Ivan did a great job but unfortunately it seemed like it was the other person's first day moving large furniture. This slowed down the process significantly as well as resulted in some extra damage on dropped furniture as well as scratches/scuffs/marks on walls. It was a bit disappointing but everything was moved without any major damage.
They communicated well with us and were prepared with some tools to move the furniture. I would use them again if everyone involved was properly experienced and trained.

They were on time and texted their ETA which I appreciated. They asked relevant questions (biggest item & fragile item), handled my items with care, and strategically positioned boxes and furnitures in my assigned UPack relocube (putting my packed desktop PC and monitors under a desk frame with extra leftover packing material to fill gaps and as padding for protection).
I’d use them again if I’d ever go back to Oregon.

Super knowledgeable and fast workers! I highly recommend to request Ivan if you can. He is so efficient, listens well, and communicates effectively. He also managed the team well that he was working with. One of the workers was very new and didn’t seem to fully understand the job, but Ivan really made it work.
I would definitely use MoveMaker Northwest again!

MoveMakers Northwest did a superb job handling the move of our items into a POD. They arrived on time and got right to work. Everything went smoothly!

Our movers were on time and patient when we had issues with the pod's drop-off location and logistics. They helped to troubleshoot the issues to make unloading the pod and moving the items into the building as smooth as possible. The job was done quickly. Would definitely use them again!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

Once a booking has been made you can expect a confirmation email and text, if we receive a response no later than the day PRECEEDING the date of the booking, we will follow up with questions about the specifics of the job, start address, end address, full or partial move-out, items of note, total travel distance...etc. After this, we will contact you 24-48 hours before your job is scheduled to confirm there are no last-minute changes, and we will see you for your service!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

You will receive a text stating we are on our way to your starting location, and additional communication should any complications arise, including the nature of the issue, and how we plan to resolve it.

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Remember that the more efficient your preparation, the faster our team will be able to complete your move! With that in mind, consolidate the items you'll want loaded onto your rental truck into as few rooms as possible, as close to the exit you think will be best to take them out from. If you are packing yourself, fuller, smaller boxes are typically a better idea than larger, emptier ones. The tighter the pack, the safer the pack! If you have children/pets sequester them outside the work area.

What types of moves have you handled?

Our founder has long experience with moving & storage, in every capacity from mover, to team lead, to driver, to supervisor before forming MoveMaker NorthWest and has handled mansion moves, and studio apartments with aplomb, professionalism, and a smile! Our team has been hand-picked and trained by himself, and his senior staff to carry on this story of excellence.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Moving is often one of the most stressful periods of someone's life, personal circumstances aside, the minutia of the process and the sheer volume of ALL the objects that make up our homes, the prospect of handling it alone can be a nightmare. I love feeling like I've come to the rescue for someone, and really made it a manageable, even enjoyable experience!

What training do you provide your crew members?

All crew members receive training from our senior staff and owners before their first move, from there they receive on-the-job training on the specifics of safe load/unload procedures, maneuvering around entry/exit ways, and how to move and work most efficiently on-site!
