Centerville, OH Moving Company | Tobin Brothers

Centerville blends historic Uptown — those early stone houses along Main Street that give the town its character — with brick colonials and newer builds out toward Yankee Trace and I-675. A move here can be a two-hundred-year-old stone home with a narrow original staircase or a roomy four-bedroom with an easy garage. We plan the two very differently, and our Dayton crew has done plenty of both.

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.

From the old stone streets around Uptown to the subdivisions off Social Row and Clyo Road, Centerville swings from tight, historic interiors to wide-open floor plans.

Two kinds of Centerville move

  • Uptown stone and older colonials — narrow stairs, original woodwork, doorways worth guarding
  • Newer builds near Yankee Trace — big square footage, easy driveway, full basement

On the historic homes we run cardboard and runners over the floors, pad the banisters, and break heavy pieces down before forcing a turn. On the newer ones it comes down to pace and volume.

Moving to Centerville — common questions

We're in an old Uptown stone house with a steep, narrow staircase. Will our furniture make it down?
We measure it at the walkthrough instead of guessing on the morning. Most pieces come down on their side or split apart at the landing, and we pad the original woodwork before anything passes through it.
We're only moving a few miles across Centerville. Is that worth your minimum?
Short in-town hops are our bread and butter. With two movers at $118 an hour and a one-hour minimum, a small local move is quick and cheap — and we'll still put a flat figure on it if you'd rather have a fixed number.
Are you brokers or an actual moving company?
A real one. Kevin and I own the trucks and employ the crew, all uniformed and on our payroll. Family-owned out of Dayton, licensed and insured, with no lead-passing to a stranger.
Our sale and purchase don't close on the same day. Can you hold our things?
Yes — we offer short-term storage on our own dock between closings, wrapped and inventoried, then delivered when your new Centerville place is ready for it.
The move, start to finish

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.
