Behrens Moving and Storage
A State College relocation crew built for Penn State White-Out Saturday gridlock, Boalsburg farmhouse and Bellefonte Victorian walk-ups, Mount Nittany Medical Center staff transfers, and a flat figure committed to paper before the truck rolls off our Benner Pike yard — the standard Gary holds his crew to through every January ice storm, plus our own trucks and W-2 movers from the first carton wrapped to the last upright piano carried up the stairs.

Why State College Books Behrens Moving and Storage
From Boalsburg farmhouses and Bellefonte Victorians to Mount Nittany hillside homes and downtown State College walk-ups — a crew that reads Centre, Clearfield, and Blair County streets by feel.
Real-Winter Loadouts
January ice storms, lake-effect snow off the ridges, driveways that glaze over by dusk — we roll up with floor runners, traction mats, and pad-wrapped dollies built for Appalachian winter. Climate-controlled storage stands by the moment a Centre County closing slides a day.
College Turnover Veterans
May and August bring Penn State pack-outs near campus, faculty moves into Boalsburg, and student turnover through downtown State College and Houserville. We hold timed dock slots at apartment buildings and run smaller box trucks through tight College Avenue one-ways.
One Flat Written Rate
Your figure is locked on paper before a single carton leaves, and it holds whether I-99 stacks at a ridge cut or the job runs late. Long hauls out to Altoona or Harrisburg come back as a binding written total — nothing tacked on at the curb.
No Broker Handoff, Ever
Every Behrens truck wears our name; every hand on the dolly is a W-2 employee on our payroll — never a contractor off a board. Your load is never handed off; one company packs it, drives it, and carries it in.
Fully Insured, $1M Cargo
Registered Pennsylvania household-goods carrier — PA PUC authority on file in-state, US DOT and MC for jobs across the state line. A $1 million cargo policy backs every State College job.
On Time Across the Metro
Two-hour arrival window, a call the moment we leave our Benner Pike yard. We route around the I-99 ridge cuts, the Atherton Street bottleneck, and a Penn State White-Out closure so your deadline holds.
Packing & Supplies Included
Pack the whole house, the farmhouse attic, or just the rooms keeping you up at night. Cartons, pads, dollies, and straps ride on the truck — wrapping starts the minute we step inside.
Specialty Pieces Handled
Upright pianos, gun safes, and antique sideboards get the right ramp, the right straps, and a crew chief who has eased them down a Boalsburg farmhouse porch and out of a downtown State College third-floor walk-up without a scratch.
Free Estimate in One Hour
Send the details. Someone at our Benner Pike office — not a call bank — writes back your flat figure inside the hour. No obligation. Or request a written quote.
This Week Across Centre County
A steady week for the crew — here is what is on the dispatcher board right now.
We Know State College. We Move PA.
A name Gary has built one careful Centre County household at a time since 2009 — from Boalsburg farmhouses to downtown State College condos.
Your Full-Service State College Mover
From downtown State College loft condos and Boalsburg farmhouses to single-story homes in Bellefonte and hillside estates along Mount Nittany — every shape of relocation across Centre County.
Local Moving
Same-day and next-day work across Centre County — Boalsburg, Bellefonte, Pine Grove Mills, Port Matilda. Our W-2 crew stages early so the driveway clears before a January ice storm or a Penn State White-Out Saturday chokes Atherton Street.
Learn More →Long-Distance Moving
One written rate and the same crew the whole way — I-99 south to Altoona and Pittsburgh, US-322 east to Harrisburg and Philadelphia, north to Williamsport and Erie. The movers who load you are the ones who unload you.
Learn More →Residential Moving
Whole-house jobs for Boalsburg farmhouses, Centre Hall dairy-country properties, and Mount Nittany and Tussey Ridge hillside homes. Steep-driveway staging included. One flat number, locked in writing.
Learn More →Apartment & Condo Moving
Downtown State College walk-ups along College Avenue, Bellefonte Victorian conversions, off-campus Penn State apartments. We pull the building permit, hold the loading dock, and protect your move-in window.
Learn More →Full Packing
We pack the whole house or just the kitchen, office, and breakables, with extra cushion for a January ice storm or a fall leaf-season downpour. Every box rides under the same $1M cargo coverage.
Learn More →Short-Term Storage
Climate-controlled storage by the month so books, electronics, and wood furniture do not freeze in an unheated barn or sweat through a humid Centre County August. Dry, conditioned, and locked when a closing slips or a Penn State lease bridges the season.
Learn More →Piano Moving
A general-line State College mover, not a piano specialist — but the crew runs uprights, consoles, and baby grands monthly with skid boards, four-way straps, and four sets of hands. The piano gets its own line on your flat rate.
Learn More →Loading & Unloading
Rented a U-Haul, a Penske, or dropped a pod? Our crew loads or unloads it tight — for downsizers, Penn State students, or DIY moves out toward Philipsburg or Houserville. Book two, three, or four movers by the hour.
Learn More →Senior Moving
Calm, unhurried downsizing for the 55-plus communities around Boalsburg, Bellefonte, and Pine Grove Mills. We sort, pack, and resettle what is coming along, then store, donate, or haul the rest — one flat rate, written up front.

Our 5-star reputation comes from Centre County families and Clearfield County households we have helped relocate since 2009.
“Amazing movers! Friendly, careful, respectful, and professional! Best movers we have ever had.”
“Your guys were outstanding. Couldn’t have been happier with how well it went. Will be referring you guys to everyone. I appreciate it so much!”
“Friendly service. Great team. Quick and took extra care of my items. Thank you!”
“The movers that were sent to my home took their time in making sure everything was treated fragile and packed with care. They got me all settled in and made sure it went smooth and seamless”
A Note From Gary
“I grew up loading my grandfather’s flatbed around the Centre County limestone quarries and dairy farms, drove I-99 and US-322 for a regional van line out of Altoona, and founded Behrens Moving and Storage here in 2009. My grandfather ran a hauling business out of Bellefonte — our name is back on a truck the way he ran it — and it means one flat rate in writing, our own trucks and W-2 crews, never a stranger handling your boxes. That is the company we show up for every January ice storm.”
