Moving costs depend on several factors: distance, home size, number of items, packing services needed, and move date. Local Bucks County moves are calculated based on how many movers and trucks are needed for your specific move. Long-distance moves are calculated by weight and mileage. We provide free, no-obligation in-home estimates that give you an accurate, binding quote with zero hidden fees. Call (215) 355-8787 to schedule your free estimate.

We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May-September) and at month-end when demand is highest. However, we often accommodate last-minute moves within a few days if our schedule allows. For long-distance or international moves, 4-6 weeks advance notice is ideal. The earlier you book, the more likely you'll get your preferred date and time.

Yes! We offer both full-service packing (we pack everything for you) and partial packing (we pack fragile items, you handle the rest). We bring all necessary supplies: boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, and specialized containers for dishes, wardrobes, and mirrors. You can also purchase packing materials from us if you prefer to pack yourself. Our professional packers are trained to protect everything from everyday dishes to valuable antiques.

Absolutely. Garttmeyer Moving is fully licensed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for interstate moves. We carry comprehensive insurance including cargo insurance, general liability, and workers' compensation. As an official National Van Lines agent since the 2000s, we also benefit from their nationwide insurance coverage. We're happy to provide certificate of insurance documentation upon request.

For safety and legal reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials including: gasoline, propane tanks, paint, chemicals, ammunition, fireworks, or perishable food. We also cannot move plants on long-distance moves (local is fine). Valuable items like jewelry, important documents, cash, and family heirlooms should be transported personally. We're happy to discuss any specific items you're concerned about during your estimate.

Yes! We specialize in moving challenging items including baby grand and upright pianos, gun safes (up to 1,000+ lbs), hot tubs, pool tables, antiques, and fine art. Our crews have specialized equipment like piano boards, heavy-duty dollies, and custom crating materials. These specialty moves require advance notice so we can assign the right crew and equipment.

Absolutely. Our 25,000 square foot heated warehouse facility in Southampton offers secure storage in private vaults. As an approved government warehouse, we meet strict standards for storing items including military relocations. Your belongings are never commingled with other customers' items. We offer short-term storage (days or weeks) and long-term storage (months or years) with flexible, affordable rates. The facility has 24/7 security monitoring, and you have access during business hours with advance notice. Storage can be added to any local or long-distance move.

We're based in Southampton, PA and specialize in Bucks County (Warminster, Doylestown, Newtown, Yardley), Montgomery County, and Philadelphia. For local moves, we serve all of Southeastern Pennsylvania. As a National Van Lines agent, we coordinate long-distance moves anywhere in the continental United States. We also handle international relocations to Canada, Europe, Asia, and worldwide destinations through our global moving network.

While rare, accidents can happen. Every move includes basic carrier liability coverage (60 cents per pound per item). We also offer full-value protection insurance for complete replacement cost coverage. If damage occurs, report it immediately - we have a claims process and work directly with you to resolve issues fairly and quickly. Our 100-year reputation depends on customer satisfaction, and we stand behind our work.

Yes! We understand most people work during the week. Weekend moves are available, though they tend to book quickly. We also offer early morning starts and can accommodate some evening deliveries. Keep in mind that many apartment buildings and condos have specific moving hours and elevator reservations - we'll help coordinate those logistics during your estimate.

If you're packing yourself: finish packing before the crew arrives, clearly label boxes with contents and destination room, and empty drawers from dressers and desks. Disconnect appliances and electronics. Create a clear path from your home to the truck. Set aside items you're transporting personally (valuables, medications, important documents). We'll protect floors and doorways, disassemble furniture as needed, and wrap everything carefully. If you opted for full-service packing, we'll handle it all - you just need to point us in the right direction!

Yes, this is one of our specialties. We provide patient, compassionate service for seniors transitioning to smaller homes, assisted living, or nursing facilities. We can help with downsizing decisions, coordinate estate sales or donations through Move For Hunger, and work at your comfortable pace over multiple days if needed. Many of our crew members have experience with senior moves and understand the emotional aspects involved. We also coordinate with family members and facilities to ensure a smooth transition.

We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), and certified checks. For local moves, payment is due upon completion. For long-distance moves, payment is due before unloading at your destination. We never ask for full payment upfront. Business accounts can arrange net-30 terms after credit approval.

Very much so! We're proud partners with Move For Hunger, having donated thousands of pounds of food to Bucks County families in need. When you move, we'll collect your unwanted non-perishable food and deliver it to local food banks at no charge. We also sponsor local youth sports teams, support Southampton community events, and employ local residents. After 100 years in business, giving back to our community is part of who we are.
