Multnomah County is home ground for A Affordable Movers in every sense — it’s Oregon’s most populous county, and it’s where our yard, our trucks, and our crews are based. The county runs from Portland’s tight, close-in neighborhoods near the Willamette out through Gresham’s newer streets to Troutdale, where the city starts giving way to the Columbia River Gorge. A move inside the city core looks nothing like one out toward Troutdale, and we treat them as different jobs from the first phone call.
Russell Voss started A Affordable Movers here in 2013, and the county is still where most of our calendar fills up. He still walks properties and writes a lot of these estimates himself, and Denise Okafor turns that walkthrough into a schedule, routing crew chiefs Tobias Kwan and Selena Marsh to whichever close-in Portland job or Gresham street needs them that week. With 8 trucks and 12 people on staff and no subcontractors, the crew that shows up is one of ours, not a name we found for the day.
Multnomah County means river crossings — the Willamette bridges for anything moving between Portland’s east and west sides, and the I-84 corridor for jobs stretching toward Troutdale. Denise builds that bridge and commute timing into the load-in window before it ever reaches your invoice, and because the number doesn’t move once Russell has walked the property, a two-bridge cross-town move costs the same flat number as one that never leaves the block.
What a Multnomah County Move Runs
A two-mover crew starts at $109/hr, or Russell Voss sizes up a flat rate by bedroom count once he’s walked the job, starting at $1,850 for four-bedroom-plus homes
The rate doesn’t change whether the address is in Multnomah County, a starter home a few blocks off the MAX line, or a two-story set back on a wooded lot — released-value coverage and the same one-number promise are already built into every figure A Affordable Movers gives you, and nothing gets added once the crew’s finished loading.
