These guys were great! They were careful with all my stuff and my freshly painted house but at the same time got the job done quickly. I also had them set up my bed and move a heavy stove into the basement. They were helpful, polite, and professional. This was a very positive experience and I highly recommend them!

SO sweet and incredible at what they do! They took great care of our belongings and were very considerate of where we wanted things placed throughout our home. I would absolutely hire them again!

The team did a great and quick job. They showed up a little after we set the time to start. My only wish is they communicated and confirmed as I only had hire a helper confirmation.

The two men that helped me move into my pod were wonderful. They helped package up my two TVs, and took apart my bed frame for me. They were efficient and gentle with all my furniture. Would recommend to anyone.

I cannot recommend this crew highly enough. The entire process went so smoothly and efficiently. We did a quick walkthrough of the house and what we were moving before they jumped it and started loading. Everything we wanted to get loaded, plus extra, with room to spare. They were very friendly, helping us wrap/protect furniture and offering to help pack boxes. All our belongings were carefully stacked and protected with moving blankets.

Overall, best experience I've ever had with movers. I would 100% use them again if I was moving in the area. 10/10, 5 Star, A+, give them a call.

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!
