Moving in Washington, PA
Washington sits along I-70 in the heart of Washington County. The city has a well-established downtown centered on the county courthouse, with residential neighborhoods that radiate outward into the surrounding townships. Washington and Jefferson College anchors the east side of town and brings faculty and student moves into the market. The housing stock ranges from older homes in the downtown core and near the college to newer development in the surrounding South Strabane, North Strabane, and Canton townships.
Washington County as a whole has seen growth tied to the energy industry and proximity to Pittsburgh, particularly in the northern townships near the Southpointe business park. Our movers handle the full range, from older downtown homes with narrow stairways to newer suburban construction with standard access.
Moving Services We Offer in Washington
Local Residential Moving
A local residential move from Washington covers Washington County and the surrounding communities of Canonsburg, McMurray, Peters Township, Charleroi, and California. Our movers load your furniture, boxes, and appliances onto the truck, transport them to your new address, and place everything in the rooms you choose, bringing quilted moving pads, dollies, and straps to every job. Most local moves in the area are completed in a single day. For residents downsizing or moving into a retirement community, our patient, right-paced senior moving services handle the household from first box to final placement.
Long-Distance and Interstate Moving
Washington sits on I-70, which connects east to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and west to Wheeling and into Ohio, with I-79 accessible just north of town. Central Van Lines coordinates long-distance and interstate relocations through our nationwide carrier network: your shipment is inventoried at pickup, tracked in transit, and delivered within the window we set, with every move covered under our federal operating authority and carrier liability. When a vehicle needs to travel with your household, we also arrange auto transport on open and enclosed carriers.
Commercial & Office Moving
We relocate offices, medical practices, and businesses across the Washington area, with the Southpointe business park, the Tanger Outlets area, and downtown offices all generating regular commercial moves. Our crews pre-label furniture and equipment, map the new floor plan, and move department by department so your commercial or industrial relocation keeps downtime short, working evenings and weekends when needed. We also coordinate corporate and employee relocations when staff move with the company, handling the planning through to final placement.
Packing & Unpacking
We offer full and partial packing services, bringing boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape and working room by room so every box is labeled by room and contents. At the destination, we unpack, place items where you want them, and remove all packing materials. For high-value pieces and settings that call for extra care, our white-glove delivery service covers padded transport, precise placement, and full setup in your new home or office.
Specialty & Piano Moving
Pianos, antiques, gun safes, and other heavy or fragile items need more than a standard moving pad. Our specialty moving crews use custom crating and heavy-duty straps to move high-value and awkward pieces safely. Grand and upright piano moving is handled with piano boards and trained technique rather than guesswork, so your instrument arrives in the same condition it left.
Storage & Business Logistics
If your new home or office is not ready on move-out day, we hold your belongings in climate-controlled storage at our warehouse facilities, wrapped, padded, and placed in secure vault containers for short-term or long-term needs, with delivery scheduled when you are ready. For business clients, those same warehouses support third-party logistics and warehousing, and our final-mile delivery teams handle receiving, staging, and scheduled delivery of inventory and equipment across the region.
