Company information

Platinum Services stands out among Baltimore's moving companies through their unique combination of rich military heritage and innovative storage solutions. The company traces its roots back to 1946 when Army veteran Joseph Smoot founded Smoot Brothers Transfer, bringing decades of experience that eventually evolved into today's Platinum Services in 2005. What sets them apart from typical movers is their signature Portable Storage Cubby Containers, offering clients a flexible alternative to traditional moving methods. Their Baltimore-based operation extends comprehensive relocation services across Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, DC, and Northern Virginia, handling everything from neighborhood moves to international relocations. The company shows special dedication to military families, recognizing the unique challenges faced by service members during frequent relocations. While other moving companies focus solely on transportation, Platinum Services combines moving expertise with innovative storage options, giving customers more control over their relocation timeline and providing a personalized approach that reflects their military-founded commitment to service excellence.
