Best Chadds Ford, PA Moving Company
Chadds Ford sits on the Brandywine Creek where Delaware County meets Chester County, a place known for the Battle of Brandywine, the Wyeth family of artists, and rolling farm country. Our Tri-State crew moves families, retirees, and downsizers in Chadds Ford Township and in nearby Pennsbury Township across the creek. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how to handle the long lanes, big houses, and busy highways that come with a move here.
Chadds Ford is mostly owner-occupied single-family homes, and many of them are large. You will find stone farmhouses, newer estate homes on wooded lots, and houses tucked at the end of long private driveways. These moves take planning. A full-size truck may not fit down a narrow lane or turn around at the top of a steep drive, so we look at your property first and bring the right size truck, or use a smaller shuttle truck when we need to. We pad antiques, wrap heavy pieces, and protect old wood floors and doorways.
Not every home here is a big estate. There are also townhome and condo communities near Route 1 and Route 202, including the area around Painters Crossroads, where US 202 and US 322 meet. These neighborhoods often have HOA rules on truck parking and move hours, so tell us about them before moving day. We also plan around traffic on Route 1, which gets busy between Route 202 and Route 100, especially at rush hour and on weekends when visitors head to the museum and wineries.
Most of Chadds Ford is in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, and families here love the space and the quiet. Weekends mean breakfast at Hank’s Place, a visit to the Brandywine Museum of Art, or a walk at Brandywine Battlefield Park. If you are downsizing out of a longtime family home, our packing and unpacking service can help you sort and pack, and our storage service can hold what you are not ready to part with.
We also serve nearby Kennett Square, Glen Mills, and West Chester, so a move anywhere in this corner of the county is close to home for us. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Chadds Ford 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.

“I used A&M Friendly Movers in 2022. They were prompt, friendly and efficient. I was having a family crisis and was visibly upset, they were compassionate and continued unloading and listening to my friend who was helping. They understood and gave me well wishes. They took a small break and we made small talk. It was a very hot day and i was concerned for them over heating. Very professional and excellent packers! Nothing was broken or damaged. I would use them again and will recommend them to anyone”
