Best Havertown, PA Moving Company
Havertown is the main community in Haverford Township, just west of Philadelphia in Delaware County. It grew up around old rail and trolley lines, and today it is a close-knit place of tree-lined blocks, busy corner business districts, and a strong Irish-American heritage. It sits about nine miles west of Center City. Our Tri-State crew moves families in and out of Havertown all year as part of our Tri-State moving service.
Most Havertown homes are twins and single homes built in the early and middle 1900s, many in brick or stone. Neighborhoods like Brookline, Oakmont, Manoa, Llanerch, and Chatham Park each have their own feel, but the moving challenges are much the same. Expect narrow front stairs, tight second-floor landings, and basements with low ceilings. We pad railings and door frames, take apart beds and dressers when needed, and tell you up front if a big piece will not make a turn. We also lay down floor runners so older hardwood floors and stair treads stay protected while we work.
Parking is the other big piece. Many Havertown streets have houses close together and cars parked on both sides, and some twins share a driveway. We ask about your block before moving day so we can pick the right size truck and a safe place to load. Moving near Brookline Boulevard or the shops around Eagle Road and Darby Road? We plan around store traffic and try to load early, before the day gets busy.
A lot of our Havertown moves are families moving up to a bigger house, or empty nesters moving to something smaller. We can handle both. Our packing and unpacking service can box up the whole house or just the kitchen and breakables, and we can move just a few large items if that is all you need. Families here like having the Haverford Reserve trails and the Pennsy Trail close by, plus quick trips into the city. Whatever the size of your move, we give you a clear plan before the truck shows up.
We also move people all over the Main Line and Delaware County, including Ardmore and Drexel Hill. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Havertown 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”
