“They did a great job with most things. There were some packing and furniture damage which will we put in a claim. Nothing major, lamp scratches and furniture gouges.”
David H.
We move a lot of small spaces fast and clean. Downtown lofts around Main Street and Lock 3 usually mean a freight elevator and a posted window — miss it and the building bumps you to next week, so we book it ahead and stage the hallway to load in one trip. Student rentals near the University of Akron are tight-stair walk-ups, often on a Friday-to-Sunday turnaround when leases flip.
Out in the Fairlawn and Cuyahoga Falls complexes, the challenge is usually distance, not stairs: long exterior breezeways and a parking lot between the door and the truck. We bring the dollies and floor runners to make that carry quick and damage-free.
What an apartment move costs
Apartment jobs price like our local moves — flat band or hourly, whichever fits the space.
| Apartment size | Typical flat range |
|---|---|
| Studio / loft | $300 – $500 |
| 1-bedroom | $500 – $820 |
| 2-bedroom | $860 – $1,360 |
Prefer hourly for a quick walk-up? Two movers and a truck run $119/hr, three movers $159/hr, billed after the first hour. A $99 deposit holds your date and comes off the total.
What is not included
We flag these before booking so nothing stalls at the loading dock:
- Boxing up the apartment — that is our full-pack service, from $340, or partial packing for just the kitchen and closets.
- Certificate-of-insurance fees a building may charge (we provide the COI itself at no cost).
- Specialty items like a small piano, from $329.
- Storage between leases, from $45/month per vault — handy for student summer gaps.
We work the building’s clock
Reserved elevators and dock windows are the part most people forget until move day. We ask about them during the estimate, send your building manager a certificate of insurance ahead of time, and stage the load so we are in and out inside the window. The same uniformed crew handles the whole job — we run the truck ourselves, so there is no waiting on a subcontractor who does not know the building.
