Best Harrisburg, PA Moving Company

Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania and the seat of Dauphin County, set along the east bank of the Susquehanna River. Our York moving team moves renters, state workers, families and seniors all over the city, from high-rise apartments near the Capitol to rowhomes in Midtown and houses in Bellevue Park. We know the city’s one-way streets, tight blocks and busy bridges, and we plan each move around them.

Most of Harrisburg is rowhomes. In Midtown, Shipoke and the blocks around the Capitol, homes are tall and narrow with steep stairs, tight turns and small back yards. We pad banisters and door frames, take apart beds and dressers when needed, and use the right equipment for third-floor bedrooms. Some old rowhomes have stairways too tight for a box spring or a big sectional, and we tell you before moving day if a piece will not make it. Streets are narrow, and many blocks have metered parking or residential permit zones, so we look at your street before moving day and plan where the truck will stop.

About two out of three homes in the city are rented, so we do a lot of apartment moves. Downtown and Front Street buildings often have set move hours, one freight elevator and a management office that asks for insurance paperwork. We work with the building ahead of time so your move stays on schedule. We also handle single-family moves in Bellevue Park and Uptown, where homes are bigger and often have full basements. Moving out of state for a new job, or into the city for one? We do long-distance moves too, with the same crew handling your things from start to finish.

Traffic is part of every move here. I-81, I-83 and Route 322 ring the city, the river bridges back up at rush hour, and Front Street and Second Street get busy on weekdays and during events on City Island. We plan start times around it when we can. Short on time? Our packing and unpacking service can box up your whole home or just the fragile items, and we offer storage if your move-out and move-in dates do not match.

We also move families across the river and around the region, including Mechanicsburg, Hershey and Camp Hill. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2019, and we treat every Harrisburg move like we are moving our own family. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 717-844-5125 for a free quote.
