New Lexington Movers
New Lexington, Ohio Moving Company
At Moving Ahead Services, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive range of moving solutions tailored to the unique needs of New Lexington residents and businesses. Whether you're relocating within this historic Perry County seat or venturing far beyond, we've got the expertise and resources to make your move smooth and stress-free.
Licensed, Insured, Fully Vetted
Every crew that walks into a Windsor Heights hallway or a 1957-era stairwell is licensed, insured, and trained on furniture protection. Ask for the paperwork and you get it before we touch a box.
Pricing You Can Check Line by Line
Your written estimate spells out crew size, stair carries, and alley staging before move day. Nothing gets added later because the truck had to park down the block from your door.
Why Moving Ahead Services?
We're more than just movers – we're your partners in relocation. Our team is trained to handle the unique challenges that come with each type of move, always with a focus on customer satisfaction.
From the historic homes near the county courthouse to the residential areas throughout town, we're committed to providing top-notch moving services across all of New Lexington and beyond. Let us take the stress out of your move, so you can focus on starting your new chapter – whether it's across town or across the country.
- Apartment-first crews — with just over half the village renting, we work Windsor Heights, Shawnee Square, Reading Commons, Woodbridge, and Alexander Yard on a regular basis.
- Main Street staging — Main doubles as SR 13 and SR 93 past the courthouse square, so we plan curb time or work the rear alleys instead.
- 1957-era stairwells — postwar landings and narrow turns mean smaller loads per trip, hoisting straps, and door jamb protection rather than brute force.
- Sloped approaches — hilly lots at around 929 feet call for ramp planning, wheel chocks, and long-carry setups where a truck cannot back in close.
- Senior-move experience — we handle elevator one-bedrooms at the LEADS mid-rise on N. Jackson and moves into Fairview, Arethusa Springs, and Perry County Home.
Moving in New Lexington: What to Expect
New Lexington's small-town charm and rural surroundings create unique moving scenarios. Our team is prepared for everything from summer heat to winter snow, ensuring your move goes smoothly year-round. Navigating New Lexington's historic streets and rural routes requires local knowledge – and that's exactly what our New Lexington-experienced team brings to the table.
Schedule Your New Lexington Move
Tell us the building, the floor, and whether the load comes out the front on Main or through the alley behind it. That is usually all we need to size the crew and figure out how curb space, stairs, or an elevator reservation will shape the day. Detour work around the SR 13 bridge and the W. Brown Street closure factors in too. Request a free estimate and we will put real numbers to your New Lexington move.

We Handle All Your Moving Needs.
Two Decades of Moves in the Perry County Seat
We have been moving families since 2005, and village work rewards experience more than volume. A crew that has carried a queen box spring up a 1950s stairwell knows to measure the landing first. We track village notices, so a no-parking request on North and South Main during snow removal, or a closed stretch beside the courthouse, gets built into the plan instead of discovered at eight in the morning. When flash flooding leaves roads impassable, we reschedule rather than gamble with your furniture.
Stress-Free Experience
You get a load plan before move day: which door we use, where the truck sits when Main Street curb space is taken, and who unlocks the shared corridor. Fewer decisions on the sidewalk makes for a shorter, calmer day.
100% Transparency
The estimate names the cost drivers in plain terms: crew size, a walk-up with a turn at the landing, a long carry in from the alley, an elevator that has to be reserved. Ask what a variable does to the total and we tell you.
Damage Protection Options
Doorways in 1950s village housing run narrow and stair rails sit close to the wall. We pad banisters, mask corners, floor-run shared hallways, and blanket-wrap case goods before they leave the room. Valuation options are explained in writing before you sign.
- Why Choose Us
Your peace of mind is our priority.
The same crew loads and unloads. They are background-checked, trained on furniture handling, and used to working in buildings where your neighbors share the corridor and the alley behind the Main Street blocks. They introduce themselves, walk the route with you, and flag anything tight before lifting.
We know which New Lexington blocks climb hard enough to change how a truck gets loaded and which alleys a 26-footer can actually clear. The same operation handles cross-country deliveries, so a move out of a Shawnee Square one-bedroom to another state stays one company, one inventory, one contract.
Packing, disassembly, protection, transport, storage, and setup all come from us. If courthouse-area closures shift or a building manager changes your elevator window, one coordinator adjusts the schedule and briefs the crew. You call one number and get a real answer about your shipment.
Projects Completed
- Community Promise
Making a difference in our communities.
- We hand you a food-donation box with your packing supplies and pick it up on move day, so unopened pantry goods reach a food bank instead of a dumpster.
- Our Move For Hunger participation covers small in-village moves too, including apartment-to-apartment relocations where the whole job takes less than a single working day.
- We back United Way campaigns and Susan G. Komen fundraising, the kind of giving that reaches households in small county-seat towns like this one, not only big metro areas.
- Downsizing into a one-bedroom senior apartment usually leaves furniture nobody has room for, and we help you sort donation-ready pieces before load day rather than after.

Moving in New Lexington: Common Questions
How much does a move in New Lexington cost?
Cost comes down to crew size and how long the carry takes, and in New Lexington the carry is usually the variable. Stair flights in 1950s-era apartment buildings, elevator time at a mid-rise like the LEADS building on North Jackson, sloped approaches on the hillier lots, and staging from a Main Street curb or a rear alley instead of a driveway all add labor hours. End of month books up first. Ask for a free estimate and we will price the actual building.
Can you move me into an apartment at Windsor Heights or Shawnee Square?
Yes. Apartment work is the bulk of what we do in the village, since just over half of New Lexington households rent and a large share of the housing sits in twenty-unit-plus buildings. Windsor Heights, Shawnee Square, New Lexington Village, Woodbridge, Reading Commons, and Alexander Yard each have their own parking layout and stairwell width. Tell us the building and unit floor when you call and we will size the crew accordingly.
Where does the truck park for a move on Main Street?
Main Street through the courthouse square is also SR 13 and SR 93, so curb space is limited and shared with county-seat traffic all day. For addresses in the older Main Street blocks we usually work from the service alley behind the building rather than the front curb. If a load-in genuinely needs street space or a closure, the Village office at 215 South Main Street, (740) 342-1633, handles right-of-way questions.
Do you handle moves into assisted living or senior apartments in Perry County?
Regularly. New Lexington carries a heavy concentration of senior housing for a village this size, including Fairview Assisted Living, Arethusa Springs, Aviata Post Acute, the Perry County Home on SR 37 East, and the elevator-served one-bedroom units at 210 North Jackson Street. Those moves are usually downsizing moves: fewer boxes, more careful decisions about what fits. We can pad and place furniture in the new room and take the excess where the family directs.
My house has a steep driveway and narrow stairs. Is that a problem?
No, but it changes the plan. The village sits at around 929 feet on rolling terrain, so sloped lots and stepped front walks are common, and the median home here dates to about 1957, which means tight stairwells, small landings, and doorways that were not built for a modern sectional. We measure the turn before we lift. Sometimes a piece comes apart, sometimes it goes out a different door.
What happens if it floods or snows on my moving day?
We track it and talk to you early. Flash flooding is a real risk in Perry County; the August 2026 storms dropped five to eight inches of rain around New Lexington, left roads impassable for days, and prompted a state of emergency. Winter brings its own issue: the village asks for no parking on North and South Main Street during snow removal. If conditions make a load unsafe, we reschedule rather than force it.
Are courthouse renovations or the SR 13 bridge work going to affect my move?
They can affect the approach, not the job. Courthouse work has closed West Brown Street from Main Street to the alley, and ODOT has been replacing the SR 13 bridge east of the SR 37 intersection. Both shift how a truck reaches an address near the square. Give us your street when you book and we will confirm the current access route before the crew rolls up.
Do you pack, or do I need to have everything boxed?
Either way works. Full pack, partial pack for just the kitchen and breakables, or you box it and we load. In older New Lexington apartments and postwar homes with small closets and modest room dimensions, a partial pack is often the practical choice: we handle the awkward items and you keep the routine boxes. Say what you want covered when you request your free estimate so materials are on the truck.
