Whole-home moves for Philadelphia houses, start to finish in a day
A house carries far more than an apartment ever does, and a Philadelphia house carries it in places a mover has to think about — the basement that floods every nor’easter, the third-floor back bedroom, the stoop you can’t get a dolly up, the dining set that’s lived in the same rowhouse front room for twenty years. Pro Tri State has been moving Delaware Valley homes since 2014: brick rowhouses in South Philly and Bella Vista, twins out in Media, split-levels up in Bensalem, and colonials across the river in Cherry Hill and Wilmington. Each one of those is a different kind of move, and a crew that’s only ever worked suburban driveways tends to find that out the hard way on a city block.
Across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, our Philly moving crew runs every move on one written number, with no add-ons after the truck loads.
The crew knows the stairs before they get here
What separates a clean house move from a long, scraped-up one is whoever’s carrying the furniture down the stairs. Pat Doyle leads our rowhouse and walk-up crews, and his people know the trinity winder, the narrow turn at the bottom of a stoop, and the Manayunk hill block where the truck stages up the street. We take apart what needs taking apart, pad the tight spots, and protect your floors on the way through.
One price, however your home is built
Go by the hour — $155 for two movers, $215 for three, with nothing to burn through since there’s no minimum — or settle on the flat rate, which opens at $399 on a small home and gives you the figure before we touch the first box. Both numbers come to you and the lower one is the one you pay.
- Same crew loads in Philadelphia and unloads at the new address, in-state or across the bridge
- Beds, sectionals and dining sets taken apart and rebuilt at the other end
- Floor and stair protection on every job — hardwood, carpet, marble stoop
- Cross-river moves to NJ and DE under one company, bridge tolls and all
- Up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment, $0.60/lb released-value standard, full-value optional
Tell us the home and the destination, in the city or across the bridge, and we’ll quote it honestly both ways. A $125 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the bill.
What’s included
- A full house crew on one of our own trucks — owner-run, in uniform, no day labor pulled off a corner and nothing subcontracted out
- Price it by the hour at $155 for two movers or $215 for three, or take a flat rate that starts at $399 on a small home — you go with whichever total runs lower
- Pads, shrink wrap, dollies, wardrobe boxes, and floor runners that keep hardwood and stair treads clean while we carry
- Beds, sectionals, dining sets — anything that won't make a tight rowhouse turn intact comes apart and goes back together at the other end
- A crew that knows the real housing stock here: trinity winder stairs, third-floor walk-ups, Manayunk hill addresses, and the suburban colonials across the river
- Up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage on every shipment, with $0.60/lb released-value as standard and full-value available
How we set the price
Following a short walkthrough or video estimate, we set one flat rate from the inventory you actually have — never an hourly clock. Whatever that sheet reads is the entire price, with nothing tacked on later.
