Matt and Pedro were amazing! They were friendly and professional, and they moved quickly and with great care for our belongings. I would highly recommend them to others!

Jacob and Samual were the best. They called ahead to let us know they were on their way and showed up exactly on time. They were professional and courteous. They came with the right equipment since we had 2 flights of stairs to deal with. They took great care with all our belongings. They even got all our stuff to fit in the Pod safely and securely. We didn't think it would all fit. We needed extra time and they stayed till the job was done. Excellent. Highly recommend

One worker was early, while the second worker was 20 minutes late, so the time equaled out and we were not charged any additional time beyond the contracted time. Both workers were very respectful of our possessions, and the moving truck was packed efficiently and carefully. They worked hard during the entire time of the loading of the truck.

Amazing gentlemen, very efficient and hard working! Took care of my items while moving them and loading into the pods. Appreciative of their knowledge with questions I had and calming my anxiety through this move. Would highly recommend and would request to 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!
