- BEST MOVING COMPANY IN MORGANTOWN FOR 2025
- (304) 904-7553
You know what’s worse than moving? Moving with people who don’t show up when they say they will. We’ve heard every horror story – movers who vanish for three hours during the job, crews that break half your stuff, and companies that quote you one price then demand twice as much when the truck’s half loaded.
That’s exactly why First Ward residents keep coming back to us year after year. When you need top moving services, you need people who actually do what they promise. We show up on time, we work until it’s done, and your stuff gets there in one piece. Boring? Maybe. Reliable? Absolutely.
Here’s what reliability actually means in the moving business. When Abate Moving Services LLC tells you we’ll be there at 8 AM, we’re pulling up at 7:55. When we say the job will take four hours, we’re usually done in three and a half.
When we quote you a price, that’s what you pay – no surprises, no extra fees for stairs or heavy items that we should have noticed during the estimate. We’ve been doing this long enough to know exactly what a job involves before we start. Trust isn’t something you earn overnight, but we’ve been building it one move at a time for years.

Ever see movers show up with a dolly that has one broken wheel? Or watch them try to move a refrigerator with a rope and prayer? We invest in good equipment because it makes everyone’s life easier.
Our trucks are clean, our dollies roll straight, and we bring enough padding to wrap everything properly. When you’re moving expensive furniture or fragile items, having the right tools isn’t optional. We learned this the hard way early on when we were starting out – cheap equipment leads to damaged goods and unhappy customers.
Some things can’t be replaced. That antique dresser from your grandmother, the dining table you saved up six months to buy, and family photos that exist nowhere else. We treat these items differently because they deserve different treatment.
More padding, careful loading, and extra attention during transport. Your everyday stuff gets moved safely too, but we understand the difference between a lamp you bought at Target last month and the one your dad made in his workshop twenty years ago.
Life happens. Your new house isn’t ready yet, or you’re downsizing and need time to figure out what goes where. Our storage facility keeps your belongings safe and dry until you need them. Clean units, good security, reasonable prices.
We can move your stuff straight into storage, then deliver it whenever you’re ready. Sometimes this actually saves money compared to trying to coordinate everything perfectly on moving day.
First Ward is old-school Morgantown – narrow streets, houses built when cars were smaller, and lots of character but not always the easiest place to maneuver a moving truck. We know which streets we can fit down and which ones require creative parking solutions.
The neighborhood has this cool mix of longtime residents and newer folks drawn to the historic charm. Lots of the houses have been renovated nicely, though some still have those tiny doorways that make moving furniture interesting. It’s walking distance to downtown, which is great for residents but means we plan our moves around downtown traffic patterns.

So grateful that we chose Abate for our move from WV to GA! They packed and moved our three bedroom house in the middle of summer. I’m finally unpacked and can say that nothing was lost or broken! The crew were experts at packing and moving fragile items. Will be recommending them to anyone else who is moving!
These movers are fabulous! They moved me three and a half hours over 2 days. They took such care with my furniture and belongings. Other people from this area have told that Abate Movers has earned a great reputation in this community. I could not have made a better choice.
Good people to deal with. Very polite and professional. Would highly recommend them.
Movers were personable, efficient and safe. Thanx for a great job! Highly recommended 😎
Everything was super smooth. My expectations were fully met. The movers were timely and friendly. This was actually the easiest part of my entire move. Highly recommend.
The best experience I’ve had moving. Last experience with a another company was a disaster (stolen items and multiple broken items), so I did my homework this time and found Abate. They were very professional and courteous .It was door to door service (a lot of movers don’t tell you that they store your stuff in a warehouse and it gets mixed with other people’s stuff). My move was from West Virginia to Florida. The owner came out before the move to take a look at everything, gave me a quote. On the day of the move there were no surprises, they wrapped the furniture nicely. Everything arrived intact. Can’t speak highly enough!
Abate Moving Service was fantastic from start to finish! They were able to accommodate my move on short notice and even stayed flexible when my move date changed the same week. The crew showed up right on time, worked efficiently and enthusiastically, and handled all my belongings with great care. Everything arrived safely and exactly where I wanted it. I couldn’t recommend Abate Moving Service more — professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with!
Just made a long distance move , over 600 miles, and used Abate Movers. The 3 day process went without a hitch. The crew was amazing… prompt, considerate, helpful, and professional at every turn despite traffic, weather and other challenges. Anthony kept in touch prior to move date which gave me peace mind in a stressful situation. Top notch !!
We had some difficulties, with the previous tenant furnishing still in the house, but the guys made it work, and went above and beyond. Great job, absolutely will recommend.
I would highly recommend Abate Moving Service! Anthony is great at communicating and coordinating everything with the move. His team did an amazing job moving my antiques into my new home, they were well prepared, courteous, and very friendly!
Excellent communication. Showed up on time with all necessary packing materials. Efficient load and unload. A problem free move.
Abate moving saved us after our first scheduled movers failed to show up. Anthony promptly responded to my phone call and dispatched a truck with Clint and Caleb the next day. Both took great care of our furniture (some pieces were extremely heavy) and were courteous throughout the process. I would recommend them again.
Great experience, they were done quickly, neatly
Awesome experience each time! Great people and great service! Would highly recommend!!
I haven’t used a moving company in over 30 years and I wasn’t sure what to expect… My worries were put to rest when I hired Abate Moving, excellent service, price was lower than I expected and nothing was broken in transit! The crew was courteous professional and knowledgeable, the truck was clean, inside and out and well maintained! They traveled from Morgantown WV to NJ and delivered the contents of my home on time to SC! Don’t just hire a moving company hire Abate Moving you won’t be disappointed!
Hired Abate for a long distance, 3 family home move. Abate’s services were cheaper than competitors that we compared them with, and their service was top tier. Would highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy moving crew.
Abates Moving Service made our local move super easy! From the moment they arrived, the team was punctual, professional, and incredibly efficient. They handled all of our furniture and boxes with great care, wrapping everything securely and moving with speed but never rushing. The crew was friendly, respectful of our home, and made what could have been a stressful day feel totally manageable. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and they even helped set things up just the way we wanted. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable moving experience!
10/10 experience from start to finish. Anthony and his crew paid attention to every detail when packing up our stuff for the move. Communication couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend using Abate Moving
Look no further hands down best moving company out there. The crew is respectful, quick, and reliable! We moved my mother in law from West Virginia to New Jersey. I couldn’t believe how quick they worked, and all of her belongings arrived safe. 10/10 would recommend
I can’t say enough good things about Abates Moving Services LLC. From start to finish, they made what could have been a stressful day feel completely manageable. The office staff was responsive and easy to communicate with, answering all my questions ahead of time and giving me clear expectations. On moving day, the crew arrived right on time, fully prepared, and ready to get to work. They treated our belongings as if they were their own, carefully wrapping furniture, protecting doorways, and making sure every box was handled with care. We had a few oversized and heavy pieces that I was worried about, but the team moved them with skill and confidence — not a scratch on anything. What stood out most to me was how organized and efficient they were. Every step of the process felt smooth, and they worked together like a well-oiled machine. Beyond their professionalism, the crew was genuinely kind and friendly. They kept a great attitude throughout the long day and even went out of their way to make sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it in the new house. By the time the move was complete, we felt like we had more than just hired help — we had a team who truly cared about making our transition as easy as possible. If you’re looking for a moving company that is reliable, careful, and committed to doing the job right, I would recommend Abates Moving Service LLC without hesitation. They turned a stressful move into a smooth experience, and I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future moves
Great customer service and very responsive! Their rates were comparable to others in my area, but the service level separated them from the rest!
Smoothest Move Ever! Anthony and his team were incredible from start to finish. They showed up right on time, handled everything with care, and worked quickly without cutting corners. Moving is always stressful, but Anthony made the whole process easy and stress-free. Furniture was wrapped and protected, boxes were handled with care, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Professional, reliable, and hard-working exactly what you want in a moving company. I’d 100% recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a smooth move!
Abate moving service I can’t say anything but a 5 star service they are very good at what they do and efficient! I would recommend them a millions times and leave a million reviews if I could! They are awesome don’t miss out !
Anthony & team helped our family move from Pennsylvania all the way down to Florida. They were excellent every step of the way. Communication was great throughout the entire move. We got three quotes from local moving companies and Abate blew them out of the water! They are so reasonably priced for the high end service and care they provide. Highly recommend!!
Abate Moving Services moved our furniture. They were easy to schedule and kept me updated on their arrival time. They were efficient and moved everything smoothly. They deserve 5 stars, and I will suggest them to anyone who is looking for a moving company.
Excellent communication from this local business. The owner was in contact frequently to answer questions and did a thorough review of our furniture to ensure an accurate estimate with options.
The team was very carful and made sure nothing broke and they were fast and efficient.
We had an incredible experience with Abate Moving! Jacob, Chris, and Ace went above and beyond to make our move smooth and stress-free. They were professional, efficient, and handled all of our belongings with care. They worked quickly without ever compromising quality, and their positive attitude made the whole day so much easier. This team made it feel effortless. We’re so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and friendly movers!
Abate Moving Services takes their time to make sure that your move goes smoothly by planning out the move before time, but also the day of when the movers arrive. I had a move from Pittsburgh, PA to Reston, VA and they got my things the day before the move-in and came the day of. It was convenient for me to do it this way and Anthony was super helpful in making it happen. Alex, Jose and Eli were all attentive and made sure that my things fit in my new unit and things that didn’t they took care of for me. Some great people that take the stress out of moving. Would recommend Abate Moving to all in the Morgantown and Greater-Pittsburgh areas!
Excellent service on our move from Morgantown to the DC area. Punctual, careful in wrapping lamps and other fragile pieces, quick loading and unloading including heavy pieces, no dings despite multiple staircases. And at the end a huge extra-innings effort to get a large, heavy treadmill through a narrow door - they wouldn't give up and finally figured out how to get it through. Pleasant to deal with, professional in getting the job done, very reasonable on pricing.
When I rented a U-Haul and needed moving help same day, I called Anthony and he instantly got me two movers to come help me out. The movers were great with stocking the truck efficiently and working quickly. And Anthony was great to work with. Highly recommend!
Updated review: Used Abate services again. This company keeps getting better and better. If there is more than 5 stars, they definitely deserve it. Previous review: Outstanding service and experience from start to finish. Movers are punctual, efficient and pleasant. The entire Team goes above and beyond to taylor and plan their services to fit your needs. Highly recommended
Excellent moving company. Very professional, punctual and diligent workers. All of the furniture arrived intact and we had many delicate items. Would 100% use again and recommend to all. Pricing was also very fair for the amount of work that was done. Five stars!!
Good communication, showed up on time for loading and the next day's unloading.
Anthony and his crew were great to work with. Short notice for our move. Communication was quick and clear. Highly recommend.
Abate was awesome to work with! They moved our belongings from WV to GA and did it so quickly! Loading and unloading was a breeze and the team did it all with a smile! Great company and would use again
Had a great crew come out and move us. They did fantastic work and did it quickly. Would recommend them to anyone.
Outstanding company!!! Cooperative, accommodating, reliable, and very efficient! Turned a complex double site move from two cities in West Virginia into an unbelievable delivery in Burlington Vermont with no damage whatsoever. Second time we have utilized their services during the past two years. Flawless!
We’ve used this moving company three times now for our farm, and each experience has been excellent. They’re always quick to respond to inquiries and have been able to assist us promptly every time we’ve needed help even when it’s been short notice. All of the workers we’ve worked with have been great—professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough to praise these guys! Their attitude, abilities, efficiency, speed and thoroughness IMO is beyond awesome. I would refer them to anyone needing movers and packers. Definitely 5 ⭐️s!
Great experience with this company They were very professional and moved my grand piano with expertise. Easy to talk to the owner and well worth the money to have your needs moved group
Amazing team to work with! Treated our things like their own. Class act
Very professional. Had our furnishings placed in our new home when we got there.
I cannot recommend Abate Moving Company highly enough! They recently handled my move from Morgantown to Tuscaloosa, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The team of four movers was professional, efficient, and incredibly hardworking. Their rates were very reasonable, especially considering the level of service provided. Rodney, the foreman, kept everything running smoothly and made sure every detail was handled with care. His leadership ensured that the move stayed organized and stress-free. Anthony assured me beforehand that the job would be done on time and with professionalism—and he absolutely delivered on that promise. Every item arrived in perfect condition, and the crew went above and beyond to make the process seamless. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsive, and top-notch moving company, Abate is the one to call. Five stars all around!
The team (2) was great, polite and efficient. They made the process very smooth and worry free. They were on time and called to confirm our address and to let us know that they were on the way.
The guys at Abate did an excellent job moving all of my things for my recent out of town move. They took the time to wrap and protect all of the furniture, and disassembled/reassembled things quickly and efficiently to make it all a very smooth process. Rodney and Eli were awesome and handled everything with care and professionalism. I would highly recommend Abate moving company for your next move.
We follow this company on social media and they do excellent we would certainly recommend this company to anybody in the area, in need of movers.
Abate Moving Service was super professional, helpful, and all movers were so friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend for any moving services!
