Best Parkesburg, PA Moving Company
Parkesburg is a small railroad borough in western Chester County, right where the farm country starts to open up. Our Tri-State crew moves families in and out of town, from the older homes along Main Street and First Avenue to the newer houses just outside the borough line. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how these streets and roads work on moving day. Most moves here are short hops within western Chester County, but we also take families much farther. Every job starts with a free quote and a clear plan.
A lot of Parkesburg homes are brick twins, rowhomes, and older single homes built back when the railroad made Parkesburg a busy stop. That usually means steep stairs, narrow halls, and front doors close to the street. We pad railings and door frames, take apart beds and big furniture when needed, and plan the truck spot before we arrive. Some blocks have tight on-street parking, so it helps to talk with your neighbors about space for the truck.
The Amtrak Keystone station on Maple Street makes Parkesburg popular with people who commute to Philadelphia or Lancaster, so we move plenty of renters and first-time buyers. Outside the borough, in Sadsbury and Highland Townships, you will find newer subdivisions and homes on bigger lots with longer driveways. Route 10 and the Lincoln Highway can get busy at rush hour, and we plan start times around the traffic. If you are moving into a newer community with an HOA, send us the move rules and we will follow them.
Need help getting ready? Our packing and unpacking service can box up the whole house or just the kitchen and fragile items. If you are between homes, we also offer storage to hold your things until your new place is ready. We handle apartment moves, partial moves, and moves out of state as well. Whether you are moving one room or a whole house, we give you a clear plan for the day before our crew arrives, including when we will show up and how long the job should take.
We also serve nearby Coatesville, Cochranville, and Downingtown. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Parkesburg 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”

Moving in Parkesburg: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Parkesburg. Here’s what we plan around.
Check your collection zone
Parkesburg’s trash and recycling days depend on which part of the borough you live in, so confirm your day on the Borough site before move week.
No plastic leaf bags
Leaves and yard waste go in lidded cans or biodegradable paper bags, and the Borough asks residents not to use plastic bags.
Know the two highways
PA 10 follows Church Street through the east side of the borough, and PA 372 runs along Limestone Road and First Avenue through the center of town.
Watch covered-bridge clearance
Mercer’s Mill Covered Bridge, half a mile south of Christiana and south of PA 372, has 11 feet 6 inches of overhead clearance, so tall trucks should route around it.
Drop off electronics at LLARC
Chester County residents can drop up to three TVs and computers per household at Lanchester Landfill with no appointment, while mattresses carry a disposal fee.
