01 Overview

Fishtown and Northern Liberties have changed fast, and the moving work has changed with them. The rehabbed rowhomes off Frankford Avenue, Girard, and the blocks down toward the river look great, but a developer’s finished third floor and a tucked-in new staircase make for a real moving puzzle. Pro Tri State works this corner of the city constantly, and we plan around the floors and the stair widths instead of being surprised by them on the day.

Moving in this part of the tri-state? Philadelphia movers is on these streets just about every week.

The blocks here are short and narrow, and parking turns over slowly. We scout your street before the move, and where a full-size truck won’t sit cleanly we stage on a wider cross street and shuttle the load in. If your block qualifies, Gina arranges a temporary no-parking permit so there’s a clear loading zone waiting at your door instead of a circling-for-a-spot scramble.

A lot of Fishtown moves don’t stay in Fishtown, either. Plenty of them cross the Betsy Ross or Ben Franklin Bridge into New Jersey, and that’s no stretch for us, we’re licensed in PA, NJ, and DE and over those bridges daily. The toll is built into your flat rate, so crossing the river doesn’t change the number. One written price, our own trucks, our own crew start to finish.

We move Fishtown

Week after week our crews work Fishtown, so the parking permits, the building access, and the tight streets are second nature long before the truck arrives. Every quote is flat-rate and on paper, with nothing slipped into the fine print.

02 Why us

The name on the contract is the name on the truck

When you book Pro Tri State, it is our paperwork you sign, our rig that parks on your block, and our own movers carrying the load — nobody hands your job off. A broker does the opposite: auctions it to the cheapest bidder of the week, then disappears.

What a broker does
  • Sells your move to whichever carrier underbids the rest this week
  • Lets the price climb on move day with fees nobody mentioned up front

“Shout out to Vince and Luis for their help moving a very heavy printing press and table today with very short notice. They calmly trouble shot some disassembly and very tight doorways and reassembled everything in it's new location. Great team, thank you!”

What Fishtown movers ask us

I'm in a rehabbed rowhome off Frankford Avenue with a finished third floor. Will that slow the move down?
A lot of the rehabs in Fishtown and Northern Liberties added a third floor or a roof-deck level, which means an extra flight and sometimes a narrow new staircase. We account for the floors and the stair width when we set your flat rate, so the price you sign reflects the real layout, not a guess. We bring stair-climbing straps for the heavy pieces.
Parking on these little Fishtown blocks is brutal. How do you handle the truck?
The side streets off Frankford and Girard are short and tight, so we check your block ahead of time. Where the truck won't fit cleanly, Sean stages it on a wider nearby street and the crew shuttles in. If your block qualifies, we'll arrange a temporary no-parking permit to keep a loading spot open at your door.
Can you move me from Fishtown across the river to a place in New Jersey?
Yes. We hold authority in PA, NJ, and DE, so a Fishtown-to-Jersey move over the Betsy Ross or Ben Franklin Bridge is an ordinary day for us, same crew loading and unloading. The bridge toll is part of the written quote, so there's no add-on when we cross.
