A senior move isn’t measured by speed, it’s measured by getting it right. DSL Moving runs a patient downsizing crew for Norwood and Cincinnati-area retirees moving into a smaller place, with the same COI paperwork and freight-elevator booking used on every apartment job. Melissa Ferring lines up donation-run pickups before the truck backs in.

The senior move protocol

  • Slower pace, with frequent check-ins during the inventory walk
  • House-to-apartment downsizes with the COI already on file
  • Donation-run coordination with Cincinnati-area charities
  • Family-coordination calls handled directly with adult children
  • A furniture right-sizing consult before the figure is signed

Same patient pace, same signed figure – Melissa Ferring keeps family updated at every step, not just on move day.

Pricing a Cincinnati downsize

House-to-apartment downsizes run on the standard flat bands: 1-bed $299, 2-bed $649. Larger Hamilton-area estates price as a custom figure once Trent Oberholtzer walks both addresses. A $95 deposit holds the day, refundable within 72 hours. See how apartment moves work.

What’s separate

The senior figure covers the crew, truck, pads, and COI at a patient pace. Full pre-packing and piano handling bill separately, and estate-sale coordination isn’t part of the service. Home.

What’s Included

  • Patient pace, frequent check-ins on the walk
  • House-to-apartment downsizes with COI on file
  • Donation-run coordination with Cincinnati-area charities
  • Family-coordination calls handled directly
  • Furniture right-sizing consult before the figure is signed

What Does It Cost?

Pick the clock or skip it — a two-mover crew starts at $99/hr, or lock a flat band by home size from $299

Either way the truck, blankets, and dollies ride free in the number: $99 for two movers, $139 for three, $179 for four, or a flat rate by bedroom count if you would rather skip the clock. Whatever DSL Moving writes on the quote is what shows up on the invoice — nothing gets added after the truck is loaded.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Households Stick With DSL Moving

Licensing Closed Before Move Day

Fully licensed OH household-goods mover, DOT and MC authority filed for interstate work, full-value cargo protection on every move — whether it’s a hillside walk-up in Mt. Adams or a long haul north on I-71, the paperwork is closed before Curtis’s crew ever backs the truck up to the curb.

No Hidden Fees, Ever — In Writing

No fuel surcharge, no stair charge, no weekend bump, no card-processing fee sneaking onto the final total — whatever number is on the quote is the number on the receipt. The crew wraps stair rails in moving blankets and slides felt pads under anything set down mid-move, and none of that shows up as an extra line later.

Owner-Walked Estimates, One Local Intake Line

Call on a weekday and Daniel Scott Lang walks the estimate himself; call on a packed weekend and Melissa Ferring handles intake from the Camp Washington desk. Every mover who shows up at your door is W-2, background-checked, and trained inside that same yard — never leased, never temp, never sourced same-day off an app.

One Written Price, No Curbside Surprises

The figure Trent sends over from the estimate desk is the same figure on your final invoice — never an hourly clock that quietly runs into the evening, never a fuel line added at the curb, never a heavy-item charge the office forgot to mention up front.

One Call, A Signed Flat Number, Daniel’s Own Countersign

Trent checks the job against the Camp Washington schedule, writes the binding figure on letterhead, and Daniel signs off before it lands back in your inbox — usually within the hour. No hidden fees, ever, and no chase calls if you decide to book elsewhere.
