Piano & Heavy-Item Moving in Portland, OR

Pianos, gun safes, and other heavy specialty items, moved by a crew chief and priced by the item, not by surprise.

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

Pianos and gun safes are the two calls that get escalated straight to a crew chief before anything else gets scheduled — an upright wedged into a Sellwood bungalow’s front room, a 700-pound safe bolted into a Tualatin garage slab, a pool table with a slate top in a Lake Oswego basement. These aren’t jobs for whoever’s free that day; Tobias Kwan or Selena Marsh runs them personally.

Piano moves are priced by type: $235 for an upright, $375 for a grand, both including the dolly, straps, and stair-climbing equipment the job needs. Gun safes run $185 to $310 depending on weight and distance from the truck. Whatever the room and the stairs turn out to require gets built into that number at the walkthrough.

Home gyms, pool tables, and large gun cabinets get quoted the same way — walked first, priced once, no per-step surcharge added on move day.

What’s Included

  • Specialized dollies, straps, and piano boards for the item
  • Stair-climbing equipment for upright and grand pianos
  • Crew-chief-led handling, not assigned to the newest hire
  • Basic liability coverage sized to the item's value
  • Doorway and floor protection at both pickup and delivery
  • The price-lock promise once stairs and distance are walked
  • Coordination with a piano technician for tuning, if requested

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.
