Movers in Scranton, PA
Scranton moves come with terrain that catches people off guard. The Hill Section, Green Ridge, and North Scranton all have steep grades and narrow residential streets where truck placement takes planning. Older neighborhoods like Hyde Park and South Side have row homes and twin houses with the tight staircases and low clearances common to early 20th-century construction. And with the I-81 corridor running right through the city, a significant share of moves here are long-distance — people heading to New York, Philadelphia, or beyond. Northeastern Movers operates out of our Scranton office at 105 W Market Street and handles both. We know the city and we know the routes.

Hiring professionals can be a practical solution in many situations. Homeowners who can’t physically do the lifting and maneuvering themselves may depend on a professional moving company, especially if they don’t have family or friends nearby to help. Other times, busy families don’t have time to pack everything up the way it needs to be done for safe transportation. Still others just hate moving and would rather pay a pro than do it for them!

The Best Movers In Scranton, PA
Scranton has no shortage of moving companies, but the difference shows up on the day. We show up on time, with the right truck for the job, and with a crew that has handled the specific challenges this city presents, steep driveways, narrow borough streets in adjacent areas like Dunmore and Taylor, older apartment buildings near the University of Scranton with limited elevator access, and commercial moves out of downtown storefronts along Lackawanna Avenue. Our pricing is disclosed upfront and doesn’t change at delivery. If something about your move is going to cost more, a long carry, a piano, a tight staircase we tell you before we start.
Scranton’s housing market keeps movers busy year-round
With over half of Scranton residents renting and home values rising fast, demand for professional movers here stays consistently high. A large share of the city’s housing stock is pre-1960, think narrow staircases, tight hallways, and row homes that require experienced hands. Add to that a steady stream of long-distance moves coming in from New York and Philadelphia, and it’s clear why having a local moving company that knows Scranton’s streets makes all the difference.

Scranton winters add another layer to consider. Snow, ice, and frozen driveways affect how a moving day gets planned, and an experienced crew accounts for that from the start. We protect your floors from wet boots and equipment, take extra care on icy steps, and build buffer time into winter jobs so nothing gets rushed. If you’re planning a move between November and March, let us know upfront and we’ll factor the conditions into your estimate.

Movers in Scranton: Choose Us for Your Next Move
Northeastern Movers has built its Scranton reputation job by job, not through marketing claims. Our customers in Green Ridge refer us to neighbors in Minooka. Businesses we’ve moved on one side of town call us again when they expand. You can read those reviews before you call — we’d rather earn your trust with a track record than a sales pitch. We’re also fully licensed (USDOT #3271670), carry commercial insurance, and have been recognized by the Better Business Bureau. Those credentials matter when you’re handing over the contents of your home or office.
Why Hire Us As Your Movers In Scranton, Pennsylvania?
Licensed & Insured — Northeastern Movers is fully licensed under USDOT #3271670 and MC #1032971 and carries commercial insurance covering your belongings throughout the move. If something is damaged, you won’t be chasing a subcontractor for resolution — we own the claim.
Equipment for the Job — Our fleet is maintained and sized for what Scranton moves actually require. That means trucks that can handle a full household, lift gates for heavy items, furniture pads, and the rigging equipment for pianos, safes, and specialty pieces. We bring what the job needs, not what fits in a van.
Crew That Knows the Area — Experience in Scranton specifically means knowing which streets near downtown are one-way, which neighborhoods have permit requirements for overnight truck parking, and how to navigate a move-in at an older apartment building near campus without disrupting other residents. That local knowledge shortens your moving day.

Contact us today and talk to a Northeastern Movers team member. Let us take care of you and make this move and any future ones as easy as possible.
Local Moving
Local moves within Scranton and the surrounding Lackawanna County communities — Dunmore, Clarks Summit, Taylor, Dickson City — are a regular part of our work. We know which streets in the Hill Section require a smaller truck, which downtown buildings have loading restrictions, and how to plan a move-day schedule around the University of Scranton’s campus traffic during peak August and May weeks.
Long Distance Moves
A large share of our Scranton work is long-distance moves — people relocating to New York City, Philadelphia, or out of state entirely. We handle the full trip with our own crew and truck, coordinating pickup in Scranton and delivery at your destination without handing your belongings off at a transfer facility. Your inventory stays with us start to finish.
Office & Commercial Moving
Commercial moves in Scranton range from small office relocations along Wyoming Avenue to larger facility moves in the city’s industrial corridors. We work around your business hours, build a detailed inventory before we load anything, and coordinate with building management at both ends to minimize disruption. Downtime costs money — we plan to limit it.
Packing & Unpacking Services
Our packing services are available as a full-home pack or for specific items only — fragile pieces, electronics, artwork, or anything that needs more than a standard box. We supply all materials and label everything by room so unloading at your destination doesn’t turn into a guessing game. For Scranton homes with a lot of accumulated belongings — the older properties in established neighborhoods often do — we’ll give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Storage Services
Our storage facility handles both short-term and long-term needs — useful when a closing date and a lease end don’t line up, or when a Scranton home renovation requires clearing out rooms temporarily. Climate-controlled units keep furniture, documents, and sensitive items in good condition regardless of the season. Access is flexible and rates are straightforward.
