Best Pottstown, PA Moving Company
Pottstown is the main town in western Montgomery County, sitting where the Manatawny Creek meets the Schuylkill River. Our Tri-State crew moves families and renters all over town, from the blocks along High Street to the North End and the East End. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how Pottstown’s older streets and homes work on moving day.
A lot of Pottstown housing is older twins, rowhomes and single homes built on a tight grid of streets. That can mean steep front steps, narrow staircases and tight turns into bedrooms. We pad railings and door frames, take apart beds and large furniture when needed, and measure the tricky pieces before we carry them. Many blocks have only street parking, so we check your street ahead of time and bring the right size truck. On blocks with parked cars on both sides, a smaller truck and an extra trip can save a long carry. If a piece will not make the turn at the top of the stairs, we tell you before we start.
Downtown along High Street, many buildings have apartments above the storefronts. Those moves often mean a long flight of stairs and a short carry from the curb, and High Street traffic keeps moving all day, so we plan the loading spot with care. If you are moving into a newer apartment complex or a townhouse community, send us the building or HOA rules and we will work around them. We also move a lot of people from the borough into the newer neighborhoods around it, including the Pottsgroves and North Coventry, and back again.
Pottstown sits right on US 422, with Route 100 running north and south, so it is easy to reach and easy to leave. We do a lot of moves between Pottstown and the Pottsgroves, Limerick and Phoenixville, plus long moves heading out of state. Need help getting ready? Our packing and unpacking service can pack the whole home or just the kitchen and breakable items. We also handle partial moves and furniture-only jobs.
We also serve nearby towns, including Limerick and Phoenixville, and we make regular trips up 422 toward Reading. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Pottstown 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.
