Pittsburgh Mover Reviews
Wonderful movers who were on time, efficient, careful, and polite. I would use 3B again!
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,
Very detail oriented and professional
The guys were great! They worked so hard and packed the truck very efficiently (like tetris pieces). Our job took longer than expected, but they were great and even came back after finishing up another job. Very hard workers and we cannot complement them enough!
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.

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.

The least stressful thing about selling my house and moving was Them Movers. Easy to schedule. Accommodating. Dependable. Respectful of my belongings and the home I was selling. And experienced; they saved me $1k being able to pack everything into one truck. Worth every penny. Thanks, fellas!
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.
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.
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!
Brandon and Harrison were our helpers. They were on time, polite and got right to work. Walked through the house withh us to see what was going and started right in. They were mindful of our furniture and belongings. I would highly recommend them Thanks guys, made our day so much easier! Karen
Bob & Joe were great workers with a positive attitude. They showed up on time & worked hard. They had no issues with any of the items moved. I highly recommend them.
Mike and Vincent were on time, professional, courteous and did a wonderful job packing my boxes and other items into a pod. They were very careful with my larger items and made sure I had everything I wanted into the pod. I highly recommend Them Movers and will use them again in the future. Darlene Crivaro
Amazing work by Travis and Jake! They were on time, called with 30-min. notice, prepared and worked hard the whole time (4 hours!!) Thank you so much for all your help, with all those trips in and out of the pouring rain for extra hours. I appreciate your attention to detail and carefulness. Definitely would use again!
Travis, Mike, Vince and Nate did a great job. They were professional and worked efficiently and very organized. Concerned about not damaging walls, etc. Very nice company to deal with and would definately use them again.
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.
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.
Advance communication was very good and the workers arrived on time. They had a positive attitude, treated our home and belongings with respect and they worked efficiently. We would hire them again.
