Apartment and high-rise moving across the Main Line
Apartment moves live or die on the details a house move never has — the freight elevator that’s only free until noon, the COI the building won’t waive, the loading dock you share with the unit two floors up. Premier Movers handles those buildings every week, from the King of Prussia high-rises near the mall to the older walk-ups around Suburban Square in Ardmore and the apartments tucked behind Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr. We’re a licensed Pennsylvania mover with our own crews and trucks, so the people who reserve your elevator are the same people who carry the couch.
Main Line neighbors trust Main Line moving crew for a premium move on one written flat rate.
Pricing matches the rest of our local work: $145/hr for two movers and a truck, $195/hr for three, with the one-hour minimum waived. Most studios and one-bedrooms come out cheapest on our flat rate that opens at $395 — we run both numbers and give you the lower one. A $150 deposit holds the date and credits to your final bill.
Before move day we square away the building side:
- Certificates of insurance naming your building as additional insured, filed ahead of time
- Freight-elevator and loading-dock reservations coordinated with property management
- Wall pads, door-jamb guards and floor runners through shared lobbies and corridors
- Stair-climbing hand trucks for the second- and third-floor walk-ups common in older Main Line buildings
Parking is its own battle here. On tight blocks in Ardmore or near downtown Wayne we’ll pull a township permit so the truck isn’t circling for a space two streets over, and we time KOP high-rise moves around the building’s elevator window so a crew isn’t standing idle on your clock. Weather gets factored in too — an icy walk after a January nor’easter changes how we stage the carry, and we’d rather plan for it than slip on it. Every piece is shrink-wrapped and padded, covered at $0.60/lb standard with full-value protection and up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment available. Tell us your building’s name, its move rules and your floor, and we’ll line up the COI, the elevator and the crew before the day arrives.

How the price gets set
We give you one flat rate on paper after a short walkthrough or video estimate, drawn from the inventory you actually have rather than a clock running by the hour. The price on the sheet is the whole price, with nothing tacked on later.
