Downsizing out of a house someone has lived in for twenty or thirty years isn’t a job you can run on a standard moving-day script, and Cardinal Moving doesn’t try to. Darnell Osei walks these estimates in person more often than not, because the pace of a downsizing move — what’s going to the new place, what’s going to a family member, what’s being sorted through room by room — usually needs to be talked through before a truck ever gets scheduled.
Family is often coordinating from more than one location, and Renee Castellano handles that end of it directly: she’s the point of contact when an adult child out of state needs updates, when a move date has to shift around a closing, or when the plan changes twice before moving day actually arrives. Nothing about the schedule is locked in a way that punishes a family for needing to adjust it.
On moving day itself, the crew that Darnell assigned at the walkthrough is the crew that shows up — the same people who already know which boxes are staying together, which pieces are going where, and which ones need extra care.

What This Service Runs
Crew size sets your hourly rate — $135/hr for two movers, $175/hr for three, $215/hr for four — or if you'd rather have a firm number before move day, Darnell can walk the place first and write one up
That hourly rate covers the truck, dollies, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — nothing billed separately: $135 for two movers, $175 for three, $215 for four, and $45/hr for each mover beyond that. A $150 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the final invoice. Basic released-value protection rides along at no charge on every job, and Renee will walk you through full-value coverage when she books your date if the higher payout ceiling is worth it to you.
