Moving and Storage Services in Baltimore, MD
Gastley’s Moving & Storage, Inc. has been helping families and businesses relocate since 1964. Whether you’re moving out of a rowhome in Canton, relocating an office near the Inner Harbor, or need secure storage while you settle in, our experienced crews handle the details so your move goes smoothly.
Residential Moving in Baltimore
We move Baltimore households of every size, from a studio apartment in Mount Vernon to a single-family home in Roland Park or Towson. Our residential moving service includes careful loading, secure transport, and unloading, with attention to items that are easy to damage in a rushed move: mirrors, electronics, and furniture with tight clearances through Baltimore’s classic narrow doorways and stairwells.
- Rowhome and apartment moves in areas like Canton, Fells Point, and Patterson Park
- Single-family home moves in Baltimore County communities such as Towson, Catonsville, and Parkville
- Condo and high-rise moves near the Inner Harbor and Locust Point
- Careful handling of stairs, stoops, and narrow hallways common in older city housing stock
Commercial and Office Relocations
Relocating a business in Baltimore usually means working around loading dock access, building freight elevator schedules, and city permitting for larger trucks in commercial corridors like downtown or Canton’s business district. We coordinate move timing with your building management so your office is back up and running with as little downtime as possible.
Local and Long-Distance Moving Services
Baltimore’s location along I-95 and I-83 makes it a natural hub for both local moves within the metro area and long-distance relocations up and down the East Coast. We handle local moves across Baltimore City and Baltimore County, as well as long-distance moves to and from Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and beyond, with the same crew and equipment standards on every job.
Packing and Unpacking Services
Packing a Baltimore rowhome brings its own challenges: narrow closets, built-in shelving, and stairwells that make it harder to move large boxes safely. Our packing crews use quality materials and protective wrapping for fragile, valuable, and oversized items, and we offer both full-service and partial packing depending on how much you want to handle yourself.
- Full-service and partial packing options
- Specialized handling for fragile, valuable, and oversized items, including antiques and heavy equipment
- High-quality packing materials and protective wrapping
- Organized unpacking so you can settle into your new Baltimore home or office quickly
What Makes Moving in Baltimore Different
A few realities of moving in and around Baltimore shape how we plan every job:
Narrow, One-Way Streets
Many rowhouse neighborhoods have streets with parking on only one side, which limits where a moving truck can stage.
Residential Parking Permit Zones
Certain Baltimore City neighborhoods restrict on-street parking to permit holders, so we plan loading zones or temporary arrangements in advance.
Older Housing Stock
Many homes in areas like Hampden and Highlandtown were built decades ago, with narrower stairwells and doorframes than newer suburban construction.
Humid Summers
Baltimore’s summer humidity can affect wood furniture and cardboard boxes left outside too long, so we keep loading times tight.
Harbor-Area Traffic
Moves near the Inner Harbor, Camden Yards, or Fells Point often mean working around event traffic and tourist congestion, which we account for in scheduling.
Baltimore County Suburbs
Communities like Towson, Catonsville, and Parkville have easier truck access but longer driveways and garages to plan around.
How a Move With Us Works
Getting started is straightforward. Call us or request a free estimate through our website, and we’ll ask about your Baltimore address, the size of your move, and any access challenges like stairs, narrow streets, or parking restrictions. From there, we build a plan for packing (if you want it), loading, transport, and unloading, and we stay in touch with clear communication throughout so you always know what’s happening next.
