01 Overview

Attic, Basement, and Every Room in Between

A full house move in Greater Cincinnati is rarely just the rooms you live in. There’s the floored attic, the workshop and the chest freezer down in the full basement, the dining set that has to come apart to clear a 1920s brick doorway in Oakley. Spartan Moving and Storage moves the entire home as one job with one crew, and we plan for the parts other movers forget.

From an Over-the-Rhine walk-up to a Mason colonial, our Tristate crew writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no extra lines once the truck is loaded.

We Walk It Before We Quote It

Every residential job starts with a real look at the house, the basement and attic included, plus the stairs, the hillside grade, and where a truck can legally sit. That walkthrough is how we hand you an honest flat rate instead of an hourly clock that runs faster every time the crew hits a tight staircase. We’re a licensed Ohio (PUCO) mover with USDOT and MC authority, our own trucks, our own uniformed people.

The Cincinnati House, Handled

Whether it’s a steep walk-up on Mt. Adams, a retaining-wall lot in Price Hill, a tree-lined 1920s brick in Hyde Park, or a brick colonial with a 2,000-square-foot basement in West Chester, we adjust the plan to the home. We disassemble and rebuild beds and sectionals, disconnect basement appliances, and pad the banisters and floors against winter salt and slush.

  • One crew for the whole house, attic and full basement included, same movers both ends
  • Flat-rate pricing set after a walkthrough; hourly is $172 for two movers, $232 for three if you’d rather
  • A $90 hold secures your date and is deducted when we settle up
  • $0.60 per pound released coverage standard, full-value protection available up to $1,000,000 per shipment

From the City to the Suburbs and Across the River

We move families inside Cincinnati, north along I-71 and I-75 to Mason, West Chester, and Blue Ash, east to Anderson Township, and south over the bridges to Covington and Florence. Big house, small house, hillside or subdivision, it’s one accountable Spartan crew handling all of it.

Let’s Put a Real Number on It

What’s included

  • Whole-house move handled by one Spartan crew, from the attic down through the full basement
  • Pre-move walkthrough of stairs, hillside grades, and street access at both homes
  • Beds, sectionals, dining sets, and bulky basement gear taken apart, then rebuilt at the new place
  • Heavy floor and banister protection laid for snow, salt, and slush in Ohio winters
  • Appliances disconnected and moved, including basement washers, dryers, and freezers
  • Flat-rate price, with the $90 you put down rolled into your final bill and no hourly surprises

How we land on the price

We open with a short walkthrough or video survey, then set one flat Greater Cincinnati rate off your actual inventory — no hourly meter buried anywhere inside it. Whatever that quote reads is the whole price, with nothing tacked on once the truck is loaded or a winter storm pushes the date.

02 How we protect your move

Your things get handled the way we would handle our own

Each truck rolls out stocked with pads, shrink film, and heavy floor runners — ready to blanket furniture, keep hardwood and stair treads clean through snow and salted-street slush, and cushion the fragile pieces, whether it is a narrow Over-the-Rhine row house with original stairs, a full basement to clear in West Chester, or a hillside place on Mt. Adams where the only parking is the street.

Quilted pads

Dressers, dining tables, and headboards are blanketed right where they stand, padded up well before anything starts down the stairs.

Stretch film

Drawers stay shut and cushions stay clean — wrapped tight so road salt, slush, and a wet walk to the truck never touch the fabric.

Floor & stair guards

Runners down, banisters wrapped, jambs padded — the first thing we do at both homes, so steep original staircases and corners come through untouched.

Built-to-fit crating

In the room, before anything fragile leaves it, we measure a mirror, glass top, framed piece, or flat screen edge to edge and build the crate snug around it.

Break-down & rebuild

Bed frames, tables, and sectionals come apart to ride safe down tight stairwells, and our crew reassembles every one once it is through the new door.

Straps, dollies & gear

A fourth-floor walk-up downtown, a long haul up from a full basement, or the heaviest single piece in the house — each gets the right tie-downs, stair-climbers, and rigging off our truck.

03 Why us

The name painted on the truck is the name signed at the bottom of your estimate

Hire Spartan Moving and Storage and the truck at the curb is ours, the estimate is ours, and the uniformed crew easing your couch down a narrow OTR staircase is on our own Greater Cincinnati payroll — your move is never sold off to someone else. A broker runs it backward: they shop your job to whoever bids cheapest that week, pocket the spread, and wash their hands of it.

Spartan Moving and Storage
  • Our trucks, our fleet, and the full-time background-checked movers in them are on our own payroll — we never round out a crew with labor pulled off a listing
  • The number we put in writing is the number you pay — set, signed, and correct to the dollar before a single box leaves the room
  • One crew the whole way through, from the first piece down the old stairs to the last one carried into the new place
  • Full insurance backs every job, with cargo coverage up to $1,000,000; on top of that we carry the Ohio (PUCO) household-goods license and USDOT/MC authority that interstate runs require
  • One point of contact at our Cincinnati office, alongside you from the first call to the last box set down inside
What a broker does
  • Hands your move to whatever crew underbids the rest in the week you happened to call
  • Lets the total creep up once the truck arrives, padded with charges nobody mentioned the day you booked
  • Walks strangers you have never spoken to through your front door, handing your whole household to a crew nobody can vouch for
  • Leaves you guessing whose policy pays the day a dresser corner gouges a wall on the way down the stairs
  • Drops a call center between you and whoever finally turns up to load, so one plain question becomes a runaround

Questions we hear about this service

Our Mason house has a fully finished basement and a packed attic. Is that extra?
It's not a surprise add-on, but it does factor into the quote, which is exactly why we walk the house first. Full basements and floored attics are the norm up in Mason and West Chester, and they hold a lot of weight. We count the basement and attic in the inventory so the flat number you get covers the whole house, top to bottom.
We're on a steep street on Mt. Adams. Can the truck even get there?
We do the hillside neighborhoods all the time, Mt. Adams, Clifton, Price Hill. Tyrone and the crew scout the grade and the retaining walls ahead of time, position the truck where it can sit safely, and plan the carry up or down the slope. Steep streets are part of moving in the Queen City and we're built for them.
Can you move us in winter without tracking snow and salt through the house?
Yes, and we plan for it. Cincinnati winters mean salted streets and slushy porches, so the crew lays heavy floor runners on the path, pads the door jambs and banisters, and changes the protection as it gets wet. Your hardwood and carpet stay covered the whole day.
