Best Shrewsbury, PA Moving Company
Shrewsbury is a small borough in southern York County, just a few miles north of the Maryland line. Main Street, the old Susquehanna Trail, runs right through the middle of town, and Interstate 83 runs right past it. The Stewartstown Railroad tracks still cross Main Street, and the old brick station sits along South Main. Our York County movers move families, retirees, and renters here all year, from the older homes downtown to the newer houses on the edge of the borough.
Many of the homes along North and South Main Street are older brick and frame houses in the Shrewsbury Historic District. They often have steep front steps, narrow staircases, and tight turns at the top. We pad banisters and door frames, take beds and large pieces apart when needed, and plan where the truck will park before moving day. Main Street carries a lot of through traffic, so we set up to keep the sidewalk clear and the job safe. If a dresser or couch will not make the turn on the stairs, we tell you before we start, not halfway through the day.
Off Main Street and out along Forrest Avenue (Route 851), you will find more single-family homes on bigger lots, many with basements and garages full of years of stuff. Shrewsbury has an older population than most towns, with a median age a little over 50, so we do a lot of downsizing and partial moves here. We can move just the pieces you are keeping, and our crew can help set up furniture in your new place.
Traffic is part of the plan. Most people here commute on I-83 toward York or Baltimore, and the interstate gets busy at rush hour. We try to set start times around the busy stretches when we can, and we give you an arrival window you can plan your day around. If you need help getting ready, our packing and unpacking service can box up the kitchen, the fragile items, or the whole house. We can also hold your things in storage if your closing dates do not line up.
We also move families in nearby New Freedom, Glen Rock, and Stewartstown, and we handle moves across the line into northern Baltimore County. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2019, and we treat every Shrewsbury 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 717-844-5125 for a free quote.
