Your Trusted Moving Company in Scranton, PA
Moving Between Scranton and Southeastern Pennsylvania
Scranton moves are rarely just across town for us. Most of the Scranton moves we plan run down the Northeast Extension: a family heading to the Philadelphia suburbs for work, a retiree moving closer to grandchildren in Chester County or Delaware, or someone relocating between the Lehigh Valley and Lackawanna County. At the Scranton end, the city's hills, older double-block homes, and snowy winters all shape the plan.
Simple Moving Solutions plans Scranton moves as full-day jobs from our Chadds Ford office, about two and a half hours south, with the route, timing, and crew set in advance. We also move people throughout the Lehigh Valley and the Philadelphia area. Every move comes with an itemized quote, trained and insured crews, and Pennsylvania PUC licensing. See our long-distance moving service.

Why Choose Simple Moving for a Scranton Move
Longer drives, steep hills, and snowy winters make Scranton moves their own kind of job. Here is what you get with our crews.
Planned as a Full Day
Scranton is about two and a half hours from our office, so we set the start time, route, and crew for the full day before move day.

Down the Northeast Extension
Most of our Scranton moves run between northeastern PA and the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia suburbs, and Delaware.

When to Move in Scranton
The parade, college calendars, and winter snow all shape a Scranton moving day. Here is what we plan around.
St. Patrick's Parade weekend
Scranton's St. Patrick's Parade in March fills downtown and closes streets. We avoid it.
College move weeks
University of Scranton and Marywood move-ins in late August and move-outs in May fill the Hill Section and Green Ridge.
Winter snow
Snow and ice on Scranton's hills and on the Northeast Extension can slow a move. We keep winter dates flexible.
Summer peak
June through August is peak season for longer moves. Book four to six weeks ahead.
Month-end turnover
Apartment leases turn over at month-end, when buildings and our calendar are busiest.
Utility install slots
Internet install slots fill fast near month-end; book two to three weeks ahead.
