About Alberga Moving Services

Tony Alberga grew up on his family’s small orchard off Gapland Road near Myersville, in the shadow of the Catoctin ridge. As a teenager he spent summers helping his father haul produce to market — and just as often helping neighbors move furniture on that same flatbed truck. It was the kind of favor that turns into a reputation.

After high school, Tony enlisted in the Army Reserve, serving a decade as a unit supply sergeant, loading and staging equipment for units rotating through Fort Detrick. When his last deployment wound down in 2012, he registered Alberga Moving Services with two coolers, a borrowed 20-foot box truck, and a list of Frederick families who already knew him from years of moving them for free. That list became our first customers.

Fourteen years later, our team has grown to fourteen people, including eight movers, but the approach hasn’t changed: show up on time, protect the furniture, and charge what we quoted. We still run local Frederick moves alongside long-distance routes to cities like Baltimore and DC.

Tony still walks the bigger downtown Frederick jobs himself and keeps a hand in every new long-distance route the first few times it runs, making sure the crew knows the road before they drive it alone.

Renata Kessler has run our scheduling board since 2017. If you call our office with a quote request, she’s usually the one who calls back within the hour — she keeps the whole week’s routing straight before it ever hits the calendar.

Jamal Osei joined as lead estimator in 2019 and handles most of our in-home and video walkthroughs. Years of estimating Frederick County homes have given him a sharp eye for which downtown alleys and county driveways need the smaller truck instead of the full-size rig.

Patricia Vance has managed billing and insurance since 2020. She handles certificates of insurance for downtown Frederick apartment buildings and walks customers through claims paperwork on the rare occasion something needs it.

Cody Hartwell has led our local Frederick and Urbana crew since 2018. He knows which historic downtown blocks call for a hand truck instead of a dolly, a detail that saves door frames and banisters on Record Street and Carroll Creek jobs alike.

Derrick Boyle took over as long-distance crew chief in 2021 after eight years driving CDL for a regional produce hauler. He now leads our long-distance runs to Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, and plans routes around weather the way a produce driver learns to.

Together, the six of us have been running Frederick County moves for coming up on three decades combined — long enough to know which streets need extra care and which families call back for the next move too.
