Avondale Movers

We quote every Avondale move after we know the building, not before. The things that move the number here are stairs in subdivided houses with no elevator, long carries when the closest legal curb space is half a block off, crew size, and the time of month. Mid-August lease turnover around the UC calendar is the tightest window of the year. Ask for a free estimate and we will price your actual address.

Yes, but it takes paperwork. Temporary curb restrictions in Cincinnati are requested at the police district covering your address, and the district will not accept the form without either a DOTE Right-of-Way permit or an issued CPD event permit attached. Signs cannot go in bus stops or taxi stands, and anything in a 6-9am or 3-6pm rush-hour zone has to work around those hours. We will tell you what your street needs.

That is the most common Avondale job we run. Many of the large houses here were carved into apartments after World War II, so we plan for narrow shared staircases, tight landings, and doorways sized for 1920s furniture. We measure the turns before anything leaves the room, protect the common stairs other tenants still need, and bring hoisting straps and disassembly tools rather than forcing a sofa through a corner.

August, without much competition for the title. Summer housing residents transition by noon on August 7, the earliest approved early arrival is August 15, first-year check-ins run August 18-20 with assigned timeslots, and classes start August 24. Curb space along Burnet and the side streets is fought over that whole stretch. Booking before the calendar tightens is the single best thing you can do for an Avondale August move.

Yes. A large share of the moves we run in the medical district are scheduled around a shift change rather than a normal weekday window, and we build the crew size to fit the hours you actually have. Tell us your start and end times when you request the estimate. Rush-hour curb restrictions on some streets also limit when signs can be posted, so early planning helps.

Considerably. Residences at Avondale Town Center at 3635 Reading Road and the approved Burnet Square building at 3425 Burnet Ave have structured parking, which means loading out of a garage instead of a contested curb. Burnet Square’s vehicle entrances are capped at 24 feet wide and sit on the Northern and Erkenbrecher frontages rather than Burnet, so we confirm clearance height and the approach before the truck is assigned.

It is workable if you plan around the traffic. The PNC Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo pulls heavy visitor traffic through the neighborhood on winter evenings, which eats the same curb space you need for a truck. We schedule those moves earlier in the day. Crews also lay floor runners in shared entryways, since salt and slush tracked up a common staircase is a deposit issue for you.

The Ohio River valley sits in the high 80s and humid through move-in season, with afternoon thunderstorms that arrive fast. Walk-ups with no elevator make that harder, so we schedule heavier loads early and rotate crews on stair work. Boxes get wrapped when rain threatens, and anything heat-sensitive, candles, electronics, vinyl, goes on the truck last and comes off first.
