Moving in Allegheny County
Allegheny County has a population of over 1.2 million people spread across 130 municipalities outside of Pittsburgh. The geography is defined by hills, river valleys, and narrow roads that can make moving more complicated than in flat-terrain counties. Housing ranges from older brick row homes in communities like McKeesport and Aliquippa to large suburban homes in Fox Chapel, Mt. Lebanon, and Upper St. Clair. Many of the county's suburban communities were built on hillsides, with split-level homes, walkout basements, and steep driveways.

What Movers in Allegheny County Run Into
Hillside Properties and Steep Driveways
Much of Allegheny County is built on hills. Driveways can be steep, narrow, and sometimes too tight for a full-size moving truck. We identify these conditions during the pre-move survey and plan truck positioning or shuttle service accordingly.
Older Homes with Narrow Stairways
Communities like Dormont, Bellevue, and Crafton have older homes with narrow interior stairways, tight hallways, and heavy plaster walls. Our movers pad doorframes and railings to protect the home and the furniture.
