Apartment & Condo Moving in Portland, OR

Apartment and condo moves across Portland, Beaverton, and Hillsboro, built around building rules instead of fighting them.

Russell writes every one of these himself the same day you send it — no call-center rep relaying your Portland move details secondhand.

Apartment moves run on someone else’s clock as much as ours — a loading dock reserved for a two-hour window in a Hillsboro complex, a freight elevator in a Pearl District high-rise that needs a padded liner before the building manager signs off, a third-floor walk-up in a Beaverton complex with no elevator at all. The crew builds the schedule around whatever the building requires.

Studio and one-bedroom jobs are usually quick, hourly work — $109/hr for two movers covers most of them start to finish. Add a second bedroom, a second flight of stairs, or a condo full of built-ins and the crew size and hour count grow accordingly, but the rate stays on the same published scale, and whatever the unit turns out to hold gets folded into the number before the elevator’s even reserved.

Tobias Kwan or Selena Marsh calls ahead to confirm building requirements — certificate of insurance, elevator padding, move-in windows — so the date doesn’t fall through over paperwork the building needed a week out.

What’s Included

  • Building coordination — COI, elevator reservations, dock windows
  • Furniture blankets and elevator or hallway padding on request
  • Disassembly of bed frames and larger furniture for tight stairwells
  • Basic liability coverage for the move
  • Crew sized to the building's access, not a flat headcount
  • The price-lock promise once the unit's been walked
  • Flexible scheduling around building-imposed move windows

What You’ll Pay

Two ways to book it: $109/hr for a two-mover crew, or a flat rate by bedroom count starting at $1,850 for four-bedroom-plus homes if you’d rather lock in a total up front

Truck, blankets, and dollies are built into the rate, not billed as extras: $109 for two movers, $145 for three, $179 for four, each added mover after that at $36 an hour, or a flat $1,850 to $2,500 for four-bedroom-plus homes if you’d rather skip the clock — a $125 deposit applies either way. Basic released-value coverage rides free on every job, and whatever the walkthrough turns up gets folded into that number the same day — it’s the number on your invoice, not a starting point for add-ons.

Questions About This Service

How much does an apartment move cost in Portland?
Most studio and 1-bedroom apartment moves run on our hourly rate — $109/hr for a 2-mover crew. Larger condos or units with stairs may need a 3- or 4-mover crew at $145-$179/hr. The rate is set once the unit's walked, and it holds.
Do you handle building requirements like certificates of insurance?
Yes — Denise Okafor's office handles COI requests and elevator or dock reservations directly with the property manager ahead of moving day.
What if my building doesn't have an elevator?
We price stairs into the crew size and hour count during the walkthrough, so a third-floor walk-up doesn't turn into a surprise charge on the invoice.

One Number At The Walkthrough, The Same Number On The Invoice

“I spent years writing estimates for a national van line, and the number almost never held — a long carry, a flight of stairs, a fuel surcharge, all tacked on after the walkthrough was already signed. I started this company so I’d stop doing that to people. Since 2013, the rule’s been simple: whatever the walkthrough turns up gets folded into one number that day, and that number is what’s on the invoice.”

One Number. No Surprises. No Middleman.

You’re talking to the person who actually owns the trucks. Russell built this company on one rule: the number he gives you at the walkthrough is the number you sign for — no fuel surcharge, no stairs fee, no surprise tacked on after the fact.
