What we do

Every service you need, tailored to your situation.

No two families are the same — so we don't sell one-size-fits-all packages. Here are the four most common ways we help. There are more.

See all 8 services

Downsizing & Sorting

We help you make thoughtful decisions about what to keep, donate, sell, or discard — at your pace, with zero pressure. Then we handle every load-out so you don't have to.

Learn More

Packing & Unpacking

Professional, careful packing of an entire home or just specific rooms — and full unpacking and setup at the new location so it feels like home from the moment you walk in.

Learn More

Senior Move Coordination

We personally handle the move — sorting, packing, loading, transport, unloading, and setup. No third-party crew. The same hands that boxed it up unbox it at the new home.

Donation & Disposal

We coordinate donations to local Cleveland charities, arrange responsible junk removal, and make sure as little as possible ends up in a landfill. Nothing is left for the family afterward.

How it works

Simple from the very first call.

Four steps, no surprises. Most families are settled in within four to six weeks of that first consultation — but we'll move at whatever pace feels right.

01

Free In-Home Visit

We come to you, listen to the situation, and walk you through exactly what we'd do — no pressure, no obligation.

02

Custom Written Plan

You receive a clear, written plan covering timeline, services, and pricing — so there are never any surprises.

03

We Handle Everything

From the first sort through to the last box, we manage every detail. You stay informed without being overwhelmed.

04

Settled & Supported

We're not done until your loved one is truly comfortable — beds made, pictures up, kettle on.

Who we serve

Built for seniors and the families helping them.

For Seniors

A transition handled with respect.

You've earned a move that's done with patience and dignity — not pressure to go faster than you're comfortable with. We protect what matters most and make sure your next home feels like home from day one.

For Adult Children

Boots on the ground in Cleveland.

Managing a parent's move from across town — or across the country — is overwhelming. We become your local hands and eyes, with clear, proactive updates by phone, text, or email at every step.

Family-Home Downsizing

From a full house to a smaller space.

Decades of belongings, no clear place to start. We guide you through sorting, donating, selling, and letting go — without the stress, and without pressure to part with anything you're not ready to.

Senior-Living Moves

Independent, assisted, or memory care.

Moves into a care community require precision. We coordinate directly with the community's move-in team so the right items arrive in the right rooms at the right time, with minimal disruption.

Meet the founder

You're not hiring a faceless company. You're working directly with me — from the first phone call to the last box unpacked.

I started Summit because I saw too many families handed off between call centers, rotating crews, and third-party movers during one of the hardest transitions of their lives. That's not how this should feel.

The same hands that box it up unbox it at the new home. I'm there for the planning, the sorting, the heavy days, and the quiet ones — and I don't disappear after move-in. We move at your pace, and we treat your parents' home the way we'd want someone to treat our own.
