Best Coatesville, PA Moving Company
Coatesville is the only city in Chester County, built along the West Branch of the Brandywine Creek and long known for the Lukens steel mill. Our Tri-State crew moves families and renters across the city and the townships around it, from older blocks off Lincoln Highway to newer homes on the edges of town. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how Coatesville moves come together.
A lot of Coatesville homes are older brick rowhomes, twins, and large single homes built when the steel mill was growing. That means steep stairs, narrow halls, and front doors close to the sidewalk. The city sits in a valley, so some streets are hilly too. We pad railings and door frames, take apart big furniture when needed, and plan the safest path from the house to the truck before we start carrying. If a big piece will not make the turn at the top of the stairs, we tell you up front.
Downtown along Lincoln Highway, many apartments sit above storefronts or inside older houses that were split into units. These moves often mean several flights of stairs, shared entrances, and tight street parking. We look at your block ahead of time and send enough crew to keep things moving. If you are moving into a newer home or townhouse just outside the city, we follow your community’s rules on parking and move hours. Many homes in Caln, Valley, and West Brandywine townships have garages and basements full of stored items, so we plan the time and truck size to match.
Getting around is easy. The Route 30 bypass runs just north of the city, Lincoln Highway runs through downtown, and Route 82 heads north and south. We plan start times around rush hour when we can, and we keep an eye on events downtown like First Fridays that bring extra cars and people to Lincoln Highway. Need help getting ready? Our packing and unpacking service can pack your whole home or just the fragile items, and we also offer storage and long-distance moves.
We also serve nearby Downingtown, Parkesburg, and the townships around Coatesville. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Coatesville 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.

“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”

“I had a great experience with A &M FRIENDLY MOVERS. The men were very professional, friendly, and efficient. It was not an easy move because I wasn’t entirely ready, but they handled it amazingly well. At the end of the move, I was a little nervous about how much it was going to cost.
