Best Claymont, DE Moving Company

Claymont is in the northeast corner of Delaware, right on the Pennsylvania line, and is part of unincorporated New Castle County. About 8,800 people live here. Philadelphia Pike (US 13) is the main street, with I-95 and I-495 close by and Naamans Road (Route 92) crossing town. The Claymont Station SEPTA stop on the Wilmington/Newark line gives residents a train north to Center City Philadelphia and south to Wilmington.

Housing here is a real mix. A little over half of households own and the rest rent, so we move a lot of apartments and townhomes as well as single-family houses. Older sections like Ashbourne Hills, Greentree, and Society Hill have established streets, while Darley Green is newer housing built where the old Brookview homes once stood. For apartments we plan for stairs, parking, and elevator reservations, and for houses we check the street before moving day so the truck has a safe spot. If your closing date and move-out date do not match, our storage service can hold your things in between.

History is part of everyday life in Claymont. The Claymont Stone School on Philadelphia Pike dates to 1805, the Darley House is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Robinson House at Naamans Road is one of the oldest buildings in the area. If you live in an older home, we take apart large furniture that will not fit through tight doorways and protect floors and door frames as we go. Claymont is also home to Archmere Academy, a private school, and public schools in the Brandywine School District. New residents can sign up for a card at the Claymont Library, which opened in 2013 and is run by New Castle County.

Many residents commute to Wilmington or Philadelphia, and the average trip to work is about 26 minutes, so we try to plan around rush hour on I-95 and Philadelphia Pike. Once you are in, try a cheesesteak at Claymont Steak Shop, barbecue at Sid’s at C26, or a beer at Apothecary Brewing. Moving farther away? We also handle long-distance moves.

We also serve nearby Bellefonte, Wilmington, and Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, just across the state line. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Claymont move like we are moving our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 410-499-8777 for a free quote.
