As the northernmost town in Frederick County, Emmitsburg has a split identity: a small college-town rhythm around Mount St. Mary’s University, and the quiet rural farmland that surrounds it on every side.
We see both kinds of moves — students and staff needing a quick apartment move near campus, and families relocating in or out of the farm properties just outside town. A dorm-adjacent studio and a hundred-acre property call for very different crews, and we size the truck and the number of movers accordingly for each one.
Being this close to the Pennsylvania line, an Emmitsburg move sometimes crosses state boundaries even when the drive is short, which is exactly the kind of job our long-distance crew under Derrick Boyle handles regularly. Local jobs stay with our local crew, with the same flat-rate, no-hidden-fee quote either way.
Alberga Moving Services is licensed and insured, veteran-owned, and staffed by our own W-2 movers — never subcontractors passed off as our crew. Neighboring Thurmont is on the same route, so back-to-back bookings are common, and same-week availability is typical outside of peak season.

- Fast turnaround for apartment moves near Mount St. Mary's
- Long-distance crew for moves crossing the Pennsylvania line

Our Services
Nine services, one crew. A studio near Carroll Creek and a five-bedroom bound for Baltimore draw from the same roster of movers and the same trucks in our lot — and once you book, the work stays with us from the first box to the last.
Our Range Of Services IncludesLocal Frederick Moves
Row houses off Record Street, split-levels near Ballenger Creek, farmhouses out past Ijamsville — our crew moves whatever Frederick County puts in front of us, usually done before dinner.
Learn More →Long-Distance Moves from Frederick
When a Fort Detrick contractor gets reassigned to Pittsburgh or a family relocates for a job in DC, the load doesn't get handed off to a subcontractor halfway there — the crew that packs it is the crew that carries it in.
Learn More →Frederick County Home Moves
Whether it's a rowhouse near Carroll Creek or a five-bedroom out past Urbana, Frederick County families get the same deal — full crew, full truck, one number agreed on before moving day.
Learn More →Downtown Frederick Apartment & Condo Moves
Historic downtown Frederick means narrow stairwells and nowhere to park a big truck; the newer buildings off Route 26 mean freight elevators and a certificate of insurance for the property office. We plan and staff each kind separately instead of treating an apartment like a scaled-down house move.
Learn More →Full-Service Packing for Frederick County Homes
Book the packing crew for the day before and you wake up to a house already boxed — dishes in real dish-packs, closets and the garage sorted, every carton marked by room. We supply the boxes and paper, so there's no last-minute run to the hardware store.
Learn More →Short-Term Storage Around Closing Delays
When a settlement date slides and you're caught between homes, we keep your belongings in a climate-controlled bay on our end and redeliver once you close — nobody should be prying open a frozen driveway pod in the middle of a Frederick winter.
Learn More →Piano Moving Across Frederick County
Uprights, spinets, and the occasional baby grand come out of Frederick's tight Victorian foyers on proper piano boards and skids, legs and pedals padded, so neither the instrument nor your hardwood picks up a scuff on the way to the truck.
Learn More →Loading & Unloading Help in Frederick
Driving the rental yourself but not looking forward to the heavy lifting? Hire a pair of our movers by the hour to load or unload it — you keep the keys and the route, we take the couch, the fridge, and whatever else has to come down the stairs.
Learn More →Senior & Downsizing Moves in Frederick County
Downsizing after decades in one Frederick County house is really a sorting job with some heavy lifting attached. There's no clock on it — we go room by room at your speed, tag every carton so nothing vanishes in the move, and drop the give-away pile at donation on our way out.
Learn More →Four Steps, Start To Finish
Ask a dozen Frederick customers how their move went and you'll get the same four-step answer — here's what each one actually looks like.
Jamal Walks The Job First
A quick video tour or an in-home look tells him what a phone guess can't — the third-floor walk-up downtown, the barn full of storage out past Jefferson, the piano nobody mentioned — and the number comes off that.
Patricia Locks Down The Details
Valuation coverage and any certificate of insurance a downtown building manager asks for are handled before the truck rolls, along with the written price — so nothing gets sorted out in the driveway on moving day.
Cody Or Derrick Runs The Crew
Local job or long haul, the crew chief on site wraps every piece before it leaves a room and maps out the narrow Catoctin-foothill driveways and rowhouse stairwells instead of forcing them.
We Put The House Back Together
Beds get reassembled, each carton goes to the room it's marked for, and the spent wrap and flattened boxes leave with the crew rather than piling up in your garage.
Why Frederick Keeps Booking Us
Your Move Has A Foreman, Not A Rotation
Book a local job and Cody's crew shows up — the chief who can tell at the curb which downtown block wants a hand truck instead of a dolly. Headed out of state? That falls to Derrick, who drove CDL for a produce hauler for years before he took over our long runs. Either way you get a name and a face, not whoever the schedule spat out that morning.
Ice On Route 15 Doesn't Cancel Your Move
When a storm glazes the Golden Mile or a nor'easter buries the Catoctin ridge, we don't bump you — the weather is already built into the schedule before it arrives. The trucks carry salt and traction ramps for slick historic-downtown steps, and if your closing slides because of the storm, we hold your date instead of sending you to the back of the line.
One Truck, All The Way There
A long-distance move with us never changes hands at a warehouse halfway down the road. The crew that loads your place in Frederick is the crew that walks the last box into the new one, whether that's a two-hour run to Baltimore or a full day to Pittsburgh — Derrick drives the lane end to end, so your things never ride with a stranger.

What Our Clients Say
“Needed a Pittsburgh move on short notice for a new contract. Jamal quoted it over the phone the same day, and the truck that loaded here in Frederick was the same one unloading there two days later.”
“Third floor of an old downtown building, no elevator, and I was sure something would get wrecked on the stairs. The two movers just took the landing turns slow and kept at it — my grandmother's mirror came through without a scratch. We ran maybe forty minutes past the estimate, but nobody tried to charge me extra for it.”
“I hate packing more than almost anything, so I hired it out this time. The Alberga crew showed up at eight, and by early afternoon every closet, cabinet, and shelf in our Middletown place was boxed and labeled — I didn't have to touch a roll of tape.”
