Great service and communication. They went above and beyond to make our things work in the moving container. With 2 people over 3 hours, they got an 1800sf home in a 16’ container.

Only one bad incident. When they were moving my dinning room hutch they accidentally knocked my plasma tv over. I had it leaning up against the China hutch and moved it to the left so they could move the hutch. I feel I'm part to blame because I didn't put it in a safer position. That being said they could have been more careful. I'm hoping it works when I hook it back up.
Now the good part. I was in a horrible mood when they showed up because I'm dealing with all the stuff a person deals with when moving. I was a bit short with them and they put up with my negative attitude for a few minutes. They worked fast and hard and were very careful with the rest of the move. A couple of real nice guys and I definitely recommend them.

Jacob and Hunter were great! They took a lot of care packing the truck to protect some fragile appliances I had that were a tight squeeze, and were very professional throughout the job.

On time very hard workers. They are still here so far so good . I had them stay an extra hour to finish up.. such great guys. I hope I can hire them when I unpack in a few months.

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!
