Rowhome on George Street, ranch in Spring Garden, twin over in Springettsbury: Owen Kessler built Apollo on one idea, send trained hands with a real truck, quote a single price, and stand behind it. Every mover on the crew handles skid boards and piano boards as part of basic training, so a piano on the inventory never turns move day upside down.
Inside a York local job
- Walkthrough or a short video call, then a signed number
- Furniture wrapped in-room prior to crossing a hallway
- Beds, tables, cribs disassembled and put back together upon arrival
- Stairwells and door frames padded at pickup and again at drop-off
- Piano handling covered in-house by trained hands, no outside sub
What move morning looks like
- Arrival window confirmed Owen’s dispatcher calls ahead so someone’s ready at the curb, whether it’s a tight George Street block or a Dover cul-de-sac.
- Systematic wrap Nothing leaves unwrapped, and heavy pieces get tagged so placement is quick on arrival.
- The drive itself Most jobs stay inside the I-83 / US-30 loop, so a three-bedroom house is usually finished before dinner.
- Placement and reassembly Furniture goes where you point, beds get rebuilt, boxes land stacked by room.
Where the signed number stops
Your local total does not grow because of an hourly meter or a mid-move stair charge in a downtown rowhome. Box-packing is priced separately — see packing and specialty item services. If a piano is on the inventory, it’s already a line item on the paperwork ahead of load day.
