Real Feedback From Our Pittsburgh Customers
Families, renters, and local businesses trust us for respectful crews, clear communication, and moves that actually go as planned.
J
We moved from a third‑floor walk‑up in Shadyside to a house in Aspinwall. The crew was early, worked nonstop, and didn’t scratch a single wall. Worth every penny.
L
I booked Home Sweet Moving for an out‑of‑state relocation to Columbus. They handled the long drive professionally, updated me along the way, and delivered everything intact.
M
It rained all day during our move from Dormont. The movers wrapped every piece of furniture in plastic and kept going without complaint. Amazing service.
C
Our office moved from downtown Pittsburgh to Cranberry. The team labeled every desk and server, worked around our business hours, and had us operational the next morning.
D
Really solid job overall. The movers were friendly, worked hard in the July heat, and made a stressful apartment move much easier than I expected.
T
I had a last‑minute change of closing date. Home Sweet Moving adjusted their schedule without drama, loaded everything fast, and saved the day.
S
We added packing service two days before the move. They showed up with boxes and wrap, packed our whole kitchen and living room perfectly, and nothing broke.
B
They moved a heavy upright piano from our basement in Mount Lebanon to a second‑floor living room in Fox Chapel. No damage, no stress, just skill.
C
Moving into a high‑rise near PNC Park had strict elevator rules and loading dock hours. The crew navigated it all perfectly. Will recommend to anyone.
F
Honest quote, quick email replies, and a hardworking team on moving day. They clearly take pride in their work — not just rushing to finish.
A
The packing team was a lifesaver. They wrapped our glassware, framed art, and electronics carefully and labeled every box by room. Unpacking was actually easy.
R
From the first phone call to the final box being unloaded, everyone was polite, responsive, and professional. It felt like a company that actually cares.

FAQ
Answers to Your Moving Questions
Everything you’ve wondered about hiring pros in Pittsburgh — from pricing to pianos.
How far ahead should I reserve my moving date?
We suggest booking at least 10–14 days in advance, especially from May through September. Need a last‑minute move? Call us — we often have same‑day or next‑day openings.
Do I need to supply my own boxes and tape?
Nope. Every full move includes free moving blankets, shrink wrap, and packing tape. If you want boxes or bubble wrap, we sell them at low cost.
What kind of insurance comes with my move?
Basic liability coverage is included. For valuable art, instruments, or antiques, ask about our enhanced valuation plan before moving day.
How is my final price calculated?
Local moves are hourly based on crew size and truck. Long‑distance moves use weight and mileage. You’ll get a written, all‑in estimate before we start.
Can you really move a pool table or piano?
Absolutely. We have crews specially trained for pianos, pool tables, large safes, and hot tubs. Just tell us when you book so we send the right team.
What if something gets scratched or dented?
Report any damage within 48 hours and we’ll start a claim immediately. We photograph everything before loading, and most claims close within a week.
Do you take furniture apart and put it back together?
Yes, at no extra cost. Bed frames, dining tables, desks, bookshelves, and most modular furniture — we disassemble and reassemble as needed.
Is there a minimum hourly charge?
Most local moves have a two‑hour minimum. Your move coordinator will confirm the exact minimum based on crew size and your location.
Do you handle moves to other states?
We do. Our long‑distance service includes a dedicated coordinator, GPS tracking, and scheduled delivery windows to all 48 contiguous states.
What won’t you move?
We cannot take hazardous chemicals, gasoline, propane tanks, perishable food, live plants, or firearms. Ask your coordinator if you’re unsure about an item.
Do you offer temporary storage?
Yes. We partner with local climate‑controlled storage facilities. Short‑term and long‑term options available — we’ll even deliver your items directly to the unit.
How should I prepare the day before my move?
Label boxes by room, set aside valuables you’ll carry yourself, clear hallways and doorways, and reserve parking for the truck. We’ll email a full prep checklist after booking.
Does winter weather in Pittsburgh affect your service?
We move year‑round. Our trucks are equipped with snow tires and we use ice‑resistant walkways. If conditions become unsafe, we’ll reschedule at no penalty.
