What do you hope to achieve in your move? Are you looking to reduce operational costs, improve employee satisfaction, or enhance service delivery? Articulating these goals helps focus your efforts and measure success.

Start by conducting a thorough needs assessment. This involves reviewing your current space, identifying limitations, and envisioning your ideal office environment. Engage with staff at all levels to learn about their needs and preferences. Such input is invaluable in identifying a space that supports productivity and well-being.

Once you’ve set goals, translate them into actionable steps. Develop a roadmap with key milestones and deadlines, ensuring everyone understands their roles and responsibilities. A successful office relocation is collaborative and comes together with clear communications that keep everyone aligned.

Creating a Comprehensive Timeline

Timing and organization are fundamental concerns of office relocations. A thoughtful timeline ensures each phase of your move occurs on time with no delays. Early in your planning, establish a realistic timeframe that incorporates the move’s complexity and the time required for approvals and permits.

Break down the relocation process into distinct phases: planning, packing, moving, and unpacking. Assign specific tasks to each phase and designate team members responsible for their execution. Such details enable you to monitor progress, address potential bottlenecks, and make adjustments as necessary.

Furthermore, include some scheduling flexibility. Unexpected challenges will arise, and including a buffer in your timeline allows you to handle them without compromising the overall schedule. Regularly review and update your schedule to ensure it remains accurate and relevant throughout the relocation process.

Budgeting for a Hassle-Free Move

Budgeting is critical to an office relocation, as surprise expenses can derail a move and delay your goals for that move. So, while putting together your needs assessment, estimate the overall cost of the relocation (including factors such as transportation, renovation, and equipment installation).

Negotiating with vendors and suppliers can identify potential savings. Competitive bidding may help secure favorable terms, while bulk purchasing agreements can reduce costs on necessary supplies. Be transparent about your budget constraints, and seek creative solutions to maximize value for money.

Furthermore, allocate funds for contingencies. Unforeseen expenses, such as damages or last-minute changes, can strain tight budgets. Setting aside a contingency fund provides peace of mind and ensures you’re prepared for the unexpected. Regularly review your budget throughout the relocation process to keep your finances on track.

Selecting the Ideal Location

Choosing the right location is pivotal in the office relocation process. The ideal site should align with your organization’s goals, incorporate accessibility, and support future growth. Conducting a thorough site selection process ensures you find a location that meets your needs and aspirations.

Define your key criteria for the new location: proximity to clients, availability of public transportation, access to amenities, and more. Your criteria should work hand-in-hand with your relocation goals, and they can help you evaluate potential sites’ short-term benefits and long-term implications. Site visits and consultations with local experts will provide additional insights into the suitability of each location.

Once you (or your team members) select a location, negotiate lease terms or purchase agreements to align with your organization’s goals and budget constraints. Make sure the chosen site supports your mission and facilitates your operations. A well-chosen location can enhance your agency’s visibility and accessibility, benefiting all stakeholders.

As a high school student, Mr. Mendez-Anastasio distinguished himself as a varsity athlete and co-captain of the Gar-Field wrestling and lacrosse teams. He attended the Summer Residential Governor’s School for Math, Science, and Tech at the University of Lynchburg last year; additionally, he earned the Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair’s award for outstanding achievement by the American Chemical Society (ACS) (11th grade). Finally, Mr. Mendez-Anastasio completed significant volunteer work in his community through after-school events, tutoring, and food drives.

We recently sat down and chatted with Mr. Mendez-Anastasio to learn more about him:

• You mentioned a few times in your essay that the principles of the military are a common thread within your life. Can you share more about how being surrounded by the military has shaped your views on leadership?
  Although my parents were not in the military, family and friends around me were. From them, I learned the basic traits of being a leader. As my education continued, I grew closer connections to those in the military and was able to apply the skills I had learned in school through sports and clubs.

• If you could lead any organization or movement in the world, what would it be and why?
  I would lead a movement that focuses on the issues of global warming and pollution. I believe this issue is very serious and needs to be fixed. The reason why I would choose this also goes back to research projects I have done in class revolving around limiting carbon dioxide in the air.

• If you could have dinner with any historical leader, who would it be and why?
  It would be one of our founding fathers, either George Washington or Benjamin Franklin. I would talk with them about the steps they took when establishing a country. For George Washington, I would also focus on his abilities in war and leading men in combat.

• If you had a superpower that could help you in a leadership role, what would it be?
  My superpower would be the ability to gain attention. When being a leader, I believe it is most difficult to get the attention of others, especially those who may not want to be told what to do or lead. This ability would allow me to not worry about being heard when leading others.

• As you prepare to study mechanical engineering at the University of Virginia, how do you plan to apply your leadership skills in this new environment?
  During my first year at UVA, I plan to join clubs in the school that interest me. These include sports, outdoors, Hispanic, and engineering clubs. I plan to find a group/club I enjoy and then apply for a position in that club. In addition, I plan on doing research in college, in which I hope to be in a group. Here, I will not assert a leadership position but instead work with others to effectively conduct research.

Able Moving & Storage is Proud to Support Our Community’s Next Generation of Leaders!

Please join the Able Moving & Storage team in congratulating Mr. Mendez-Anastasio on his accomplishments and bright future. We are inspired by his dedication to success and look forward to his prospects at UVA and beyond!

Below, we answer frequently asked questions about international moves:

How Far in Advance Should I Start Planning?

Like so many things in life, the sooner you begin planning an international move, the smoother it will go. Indeed, we suggest you start planning at least 6 months in advance if you know about a move at that time. Doing so provides ample time to research your destination and prepare your home.

You should allow yourself 7-10 weeks before your move to downsize your belongings, gather travel forms, and coordinate with your international movers and packers. As the adage goes, if you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail.

What Items Am I Prohibited from Shipping Overseas? 

When moving internationally with Able, your Relocation Coordinator can provide extensive details on what you can and cannot pack (determined by your destination). Yet, for a brief overview, always avoid the following: 

• Perishable items: Food and other perishable goods are strictly regulated by customs and often not allowed. Additionally, packing such goods creates a high risk of spoilage during transport.

• Hazardous materials: Able (and most international shipping companies) prohibit flammable liquids, aerosols, and other dangerous materials. Either dispose of or store these items responsibly before your move.

How Long Will It Take for My Shipment to Arrive?

Transit times vary depending on destination and shipping method. International moves can encompass travel by air, sea, and land, and each has different time frame expectations. Your Able Relocation Coordinator can help you decide which shipping method is most appropriate for your timeline and track items as they pass through customs. They will update you on the progress of your shipments throughout their journey. 

Who Will Unpack My Belongings? 

As a member of the FIDI Global Alliance, Able’s worldwide network includes some of the best international movers available. These local moving associates will deliver and unpack your belongings with the same care they received state-side. Moreover, our international colleagues are U.S. Embassy-approved, FIDI-approved, IAM-Trusted, or LACMA-certified.

Can I Store Items in the US?

In addition to our local and international moving services, Able maintains industry-leading storage facilities. Whether you need short-term, long-term, or fluctuating storage solutions, our secure warehouse ensures your belongings are safe until you return. Furthermore, we can easily pack your goods for international travel and route them to your destination as needed.

Below, we explore the benefits of choosing a local moving company: 

Personalized Service 

As opposed to national and international moving companies, local movers spend time building relationships with their customers. For instance, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact throughout your move with Able.  We will answer your questions, address any concerns, and tailor your plan to your needs. Whether you have fragile items requiring special care or need a flexible schedule due to work commitments, a local mover can ensure a smooth and stress-free relocation.

Local Expertise 

When you hire local movers for an in-state move, you’ll have access to their intimate knowledge of the area. Able Moving is familiar with the Washington Metropolitan Area’s streets, traffic patterns, and potential obstacles, which allows us to navigate rush hour traffic jams and avoid delays. This expertise translates into a smooth, efficient move that saves you time and money on moving day. 

Cost-Effective Moving 

Furthermore, local movers offer more value for your money than chain movers. National chains can come with higher overhead if they pull in crews and trucks from several states away. However, local movers will have a grasp of their resources within a specific region to avoid such expenses.

Additionally, national chains might lack experience with local-level regulations, leading to unexpected fees for permits or navigating tolls. Local movers, on the other hand, know the ropes, keeping your moving costs predictable. 

Efficiency and Mitigated Risk

Hiring a local moving company also minimizes the risk of damage to your belongings during moves. For example, Able’s vetted packing experts know how to fill boxes strategically to prevent items from shifting and bumping. They can also identify items that require reinforced packing. 

To further protect customers’ items, Able employs full-time movers and they receive ample training to ensure customer satisfaction. With our packing expertise, local movers can ensure your possessions arrive at your new home safe and sound, helping you save money and heartache on replacement.

Well-Maintained Equipment

While big-brand companies cut corners on quality to save a dime, local movers prioritize equipment maintenance to ensure an efficient move for their customers. This equipment can include high-quality furniture padding to minimize bumps in the moving truck, specialized dollies for bulky furniture, and supportive lifting straps to prevent injury. Able movers train with and store such equipment carefully—big brands may cut such steps to save time.

That said, local movers can guarantee your belongings are protected from start to finish by utilizing functional, high-quality equipment.

We recently sat down and spoke with Matthew about his career, time at Able, and life outside work:

• How long have you been with Able? What were you doing before working at Able?
  I’ve been with Able for about 6 and a half months. Before joining Able, I worked with another moving company where I focused on senior moves as a relocation manager. I heard about Able through colleagues in the commercial moving department, and they had great things to say about the team here.
• What is your current role, and what positions have you held before?
  In my previous job, I was a relocation coordinator. I really enjoy helping people and providing excellent customer service. I have a particular passion for working with seniors, ensuring they receive the time and quality of care they need.
• What do you like about the moving industry?
  I love the ever-changing challenges. No two days are ever the same!
• What do you like about working at Able? Favorite events?
  I really enjoy the camaraderie here. My favorite event so far has been the mac and cheese cook-off we had in March!
• What do you like to do when you are not working?
  I like bowling, I’m interested in Anime, and a fun fact about me is that I’m from Hawaii, so I love spending my vacation time going home to visit family. I actually met my wife there right out of high school.
• What is the best career advice you live by?
  Never stop learning. I learned this from watching my mom, who is a lifelong learner and earned her Master’s in special education at 50. It was incredibly inspirational. My wife is also a lifelong learner, which motivates me as well. She is constantly improving herself and forcing me to do the same.
• Do you have any favorite customer success stories?
  Before joining Able, I had a client struggling to downsize their home to move to a senior community. They had so many belongings that most people would have turned them away. I made sure to help them, provided resources to handle everything, and reassured them throughout the process. Seeing their appreciation once their house was sold was the best feeling!
