    We moved from Squirrel Hill to Mt. Lebanon in early October and the crew was fantastic. They handled a full three-bedroom home without a single issue, wrapped everything carefully, and navigated the steep driveway without complaint.

    I needed a long-distance move from Pittsburgh to Columbus and was nervous about the process. Everything was explained clearly upfront, pickup happened right on schedule, and every piece arrived in perfect condition.

    My Shadyside apartment has a narrow staircase that's given other movers trouble in the past. This team figured it out quickly, protected the walls and flooring, and finished faster than I expected.

    We relocated our downtown Pittsburgh office and were worried about interrupting operations. The crew worked efficiently, labeled everything clearly, and had us set up in the new space the same afternoon.

    We moved in February during a cold snap and I was worried about delays. The movers came prepared, worked right through the conditions, and kept everything dry and protected the whole time. Solid team.

    Getting a piano out of a Lawrenceville rowhouse on a steep block isn't easy, but they handled it with the right equipment and no drama. Instrument arrived without a scratch and was placed exactly where I wanted it.

    Moving from Cranberry Township to the South Hills was seamless. The estimate was accurate, the crew arrived early, and they finished well within the time window. I'll definitely call them again.

    ★★★★★

    I've moved several times around Pittsburgh and this was by far the smoothest experience. They inventoried everything before loading and nothing was out of place when we unpacked in our new place in Oakmont.

    We arranged this move for my mother who was relocating from her home of 30 years. The movers were incredibly patient, took extra care with her antiques and keepsakes, and made what could have been an emotional day feel manageable.

    South Side street parking on a busy Saturday is a nightmare, but they coordinated the truck placement ahead of time and handled it without any issues. Professional and well-organized from start to finish.

    Founder & CEO Culmer Moving

    Larry Caldwell

    From the beginning, the focus was on building a moving company that Pittsburgh residents and businesses could genuinely count on — one where professionalism, honest pricing, and real customer care were never optional.

    That commitment still shapes how every move is planned and executed today. The goal remains the same: make relocation less overwhelming, more predictable, and worth recommending to friends and family.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Straight answers to the questions we hear most often from Pittsburgh-area customers planning their next move.

    For most local moves, booking one to two weeks out gives us enough time to assign the right crew and truck. Spring and summer weekends fill quickly in the Pittsburgh area, so earlier is always better. If you're in a bind, call us — we often have short-notice availability.

    They can, but our crews are experienced with the terrain. We work regularly in neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, South Side, Mt. Washington, and the North Side, where steep grades and tight rowhouse blocks are the norm. We plan truck positioning and routes in advance to avoid surprises.

    Every move includes the truck, moving blankets, shrink wrap, and tape. There are no fuel surcharges or hidden add-ons. The hourly rate starts when our crew arrives and stops when the last item is placed at your destination.

    Yes. Basic liability coverage is included with every job. If you have antiques, artwork, or other high-value items, ask us about enhanced protection options before your move date.

    Absolutely. We operate year-round, including during cold snaps and snow. Our crews take extra precautions in icy conditions — floor protection at doorways, careful loading, and adjusted pacing to keep everything safe.

    Yes. We have specialized equipment and trained movers for pianos, pool tables, safes, and other heavy or oversized items. Just let us know in advance and we'll assign the right team and tools for the job.

    Local moves are billed hourly based on crew size. Long-distance moves are quoted by weight and mileage. We provide a written estimate before the move begins so you know exactly what to expect.

    Most local moves carry a two-hour minimum. Your coordinator will confirm the exact minimum when you schedule based on crew size and distance.

    Yes. We handle long-distance relocations from Pittsburgh to destinations across all 48 contiguous states. Every long-distance move includes a dedicated coordinator, GPS-tracked transport, and a confirmed delivery window.

    Label boxes by room, set aside anything you're transporting yourself, and check whether you need a parking permit for the moving truck — some Pittsburgh neighborhoods and downtown streets require them. We'll send a full checklist after you book.

    We're unable to move hazardous materials, flammable liquids, live plants, perishable food, or ammunition. If you're unsure about a specific item, ask before moving day.

    Yes. We work with secure, climate-controlled storage facilities in the Pittsburgh area and can coordinate delivery directly to the unit. Both short-term and long-term options are available.
