Pass along a handful of details and we write you back a single honest flat rate, the downtown COI and any heated winter storage already counted in.

Or call (888) 711-4778

Look for your written rate back from our Brookpark Road office, usually the same working day. Pulling the number together is on us, and asking puts you on the hook for nothing — take your time with it and book only if it sits right. Whatever you put in these boxes stays with the person figuring your price and goes no further.

Mentor moving, out in Lake County

Mentor is the far east end of our map, out in Lake County off I-90 past the Cuyahoga line, and we cover it like our own backyard. The housing is suburban and varied: postwar ranches and capes on the older streets, bigger colonials in the developments off Mentor Avenue and Hopkins, lakeshore homes up toward Mentor-on-the-Lake, and condos near the Great Lakes Mall. A lot of folks here commute the long haul into Cleveland or the Clinic, so we schedule around real lives.

Ranches, colonials, and lakeshore homes

The older Mentor ranches and capes are clean single-level or low-stair moves with the usual full basement and garage. The newer colonials run bigger. And the lakeshore homes up north come with their own quirks — sandy, sloping lots, walk-out levels facing the water, and the occasional long private drive. Our crew reads the access first and brings the truck to the right spot rather than guessing.

The Lake County distance and the commute

Being out past the county line, Mentor is a real drive from the West Side, but we are an Ohio-licensed mover covering all of Northeast Ohio, so it is no stretch for us. We stage the truck off I-90, work weekends for the commuters, and handle the moves both ways — into Mentor from the city, or out of Mentor when a family is heading down to Columbus or south for the winter. Heated storage covers any gap in between.

One fair flat rate, distance and all

The Lake County distance is exactly the kind of thing a sloppy mover tacks on at the end. We do not. The drive, the access, and the load are all in the one flat rate Sharon writes before move day, and that is the figure you pay — lake-effect snow off Erie included.

The truck and everything stowed in it — floor runners, quilted pads, dollies, you name it — sit inside that rate from the first minute. There is a three-hour minimum, and a run-of-the-mill Mentor cottage or condo job usually comes in somewhere around three to five hours on the clock.

Common questions we get about moving in Mentor

Common questions on a move to Mentor

Mentor is way out in Lake County. Do you even cover it?
Yes — Mentor is on our regular map. We are an Ohio-licensed mover covering all of Northeast Ohio, so the distance off I-90 past the county line is no stretch. We stage the truck off the interstate so the drive is the easy part.
My lakeshore home has a walk-out and a long drive. Can you manage the access?
We can. The sandy sloping lots and walk-out levels up toward the lake are familiar — our crew reads the access first and brings the truck to the right spot rather than guessing at a long private drive.
I commute into Cleveland all week. Can you move me on a weekend?
Yes. A lot of Mentor folks make the long commute, so we schedule weekend and flexible move days. Tom maps the route and timing so it fits your week, not the other way around.
Does the Lake County distance get added to the bill later?
No. The drive, the access, and the load are all in the one flat rate Sharon writes up front. The distance is a sloppy mover's favorite surprise charge, and we never play it that 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.
