Best Cochranville, PA Moving Company
Cochranville is a small village where Route 10 and Route 41 cross in West Fallowfield Township, out in the farm country of western Chester County. Our Tri-State crew moves families in and out of the village and the country roads around it, and we know that moving here looks different from moving in a town. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we plan every Cochranville job around the property, not just the address. Before moving day, we ask about the driveway, the stairs, and any outbuildings so there are no surprises.
Homes here range from older houses right on Limestone Road and Gap Newport Pike to farmhouses and newer single homes on big lots. Many have long driveways, gravel lanes, and tight turns that a big truck cannot make. We look at the driveway before moving day and bring the right size truck, or use a smaller truck to shuttle if we need to. Older farmhouses often have steep basement stairs and narrow halls, so we pad everything and take apart big pieces when needed.
Route 41 carries a lot of truck traffic, and Route 10 is a busy two-lane road, so loading a truck along the road takes planning. We set up safely off the road when we can and plan start times so we are not fighting traffic. Rain can also turn a grass or gravel yard soft, so let us know about any spots where a truck should not park. We would rather walk a few extra steps than leave ruts in your lawn.
Country moves often come with more than a house. We can move furniture from a barn, workshop, or shed, and our junk removal service can haul away the things you do not want to take. If your new home is not ready yet, we also offer storage to hold your belongings for a while. We handle moves for families heading out of state too, and for folks moving closer to town after years on the farm. Our crew will take the time to sort out what goes, what stays, and what gets hauled away.
We also serve nearby Parkesburg to the north and Coatesville to the east. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Cochranville move like we are helping 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.

Electronics go to LLARC
Chester County residents can drop up to three TVs and computers per household at Lanchester Landfill without an appointment.
