We all want to be wise consumers, try to save a dollar when we can. For this reason, it’s tempting to rent a moving truck rather than hire professional movers. I understand that—I’ve even helped people in such situations with professional packing supplies and services.

I was driving the Interstate the other day when I saw an oversize load traveling in the opposite direction. A convoy was moving an entire house intact — it was quite a production. “Well,” I thought “that’s one way to handle the packing.

Cleveland has come a long way over the last few decades to become a world class destination for living, buy working, and visiting. One of the most recent feathers in its fedora is being chosen as host city for the 2016 Republican Convention. There will be drama!

Something we routinely offer customers is a free quote for moving services. This is pretty common in the moving industry—and it should be. Making a move isn’t an easy, one-size-fits-all purchase. Your move is uniquely yours; it may be similar to others, but it’s not identical.

It’s not quite on the scale of the Israelites fleeing Egypt. But an Exodus is taking place. Movers in Pennsylvania (and moving companies in Pittsburgh, such as Weleski) are seeing it firsthand. More people are moving out of the Keystone State than moving in.

From accounting to marketing, from sales to human resources, record-keeping comes with a lot of paper baggage. Even in this so-called digital age. Checks, invoices, reports, contracts, etc. all add up to hundreds (if not thousands) of pounds.

They say there’s no place like home for the holidays. That’s especially true if your home happens to be Pittsburgh. In late November, the city becomes all aglitter with holiday festivity. There is so much to do and see that it’s tough to choose, but here are our five favorite holiday highlights.

Moving to Pittsburgh? Moving from Pittsburgh? You may be glad to know Weleski is considered a premier company among Pittsburgh movers. We’ve been in the moving business since 1909. We provide a complete range of local and long-distance moving services from our headquarters in Tarentum.

“It” is the “award of awards” in our business—the Milt Hill Quality Award. In November, Atlas recognized our Pittsburgh movers again (fourteen years straight) for an outstanding commitment to quality.  It was also the first time our Cleveland moving company location received the award.

Like every industry, moving employs a lot of different people with varying skills and capabilities. By some accounts, anyone who earns money from their work is deemed a “professional.” Here at Weleski, we believe professionalism is much more than the ability to draw a paycheck.
