Our services extend beyond traditional moving to include downsizing assistance, storage unit management, furniture delivery, and specialized packing solutions. We serve Central Ohio six days a week, focusing on reducing the stress associated with household transitions.Our equipment and expertise allow us to handle everything from whole-house moves to specific item removals. We maintain a debt-free business model while continuously expanding our capabilities to better serve our community. Our team's experience spans years of hands-on moving and logistics work, ensuring efficient and reliable service delivery. We prioritize clear communication throughout every project, from initial consultation to final execution. Our commitment to quality service has established us as a trusted local moving partner.

I needed one item brought to my house from Easton to Powell. The other moving companies I contacted didnt answer
Or had you fill out a long form or their prices were outrageous! One old man answered the phone!!! It was a live person and they picked up my item the same day!! They were reasonable and wonderful to work with. I will
Only be using them. Also the furniture store I bought from were so impressed they will be using them as well!!!

Not sure if the fellas will see this, but just wanted to say that those guys that came out yesterday were great. we tried to make the move easier for them, but there were still steps and some heavy items. They were great, no complaining, and had great ideas for different ways to pack and move certain things. I didnt get all their names but they were all awesome, and Braxton was very informative, understanding, and helpful. Definitely will recommend to anyone, and we will use your guys services for any future moves. I will suggest this, for future customers, please measure out your items

I had Old Man and a Van pick up furniture from Arhaus. I happened to be at Arhaus at the time of pick up and purchased the table right before pickup. It was in perfect condition when it left the showroom. The team had trouble getting the table thru the door and set it down on the sidewalk outside the front door, which would have caused the damage. I called to report the damage and have not received a return call.

Our move was done professionally and the crew was polite and responsive to a last minute change on our part. They worked hard, and were on time.

They were punctual, thorough, attentive to detail, and made sure my concerns were addressed. They beat all other estimates I got from their competitors. Would definitely use them again!
