Professional Intrastate Moving Services in Philly
Residential moving and commercial moving services within Pennsylvania require a crew that understands the logistics of moving heavy furniture. Our team manages the relocation process, including furniture disassembly and furniture assembly, to ensure items are prepared for transit. Whether you are relocating a business or a family house, we provide the labor and equipment necessary for the transition. We handle everything from office equipment to household goods with professional care.
During the process, we prioritize the safety of your belongings. However, high-value items such as jewelry, cash, and important documents must travel with the customer. Our crew focuses on the heavy lifting and loading of the truck while you maintain possession of your most sensitive personal effects. We move apartment and house contents within our Pennsylvania service area, and packing supplies help protect your belongings on the way.
Transparent Hourly Rates for Long-Distance Moves
Long-distance moves within Pennsylvania are quoted individually, so the best first step is to ask for an estimate with photos or a video of your belongings. Our standard crew rates are below; a 3-hour minimum applies to all jobs, including small moves, and the $150 deposit counts toward your final bill. The hourly rate depends on the crew size selected for your specific needs.
| Crew Size | Hourly Rate (Truck Included) |
|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $150/hour |
| 3 movers + truck | $200/hour |
| 4 movers + truck | $250/hour |
Payment is due when the job is done. We accept a variety of methods, including cash, credit/debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or certified funds. Please be aware that a processing fee may apply to card payments. This straightforward approach helps you plan your budget without hidden surprises.
How We Handle Your Long-Distance Relocation
The duration of a move is calculated from the moment our truck leaves our terminal in Northeast Philadelphia until unloading is done. A studio apartment typically requires 3–4 hours, a one-bedroom apartment takes 4–6 hours, a two-bedroom takes 6–8 hours, and a house can range from 8 to 12+ hours. These figures are approximate, as move duration is affected by factors such as moving heavy furniture, stairs, elevator access, and the distance the truck must park from the entrance.
The clock stops only when the unloading is complete; we do not bill you for the truck’s return trip to our Northeast Philadelphia terminal. By providing us with photos or video of your space in advance, we can provide a more accurate non-binding estimate regarding the time required for your specific layout. To speed up the process in busy areas, we recommend checking local parking regulations or reserving a spot for the truck near your entrance.
