Best Dallastown, PA Moving Company
Dallastown is a small, walkable borough a few miles southeast of York, with Main Street (Route 74) running through the center and Pleasant Avenue (Route 214) heading north toward the city. It is home to the Dallastown Area School District campus on New School Lane and a busy calendar of small-town events. The town is named for George M. Dallas, who was Vice President under James K. Polk. Our York County moving team helps families, renters, and seniors move here all year.
Most homes close to Main Street are older brick and frame houses, twins, and rowhomes built near the sidewalk. Moving day often means front steps, narrow stairways, and tight turns. We pad railings and door frames, take beds and big furniture apart when needed, and bring the right dollies. Street parking is common, so we look at your block ahead of time and plan where the truck can sit without blocking the road. Heavy items like pianos, safes, and solid wood furniture get extra planning and extra hands so nothing gets scraped on the way out.
More than half of Dallastown households rent, so we move a lot of apartments, second-floor units, and houses split into flats. If your landlord has move-out rules or a key return time, tell us and we will plan the schedule around it. Buying your first home? Our packing and unpacking service can handle the whole house or just the kitchen and fragile pieces. We can also take apart and set up beds and tables at the new place.
Main Street carries a lot of traffic between York and Red Lion, and school traffic near New School Lane adds to it in the morning and afternoon. We set start times to avoid the busiest stretches when we can. Plan around town events too. The August carnival at Community Park and Christmas in Dallastown in November both bring extra cars into the center of town. If your date falls on one of those days, we will plan the route and parking with that in mind.
We also move families in nearby Red Lion, York Township, and Shrewsbury. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Dallastown 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 717-844-5125 for a free quote.
