What Our Norristown Moving Service Includes
CarePhilly Movers starts with furniture disassembly where needed, to ensure large frames and units can be moved safely through doorways and hallways. Once disassembled, our crew handles moving heavy furniture. We also offer packing services and piano moving. However, we remind customers that high-value items such as jewelry, documents, cash, and medications must stay with you and are not transported on our truck. After arriving at your new location, we perform furniture assembly.
Moving Rates and Estimates
We provide straightforward hourly rates for all small moves and large-scale relocations, maintaining a 3-hour minimum for every job. The clock starts when our truck leaves our Northeast Philadelphia terminal and stops once the unloading process is complete; while travel between addresses is billed, we do not charge for the return trip to the terminal, and there is no separate mileage charge.
| Crew Size | Hourly Rate (Includes Truck) |
|---|---|
| 2 Movers | $150/hour |
| 3 Movers | $200/hour |

Navigating Norristown: Parking and Permits
Norristown is the county seat of Montgomery County. US Route 202 crosses Norristown, running north on DeKalb Street and south on Markley Street. If you plan to use a dumpster or storage container, Norristown’s Public Works Department issues a Dumpster / Storage Container Permit, which records the container company and the drop-off and pick-up dates. How far the truck can park from your door is one of the factors that affects the time a move takes.
