What a dream move. Finally, a moving company where 'professional' as part of their commitment is a reality. I needed to move a 15x10' storage locker from Western PA to Florida. The day before, a member of the company met me at the storage unit, and said I needed to do nothing. The next day, a 3-man team showed up within 15 minutes of the expected time, and within 2 hours everything was loaded onto the truck. Once the truck was weighed, I got a call that the move would cost me $700 less -- when does that happen? Eight days later, the truck, and the same crew arrived on a Saturday at 7:59 AM, one minute earlier than I had been told two days before. And within 3 hours everything was unloaded, a desk re-assembled, and many boxes of books and bookcases carried up stairs to the second floor. Never a complaining word; the team just did their job. I should mention that even the pins for the bookcases were removed and wrapped. Nothing was lost. I cannot recommend this company more highly -- and they are not restricted to the South Hills of Pittsburgh despite their name. They move nationwide. My previous move was an absolute horror story - this move was flawless. This is a picture of my dream team: Alex, John, and Chris. Very grateful - thanks to all the staff at South Hills Moving. rkk read more

South Hills Movers - My Team from South Hills Moving - Movers Near Me - Bethel Park, Pennsylvania

Have used them 3 times in the past 12 years and the did a really good job each time. They wrapped the dressers with clothes in the drawers. So, that was a nice time saver. Their prices are competitive and they showed up promptly and worked nonstop. read more

I used the the Southhills Movers for the first time today to move into my new home. It required moving from a busy downtown location, stopping at a storage unit and unloading at the new house. The movers were expected to show up between 8-9am, but arrived right around 8am which was great. Before the move was arranged, I worked with a sales rep, Dylan who came to assess the move and gave an estimate (which was very accurate at the end of the move). Dylan explained exactly what I could expect and made arrangements/ offered custom crates to be built for specialty items like heavy artwork etc if need be. I received several calls and email communications to update and confirm the details of the move leading up to the moving date. I also received a call DURING the move from the office to make sure everything was running smoothly! The movers (Aaron and his team) were absolutely wonderful: they were professional, friendly, SUPER efficient, respectful of my belongings and my home, and worked very quickly. They also divided and conquered the two trucks - one going to the house, after the first one had been loaded downtown and the second one needed to stop at the other storage unit location in order to be efficient with timing. They used blankets and plastic wrap to protect my furniture, put down mats to walk through the house, and rearranged a few pieces of furniture after they were unloaded because I changed my mind about where I had originally asked them to be placed. I had a really great experience working with this team and would recommend them to everyone! read more

Did not send enough pol to finish job yet charged 25% more! when I called them next day, they told me and I quote Joe here: "we figured it would work itself out and you guys would finish it" They should not have been paid they should be sued, and I would never trust them with a move again, and I am a professional mover who helped these people move, and I have used them in the past, but this service has been extraordinarily bad, and I strongly recommend you move onward. You would be better hiring your nephew & his buddies. read more

They were hired to help relocate my office to only a floor below the old one and they: - showed up with so many people that most had to be sent home - were very curt and difficult to work with - did not give pertinent information about labeling certain items - did not move everything that was required, and then stopped responding read more

We just moved from the North Hills of Pittsburgh to Edinboro, PA in single degree weather. The team from South Hills movers was professional, kind, accommodating, and efficient. They took great care of our furniture in preparing it to move, packing it and delivering it. We had many antiques and all arrived in perfect condition. They were magicians maneuvering tight spaces. Their courteousness and patience helped to reduce the stressfulness of the move. Communication with the office was also a positive experience and they were extremely helpful. The office gave us useful information and kept us up-to-date on what we needed to do and what was happening at their end. Also, the man who estimated the cost of our move gave us valuable information and was great to work with. Communication at every level was easy and accommodating. A huge thank you to Kelly, Dave, Cody, Brennan, Charles, and Matt for making this move such a positive experience. read more

The most professional company to deal with. South Hills moved our offices a few times and I didn't hesitate to contact them when I had to move Jason and his whole team were kind and considerate of my belongings. I would highly recommend them for any move. read more

SHM was great to with with, especially for a cross country move. most importantly, the price at the end what exactly what I expected it to be. No tricks, no games! honest company! read more

Everyone at South Hills Movers is always helpful to my clients in need of movers, appreciate all their hard work!

South Hills movers did my very complicated move. My move involved three stops to pick up storage and a couple couches. When we arrived at our new house they had to do some amazing driving to get the truck onto my street. I live in the South Side Slopes. They all worked so hard, never wasted time and never complained. They were all very nice and made me feel comfortable with them carrying my heavy fragile furniture. Everything went perfectly. I cannot recommend these guys enough. I have moved many many times and this is by far my best experience. read more

We used this company twice in 3 years. Our first experience was great. The crew had a good leader and everything went smoothly. We requested the same leader the second time but on the day of the move he was substituted with a less experienced person. This crew manages to damage both homes, lose parts and reassemble furniture incorrectly. The company is only concerned with getting paid and not about resolving the problems they created. No one will even talk to us about our claim. We Do Not recommend this company. UPDATE: after posting this review the company resolved our claim very quickly and professionally. read more

I called to request an estimate for a local move on a specific date. They sent out their Moving Consultant to assess our needs. I confirmed the date with him and he told me if the date was not available he wouldn't be at my house. He sent me the estimate within a few hours of our meeting and I gave them my deposit. Three hours after they accepted the deposit, he sends an email saying he made a mistake and the date we requested was peak moving time with an increased hourly rate. When I called to request he honor his first estimate he refused and said I had changed the moving date. Basically called me a liar. UPDATE: South Hills Movers have reached out and offered to do the move at the hourly rate on the original estimate. read more

I've moved a lot in my life and these guys, hands down are the best. They are professional, hard working, kind people who want to ensure that you have the best experience of the horrendous task of having to move. The best movers ever!!! read more

Not moving, but driving cross country when South Hills Movers' truck # 1140, registration PT-0389J, ran my car to the side of the road because he changed lanes so he wouldn't be behind a slower truck. Once past the slower truck he moved back over to the right lane. Hey no worries though South Hills Movers, my vehicle and it's 3 passengers are good to go. read more

Moved from Pittsburgh to Baltimore, well-stocked one bedroom apartment. We got estimates from four different companies, South Hills was in the middle but theirs was a non-binding estimate so we only paid for the actual weight which was less. The estimator was thorough and listened to us. We packed almost everything ourselves and it at arrived in fine shape. We were kept informed on the schedule, which was right in the three day window they quoted. They showed up on time at both ends. They workers were smart about asking questions about where things went and made this one our best moves ever. read more

Absolutely everyone I dealt with at South Hills movers was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They made a difficult and scary move across the state much less so. specifically, Mark took such special care of my life long collection of stuff. When he drove off with my belongings, I knew I had nothing to worry about. everything arrived at my new location in perfect condition. Kudos to Mark. It was a pleasure to meet such a kind soul. Janet Schaeffer read more

I used south hills movers in June 2019, the day of the move one of the workers informed me that they had broken the glass on my curio cabinet and they would take care of fixing it, ok fine. Weeks go by so I call and the woman answering tells me oh no you have to file a claim to get your stuff fixed, ok fine. Few more weeks go by I call again, nothing. Few more days I call again oh you have to fill out the claim form and send it back to us, ok fine. Several weeks go by and it's now sept 2019. I call again and finally get them to send someone to measure the glass etc etc. few more go by and I call again to ask when they are going to fix the curio and I'm told that it will be 350.00 to fix and install the glass but they are only going to give me 250.00 for the repair and the rest is on me, say what?!?! Wow read more

I am just very disappointed with what happened. We were planning on moving on a set date and never gave another date as an option. They came to our home and looked around and gave an estimate. The employee was very friendly, as is their staff. She sent the estimate in a timely manner but when I was called to reserve the date it was mentioned that it was a weekday rate. We are moving on a Saturday and it is considered "overtime". Never once did we say we wanted a weekday. The employee that came to our home mentioned a weekday move to save a few hundred dollars but we never asked for a weekday. They didn't even offer to keep our price the same and expected us to pay 300 more dollars for a mistake that they made on their own. That's just bad business in my opinion. Make sure you are very thorough with your date and moving needs. Now we are in a scramble to find someone reasonable. **update: SHM did offer to give us original price but we at that point had found another mover read more

They gave an estimate of 1000 to move a one bedroom apartment across town but the movers actually charged 1800 stating it took longer cause they were down a man. The lead mover stated the estimator was way off and they had an issue because they were down a man because one called off. read more

South Hills Movers is an example of how private owners with lots of money are posing as local, home grown companies and failing to compensate their workers as nationally recognized company should, as the funds are available. Owned by a family in the South Hills, one would think that a nationwide company would provide compensation to it's employees in accordance with the company's annual revenue. Servicing commercial contracts, such as Verizon and Consol Energy Center, it is obvious that this company is making a lot of money. They are not paying their employees properly, operate under no union protection ( heavy labor requires union regulations ) and discriminate against women. Also, overtime is not properly distributed to employees who work from 7AM to 9PM, and there are no benefits extended to employees. The company is based in Bethel Park and holds the contract to deliver voting machines in Allegheny County. In order for that contract to be obtained, some of the requirements for an Allegheny Contract had to be quickly obtained. Minority employees were hired from employment agencies. These employees are simply working at this company to fulfill the requirements in order to obtain the contract to deliver the voting machines. read more

Movers arrived yesterday. We paid for their "packing" before the move. Family heirlooms were placed in boxes with no padding at all. 6 plates stacked with no wrapping or padding. Item after item shattered. I'm waiting for a reply from the company but even monetarily this can't be fixed. Although the movers were careful when they arrived, I could never recommend this company. My family is heartbroken by their complete carelessness read more

See all

Three stars is the average of 2 drastically different reviews. 1. Sales and Prep: ZERO stars. The man that worked with my parents for the move was terrible. Movers arrived with NONE of what they needed to complete a major full-house move. No TV boxes, lamp boxes, nada. Terrible. 2. Execution by Kevin and the Guys: FIVE stars! In spite of the sales guy completely screwing up, Kevin and his crew stepped up and made it happen. They loaded up 50-years of memories, packed it in a massive truck, and moved it across Pgh. And when the new place moaned about where they were parked, etc., Kevin and crew kept on moving while I dealt with the "rule" guys - running furniture in like a Benny Hill show while I argued. Classic. They were out of there in record time. I've never seen anything like it! I can't say I'd recommend them, but if you use them - GET KEVIN! read more

I can't say enough good things about South Hills Movers! I moved out of the apartment building that was Kaufmann's downtown. The move was very difficult because the freight elevator has been down in the apartment building for months. The only way to move out was to use a passenger elevator, carry all of my belongings over a marble floor and carry everything a block down Fifth Avenue to the moving truck. I called countless movers and no one would do the move because of the difficulty. I called South Hills Movers and from the very beginning everyone was so professional and willing to help! Everyone had a can do attitude and really worked to get the move accomplished! In the end the move went better than I could have ever anticipated! South Hills Movers did it in less time than they estimated and everything arrived safe and sound to my new house. I am so impressed and grateful to them!!! read more

We used South Hills Movers for our move from Mt Lebanon, PA to Milton, MA and they were excellent. Tammy gave to gave us an estimate and was very thorough and her estimate was right on the mark. She was very profeesional and friendly. Everyone I spoke to at South Hills movers and was friendly and helpful. They even offered to give us some used wardrobe boxes for free and the gentleman who loaded them into our car was a great guy. Our truck driver, Tony, was really helpful and great with our little girl who had a bit of a crush on him. They had to move us into our home in the rain and made sure to tape boxes down on the floor to avoid getting them dirty or scratching them. I can't say enough nice things about our experience with them. I feel very lucky to have found them, absolutely wonderful! read more

So far I am not pleased with this company. They do not keep to their timeframes of when they will pick up your items and then deliver them. You will need to manage them as they do not communicate to you anything about dates. They expect you to be at their beck and call as to when they can do things. They do not respond to emails or phone call/voicemails. They are very unapologetic as to when they make your life inconvienent. read more

Zero stars. NIGHTMARE. That's how I would describe our move experience with South Hills Movers. The majority of our furniture and belongings were delivered to our home completely DESTROYED, in pieces or very badly damaged. Not just scratched or dinged, but damaged beyond repair. After speaking with them about the extent of the damage and being promised they would take care of it, they didn't. Their word means nothing. They fought us for months on the claims after they gave me their word they would "make everything right." I would never recommend them or use them again. This is our second cross country move and South Hills Movers made it a living nightmare for us. read more

Terrible customer service - I called and spoke with Bonnie. We were roughly a month away from our move date, so I was eager to get the moving company booked. She said the soonest they could come and give us a quote was a week and half away. I said that wasn't going to work, and she changed it to a few days later that week. I tried asking her some questions about how the pricing works and she was extremely curt and unhelpful and kept telling me she would not give me a quote over the phone. I asked if there was a flat fee for storing our things overnight and she wouldn't give me an answer on that or any of my other general questions. I explained another company told us it was a $400 flat fee to store our things overnight and she said, "Well, it's not going to cost $400 with us," but she wouldn't even give me an idea of how the process works with their company with a two day move. After speaking with her, I called back and got a different person who was able to answer my questions in more detail (She said they would charge $100-$200 depending on how much stuff we had) so I can only assume Bonnie was either unaware of their policies or chose to not answer my questions. There should be consistency with what representatives are telling customers, though. The day before our scheduled appointment to get the quote, the guy calls and says our scheduled move date is booked and they can't do those days. The process seems unreasonable to me - making you wait over a week to even get a quote and by that time the date is already booked. Also, I would recommend some training for the employees on interpersonal communication skills; their customer service is seriously lacking. read more

I second Paul's disbelief with the negative reviews for South Hills Movers. Shane and his team were on time, professional, and didn't damage one item from the move. Please read my experience below to see why I won't choose anyone else besides South Hills Movers after this recent move! Under the leadership of Shane- our move couldn't have been more seamless. Shane, Stan, and Luke were consummate professionals and took extreme care in moving our personal belongings. They absolutely went the extra mile in ensuring that we were comfortable, and that everything was going in the right place at our new home. We have a 5 month old baby, and they relieved a lot of our stress by packing his crib last, and setting it up first at the new house- without us even having to ask. They were always one step ahead of us! In the future, the only moving company I will work with is South Hills Movers- and I will always request Shane and his team by name, to help us out! In addition I wanted to ensure that I mentioned Jan Henderson, who did an AMAZING job checking in on us and helping coordinate all the specifics of the move as our relocation coordinator. read more

I have worked with South Hilss Movers for two local moves in the Pittsburgh area and had a good experience with them both times. I never even thought of looking at the reivews when we needed a moving company for an out of state move I just called South Hills and schedule a time for them to come out and give an estiamte again. My experience with the sales person was great,however, he NEVER told me that there was a chance that they would not be able to move me, he said when I know the exact date to call the coordinator to schdule. I told him that I will not have an exact date until closer to the time since I was bulding a new home and dealing with closing dates and such. When i got my exact moving date (3 1/2) weeks out I called like I was advised to do. The coordinator said she would call me once this date was cofirmed. I had not heard back after 36 hours and called back in. The coordinator said she still had not heard back and she will check on this. Three days later I received a one sentenace unprofessional email from my sales person saying that my move was denied. I immedialtely called him and he basically said they do not have any trucks going that direction and they can not move me no Plan B just I was out of luck. I then requested that a manger of some sort give me a call. Joe Diremigio(spelling) called me and told me the same thing, my move was denied and they don't have any options for me and they can not move me because they do not have the trucks going that direction, He was not helpful at all and actually had the nerve to say to me "I am sure you got other estimates call one of them." I just don't understand how a comapny can do business like this? The final straw was when I was so dissatisfied with how they handled this I called the President of the comapny Gary Lee. He actually answered the phone and I expressed to him how upset I was with how they handled this and how I was unawre this was evern possible. He told me that he would look into it and call me after lunch. That was 7 days ago and I have yet to receive a call. I wish I would have read the reivews becasue several people have had this same experience when movng out of state wiht South Hills Movers. I would never recommened them for an interestare move. read more

Billy and crew were terrific. They showed up on time both days and Kelly from the office called both days to make sure things were going okay. They were friendly and efficient, and nothing was damaged. While moving is no fun, we had absolutely no complaints. read more

This is a moving company I would use again. I recently moved some of my dads things from an office in Pittsburgh to my house in Va. We had a few glitches because originally they told me the truck would come Sunday - then they said Sunday doesn't work and said Wed - then I waited Wed and was told there was a flat tire so if we could reschedule. However, that all being said..when they came Saturday they did an amazing job. Let me explain. All night Friday there was down pour so the mulch and dirt on the side of my house was very muddy. I needed them to move all the boxes into my basement and the entrance was on the back of the house but they would have to now go down in the mud - they put plywood down the entire way - a good 25 yards and sheets down in my basement and we had an easy, no mess, move. They were so nice too. Nothing broken or missing. read more

All the way from booking the move to the actual loading and unloading, South Hills Movers did a great job - they were on time and moved quickly and cheerfully. All items arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend South Hills Movers. read more

One Star is kind considering the service I received, or should I say didn't receive. I made an online inquiry for a local move on a Thursday, and received a call back on Monday. At this time I told them that I needed there service in 3 weeks (gave them the exact date), and other details. They set up an appointment for an estimator to come on Friday @ 1230p. Come Friday @ Noon I get a call saying "sorry, we are all booked up on that date, so do you still want me to come for the estimate". I asked why on earth would you call me 30 minutes before appointment & not inform me of booking issues when I made the appointment. The answers I received was "we are sorry, but that is how we operate". To make a long story they mislead me into thinking that they were going to be my mover, held me hostage for the entire week, and cancelled on me 30 minutes prior to my appointment. Moving furniture isn't rocket science, so I would strongly recommend other vendors who appreciate the value of customer service, and honoring commitments. read more

They were in my way and held me up at an intersection it was very inconvenient. Someone beeped at me which caused me stress 1/5 stars

ZERO STARS. Steve came to my house for an estimate and was very nice. We were told our dates to move would be "absolutely no problem." 2 weeks later, we get a voicemail saying that they are unable to move us because they are busy. not helpful in recommending someone else and didnt seem to think the fact that we were told the dates were good to go mattered much. so we are left high and dry with only 3 weeks to move cross-country with a 5 month old baby. they came recommended from people who used them for local moves, but beware if you need cross-country assistance, regardless of what the sales-person tells you! read more

What kind of company is it when you can't even get a price quote from them???? I have waited very patiently and still no quote sent to me. Tic Toc South Hills Movers....my next review will give dates and the readers can make up their own minds. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I would never recommend this company to anyone. They damaged my brand new bedroom furniture, took a chunk out of my door jamb, put a hole in my wall and did not cover any of the furniture. When I asked them to cover it they said they cannot grab the furniture if it's covered. When I told them that they damaged the furniture they said it was like that. I told them it was absolutely NOT it is BRAND NEW! My bed that they put together is falling apartment. I should have read the reviews before booking with them. read more

I used South Hill movers for my recent move to Chicago. I was horrified at the condition of the Boxes that I packed when they arrived in Chicago. I was told that my belongings had been moved on and off of a truck twice before they arrived at the final destination. I was given false confidence that my belongings would be cared for, clearly there was no regard. I am truely dissatified and would not recommend South Hills Movers for an out of state move. read more

If there were ZERO STARs that is what I would select. Not because SHM did my move, but because after planning the move with them for 6 weeks, they called me the day before I was leaving Pittsburgh to tell me they could not accommodate my move. Further, they had a total technology shutdown where they couldn't remember my appointments, move dates, wouldn't return my phone calls, and even confused my sister's move with mine. About 2 months ago I started planning a move from Pittsburgh west. I was coordinating with Kelley and then Tom Gennis, who seemed like a reasonable person. Kelley coordinated dates, logistics, insurance, etc with me. Tom came out and inventoried my items, gave me a quote which I accepted, and we planned the move. But then the day before I left Pittsburgh Kelley called me to say that 'none of my move dates would work.' I had SIX WEEKS of potential move dates, ie a lot of flexibility. When I asked her why this sudden turnaround she said 'we just don't have any trucks going west.' She then said I should speak with the manager Joe, who got on the phone to simply say 'we cannot move you.' Again, I asked why, after meticulously planning this move with SHM for the last 6 weeks, they would all of a sudden cancel he said they had done nothing wrong as they hadn't taken any of my money. It sounds like a $5k move was not worth their trouble. Further, a couple weeks before their technology went down, rendering them unable to remember or keep any appointments. After I called back 3 times I was finally able to secure the walk through with Tom. I understand that technology systems sometimes go down, so at that point I was willing to hang in there. I guess I should have seen the warnings then that they were overloaded and not professional enough to commit. My sister did and was smart enough to find another mover. Being in a services business I was shocked at their unethical behavior. I was told they have enough business with CMU and the health care systems that they just don't care anymore. I really hope this review SAVES YOU the pain of using SHM. Too bad after experiencing this I checked reviews on YELP. Should have done that before! read more

South Hills Movers is a 5 star company!! They moved my mom from Pittsburgh, PA to Florida and were so easy to work with. Bonnie made sure we were updated every step of the way. They were very organized, efficient, friendly and professional. From the first estimate to the last box delivered, we were very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend South Hills Movers! read more
