OUR TURN-KEY SOLUTION.
A Pittsburgh Moving Company Built on Referrals Since 2012
Make Moves, your premier Pittsburgh moving company, was founded in 2012 by cousins John and Matt Gillespie. What began as a small operation helping people load and unload their U-Hauls quickly grew into a thriving business through referrals and repeat customers. In 2015, Make Moves took a significant leap by obtaining our PUC license and authority, allowing us to operate our own trucks and truly make moves in the industry.
With 4.9 stars across 479+ Google reviews, we’re one of the highest-rated moving companies in Pittsburgh. We handle full-service moves, moving-only (we bring the truck and crew, you pack), labor-only help, packing and unpacking, commercial and office moves, and single-item moves. Based in Carnegie, we serve Allegheny, Washington, Butler, Beaver, Westmoreland and Armstrong counties, and can take moves anywhere in Pennsylvania. No two moves are the same, so every estimate is built around your home, your timeline, and your stuff.
How Our Moving Process Works
RESEARCH
The first step in booking a Pittsburgh Mover. Read over the website. Check out our Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, or Angie's List reviews. Make sure you feel comfortable with us and how we do things. Be sure to check other Pittsburgh moving companies you are shopping have all necessary licenses, are insured, and carry workers compensation polices.
Request
When you're ready to request an estimate, either submit your information below or call into our office. Depending on the size and complexity of your job we do offer free in-home/office consultations in and around the Pittsburgh area. Once we have all of your information, we send an estimate directly to your email.
Review
Once you get your moving estimate, please review all information to confirm the details we discussed - we want to be accurate. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any follow-up questions. We also offer moving customer reviews on our site.
BOOK!
If everything looks good, simply click the green “ACCEPT” button in the upper right-hand corner of your estimate. Once you’ve accepted your estimate, you can review it at anytime via email. Of course, if you choose to decline, that's okay, too. There are no deposits or obligations of any kind. We'd just prefer a heads-up!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do movers cost in Pittsburgh?
Most local moves are billed hourly, based on the number of movers and trucks your move needs, with a minimum number of hours. Your estimate spells out the exact rate and minimum before you book, and there are no deposits or obligations. The clock runs from the moment the crew arrives on site until the paperwork is signed and cleanup is done. Lunch breaks on longer moves are off the clock and never billed to you.
How do I get a moving estimate?
Call (412) 626-5990 or request an estimate online. For larger homes or offices we offer a free in-home walkthrough. Once we have the details, the estimate goes straight to your email, and you can accept it with one click to book.
What areas does Make Moves serve?
We're based at 525 E Main St in Carnegie, PA, and serve Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities across Allegheny, Washington, Butler, Beaver, Westmoreland and Armstrong counties. We can also handle intrastate moves anywhere in Pennsylvania.
What's the difference between full-service, moving-only and labor-only?
Full-service: we handle everything, from packing and loading to transport, unloading and setup. Moving-only (our most popular option): we bring the truck, supplies and crew; you pack your boxes and we do the rest, including breaking down and reassembling beds and mirrors. Labor-only: you provide the truck, pod or storage unit and we provide the muscle. Labor-only is also the right fit for rearranging furniture within your home.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Make Moves LLC is a Pennsylvania PUC-licensed household goods carrier (Utility Code 8917997) and USDOT 2864360, with cargo and liability insurance on file with the PUC. Ask any mover you're considering for the same.
Do you offer packing and unpacking?
Yes. Full packing and unpacking is part of our full-service option and can be added to any move. We bring the boxes, paper, tape and wrap.
Do you do commercial or office moves?
Yes. We move offices and small businesses throughout the Pittsburgh area, including after-hours and weekend scheduling to limit downtime.
Can you move a single heavy item?
Yes. Pianos, safes, appliances, exercise equipment and oversized furniture are common single-item jobs for us.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks is ideal, and more for end-of-month and summer dates, which fill first. That said, call us. We can often accommodate same-week and next-day moves.
What if something gets damaged?
Our crews photograph any pre-existing damage before the move begins and disclose anything that happens during the move while they're still on site. If we cause damage, we tell you immediately and work to make it right.
Do you work with real estate agents?
Yes. Many Pittsburgh realtors recommend Make Moves to their clients. If you're an agent, reach out about our realtor partner program.
