      Finding the best Pittsburgh moving company

      If you’re trusting a mover with your belongings, it’s crucial to find a reputable company. It’s also essential to find a mover that specializes in the services you need. When choosing a moving company, consider:

      • License and insurance: Movers within Pennsylvania must be licensed by the Public Utility Commission and are required to have insurance coverage. You can visit the website of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to look up intrastate movers. If your move is taking you across the Pennsylvania border, make sure your mover is registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation.
      • Move distance: Are you moving to Pittsburgh, away from Pittsburgh or within the city? Some movers only provide local moves, while others are equipped for long-distance, cross-country or international moves.
      • Size of home: There’s a mover in Pittsburgh for every size home — from small apartments to large, multiple-bedroom homes. If you have bulky or fragile items, such as pianos or fragile antiques, look for a mover experienced in transporting these types of valuable belongings.
      • Budget: Knowing your budget before interviewing movers helps you identify which moving services are in your price range.
      • Additional services required: You can choose to take on as much or as little of the moving work as you want. Some people want to pack and load their possessions themselves and only need a rental truck and a driver. Other Pittsburgh residents may prefer a full-service moving company that handles all aspects of the move, including packing and furniture assembly at the destination.

      Pittsburgh moving costs

      Pittsburgh moving costs range from $200 for small local moves to as high as $6,000 for cross-country moves. Local movers typically charge by the hour and the number of movers used, while long-distance movers charge by the distance of the move and volume of the items you’re moving.

      Type of moveCost range
      Local (within 100 miles)$200 - $2,000
      Long-distance (over 100 miles)$2,000 - $6,000

      Expect to pay additional costs for movers in Pittsburgh if:

      • You are moving to or from an apartment building without an elevator
      • There’s no parking within a specified distance of your origin or destination
      • You request extra stops to drop off or pick up items
      • You are moving large, delicate or valuable items, such as a piano or artwork
      • You ask for a full-service move, which includes all supplies and materials, packing and unpacking of your possessions, furniture disassembly and assembly, truck loading and unloading, transport and waste disposal
      • You decide to tip — for a local move, plan to tip about $5 per hour, and for a long-distance move, anywhere from $20 per employee to 5% of the total cost

      Try to get more than one written estimate before choosing a moving company in Pittsburgh. Make sure you know whether the estimate is binding or nonbinding. A binding estimate requires the mover to honor the quoted price unless you add items to the move or request additional services. A nonbinding quote may be different from your final price, but you never have to pay more than 110% of the quote to receive your possessions on the day of delivery.
