Downsizing Help: Less Space, Less Stress

Moving into a smaller home, condo or apartment? We help you move what fits, get the rest to family, donation or storage, and leave the old place empty.

Right-sizing, not just moving

The Hard Part Is Deciding. We’ll Do the Rest.

Downsizing means going through every room and making a call on every piece: keep, give to family, donate, store or toss. That’s your job (and it’s a big one). Ours is making each of those decisions easy to carry out.

Once you know what’s going where, we pack it, load it and deliver it: the keepers to your new home, the family pieces to the kids, the overflow to a storage unit and the donations to a drop-off. What’s left can go on the truck too, as haul-away.

  • Several stops in one move: new home, family, storage, donation.

Where everything goes

Four Piles, One Crew

Label or list where things go before moving day and we’ll take care of every pile.

Keep

Packed, padded and moved to the new place, then set up where you want it.

Give to family

Delivered to your kids or grandkids on the same trip, across town or in another state.

Store

Loaded neatly into the storage unit or container you rent, ready to come out later.

Donate or toss

Usable items dropped off for donation; the rest hauled away.

Getting ready

Downsizing Tips That Save Time on Moving Day

  • Measure the new rooms first. Then measure the furniture you love. If the sofa won’t fit the new living room, better to know now.
  • Start with the rooms you use least: basement, attic, garage, guest room. Save the kitchen and bedroom for last.
  • Ask family early what they’d like. Pieces nobody claims can go to donation.
  • Label boxes and furniture by destination: “new home – kitchen”, “Jenny”, “storage”, “donate”.
  • Sell big items early if you’re selling. Anything unsold by moving day can still be donated or hauled.

Real reviews

From Customers Who Made the Move

The time had come. Our house of 59 years had become too much to maintain… They worked around the stair lift, treating everything with care. They placed every piece where we requested. We appreciate you making a difficult transition as pain free as possible.

Bill S.Google review · Moved Mom to Oakleaf in Sylvania

These guys are the best! We had a huge move with tons of stuff that took 11 hours and they never stopped! They treated us as if they were moving their own parents into a new house, making sure we were happy with the placement of everything.

Our residents use them; they tend to be on time and very reliable.

The two movers showed up a few minutes early and got right to work. It was a great help to me to move my mom to a different floor in the same building. They did all the heavy lifting and put things in their proper place.

Downsizing questions

Downsizing FAQ

Will you help me decide what to keep?

Those decisions are yours, but we’ll gladly talk through what will physically fit in the new space during the estimate, and make sure the plan covers every pile: keep, family, storage, donation and haul-away.

Can you take things to a storage unit and the new house on the same day?

Yes. Multi-stop moves are common. We’ll load in an order that makes the stops efficient.

Do you haul away furniture nobody wants?

Yes. We can drop usable items off for donation and haul away the rest. Let us know what’s going so we bring enough room on the truck.
