Modena is a borough of a few hundred people on Route 82 along the Brandywine’s West Branch, just south of Coatesville. A handful of short streets sit between the creek and the hill, and the creek has come up over the road in big storms. Moves here are small, quick, and shaped by the water. LiteMovers has moved Modena households since 2007.

Watching the Creek
The West Branch of the Brandywine runs beside Route 82 through Modena, and in big storms it has crossed the road. We check the forecast the day before a Modena move and keep the truck on the higher side when the creek is up. The start time moves if it has to. Basements near the water are checked for dampness before boxes go down.
Short Streets, Short Truck
Modena’s streets cannot take a full-size truck comfortably. We send a shorter one, park on the house side with cones, and carry from the street. Most homes here are compact enough that one short truck does the whole job in a morning. Route 82 traffic passes close, so a spotter stands at the curb while the ramp is down.

Steep Stairs and Back-Yard Basements
Modena’s older frame houses have steep stairs, small rooms, and basements that open to the back yard. We measure on the estimate and use straps for the pieces that cannot turn the stairs. Basement contents go out the back door when there is one. Our Chester County packing crews box a Modena home in a few hours.
