Company information

Guardian Moving & Storage Company has been anchored in Baltimore since 1946, establishing nearly eight decades of experience from their Light Street headquarters while serving clients throughout Maryland and beyond. This established moving company brings 300 years of combined industry experience to both residential relocations and specialized government contracts, including classified work with agencies like the National Security Agency and NASA. Their services extend far beyond typical household moves to include warehousing operations, inventory distribution, mail services, and complex federal relocations involving hundreds of employees. What distinguishes Guardian from other Baltimore area moving companies is their unique position as a government-contracted logistics provider, handling everything from Department of State storage services to relocating entire military facilities. The company operates under their "Whatever-It-Takes" service philosophy, which has helped them secure high-profile contracts requiring crews of up to 100 people deployed within 48 hours notice. Their Baltimore location provides strategic access to government facilities throughout the DMV area, while their federal credentials and security clearances enable them to handle sensitive relocations that most residential movers cannot accommodate.
