Hank's Moving & Hauling in Virginia

Hank’s Moving & Hauling in Virginia

Hank’s Moving & Hauling has been moving Virginia households since 2005, and Hank Dolan still answers his own phone, writes his own binding estimates, and drives the truck himself. We’re part of the Locally family, which means every Virginia job carries the same promise: the owner’s name is published, the address is real, the license is verifiable, and the price you sign is the price you pay. No call-center handoffs, no move-day surcharges, no crew you’ve never met unloading your grandmother’s china.

Why Virginia Homeowners Choose Hank’s Moving & Hauling

Virginia homeowners aged 50 to 70 have heard the same story too many times. A friendly voice on an 800 number quotes a price that sounds reasonable. The truck arrives with out-of-state plates, a different crew, and a bill that somehow tripled because the hallway was “narrower than described” or the stairs “weren’t on the original estimate.” By the time you realize what happened, the number goes to voicemail and the company name turns out to be a franchise shell.

Hank Dolan started his company in 2005 because he was tired of watching neighbors get taken in. His Written Price Promise works like this: he walks through your house himself, counts the rooms, notes the piano, measures the driveway, and puts a number in writing that he signs. That number is the number on the invoice. If we pack it and something shifts in transit, we make it right. Our 90-day written guarantee means one call brings Hank back, not a customer-service queue in another time zone.

Our movers are on our own payroll, background-checked, and the crew that loads your house in the morning is the same crew that unloads at the new place. Hank drives, so there’s never a handoff to some outfit you never agreed to. Seniors and veterans always get 10% off. There’s no trip charge inside the county. And if another mover handed you a written estimate that doesn’t smell right, Hank will look at it for free and tell you what he’s actually seeing.

The L.O.C.A.L. values code isn’t decoration here. Local roots means Hank lives in this community, not three states away. On time means the window he gives you is the window, and he calls if traffic on I-64 changes that. Community first means hiring here, buying here, sponsoring the team here. Accountable means his name is on the truck and his cell number is the one you have. Loyal means he’d rather move your kids out of college in ten years than pad a bill today.

Ask anyone on your street. Hank will be there himself.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story from neighbors: out-of-state trucks, phone quotes that evaporated, numbers that stopped working. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes: a local phone number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.

When you hire Hank’s Moving & Hauling in Virginia, you’re getting Hank’s name on the truck and the Locally promise stamped on every page. The person who answers the phone is the person who shows up. The price he says is the price on the invoice. And the name “Locally” itself comes from the only question that actually matters when you’re deciding who to let into your house: are you actually local? With Hank, you know before you call.
