What we do
Moving Services
Based in West Philadelphia (University City), serving all areas of the city and suburbs.
Local & Residential Moving
Apartments, rowhomes, and houses moved across the city or out to the suburbs — by a crew that does this in Philadelphia every day.
- A walkthrough — in person or by video — before you get a price, so the quote reflects your actual stairs and doorways
- Disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables, and anything else that won't clear a landing in one piece
- Loading, transport, and placement in the room you want it — not stacked in the entryway
Packing & Unpacking
We box it, wrap it, and label it by room — so nothing arrives broken and nothing takes a week to find.
- Every box labeled with its contents and its destination room, so nothing gets opened twice
- Mirrors, framed art, and TVs boxed properly rather than blanket-wrapped and hoped for
- Partial packing if you only want help with the kitchen, the closets, or the basement
Furniture Assembly & Disassembly
Beds, wardrobes, and flat-pack builds taken apart to clear tight Philly staircases, then rebuilt where you want them.
- Disassembly of beds, bed frames, tables, wardrobes, shelving, and cribs before the move
- All hardware bagged, labeled, and taped to the piece it belongs to — the single biggest reason things get rebuilt correctly
- Reassembly in the room you want it, leveled and tightened, not just stood up
Single-Item & Labor-Only Moves
One couch, one appliance — or two movers to load the truck you already rented.
- Two experienced movers and a truck sized for the piece
- Pickup from a store, a warehouse, or a stranger's living room, and delivery into the room you want it
- Stair carries — including third-floor walk-ups, which is most of what we do

Questions we get asked most
How much does a local move in Philadelphia cost?
It depends on the crew size, the hours, and the stairs — which is why we quote after a walkthrough rather than over the phone. What we can tell you up front is that the hourly rate covers the truck and the crew.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks for a normal weekday, and four or more if you're moving on the first of the month, on a weekend, or over the University City lease turnover at the end of August. Those dates fill first every year.
Do I need a parking permit?
On most West Philly, Center City, Fairmount, and South Philly blocks, yes. A temporary no-parking permit comes from the Philadelphia Parking Authority and needs a few days' lead time. Without a spot near your door, the long carry adds real hours to the bill, so it's usually the cheapest thing you'll buy all move.
Can you move me on the same day I call?
Sometimes, for smaller jobs and single items. Call or text and we'll tell you honestly what we have open rather than taking the booking and rescheduling you later.
What won't you move?
Anything flammable, corrosive, or explosive — propane, gasoline, paint thinner, aerosols. We'll also ask you to personally carry passports, medication, cash, and jewelry. Those should stay with you rather than ride in a truck.
Do you move out of state?
Not currently. We're a local Philadelphia and suburbs mover — the city, the Main Line, and Delaware County. If you're moving out of state we'd rather point you elsewhere than take a job we're not set up for.
Not sure which one you need?
Describe the job and we'll tell you — including when it's smaller than you think and a couple of hours of labor-only would do it. We'd rather quote you honestly than sell you a crew of four to move a futon.
