Appalachian Movers runs nine distinct services out of our Atherton Street base in State College, every one staffed by our own W-2 crews on our own six trucks. No load board, no broker handoff, no matched carriers — just a flat written rate and a Centre County mover who loads and drives the route.
What our Happy Valley crews handle
Each job below includes the truck, blankets, dollies, and $1M cargo coverage. Local jobs run two or three movers depending on house size, basement loads, and ridge-driveway access across the towns on our Centre Region service-areas map.
| Service | Best for |
|---|---|
| Local Moving | Jobs inside Centre County and along the I-99 / US-322 corridor — $115/hr two-mover or a flat written number. |
| Long-Distance Moving | State College to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, DC, NYC, and Cleveland on one binding price. |
| Residential Moving | Full houses across Park Forest, Boalsburg, and the Atherton Street corridor — basements and all. |
| Apartment & Condo | Penn State student turnover on College Ave, Beaver Ave walk-ups, and downtown high-rises. |
| Full Packing | Kitchens, china, and fragiles boxed room by room with materials supplied. |
| Climate-Controlled Storage | Held dry and stable through PA winters between closings, billed month to month. |
| Piano & Specialty | Uprights, baby grands, gun safes, and pool tables priced as their own line. |
| Loading & Unloading | Labor-only for your rental truck, POD, or U-Box — we bring pads, dollies, and the muscle. |
| Senior & Downsizing | Patient, paced moves for downsizers leaving long-held Bellefonte homes. |
Our trucks, our roster
Six trucks and uniformed W-2 movers. Trent Snyder dispatches, Caleb Vaughn and Jordan Reese chief the crews, and Hannah Eckert runs the office. The team that quotes is the team that arrives — no handoff, ever.
How a written quote works
We price the move before the first box leaves the basement, so there are no surprises at the curb. The form takes a minute and Hannah turns it around the same business hour.
- Give us the basics. Home size, pickup and drop neighborhoods, basement or stairs, target date.
- We size the crew. Two or three movers and the right truck for the inventory.
- You get it in writing. A flat rate for local work, a binding number for any long-distance lane.
- We lock the date. Reserve the slot — winter jobs get a mid-morning start once roads have been salted.
