Pollard The Mover

Pollard The Mover has been in business since 1951. Previously owned by Ivan Pollard, Peter Katcher became the current owner 26 years ago. Peter had begun working for Pollard The Mover at only 8 years old. Of course, at that age, he usually got stuck with all the dirty work, but now, he owns the company and continues to provide the same great raising and moving services today as Ivan Pollard did over 60 years ago.

Over the past 60 years the house moving industry has under gone many changes. With advances in technology, Pollard The Mover is able to operate more efficiently and pass the savings on to you through competitive rates. You can see some of our more unique moves in our gallery for an idea of what jobs we can handle.
