1. Why Burlington Township Residents Choose Keep It Moving Services
Burlington Township has no shortage of moving companies willing to take your call. What’s harder to find is one that gives you a real quote, sends a real crew, and doesn’t hand you a surprise bill when the truck pulls away.
Keep It Moving Services is licensed (DOT 4197741 · NJPM 39PM00500100), fully insured, and has earned a 4.9-star rating across 244+ Google reviews from customers in Burlington Township, across Burlington County, and throughout New Jersey. We’re not competing on price with whoever quotes you the lowest number over the phone — we’re competing on what your moving day actually looks like.
Kesi Sistrunk-Lewis, the founder and owner of Keep It Moving Services, is Burlington County. She was raised in NJ, has been based here her entire adult life, and started this company at 21 with one truck and a commitment that the job gets done regardless of what comes up. That’s not a slogan. One afternoon, early on, a wheel decided it had somewhere else to be while the crew was headed to a Burlington County job. Three wheels, one job already on the calendar, and a customer who wasn’t going to reschedule. The job still had to get done. The crew got there. That’s the standard KIMS holds — and it’s why clients trust us with their furniture, their timelines, and their front doors.
We also know Burlington Township specifically. The older housing stock near Burlington City with the narrow hallways. The townhome communities off Route 130 where HOA parking rules dictate exactly where a truck can and can’t go. The spiral staircases in the colonials that look fine on Zillow and make a crew work for every inch of a sectional sofa. We build the plan around your actual property, not a generic checklist.
2. Our Moving Services in Burlington Township
Local & Residential Moves
Most Burlington Township jobs are local — across the township, across the county, or into a neighboring community. Our local residential moving service handles apartments, condos, townhomes, single-family houses, and multi-story colonials. We bring the truck, the crew, the moving blankets, and the equipment. One trip, one team, done.
Long-Distance Moves
Moving out of Burlington Township to another state? We handle interstate relocations with dedicated transport — your furniture goes on our truck and comes off at your destination, no shared shipments or mystery delays. Get a free estimate and we’ll walk through the specifics based on your timeline and destination.
Packing & Unpacking
Don’t want to spend the week before your move packing boxes? Our packing and unpacking service takes that entirely off your plate. We bring all materials, pack room by room, and can unpack and set up at the destination too. It’s a full add-on to any local or long-distance move — just tell us what level of help you want when you book.
Specialty & Last-Minute Moves
Piano that needs to move? A single oversized piece? A Burlington Township job that needs to happen this week? We handle it. Same-day and last-minute moves are part of what we do — we’ve taken calls the night before and delivered without a problem. For high-value or fragile items, our white-glove moving service adds the extra care those pieces need.
3. What a Burlington Township Move Actually Costs
Pricing is hourly, based on crew size. Here’s how it actually breaks down:
- 2-mover crew: from $69/hr per mover — right for smaller moves and most 1–2 bedroom jobs
- 3-mover crew: recommended for larger homes, anything with multiple flights of stairs, or heavy specialty furniture
- Minimum: 3-hour minimum on all jobs. Single-item moves require a $650 minimum regardless of time.
A typical 1–2 bedroom Burlington Township local move comes in at 3–5 hours. A full 4-bedroom house with stairs and a lot of furniture runs closer to 6–8 hours with a 3-person crew. We also charge a material surcharge of approximately 7% (shrink wrap, moving blankets, and consumables that go on every job) and a ~3% card processing fee if you pay by card.
What we don’t do: change the number after the truck is in your driveway. We go through the quote before moving day so you know exactly what you’re looking at. If something comes up on the day — a third flight of stairs that wasn’t mentioned, a piano that materialized out of nowhere — we talk about it before it affects the bill.
One practical note for Burlington Township moves: buildings and communities with HOA-mandated unloading windows, shared parking lots, or timed street parking can add time to the job. We ask about those upfront so we’re not burning your paid hours looking for somewhere to park the truck.
4. How to Plan Your Burlington Township Move
Most moves go significantly smoother when you start earlier than feels necessary:
- 6–8 weeks out: Declutter first. Anything donated or discarded before the move makes the actual move faster and cheaper — furniture that’s not going to the new place doesn’t need to go on the truck.
- 4–6 weeks out: Get your estimate and lock in your date. Peak summer weekends in Burlington County fill up quickly — 4 weeks is the minimum if you have a specific date in mind.
- 2–3 weeks out: Confirm utilities at both addresses. Setting up utilities before your move is one of those tasks that always ends up being more involved than expected if left to the last week.
- 1 week out: Label boxes by room and priority. “Kitchen — essentials” and “Bedroom 2 — non-urgent” is more useful to a moving crew than just a room name.
- Moving day: Keep irreplaceable items (documents, medication, valuables) in a separate bag with you — not on the truck.
For Burlington Township moves into townhome communities or apartment buildings with loading dock restrictions: confirm move-in hour requirements with your HOA or building manager before you book your moving date. Some Burlington Township communities require reserved loading zones — finding that out the morning of your move is a problem we’d both rather avoid.
5. Burlington Township: What to Know Before Moving Day
Burlington Township sits in western Burlington County, bordered by Burlington City, Bordentown Township, and the Delaware River. Route 130 runs through it and gives trucks reasonable access to most areas. A few things we’ve learned from doing this here regularly:
HOA communities. Several townhome and condo developments off Routes 130 and 541 have rules about where moving trucks can park and what hours they’re permitted. Always confirm before your move date — we’ll ask, but it helps to already know.
Older neighborhoods. Sections closer to Burlington City include narrow streets, on-street parking only, and houses with entryways that weren’t built with furniture dollies in mind. We plan for it — knowing in advance just means nothing is a surprise.
School calendar timing. Burlington Township School District’s academic calendar drives a significant amount of move volume. Summer weekends fill up well in advance; if you’re moving around a school schedule, 6+ weeks’ notice is worth it.
Delaware River crossings. Moves between Burlington Township and Pennsylvania go over the Burlington-Bristol Bridge. Peak-hour traffic on bridge crossings adds real time — factor it in if your move crosses the river.
