Greater Cleveland, Ohio
We help Cleveland-area seniors and their families manage every step of the transition — from the first sort through to the last box unpacked — with honesty, patience, and a personal touch.
Transitioning a home isn't just a logistical task — it's one of life's most emotional moments. We move at your pace, and we don't disappear after move-in.

What we do
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.
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 MoreProfessional, 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 MoreWe 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.
Learn MoreWe 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.
Learn MoreHow it works
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.
We come to you, listen to the situation, and walk you through exactly what we'd do — no pressure, no obligation.
You receive a clear, written plan covering timeline, services, and pricing — so there are never any surprises.
From the first sort through to the last box, we manage every detail. You stay informed without being overwhelmed.
We're not done until your loved one is truly comfortable — beds made, pictures up, kettle on.
Who we serve
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.
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.
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.
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.
