Jacob and Ivan with MoveMaker NorthWest arrived on time and were extremely efficient in fitting my tons of stuff into my 16' POD. They were fully prepared in terms of equipment and questions for me, and listened intently as I showed them the lay of the land before they got started. They were fully respectful of my property and goods, and Matt the owner tracked the whole process remotely and checked in with me to make sure all went well. I would definitely recommend MoveMaker NorthWest to anyone who needs moving and loading services in the region.

We had a great experience. Their movers were professional, kind and hard working. They were very careful with all our things… more so than I would have been. The owners are great and were personally involved to make sure our move was successful. They are committed to getting the job done and taking away some of the stress that moving brings.

Matt Sobel at Movemakers is extremely helpful, he provides the best customer service from a moving company. I would work with Movemakers and Matt again, and recommend them to anyone looking for a moving service in the area.

I would recommend this company anytime. Two men showed up on time to help us load a U-Haul. They were very professional and packed out U-Haul carefully and professionally. Highly Recommended.

MoveMakers NW were incredible helpful with our move. They arrived at the beginning of our timeframe, worked efficiently and quickly. I was impressed with the communication, they called before to discuss what we needed, they talked to us throughout the move, and they communicated really well with each other, which all lead to a great experience. They were flexible with our needs and triple checked that they got everything. I’d definitely use them again, we had zero complaints!

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!
