About Mentor, Lake County
Population approximately 47,000; median home value about $270,000; median household income about $99,144.
Mentor is the largest city in Lake County and one of Northeast Ohio's most established suburban communities, sitting 28 miles east of our Parma headquarters via I-480 and I-90 (Source: 2024 ACS, Census Reporter). With a median household income of $88,949, 76.8% single-family detached housing, and a median construction year of 1975, Mentor combines mid-century suburban housing with a substantial lakefront character — including waterfront properties along Lakeshore Boulevard and homes near Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve. With 22.7% of residents 65 or older and a median age of 46.5, Mentor generates steady volumes of estate cleanouts, downsizing moves, and basement clear-outs from established families. Most residential neighborhoods date from the 1950s through the 1970s, anchored by the Mentor Avenue (Route 20) corridor and the Headlands area to the north along the Grand River.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mentor Movers
Do you handle moves within Mentor, or only longer-distance moves?
Both. We handle moves within Mentor (e.g., from one home to another in the same neighborhood), relocations to or from Mentor from elsewhere in Northeast Ohio, and longer-distance moves. Pricing depends on item volume and total distance, and we always provide an in-person walkthrough before quoting a final price.
What's the typical cost for a Mentor 3-bedroom move?
Most Mentor 3-bedroom moves with full basements take 4-6 hours with a 3-mover crew, running $1,080-$1,620 plus travel fee. The travel fee for Mentor reflects the longer drive from our Parma base. Smaller moves (2-bedroom, no basement) typically run $760-$1,140 with 2 movers.
Can you coordinate moving plus junk removal in one Mentor project?
Yes — this is especially common for Mentor downsizing moves. With 22.7% of residents 65+ and many longtime homeowners moving to single-floor condos or assisted living within Lake County, we handle the full process: keep, donate, dispose, and move. Donations route to the Lake/Geauga Habitat ReStore.
Do you handle moves between Mentor and other Cleveland-area cities?
Yes — Mentor-to-Cleveland-suburb moves are common as families relocate west toward more central Cleveland metro destinations, or vice versa. Our 50-mile moving radius covers the full Lake County / Cuyahoga County / Geauga County region from our Parma base.
Can you do same-city Mentor moves?
Absolutely. Mentor's 26.8 square miles include diverse housing — from lakefront properties along Lakeshore Boulevard to subdivisions near Great Lakes Mall to homes near Mentor Marsh. Same-city Mentor moves often complete in 4-6 hours including loading, transit, and unloading.
Can you handle lakefront property moves including boats and marine equipment?
For standard household contents, yes. For boats, jet skis, and large marine equipment, we coordinate with specialty marine movers — these typically require dedicated trailers and marine-specific handling we don't provide directly. We handle the household contents portion while you arrange specialty marine transport.
Are you insured for Mentor home moves?
Yes — fully licensed and insured. We carry full liability insurance and provide certificates of insurance to property managers, HOAs, and homeowners as required. Documentation available on request prior to move day, especially for moves involving high-value lakefront properties.
