Reading, PA Movers

Reading is the biggest city in Berks County, set along the Schuylkill River with the Pagoda watching over it from Mount Penn. Our Tri-State crew moves families and renters all over the city, from the big Victorian homes of Centre Park to the apartments downtown and the rowhome blocks in the Northeast. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how Reading’s older streets work on moving day. Whether you are moving across the street or across the state, we plan the details before our truck shows up.

Reading is a rowhome city. Many homes are two and three stories tall, with steep, narrow stairs, tight turns, and front doors that open right onto the sidewalk. We pad railings and door frames, take apart beds and big furniture when needed, and measure the tough spots before we start. If a piece will not make the turn at the top of the stairs, we will tell you before we start, not halfway through the day. Many Reading basements have low ceilings and steep steps too, so let us know about any heavy items down there.

Parking is the other big part of a Reading move. Most blocks have tight street parking, and some streets are narrow one-ways where a truck needs a plan. Check the parking rules on your block early, and let us know if there is an alley or side street we can use. Downtown near Penn Street, many apartments are in older buildings with small elevators or no elevator at all, so we plan extra trips and work with building managers on move times and any insurance paperwork they need.

More than half of Reading homes are rented, so we do lots of apartment moves, partial moves, and first-home moves. Our packing and unpacking service can handle the whole place or just the fragile things. If you are moving out of the area, we also handle long-distance moves. Traffic on Route 422 and the bridges over the Schuylkill can back up at rush hour, so we plan start times around it.

We also serve nearby Pottstown and New Holland. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2019, and we treat every Reading 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.
