Relocating a whole house is a different animal from a quick apartment job: more rooms, a steep driveway to navigate, winter tie-down concerns to work around, and farm-country access to plan for. Behrens Moving and Storage handles full residential relocation across Centre County on one flat written rate, cellar to attic.
The State College homes we relocate
Centre County housing stock runs from Victorian homes in Bellefonte to farmhouses in Boalsburg and newer two-story builds throughout Centre Hall. Most Central PA homes we touch involve a steep driveway, a detached garage, or a gravel farm lane to coordinate. We size the crew to the home rather than the truck.
Hillside and ridge homes
Homes on Mount Nittany and Tussey Ridge — steep switchback driveways, narrow turnarounds, and winter ice that needs sanding before any case goods land on the runner.
Farm-country and village builds
Dairy-country properties in Centre Hall, Spring Mills, and Boalsburg — long gravel lanes, detached barns full of stored belongings, and distance access that sometimes means a shuttle truck. See the full town list on our service-areas page.
How we protect the house
Floors and trim absorb the most damage in a careless job, so protection is standard rather than an upsell. The crew sets up before the first carton leaves the garage.
- Floor runners and stair pads on the main carry paths
- Door-frame and corner guards at every doorway
- Shrink-wrap and blankets on dressers, sofas, and case goods
- Mattress and TV cartons; beds and tables disassembled and rebuilt
- Garage and barn loads built into the plan, not skipped
| Home size | Flat written rate |
|---|---|
| 2-bedroom house | $950-$1,550 |
| 3-bedroom house | $1,750-$2,800 |
| 4-bedroom house | $3,000-$4,400 |
One flat rate for the whole house
Flat written rate. We quote one price for the full home — every room, garage, barn — so the number does not climb because a Tussey Ridge driveway needed extra sanding against an overnight freeze. Pianos and climate-controlled storage carry their own clear lines if you need them.
Planning a winter house move
A full house move can eat most of a day, and Central PA weather turns fast once a November cold front rolls off the ridges. We start crews early to beat the ice. If the move doubles as a downsize, ask about our senior moving help, and request a free quote when ready.

What It Costs Around State College
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and bigger State College jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls off Benner Pike.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded box truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the entire State College job folded into a single Behrens Moving and Storage rate, with no handoff to a third-party van line at any point in the day.
