moving costs in philadelphia
How much does a move cost in philadelphia?
What typically changes the price?
- Home size and packing choice. Full-home packing takes more time and materials than fragile-only or DIY.
- Access from truck to door. Long walks, stairs, and elevator windows slow the pace; we factor that in up front.
- Parking and staging. If curb space is tight, we may use a smaller vehicle or shuttle and explain the time impact.
- Season and flexibility. End-of-month and peak dates limit capacity; flexible windows can reduce cost.
What are the main Philadelphia cost factors?
- Raises price: full-home packing, long carries from truck to door, multiple stair flights, strict elevator windows, heavy or oversized items.
- Lowers price: fragile-only packing, labeled rooms, temporary no-parking permits, flexible arrival window.
- Billing: clear hourly or flat rate, any minimums, travel/fuel if used, materials estimate.
Philadelphia Moving Rules & Requirements
Many Philadelphia properties especially in Center City, University City, Old City, and Rittenhouse ask for a mover’s insurance document (COI) and a reserved time for the loading dock or service elevator.
We contact your manager or HOA, send the document with their wording, and book the time slot. On move day we protect floors, doorways, and walls.
Do HOAs and buildings require approvals?
Often yes. Share your manager’s contact, any forms, and access or garage codes. We’ll handle it and keep your schedule intact.
What about temporary no-parking permits?
Dense blocks and busy corridors benefit from temporary no-parking signs so the truck can stage legally. We’ll advise when it helps and align timing with your building’s move window.

Philadelphia Moving Parking & Access
From narrow one-way streets in South Philly to tight blocks in Center City and hilly roads in Manayunk, we plan where the truck will stage and how far items must travel. For condos, we use the designated loading area and schedule around service-elevator windows and building calendars. We confirm the approach in advance and reflect any time impact in your quote.
What if a truck can’t park close?
We plan an alternate approach, smaller vehicle, different loading point, or adjusted timing so the day keeps moving. We explain it in advance and reflect any time impact in your quote.

We move special items at Philadelphia
Special pieces deserve a deliberate approach. When you tell us about pianos, large safes, fine art, hot tubs with proper access, or gym equipment, we plan the route in and out of the home, protect floors and doorways, and bring the right equipment. If crating is the safest option for a glass or marble top, we will recommend it and include it in your written plan.

How do you move a piano safely in Philadelphia?
We confirm stair or elevator limits, protect surfaces, consider hill grade and access, and assign a piano-experienced crew. If a large truck can’t stage close, we use a smaller vehicle safely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Philadelphia Moving
Will you handle my building or HOA paperwork?
Yes. Many Philadelphia properties, especially in Center City, University City, and Old City require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and scheduled dock or elevator time. We contact your building manager directly, provide the COI with their wording, and confirm your reservation so move day runs smoothly.
Do I need a temporary no-parking permit?
Usually, yes, especially in Center City, South Philly, and Manayunk where streets are narrow and parking is tight. We’ll advise when it’s required and help you coordinate with the city’s permit office to secure the space for the truck.
How do you handle moves in narrow rowhome streets?
We plan smaller truck staging when access is limited, often using a shuttle or box truck for tight blocks. We measure the distance to your door and include it in your time estimate so there are no surprises.
Can you move out of high-rise apartments?
Absolutely. We’re familiar with Rittenhouse, Logan Square, and University City towers that require service elevator scheduling and floor protection. We coordinate with building management in advance to keep your slot locked in.
Do you move antique or historic furniture?
Yes, we handle delicate or historic pieces with specialized padding and protective coverings. Many Philadelphia homes have tight staircases or uneven floors; we plan routes and use the right equipment to keep everything safe.
Can you pack everything for me?
Yes. Choose full-service, partial, or fragile-only packing. We bring all materials and tailor the plan to your timeline and budget.
What if I’m moving into or out of a nearby suburb?
We handle moves throughout Greater Philadelphia, King of Prussia, Ardmore, Conshohocken, Cherry Hill, and beyond. We factor in travel, tolls, and parking so your quote stays transparent.
