We're an independently owned and operated Pittsburgh, PA moving company, and have been in business since 1925. Allegheny Valley Transfer Company has been an agent of Allied Van Lines for 49 years. Allied sets rules and regulations that make your moving experience exceptional.

At Allegheny Valley Transfer Company, we operate as both a booking and hauling agent. This gives us the flexibility to assign one of our own drivers to handle your move from start to finish. As a result, this gives our customers a comfort level because they get to know and trust the crew who is handling their belongings. It also gives us the ability to service most moves on the customer’s preferred packing and loading dates.

We own four Allied agencies throughout the Northeast which allows us a tremendous hauling capacity. Unlike competitors, we know who will be involved in helping you move. By working directly with our customers, we help them to develop the most realistic expectations of the moving process.

Whether you're moving locally around Pittsburgh, within the state, cross-country, or abroad, we can help. Here are some of the ways Allegheny Valley Transfer Company can assist you with all of your moving needs:

Local moves (Pittsburgh area)

Each move begins with one of our consultants asking the customer a series of questions so we can best assess their needs. If you are moving locally, we can either provide you with a ballpark figure, based on the information that you have provided, or have one of our experienced moving consultants visit your home to provide you with a free, no obligation estimate on your move.

Our consultant can give you packing guidelines which outlines what can be moved and how it should be packed. What good is an estimate if the moving consultant has never seen your home, your furniture, and your possessions? We take furniture, possessions, and boxes into account when giving you a quote, to ensure that our estimates are accurate. For people who prefer to pack their own belongings, boxes and packing materials are available upon request.

At the conclusion of a local move, each customer is given a survey that is attached to the driver's paperwork. Allegheny Valley Transfer Company takes your concerns seriously – each and every customer comment helps us to continually adjust and improve our service.

Out-of-state move

Our company excels in providing exemplary service to customers who are moving long distance. We do not off load your shipment to unload another customers belongings or move your shipment from truck to truck. That's because the more often furniture is handled, the more likely it is to be lost or damaged. Once items are loaded on a truck, they stay on that truck until they are delivered at your new home. We want to ensure that the minimum amount of handling occurs so that your belongings are safe and arrive undamaged.

Having representation in the area that you are moving into is important because that Allied agent will be eager to assist you with any destination services such as; providing the driver with experienced labor to help him unload your shipment, assisting with claims processing and resolution, and simply helping you get acclimated to your new home. They want to help so that if you ever move again, you’ll call them first!

Even the best local moving company has no representatives in other states. We, however, have agents across the United States and the world. Whether you are moving from Pittsburgh to Dallas – or from Dallas to Long Island – there is an agent in your area who wants to assist you with your moving questions and concerns. Our number-one goal is to provide you with a satisfactory customer service experience.

Out-of-country moves

Moving away from your homeland can be confusing. Fortunately, we can help. We give you online access to customs information that will help you with the immigrations process.

We specialize in door-to-door, rather than door-to-port relocation. Our driver brings your items to the nearest port; your items are then loaded and shipped to the nearest port in your new home. There, one of our local agents picks up your belongings at the port and delivers them directly to your new home. It’s comforting to know that one moving company will be handling your move from start to finish. We can also ship belongings by air or sea, depending on your time frame. Your belongings are individually containerized and sealed to prevent damage, loss, and theft.

Whether you're moving from Baldwin to Bethel Park, from Bethel Park to Baltimore, or from Baldwin to Bangalore, count on Allegheny Valley Transfer Company to take good care of your belongings and eliminate the stress involved in moving.
