About Delauters A1 Moving Helpers
Delauter’s A-1 Services was established in 1993 by John Delauter upon retiring from his position in corrections at York County Prison. He started the company part-time as a “jack of all trades” offering home repair, lawn care, and help with moves. As years passed he realized there was more of a demand for moving help than the other services and began operating as Delauter’s A-1 Moving Helpers.

Residential Moving Services
You can depend on Delauter’s experienced movers that provide quality service and give you peace of mind. Our friendly movers will securely pack your belongings, and safely deliver them to your new home. We take every precaution to protect your home during the move.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment
is traveling.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a truck, it is often necessary
for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully
sectioned off from the others.
With the help of computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates
are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the trucks,
as well as shipment weight.
