One phone call is usually all it takes
Priya needs both addresses, roughly when you want to move, and anything unusual about access, a German Village alley, a staircase, an OSU Saturday landing that same weekend. Give her that much and she’ll typically read back a number before you hang up.
No placeholder numbers here
Whatever Priya tells you on the phone is what lands on the invoice. Winter staging, a narrow-street shuttle, an HOA form, a long haul to Indianapolis, she works it into the total before the call ends.
Rough numbers to plan around
Use this as a starting point, your actual quote depends on the specifics of your job.

Information that gets you a faster answer
The more Priya has upfront, the quicker your number is locked.
- Both addresses, plus anything about narrow streets or alley access
- Your target date, and whether an OSU home game falls anywhere nearby
- A rough sense of what’s moving, especially anything bulky or awkward
- Any German Village or South Side access quirks worth flagging
- Whether you might want packing assistance or temporary storage while the new place’s timeline firms up
Callers who cover that ground usually get a locked number the same day, one that won’t shift even if moving day gets complicated. Local Columbus jobs never pick up an extra charge for miles or gas afterward, the invoice mirrors the phone call exactly.
