From a yard off Benner Pike in State College, Behrens Moving and Storage runs nine service lines across Centre County and the Nittany Valley. Every truck carries our own W-2 crew, never a brokered handoff, and the number Gary writes down before the truck leaves is the number you pay at the curb.

Centre County service lines

Each job below ships with the truck, blankets, dollies, and $1M cargo coverage already built into the rate. Crew size depends on stair count, driveway grade, and which corner of the five-county Central PA map the job sits in.

Service Best for
Local Moving Jobs inside State College and along the I-99 corridor — hourly or flat rate.

Full Packing Kitchens, china, and breakables boxed room by room, materials supplied.
Climate-Controlled Storage Held steady through a Nittany Valley winter between closings, billed monthly.
Piano & Specialty Uprights, baby grands, gun safes, and pool tables priced as their own line item.
Loading & Unloading Labor-only for a rental, POD, or U-Box — we bring pads, dollies, and muscle.
Senior & Downsizing Paced relocation for longtime Boalsburg and Bellefonte residents.

Our trucks, our roster

Six trucks and a uniformed W-2 roster. Craig Musser runs dispatch, Todd Behrens and Ray Confer chief the crews, and Donna Kephart keeps the office in step with the trucks. The team that quotes the job is the team that shows up — no second carrier, ever.

How a written quote works

We price the work before the first carton leaves the house, so nothing shifts at the curb. Tell us about the home, the driveway grade, and the date, and a flat written number comes back the same business hour.

  1. Tell us the basics. Home size, pickup and drop neighborhoods, driveway grade or dock access, target date.
  2. We size the crew. Two or three movers and the right truck for the inventory.
  3. You get it in writing. A flat rate for local work and a binding number for any long-distance lane.
  4. We lock the date. Reserve the slot — Penn State move weeks and White-Out football Saturdays fill first, so book ahead.

Why Centre County Books Behrens Moving and Storage

From Boalsburg farmhouses and Bellefonte Victorians to corporate-transfer condos and Mount Nittany hillside homes — a crew that knows Centre, Clearfield, and Blair County streets block by block.

Winter-Ready Loadouts

January ice storms, lake-effect snow bands, steep ridge-road grades — we roll up with floor runners, shrink wrap, and pad-wrapped dollies. Tight Boalsburg curbs and steep Mount Nittany driveways get a smaller truck and slower grade.

Top-Rated PA Crews

Every hand at your door is on our payroll — full-time, W-2, background-checked, trained the way Gary runs the yard. Never day labor. That is how we hold a 5-star Google rating.

One Flat Written Rate

Your figure is set on paper before the first carton leaves, and it holds whether I-99 stacks or the job runs late. Long hauls come back as a binding written total — nothing added at the curb.

No Broker Handoffs

Every truck wears our name; every mover draws a W-2 paycheck. Your load is never handed off — one State College 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 crossing state lines. A $1 million cargo policy backs every job.

On Time Across the Metro

Two-hour arrival window, a call the moment we leave the yard. We route around the I-99 merge near Bellefonte and the Atherton Street backup, so your closing date holds.

Packing & Supplies Included

Pack the whole house, the wraparound porch, or just the rooms keeping you up at night. Cartons, pads, dollies, and shrink film ride on the truck — wrapping starts the moment we step inside.

Specialty Pieces Handled

Upright pianos, gun safes, and antique sideboards get the right ramp and straps — plus a crew chief who has eased them down Tussey Ridge steps and out of Bellefonte walk-ups without a scratch.

Your Easy State College Move

A flat written rate, then loading, then unloading at your new Centre County address — three steps, start to finish.

1

Tell Us About Your Move

Share the basics — rooms, wraparound porch, tight Boalsburg village curb access, any upright piano or gun safe — and Gary’s office prices it as one clear flat figure with no fine print.

2

We Wrap & Protect

The crew rolls up on time, pads and shrink-wraps every piece — farmhouse porches, downtown high-rise units, narrow Bellefonte third-floor walk-ups — and shoulders all the heavy lifting.

3

Move to Your New Home

We drive across Centre County or out I-99 toward Pittsburgh and US-322 toward Harrisburg, unload box by box into the right rooms, and reassemble the furniture. Welcome home!
