Not every move gets two weeks of notice — a lease that ended faster than expected, a closing date moved up, a Beaverton apartment that needs to be empty by Friday. Denise Okafor’s office keeps a slot open most weeks specifically for calls like these, and same-day availability depends on what’s already on the board, but it’s checked before saying no.

Last-minute jobs price on the same hourly scale as any other local move — $109/hr for two movers up to $179/hr for four — with no rush surcharge added just because the call came in Tuesday for a Wednesday move. The $125 deposit still holds the slot; what’s different is how fast Russell Voss or a crew chief gets out to walk the space, sometimes the same day the call comes in.

Same rule applies under pressure as it does with two weeks’ notice: whatever the walkthrough turns up gets built into the number before the truck shows up, so a rushed move doesn’t turn into a rushed invoice too.

What’s Included

  • Same-day and next-day walkthroughs when the schedule allows
  • No rush surcharge on top of standard hourly rates
  • Furniture blankets and basic protective materials, same as any job
  • Quick-turnaround deposit process to lock the slot
  • Basic liability coverage, same as any scheduled move
  • The price-lock promise even on compressed timelines
  • Direct line to Denise Okafor's office for real-time availability

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.

Not The Typical Willamette Valley Moving Outfit

What A Affordable Movers Does Differently Than Most Portland Movers

Oregon-Licensed, Ready For The State Line Too

We hold our own OR household-goods authority, and our US DOT and MC numbers are already on file for anything that crosses state lines — a same-day job inside Portland or a run up toward Seattle or down toward Sacramento, the paperwork’s done before the truck backs out of the yard.

Every Move Insured Before The First Box Goes On

Basic released-value coverage rides free on every job, and Russell can add full replacement value on the walkthrough if you want the higher payout ceiling locked in before move day That’s the whole conversation — we don’t tack on a coverage upsell once your things are already on the truck.

The Price Doesn’t Move Once We’ve Shaken Hands

A long carry, a flight of stairs, a piece that needs extra padding — if it turns up during the walkthrough, it’s priced in before we agree on a day. No add-on invoice two days later for something we should’ve caught the first time; the figure you sign at the door is the figure you pay.

Our Own Trucks, Our Own Crew, No Subcontractors

Eight trucks and twelve people, every one of them on our own payroll — nobody hands your move off to a rented truck and a stranger. By late fall the crew’s already doubling up moving blankets and running shrink wrap against the Willamette Valley rain, with the truck ramp tarped before a single box goes up it.

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.
