Relocating your business is no small task. Whether you're moving offices across Pittsburgh or expanding operations to a new city, choosing the right commercial moving company can make or break the process. Downtime, damaged equipment, and disorganized transitions can lead to lost productivity and lost revenue.

Relocating Your Business? Here's What to Look for in a Commercial Mover

At George Moving & Storage, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses across Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and Northern West Virginia transition smoothly with minimal disruption. Here’s what you should look for when hiring a professional commercial mover and how to ensure your relocation is efficient, secure, and stress-free.

Why Choosing the Right Commercial Mover Matters

Unlike a residential move, a commercial relocation involves sensitive data, expensive equipment, and strict timelines. The stakes are higher, and the logistics more complex. That’s why you need a mover who understands:

  • Business continuity

  • Employee coordination

  • IT infrastructure and equipment handling

  • Specialized transportation needs

The right partner will help you reduce downtime, stay organized, and avoid costly mistakes.

1. Proven Experience with Commercial Moves

Always ask how many commercial relocations a company has handled. An experienced team knows how to move office furniture, workstations, conference room tech, and filing systems without damaging assets or disrupting operations.

At George Moving & Storage, we’ve moved everything from corporate offices to warehouses and retail locations. Our skilled crews know how to coordinate with building managers, elevator schedules, and city regulations to avoid costly delays.

Tip: Ask for client references or case studies from recent commercial moves.

2. Customizable Moving Plans

Every business has different needs. Look for a mover that offers customized moving plans, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

George Moving & Storage builds relocation plans tailored to your timeline, layout, and budget. We handle everything from packing and labeling to inventory management and equipment installation so your team can get back to work ASAP.

3. Proper Licensing and Insurance

To protect your company’s assets and reduce liability, make sure your commercial mover is:

  • Licensed and bonded

  • Fully insured

  • Compliant with local and federal transportation regulations

As an agent of North American Van Lines, George Moving & Storage meets all commercial moving requirements and is backed by one of the most trusted names in the industry.

4. Technology and Equipment Handling Expertise

Your business likely relies on sensitive electronics, servers, and IT systems. Look for a mover experienced in:

  • Disconnecting and reconnecting workstations

  • Transporting server racks, copiers, and A/V equipment

  • Labeling and securing electronics to prevent data loss or damage

We offer custom crating solutions and secure transport for valuable and fragile items, including climate-controlled trucks when needed.

5. Warehousing & Storage Capabilities

If your new space isn’t ready or you’re downsizing, a mover with secure storage facilities is essential. George Moving & Storage offers short- and long-term warehousing in Freedom, PA, perfect for staging, excess inventory, or phased transitions.

Bonus: We also offer distribution logistics for companies needing ongoing shipping and receiving support.

6. Clear Communication and Project Management

Your move should come with a dedicated move coordinator or project manager—someone who understands your goals and keeps everything on track.

Our team provides detailed timelines, checklists, and updates to keep your relocation on schedule and within budget.
