Pittsburgh Mover Reviews
Very polite. Punctual. Very careful removing items from the house.
These guys were great. They showed up early, worked hard and fast, and got my entire 20' Uhaul loaded in two hours. Great service!!
They were on time, courteous, careful and so helpful. We had a great team,
Yes, I would hire them again. They are very professional movers and friendly and courteous.
Very detail oriented and professional
Greg and Mario, AKA Snoop Dogg, were pleasant, knowledgeable, and very hard working. I’m still amazed at their perception to see what we had to load and be able to make it work, right to the roll-up door. These guys are outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone. Also, the communication from Mike was second to none.
Excellent help. Respectful, efficient, helpful.

Frequently asked moving questions in Pittsburgh
Real Advice from Pittsburgh Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Pittsburgh. (They’re really nice!)
"Pittsburgh tends to be extremely busy! With a lot of construction going on all year round, so you want to consider your routes carefully. One wrong turn can leave you stuck for over an hour. Knowing your routes and traffic times can save you a lot of time and money. Outside of that, you need a really good driver, especially if you are moving with a big truck, the roads are narrow in the (especially in the city), parking is usually a challenge, but we are able to work around this by properly planning."
- Movers of Pennsylvania
"If you are moving in or out of Pittsburgh, you will want to use the highways as much as possible for traveling. It's the quickest way to many parts of the city. Due to the number of hills in Pittsburgh, you also want to make sure you hire movers who are great at packing so your belongings stay secured during transport."

Major Neighborhoods in Pittsburgh
The “City of Bridges" blends its steel structures right where the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers converge, making Pittsburgh one of the most picturesque cities in the country. If you don't believe it, drive through the Fort Pitt Tunnel at night to check out Mt. Washington, PNC Park, and Acrisure Stadium (Heinz Field) all lighting up the rivers! Pittsburgh's old, winding roads are infamous, however, so check out local movers to get you situated as soon as possible.
Shadyside
Shadyside is located in East Pittsburgh, just north of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). A lot of that campus life spills into the town, an artsy, close-knit community with lots to do within walking distance: easy-access cafes, restaurants, and plenty of greenery. If you're planning a move anywhere along Ellsworth Avenue, Walnut Street, and S. Highland Avenue, it can be greatly helped with movers familiar with the one-way roads and cramped streets!
Lawrenceville
Located along the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Lawrenceville is one of the hippest destinations in Pittsburgh. With its distinctive architecture honoring the city's steelworker history, plenty of cool places dot the area, including daytime activities like The Clemente Museum, and cozy nighttime hangs like The Brillobox. There's also Schiller Park for the avid outdoorsmen! Pro movers know Butler Street's many nooks and crannies well if Lawrenceville is your next destination.
Squirrel Hill
Home to Chatham University and Carnegie Mellon, Squirrel Hill is only five minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. But with plenty of historic homes and super cute stores lining the neighborhood, it offers a comparable escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. When moving to Squirrel Hill, remember that Murray and Forbes are a business district that may pose an issue for your moving truck or container. It’s best to trust local Pittsburgh movers to get you to your destination without the stress.
South Side
South Side was called "Funky, feisty, historical, and full of character (and characters)" by Visit Pittsburgh, the state's official tourism website. The main area in South Side is East Carson Street, which runs for 1.5 miles along the southern bank of the Monongahela River and is stuffed with tons of businesses, restaurants and venues. There are always things to do! Professional South Side movers are just a click away when it's time to move, ensuring an easy transition to your new Pittsburgh home.

Travis and Jake went above and beyond to get some difficult items moved for me. They were skilled, professional, careful and really hard working. This was my second move with “them movers” and will be using them again in the future. Thank you Travis and Jake!
Jake and Vince did a good job helping me declutter my home. They worked hard, were personable and were willing to do what it took to get the job done. For example, they had to disassemble two shelving units in order to get them to properly fit Well done Jake and Vince. We appreciate your help.
There where on time. Very nice hard working men, thank you for all you have done for me. Being handicapped person, it hard to do what they do so easily. Thank you! So very much!
Jake and Travis were absolutely incredible! They went out of their way to help us navigate moving in to our new house. Our hardwood floors were supposed to be ready for moving in, but were unfortunately not set. Jake and Travis took the extra time to take everything through the back, and up the stairs. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Great communication. They were 5 minutes late due to traffic but called ahead to let me know and we’re still with in the one hour arrival time. Travis, Jale and Nate unpacked my POD with care. Asked where everything went and stacked my boxes with care. They were efficient and the move was complete within the time frame. Would recommend and use again.
Travis and Jake (I think that was Travis's coworkers name...long day...Sorry). Both men were professional, polite, and customer focused. I highly recommend Them Movers.
Oscar & Don did a fantastic job moving all of our furniture from the truck into the house. They were quick and efficient. My 2 year old was in the way and it did not seem to bother them at all. They were kind and polite and got the job done in less than 2 hours. & they even showed up earlier to get started! Very much recommend them.
Jeff and Andy from Them Movers did a terrific job and unloading the PackRat container with my furniture. They were on time and both extraordinarily polite. They handled all my possessions professionally and with great care, and they placed everything exactly where I asked them to within my home. I would highly recommend Jeff and Andy and Them Movers to handle moving labor help you may need.
They were on time, professional and hard working! They made sure to triple check on everything that was going in the truck first and on contents of possible fragile or important/sensitive items (to make sure to load and pack with care! Very efficient and beyond a huge help!
Travis & Jake were awesome. They did an exceptional job. These gentlemen are not good movers their great movers. I had an 8ft POD. They went over & above getting every item I wanted in the POD. I will recommend Them movers to all my friends & advised them to request Travis & Jake??.
Travis and Jake were hardworking, polite and professional. They were customer focused, and they were also on-time. Travis and Jake did the load up of the POD. We requested them for the off load.
The guys were on time and did a rely good job This is the 2nd time I used the SML company which inturn hooked me up with you guys. I would give them a 100 % great job. Thank you so much
