We try to be plain about pricing, licensing, and how a CLC Services move actually runs. A few of the common ones are below; the rest we’re happy to cover on the phone.
Still have a question?
Call (888) 711-4778 or email [email protected]. We answer Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and a real person picks up.
How does CLC Services price a move — hourly or flat?
Both, depending on what fits your job. Local moves run $119/hr for a two-mover crew and truck or $159/hr for three movers, with blankets, dollies, and tools included. We also quote flat bands by home size — for example $500–$820 for a one-bedroom or $1,450–$2,250 for a three-bedroom. Either way, you get the number in writing before we start.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes — a $99 deposit locks your date on our calendar, and it comes straight off your final total. You won’t put it down until you’ve seen your flat written price, and nothing else is due until the move is done.
What’s included in the price?
Your crew, the truck, fuel within our service area, and all the moving pads, dollies, straps, and tools we bring. We wrap furniture and pad doorways at no extra charge. The only add-ons are things like packing materials, specialty items such as a piano or safe, or storage if you need it.
Can you pack for me?
We can pack the whole house or just the rooms you’d rather not touch. Full-pack starts at $340 for materials and labor, and partial packing is available — kitchens and china closets are popular ones to hand off. We bring our own paper, cartons, and tape.
For a long-distance move, does my stuff share a truck with other people’s?
No. Your shipment rides our own dedicated truck from your door to the new one — no shared loads, no warehouse transfer, no swapping to another company’s rig. The same CLC crew that loads in Akron is on the truck when it’s unloaded. Binding flat-rate quotes start at $1,850.
What kind of insurance and liability coverage do you carry?
We’re bonded and insured, with up to $1,000,000 of cargo coverage per shipment. Released-value protection at $0.60 per pound is included by default, as required, and you can choose full-value protection for a higher level of coverage. We’ll explain both before you sign.
Are you properly licensed in Ohio?
Yes. We hold US DOT and MC authority for interstate moves and Ohio Public Utilities Commission (PUCO) household-goods motor-carrier authority for moves within the state. We keep all of it current, and we’re glad to share our numbers.
Are you a broker or a matching service?
No — CLC Services is a fully licensed and insured local moving company based in Akron, OH, with our own trucks and uniformed crews, US DOT/MC authority and Ohio PUCO household-goods authority on file. We are not a broker, a marketplace, or a quote-comparison site. We run the trucks and our own employees do every job.
Do you offer storage?
Yes — climate-controlled short-term storage from $45 a month per vault. It’s handy when closing dates don’t line up. Our crew loads and pulls your vault, so your goods stay with CLC the whole time instead of going to a third-party warehouse.
Do you move in the winter? Akron gets a lot of snow.
We do, all season. We’re a snow-belt company, so our trucks and crews are set up for cold, ice, and short January daylight. We salt walkways, lay floor runners against slush, and pad-wrap so condensation never reaches your furniture. Winter dates are often easier to book, too.
Can you handle a century home with narrow stairs, or a third-floor walk-up?
That’s a big part of what we do. West Akron and Highland Square are full of older homes with tight turning staircases, porches, and no driveway, and downtown has its share of stair-only lofts. Our crew leads measure the tricky pieces, plan the angles, and protect the trim before anything moves.
How far ahead should I book?
For a weekday move we’d like about a week or two of notice; for a weekend or the end of the month, two to four weeks is safer since those fill up first. That said, we keep some room for short-notice moves — call (888) 711-4778 and we’ll tell you honestly what’s open.
