In the 1800s, Gainesville was a place where stagecoach drivers changed out their horses. After the railroad to Strasburg, VA was built in 1852, the Gainesville train depot was developed, named after Thomas Brawner Gaines who gave the railroad right-of-way through the land he owned along Route 29. The town then became a shipping point for grain, timber and cattle. Gainesville’s first town home community began in 1994, and the Gainesville Interchange improvement project begun in 2006 and was completed in 2015, easing the growing traffic in the Gainesville-Haymarket area. Gainesville has grown in its residential and commercial development, and is a highly desirable area to move into in the DC Metro area.

“They were excellent! They had very responsive customer service, the price was very fair,and the gentlemen who came in were very nice, very experienced, and worked very hard.”

“American Moving was very responsive and professional. They showed up on time the day of the scheduled day and carefully moved my furniture and belongs. The workers were very cordial and very understanding of the uncertainty on my part where the pieces of furniture would fit. They placed furniture and boxes where we asked. The experience from the time I contacted them until my household was relocated was excellent.”

“Called and scheduled two weeks in advance, they showed up professionally equipped, moved everything quickly and carefully. The truck was full to the ceiling. We had a lot of stuff. They could have squeezed it for two trips if they really wanted to but they made it one trip which shows honesty as two trips would have costed me extra due to the distance. I highly recommend them.”
