Cleveland Heights moving, from the Heights up

Cleveland Heights is full of the kind of house that needs a real crew: solid brick colonials and stucco-and-timber Tudors along the side streets off Cedar, Lee, and Coventry, most of them eighty or ninety years old with the original everything. Slate roofs, leaded windows, plaster walls, and a center staircase that turns hard at the landing. We move these homes the careful way, with our own W-2 crew that knows what is irreplaceable and what just looks heavy.

Old brick colonials and turning staircases

The classic Heights colonial has a center hall, a tight turn on the main stair, and a finished attic up a second, narrower flight. We pad the plaster corners and the original woodwork before anything moves, because a gouge in ninety-year-old trim is not something you replace at the hardware store. Big armoires and headboards come apart and go down on end. The crew chief sets the order so the heavy stuff moves first while everyone is fresh.

Tight streets and tree-lawn parking

The side streets up here are lined with mature trees and narrow tree-lawns, so the truck parks at the curb and the crew works the front walk. We scout the parking before move day and, on the tightest blocks near Coventry, we plan the loading window around the neighborhood. Coming down off the Heights toward University Circle, we time it so the truck is never sitting in the wrong place.

One fair flat rate, written down first

An old Heights house is exactly where a phone lowball turns ugly once a mover sees the stairs and the plaster. We do not do that. Sharon writes one flat rate that already accounts for the turning staircase, the attic, and the careful handling, and that is the figure you pay on move day.

Common questions we get about moving in Cleveland Heights

Common questions on a move to Cleveland Heights

My Heights colonial has original plaster and woodwork. Will it survive the move?
Yes. We pad the plaster corners and the original trim before a single piece moves, because ninety-year-old woodwork is not something you replace at the hardware store. Careful handling on the old homes is exactly what we are built for.
The main stair turns hard at the landing. Can you get my furniture through?
We can. Those turning Heights staircases are standard for us — we take the big armoires and headboards apart where they come apart and run them down on end. The chief plans the route before we touch anything.
Can you empty the finished attic too?
Yes. The third-floor attics up the narrower second flight come down with the rest of the house. We figure that extra carry into the flat rate so it is not a surprise on move day.
Where does the truck park on these narrow streets?
At the curb on the tree-lawn, and the crew works the front walk. We scout the parking ahead of time, and on the tightest blocks near Coventry we plan the loading window so the truck is never in the way.

We have eased our trucks up these driveways more times than we can keep track of.

Narrow tree-lawn drives, Cleveland basement stairs, and the COI a downtown building keeps on file are all standard fare for us on these blocks. Tell us what is going and the pads, the truck, and our own crew all land inside one figure you see before a single box gets lifted.
