Movers in Philadelphia, PA

Moving in Philadelphia means rowhomes, narrow one-way streets and almost no driveways. Our crews plan the truck position and the carry before the day starts.

What moving in Philadelphia is actually like

Most Philadelphia homes are attached, with a stoop, a straight staircase and doorways that were built long before sectional sofas. We measure the pieces that matter, take doors off hinges where it helps, and protect the stair walls on the way down. Where a street is too tight for a full-size truck we bring a smaller one and shuttle.

Parking is the other half of the job. If your block needs a temporary no-parking permit from the Philadelphia Parking Authority, tell us when you book and we will tell you exactly what to file and when, so the truck is at your door instead of three blocks away.

Do I need a moving permit in Philadelphia?

On most residential blocks you do not have to have one, but a temporary no-parking permit from the Philadelphia Parking Authority is what keeps the space in front of your door clear. It is worth the small fee on narrow streets in South Philadelphia, Fishtown and Center City. Tell us your address when you book and we will walk you through it.

Can your truck fit on a narrow Philadelphia street?

Usually yes, and where it cannot we plan around it. Tell us about one-way blocks, low branches, trolley wires or a tight alley when you request your quote, and we will bring the right size truck or shuttle from the nearest legal spot.
