❄️ Winter Moving Prep

For winter moves in Erie, consider snow removal services for both your current and new properties. Have salt available for walkways, and keep extra moving blankets on hand to protect items from moisture. Schedule your move with flexible timing to accommodate potential weather delays.

🏠 Historic Home Considerations

If you're moving to one of Erie's charming historic homes, measure doorways, stairwells, and hallways in advance. Many older Erie homes have narrower passages that may require special furniture handling techniques or even partial disassembly of larger items.

📋 Parking Permits

In downtown Erie and some historic districts, you may need parking permits for moving trucks. Contact the City of Erie Parking Authority in advance to secure necessary permits. Our team can advise on the best approach for your specific location.

💧 Humidity Protection

Erie's proximity to Lake Erie means higher humidity levels, especially in summer. For valuable wood furniture or electronics, consider additional protection against moisture. Our team uses specialized materials for humid conditions to ensure your items arrive in perfect condition.

How does Erie's weather impact moving plans?

Erie's weather can be unpredictable, particularly in winter with lake effect snow. We monitor weather forecasts closely before your move and have contingency plans for inclement conditions. Our trucks are equipped for winter driving, and our crews use extra protection measures for your belongings during rain or snow. We maintain flexibility with scheduling during winter months to accommodate possible weather delays.

Do you handle moves to and from Erie's college campuses?

Yes, we specialize in college moves for students, faculty, and staff at Penn State Behrend, Gannon University, Mercyhurst University, and LECOM. We understand academic schedules and can work around move-in/move-out dates, finals weeks, and holiday breaks. Our team is familiar with dorm and campus apartment layouts and has experience with the specific requirements of each campus.

Are there any special considerations for lakefront properties in Erie?

Yes, lakefront properties in Erie present unique moving challenges. These homes often have specific access considerations, and items may require additional protection due to proximity to water and higher humidity. Our team has experience with lakefront moves in Presque Isle Bay and along the Lake Erie shoreline. We use moisture-resistant packing materials and take extra precautions with electronics and wooden furniture.

How far in advance should I book for an Erie move?

We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance for most Erie moves. However, during peak seasons (summer months and around college semesters), earlier booking is advisable. For moves during winter months, we suggest booking 3-5 weeks ahead to allow flexibility around potential weather delays. We understand that sometimes moves happen unexpectedly, so we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when our schedule permits.

Do you move items to and from Erie storage facilities?

Yes, we regularly work with all major storage facilities in the Erie area. Whether you need items moved into storage, from storage to a new location, or between storage units, our team can help. We're familiar with the policies and layouts of Erie's storage facilities and can coordinate directly with facility management if needed.
