Our Local Moving and Storage Services

Dearman Moving & Storage is a reliable local moving company in Ohio. We consider a local move one that can usually be done with one-day pickup and delivery, which is any move in Ohio. As long as your pick up location falls within our service areas, we’ll be more than happy to assist with any local or long-distance move.

Our experienced staff, proven systems for management and communication with customers make your move less stressful and give you a pleasant, easy experience. We serve customers for residential and commercial moving services throughout Ohio, including Columbus, Cleveland and the surrounding areas.

Home Moving

We specialize in tackling the unique challenges of home moves, ensuring a smooth transition, even in complex situations. Our experienced team is skilled in handling heavy furniture, navigating multi-level layouts and securely packing larger household goods. We also understand the importance of careful handling, especially when moving out of homes with delicate finishes and custom interiors, preventing any potential property damage. Through our efficient approach, Dearman’s professionals complete moves in a single day, minimizing disruption to your schedule and ensuring peace of mind throughout the process.

Apartment & Condo Moving

Our local moving company excels in apartment and condo moves, expertly managing the unique challenges these types of relocations present. Tight hallways, limited parking and the need for elevator reservations or building access permissions require careful planning – our professional movers take every precaution to protect both your belongings and the shared building areas, such as hallways and elevators, reducing the risk of damage that could result in costly fees. By employing organized, efficient moving strategies, we navigate space limitations with ease and ensure compliance with apartment building regulations, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Equipment & Truck Rentals

We are a certified Penske dealer that can provide moving trucks, vehicle trailers, and any equipment rentals you need for your move.

Furniture Moving

Moving small furniture pieces without specialized equipment and tools is relatively easy. Moving big, bulky furniture, on the other hand, is so much more challenging thanks to tight hallways, stairs, and door frames. We take care of even the heaviest pieces of furniture. We even move safes or specialty items like pool tables, treadmills, and more.

Packing Services

Trained Dearman Moving associates can help with all your packing needs, so you can pack as little or as much as you want. In addition, we can supply any moving boxes, tape and more if needed. You can ensure that your items are being transported safely to your new destination.

Loading and Unloading

We provide qualified moving help to get what you need to where you need it. Our experienced local movers can load or unload any boxes you’ve packed or items you need to bring including furniture, appliances, and more.

Customized Local Moving Services

We Are Flexible!

We've got your back whether you need simple help packing for your DIY move, or a full-service move that leverages our staff, trucks, move directors, and MobiSTOR storage pods.

SNAP Moves!

Our storage crates provide complete convenience so you can take your time sorting through and packing your items. Just let us know when you need it dropped off and when you want it picked up!

How Much Does a Local Move Cost?

The answer is – “it depends.” At Dearman, we don’t have a standard moving cost but we weigh various factors that change for each job:

  1. Distance - How far away you are moving? Mileage helps us determine how much time and gas we’ll spend on our trip moving you from one place to the next.
  2. Level of service - Are we cleaning up the old home after the move? Are we packing your home or are you? What types of items are we moving and are they fragile - needing an extra layer of protection or special boxes to transport safely?
  3. Volume - How many boxes you need to transport affects the vehicle type and the number of packers you will need, both of which affect the price of moving. Obviously, the more boxes you have, the bigger truck and more people we’d need, increasing the cost of the move.
  4. Where are you moving to and from? Are you moving from an apartment on the 2nd floor into a house or vice versa? Is there an elevator or wide stairwell we can use? Depending on the situation, this may make the move more difficult.
  5. Timing - Are you moving one place to the next, or do you need short-term storage between moving dates? We’d prefer to move everything at once but we know the timing isn’t always convenient. We’re flexible and can help you move according to your needs.

Why Hire Professionals For a Local Move?

The short answer is the time, energy, and effort it takes to move. On top of maintaining your regular life - work, school, feeding your family, sports, and all your other weekly tasks - you now have to go through the process of getting a moving truck, packing everything up, and trying to manage your life partially in boxes while you transition from one house to the next. Don’t forget cleaning up your old home or apartment after you move (to get your security deposit back), unpacking, organizing your new home, and making sure your utilities are transferred so you have water, electric and more.

To say the least, moving can be an extremely stressful time, which is why we’re here to help. Tim Cambell, CVO of Dearman Moving & Storage Explains Why Thousands of Families Have Been Using Their Moving Company Since 1963!
