Moving Companies in Olyphant, PA
Scan the vetted movers below and weigh three signals on each card before asking for a quote.
Reading the mover cards
An insurance badge confirms an active policy, but coverage depth varies. Standard carrier liability usually pays out only about 60 cents per pound per item, so full-value or third-party coverage is the better comparison for furniture and electronics.
License status tells you whether the mover is cleared for the type of job; interstate relocations require federal registration, so confirm it before any long-distance booking. Review count works best as a volume signal - many reviews built over time outweigh a small batch of recent ones.
What to expect on price
Expect $100 to $200 an hour for a two-person crew and truck in the Olyphant and Scranton area. Most local moves end up between $400 and $1,800, depending on the home's size. Long-distance jobs are priced by weight and distance instead.
Olyphant's older housing stock means narrow staircases, tight turns, and steep steps can trigger extra charges, so describe your floor plan when requesting an estimate. Ask if a quote is binding or non-binding; the latter can climb if the job runs long. Some companies also add surcharges when items must travel more than 50 feet between the front door and the truck, or across multiple flights of stairs.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Lackawanna County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
