Real jobs, real footage

Watch the crew work — all 9 clips, unedited

No stock footage, no actors. This is AE Services on customer jobs across Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia. Tap any clip for sound.

Loading day

Wrap first, lift second

Nothing goes on the truck naked. Blankets, shrink and corner protection happen inside the room before a single piece hits the ramp.

Truck build

Tetris, but with your furniture

A tight wall-by-wall load means less shifting on the highway. This is why long-distance customers keep telling us nothing arrived broken.

Heavy lift

Stairs, tight turns, no drama

DC row houses and third-floor walk-ups are the daily normal. Floor runners down, door jambs padded, walls untouched.

Quick hit

In and out in one clean pass

Short-notice jobs still get the full treatment. Marquis routinely lands same-day calls and finishes ahead of the estimate.

Full service

From packed boxes to placed rooms

We label by room on the way out so the unload isn't a guessing game. Boxes land where they belong the first time.

Commercial

Warehouse and office scale

Racking, pallets, desks and IT — the same crew that consolidated nine warehouses into one HQ in 30 days.

Protection

Floors covered, corners padded

Water, weather and worn carpet are the enemies of a clean move. Runners and covers go down before the first box moves.

Reassembly

Put back together, not dumped

Beds, sectionals, tables and cribs come apart and go back together. Deon has assembled three bedroom sets in a single afternoon.

Delivery day

The same faces at both ends

No transfer trucks, no strangers. The crew that loads your home in Maryland is the crew that unloads it wherever it lands.

01The wrap room

This desk took eleven minutes to protect and zero minutes to repair

Before anything rolls, the crew turns the room into a wrap station: blankets over every flat surface, shrink over the blankets, tape never touching finish. It looks slow for the first ten minutes of a move and then it is the reason the last hour is boring — because nothing needs fixing, replacing or apologising for.

Brick steps, a queen mattress and a crew that has done it a thousand times

Aman, Deon and Dimitri move in the pink shirts for a reason — you can see exactly who is carrying your things. On this job the mattress cover went on at the bedroom door, the rail got padded, and the walkway got cleared before anyone took a step backwards with 90 pounds in their hands.

loads strapped and secured

03The load

A truck packed this tight is a promise about the other end

Every gap filled, every wrapped piece strapped to a wall, mattresses standing rather than sandwiched. It's the least glamorous photo on this page and the most important one: how the truck is built decides what your furniture looks like when the door rolls back up.

Same day

reassembly included

04Move-in night

You should be able to sleep in the bed the same day

The move isn't done when the truck is empty. Beds get rebuilt, dressers get placed against the wall you actually wanted, and the boxes land in the right rooms. This bedroom was assembled and set the same evening the truck pulled out of the old place.

Every plate wrapped by hand before a single box gets taped

12/12

plates arriving whole is the only score we accept

05The kitchen table, 7:40 AM

Every plate wrapped by hand before a single box gets taped

Kitchens are where most moves go wrong, so ours start there. Paper down, each plate rolled individually, glassware nested in cell dividers, bowls stacked on their sides instead of flat. It is slow, deliberate, boring work — and it is the reason customers open the dish box at the new place and find twelve out of twelve plates intact.

“Kitchen — pots, party cups, baking pans” beats a box marked ‘misc’

Room-by-room

labeling on every box we pack

06Labels you can actually read

“Kitchen — pots, party cups, baking pans” beats a box marked ‘misc’

Every box gets written on the top and one side: room, contents, and a fragile note if it needs one. The wrapped bench in this photo says ‘legs fragile’ in marker because the legs unscrew and travel separately. When the truck opens at the other end, the crew already knows which room each box belongs in — so you are not living out of a hallway pile for a week.

A living room that looks like this is a move that already went right

Included

wrap, blankets and mattress bags

07Before the first lift

A living room that looks like this is a move that already went right

Sectional shrink-wrapped, headboard and box spring sleeved, chest bagged, TV crated, loose cushions bundled together so nothing wanders. This is a whole room prepped before anything touched the doorway. Customers walk in on it mid-job and go quiet — it is the moment the anxiety leaves the move.

Every 4 ft

a new strapped tier in the load

08Inside the box truck

We build walls in the truck, not piles

Mattresses stand upright against the rails, quilted blankets go between every hard edge, boxes carry the weight underneath and the fragile layer rides on top strapped to the E-track. Two hundred miles of highway is the real stress test of a move, and a wall that cannot shift is what passes it.

Three guys, matching shirts, and the same names you read in the reviews

Three guys, matching shirts, and the same names you read in the reviews

No rotating day-labor, no ‘the crew got reassigned’ call at 7 AM. The people in this photo are the people who quoted your job. When a customer writes that Deon reassembled three bedroom sets or that Marquis showed up early, they are naming the person standing on their steps — and that is the whole point of keeping the team small.

Donnell taped this rug so it would still be square at the other end

3 wraps

of tape on every rolled rug

10The rug nobody wants to roll

Donnell taped this rug so it would still be square at the other end

A rolled rug that isn't taped tight arrives as a bent, creased mess that never lies flat again. So it gets rolled face-in, taped in three places along its length, and carried upright instead of dragged. It is a two-dollar detail on a two-thousand-dollar rug, and it is the kind of thing you only do if you have watched it go wrong once.

Some pieces get blanketed, wrapped and lifted by the whole crew at once

3-person

lift standard on high-value pieces

11Three sets of hands, one credenza

Some pieces get blanketed, wrapped and lifted by the whole crew at once

This credenza is heavy, top-loaded and finished on all four sides — the kind of piece that gets chipped when two people rush it. Deon holds the blanket, Dimitri runs the shrink and Marquis takes the far corner. Nobody lifts until the wrap is closed. It costs four extra minutes and saves a refinishing bill.

Zero rattle

is the pack test we use

12Open the box, count the glasses

Twenty-four wrapped bundles, standing on edge, zero rattle

This is what a properly packed dish box looks like from above: every glass and plate individually rolled in paper, standing on its side like records in a crate, paper packed into the gaps so nothing can travel. Shake the box and you hear nothing. That silence is the entire point of paying for packing.

The crib goes back together before the crew leaves the house

Bagged & taped

hardware travels with its own furniture

13Nursery, 6:15 PM

The crib goes back together before the crew leaves the house

Cribs, bunk beds and platform frames are the pieces families need working on night one — nobody wants to sleep a toddler on a mattress on the floor. Hardware gets bagged and taped to the frame at disassembly, so reassembly is a ten-minute job instead of a hardware-store run. Same for this gold canopy frame across town.

A six-foot round table doesn't fit through anything — until it does

Path first

we walk the route before we lift

14Hallways and elevators

A six-foot round table doesn't fit through anything — until it does

Round tops, glass panels and oversized headboards are the pieces that stall a move. This one got wrapped in plastic over blankets, walked on edge with two hands high and two low, and slid onto a dolly the moment the corridor opened up. Donnell maps the path before anything leaves the room, so the awkward piece is planned, not improvised.

When the estimate says 'full wrap', this is what shows up

In place

we wrap in the room, never in the hall

15The whole room goes under plastic

When the estimate says 'full wrap', this is what shows up

Sofa, loveseat, ottoman, console and the coffee table you refinished yourself — all sleeved before a single piece moves toward the door. Wrapping in place means no drag marks on hardwood and no fabric touching a doorframe. When the customer walked back into this room, the only thing left to say was that it looked like a furniture showroom in shrink.

The hot pink AE Services moving and junk removal pickup truck parked under a rainbow at sunset

Yes, that's a real rainbow over the truck. No, we can't promise one on your move day.

The pink truck

Impossible to miss. On purpose.

Aman wrapped the fleet hot pink for one reason: accountability. When the truck outside your house is the loudest thing on the street, every neighbour, every HOA and every building manager knows exactly who moved you — so the crew has no choice but to be the company they'd want showing up for their own mother.

It also means the pink shirts and the pink truck now get waved at across Silver Spring, Bowie and Baltimore. Customers text us pictures when they spot it. We take that as the review that matters most.

Pink: Wrapped truck you can spot from the end of the block
2 trucks: Box truck for the move, pickup for junk runs
Licensed: & insured on every single job, local or long haul
