Your Trusted Moving Company in New Castle, DE
Your New Castle, DE Moving Team
New Castle is two places at once. Old New Castle, along the Delaware River, is one of the best-preserved colonial towns in the country: brick and frame homes from the 1700s and 1800s on The Strand and Delaware Street, with narrow winding staircases, low doorways, and brick sidewalks out front. Around it, the New Castle area stretches across Wilmington Manor, Castle Hills, Collins Park, and the neighborhoods along Route 13 and Route 9, full of ranches, capes, and split-levels from the decades after the war.
Simple Moving Solutions is headquartered on Newport Pike, about 10 minutes away, so New Castle is home ground for our crews. We also move people next door in Wilmington, Newport, and Bear, and across the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Every move comes with an itemized quote and trained, insured crews.

Weather comes in fast off the Delaware River. Tell us what moving day looks like and see how we keep your things and your floors dry.
Most moves go ahead in rain. We lay floor runners and door mats at both ends, wrap mattresses and upholstered furniture in plastic, stage boxes under a porch or in the garage, and carry the most water-sensitive items last into the truck and first off. Only thunderstorms and lightning pause loading.
