Best Bellefonte, DE Moving Company

Bellefonte is one of the smallest towns in Delaware, tucked just off Philadelphia Pike north of Wilmington. The whole town covers less than a quarter of a square mile, and most of it sits within a few blocks of Brandywine Boulevard, its main street. Our Tri-State crew moves families and renters in and out of these blocks as part of our Tri-State moving service, so we know what moving day looks like here. Small town, small streets, and older houses all call for a little extra planning.

Bellefonte grew quickly in the 1920s and 1930s, and many houses in town date from that time. Expect older single homes with front porches, steep stairs, narrow halls, and basements and attics that are not built for big furniture. We protect railings, door frames, and floors, take apart beds and large pieces when needed, and plan the carry path before we lift anything. If a sofa or dresser will not make the turn, we tell you up front and work out another way.

Brandywine Boulevard has shops, a cafe, and curb parking, and the side streets like Bellefonte Avenue and Grove Avenue are fairly narrow. We figure out where the truck will fit ahead of time so we are not blocking the street or a neighbor’s driveway for hours. Philadelphia Pike and Route 3 connect to I-95 and I-495, which makes getting in and out easy, but rush hour can slow things down. We plan start times around it so your crew spends its time moving, not waiting in traffic.

Many Bellefonte moves are small to mid-size jobs, like a one-bedroom rental, a partial move, or helping a longtime owner downsize. Our packing and unpacking service can box up the whole house or just the kitchen and fragile items, and we offer storage if your dates do not line up. We are happy to take a few pieces across town or a whole house across the country. When the last box is in, treat yourself to dinner at the Bellefonte Cafe or a cone from The Ice Cream Shoppe on Philadelphia Pike.

We also serve nearby areas, including Wilmington and Philadelphia, so a move up or down I-95 is simple to plan. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Bellefonte 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 410-499-8777 for a free quote.
