About Tobin Brothers Moving and Storage — Our Dayton Family

Back in 2011, Old North Dayton brothers Sean and Kevin Tobin put the family name on one truck; from a single rule — a flat price in writing — they built Tobin Brothers Moving and Storage into a full Miami Valley crew.

Same-day figure on paper

Point us through the place room by room, flag the stairs and tell us where a truck can sit — a firm number comes back that same day, in writing.

One flat rate, nothing bolted on

Pads, shrink wrap and tape already sit inside that figure, so nothing gets re-tallied after the ramp comes down.

Packing, some of it or all

Kitchens get dish barrels, closets get wardrobe cartons, and anything glass or stone rides in a crate we build to fit.

One lead from first box to last

Whoever sizes up your home is the lead on the truck and the one who runs the closing walk-through — no hand-off midway.

I’m Sean Tobin. My brother Kevin and I grew up in Old North Dayton, loading trucks for a local outfit before we ever owned one. We started Tobin Brothers Moving and Storage in 2011 on one plain rule: pad and strap every box like it’s our own mother’s, and put the flat price in writing first.

Meet the owner

Sean Tobin — Owner of Tobin Brothers Moving and Storage

I’m Sean. Tobin Brothers is just what it says — me and my brother Kevin. We grew up in Old North Dayton, put our own truck on the road in 2011, and ran it on one rule from day one: hand people a real written number before move day instead of letting an hourly clock climb on them. One truck became a yard full, but that rule never budged. You sign the price before a single item is loaded; the movers in your doorway are all our own uniformed, W-2 people, never subcontractors; and a call rings through to a Tobin or the front office, not some out-of-state call center. Years around the Miami Valley taught this crew what actually makes or breaks a Dayton move: Oregon District walk-ups and downtown lofts, split-levels and ranches out in Kettering and Centerville, a certificate of insurance and a booked elevator for the condo towers, and icy driveways we salt before a wheel turns. We hold every single job to that standard.

How Our Crew Runs a Move

  1. 1

    Free quote — ten minutes, tops

    We handle: Tell us how many rooms, whether it’s stairs or an elevator, and the nearest legal spot for the truck; a flat written price follows.

    What helps most: Keep any building COI rules and elevator windows nearby — that’s what turns the number from a guess into an exact figure.

  2. 2

    We nail down the date and access

    We handle: Any freight elevator gets reserved and we clear curb space with the city, so the truck parks at your door instead of down the street.

    What helps most: Line up the two dates — when you’re out of the old place and into the new one — and pass us the tighter of the two.

  3. 3

    Wrap & protect

    We handle: Every piece of furniture goes under a moving blanket, upholstery gets shrink-wrapped, and bed frames and table legs come apart into bags tagged with their own hardware.

    What helps most: Mark each box with the room it’s headed to, and carry papers, keys and anything small and valuable yourself rather than loading them.

  4. 4

    Load, haul, set down & review

    We handle: Whoever loads the truck is who unloads it — pieces land where you point, beds go back together, and we haul off the packing debris.

    What helps most: Walk the place with the crew lead before the truck rolls off, while anything still left to fix costs you nothing.
