New Castle, DE Movers

The city of New Castle sits on the Delaware River a few miles south of Wilmington, and its historic district has about 500 old buildings packed into a few blocks around The Strand, Delaware Street, and the Green. Our Tri-State crew moves families, retirees, and renters in Old New Castle and the neighborhoods around it. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we plan every New Castle move around the age of the house and the width of the street.

Homes in the historic district were built anywhere from the 1700s to the early 1900s. Many are brick rowhomes and townhouses with steep, winding staircases, low doorways, and old wood floors. We wrap railings and door frames, lay down floor protection, and take apart beds and big furniture so they can make the turns. Antiques and family pieces get extra padding and careful handling. If something will not fit up the stairs, we let you know before we start, not in the middle of the job.

Parking is the other big factor in Old New Castle. Streets are narrow, curb space is limited, and the city sometimes restricts parking on Delaware Street for events. Check the city’s notices for your moving date, and we will plan where the truck can stop and how far we need to carry. Outside the historic district, along Route 9, Basin Road (Route 141), and Frenchtown Road (Route 273), homes are generally newer and loading is usually simpler.

New Castle sits close to US 13, I-295, and the Delaware Memorial Bridge, so moves to New Jersey or anywhere down the East Coast are easy to plan. Our long-distance moving team can handle those, and we also do local moves, downsizing moves, packing, and storage. With a median age near 49, a lot of our New Castle customers are downsizing from a larger home, and we are glad to move just the pieces you are keeping. After moving day, take a walk down to Battery Park and grab dinner at Jessop’s Tavern or Nora Lee’s on Delaware Street.

We also serve nearby areas, including Wilmington and Elsmere, so a move anywhere in New Castle County is close to home for us. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2019, and we treat every New Castle move like we are moving our own family. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 410-499-8777 for a free quote.
