McMurray Movers for Peters Township Homes
McMurray sits inside Peters Township, and for 1st Step Movers it is next door: our base on Highland Ave in Canonsburg shares the same 15317 ZIP code. We move many families across McMurray and the rest of the township, from Donaldson’s Crossroads to the quieter streets farther out.
Peters Township has grown a lot over the last few decades, from about 17,500 people in 2000 to nearly 23,000 in 2020. When the move is a full family home with several bedrooms, a finished basement and a garage, it needs the right size crew and a careful plan more than a quick truck run.
We plan around the house: how many floors, how long the driveway is, what is in the basement and which pieces are heavy or fragile. For a full home we can handle the packing services too, with boxes and padding included.
Call (724) 986-9287 Monday to Saturday from 7 AM to 7 PM and tell us about the house you are leaving and the one you are moving into.
Moving in Peters Township: What Shapes the Day
Details about the township we plan around.
Route 19 at Donaldson’s Crossroads
Washington Road meets East and West McMurray Road at the crossroads, the busiest corner in McMurray. We time truck trips around that traffic where we can.
Multi level houses
A house with a basement, two floors and a garage takes more people and more time than an apartment. We size the crew to the house so the day does not run long.
A big township
Peters Township covers about 19.7 square miles, so two addresses inside it can still be a real drive apart. We plan the route before the truck leaves.
School calendar moves
The Peters Township School District is based in McMurray, and many families time a move around the school year. Summer dates fill up, so book early if you are aiming for one.

Very close. We are based at 605 Highland Ave in Canonsburg, which shares the 15317 ZIP code with McMurray. Short travel means our crews can start McMurray jobs early in the day, and more of your booked time goes to the move itself rather than the drive.
It depends on how much is packed, how many large pieces there are and how many stairs sit between the rooms and the truck. Most full family homes need a crew of three or more. Call (724) 986-9287 with a room by room picture and we will recommend a crew size.
