Jacob and Sam did a great job. They were on time and prepared with the right equipment for our furniture. They worked efficiently and were very careful with our property and goods. Thank you.

Gretchen B
As it turns out the movers in Portland, Oregon did not load my belongings properly. Every single piece of furniture arrived damaged to my location. I would recommend avoiding these movers.
We are incredibly sad to hear that your items suffered damage while in transit. While our crews follow best practices for moving and loading items, shifts during transit can happen, and a large amount of jostling and movement can result in damages. PODs are subject to a very high amount of movement from their mechanical lifts onto and off the POD trucks, as well as in transit on the back of said trucks, all of which occurs outside of our locus of control. We did all we could to ensure the safest transit of your items possible, which is why our team asked that you go and get moving pads at the beginning of the job (HireAHelper terms dictate the client needs to provide these if necessary) when they ran into it, you were advised that is not recommended to use personal blankets in lieu of professional pads as the protection can be insufficient. There were none left over while our crew was onsite or they would have been utilized as well. Your items were loaded as safely and scurely as possible in the given circumstances, and while we empathize with the damages you suffered during the transport of your belongings by a third party, we cannot accept responsibility for it either. We provided the same stellar service and professionalism as we do with all of clients, which is reflected in the fact that your damage claim to our partner HireAHelper was denied for the very same reason. Movemaker wishes you all the best, and hope that our full-service interstate operations are in full-swing by the next time you need to move so that we can personally guarantee your move, every step of the way!

These guys rock! Careful, considerate, and skilled movers who got our belongings in our new home in no time. Friendly and easy to work with. I'd easily choose 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!
