Best Kennett Square, PA Moving Company
Kennett Square is a small, walkable borough in southern Chester County, known as the Mushroom Capital of the World, with a busy State Street downtown and Longwood Gardens just up the road. Our Tri-State crew moves families, renters, and retirees in the borough and the townships around it. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how moves work in this corner of the county, from tight borough blocks to farm lanes out in the country.
Homes near State Street and the older blocks around downtown are mostly Victorian twins, brick rowhomes, and single homes with front porches. Many have steep stairs, narrow halls, and tight turns into the upstairs bedrooms. We pad banisters and door frames, take apart beds and big pieces, and plan how each large item will come out before we lift it. Street parking downtown is limited and busy with shoppers and diners, so we pick a loading spot ahead of time. If a big piece will not make it down the stairs, we tell you before moving day, not in the middle of it.
Just outside the borough, in Kennett Township, New Garden, and East Marlborough, homes get bigger. You will find single-family subdivisions, townhouse communities with HOA rules, and country properties with long driveways. We match the truck to the property, follow your community’s move rules, and protect floors and railings in finished basements and new builds. Moving from a big house to something smaller in the borough? We can help with downsizing moves and partial moves too. If your new home is still being built, we can hold your things in storage until closing.
Timing matters here. The Mushroom Festival brings big crowds downtown each September, and Route 1 and Route 82 can get busy at rush hour. We help you pick a day and start time that avoids the worst of it. Longwood Gardens holiday and summer events can also add traffic on Route 1 near the gardens. Leaving the area? Our long-distance moving team can take you out of state, and we also offer packing, storage, and furniture-only moves.
We also serve nearby West Grove, West Chester, and Wilmington, Delaware, just over the state line. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2019, and we treat every Kennett Square move like we are moving our own neighbors. 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.
