Rowhome specialists since day one
Philly rowhomes mean tight staircases, narrow doors, and brick facades that take real care. Our crews move them every day — we know exactly how much room a sectional needs on that turn from 3rd to 4th floor.
Our South Philadelphia branch has handled more than 4,200 moves across the city since 2019. Rowhome staircases, Center City high-rises, narrow Kensington streets — we move Philadelphia one load at a time, and we know every tight corner from University City to Northeast Philly.
Same systems as our LA flagship — chain-of-custody barcodes, binding quotes, full-value insurance — but dispatched by people who actually know Philadelphia.

Three of the 4,200+ moves we've completed in Philadelphia.
"Old City loft to Rittenhouse Square apartment. 3 flights up both ends, narrow stairwell in both buildings. Quote was tight but honest, and they beat it by 45 minutes. Glass door got up clean."
"Fishtown rowhome with original 1890s doors and a vintage cast-iron sink. The crew treated it like it was theirs. They wrapped and moved it like it was museum-quality."
"From Northeast Philly to Upper Merion — long haul with stairs at both ends. They quoted me fair, showed up on time, and didn't nickel-and-dime me for travel time."

Philadelphia-specific questions. For general questions, see the local-moves FAQ.
Yes — that's about 70% of our local work. Narrow doors, tight staircases, rooftop access, original hardwood — we've done thousands. We'll always ask about stairwell width and any tight corners before quoting.
Yes. We coordinate with building management, reserve loading docks, and schedule freight elevators. Most Center City buildings require a signed agreement before move day — we handle that part.
We do those regularly. Mileage is quoted honestly — no hidden premium for leaving the city. We'll scout tricky driveway access if you're unsure about truck width.
Yes. We handle grands and uprights, vintage furniture, and heirloom pieces. We use proper padding and equipment — not a blanket and a guess.
The cost of a Philadelphia move depends mainly on home size, crew size, distance, and access. Stairs, long carries from the truck, elevator reservations, and packing all add time. A move from a Fishtown walkup can take longer than a ground-floor home in Rittenhouse Square. ABC Movers gives a binding quote before move day, so call 800-771-0151 or request a free quote online for an exact price.
Book your Philadelphia movers at least two to four weeks ahead, and earlier for summer or the end of the month. Weekends and the last days of the month fill up first because many leases end then. Mid-week dates are usually easier to get. If you're moving on short notice, call ABC Movers anyway, because we often have crews open for last-minute local moves.
Basic released-value coverage is included with your move, and you can buy more protection. Basic coverage pays according to an item's weight, not its replacement value, so it may not cover expensive items fully. For moves that cross state lines, the federal FMCSA requires movers to offer released-value and full-value protection, so you can choose your coverage level. ABC Movers explains every option on your quote, and we recommend listing high-value items before move day.
Yes, ABC Movers offers full and partial packing for Philadelphia moves. Our crew can pack the whole home or just the fragile items, like dishes, art, mirrors, and electronics, using proper boxes and padding. Many Rittenhouse Square customers pack their own clothes and books and leave the kitchen to us. Tell us what you want packed when you request a quote, so the extra time is in the price.
ABC Movers branches across California — same standards, locally crewed.
