Portland Mover Reviews
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!
They showed up when they said and got the job done, I would definitely use them again
STAR Moving team was very professional and friendly. They cared and valued my opinion of where I wanted everything placed. I will definitely use them again!
Matt, Liam, Joey and Dakota did a great job. They got the move done in the time frame we agreed on up front, and they were very careful with our belongings. We would be happy to work with you again. Many Thanks, Daniel

Great team! Showed up on time and got right down to business. Were professional and efficient from start to finish. Took great care with our belongings and took the time to prep everything to minimize any potential damage. Would definitely recommend the Moving Guy!

Frequently asked moving questions in Portland
Real Advice from Portland Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Portland. (They’re really nice!)
"It rains alot in Oregon, so look for a company with good house prep and techniques to keep your belongings and home dry and clean."
- Moove Moving Labors
"Parking permits are required in downtown Portland. I-405 downtown Portland literally loops all the way around downtown, so you can take North, South, East or Westbound in any direction. Don't panic if you miss your exit."
- Brian's Expert Movers
"Consider minimizing the amount of loose items (e.g., fans, trash cans, lamps, etc.) If everything is boxed and ready to go, your move time will will be quicker, as opposed to having miscellaneous items that are difficult to pack in a moving truck. Consider transporting some of these items in your personal vehicle, if possible."
- Primetime Movers
"Portland and the surrounding areas are unique and beautiful, but busy. Keep traffic in mind, whether you're getting your belongings unloaded or we're loading them up to leave town."
- Thumbs Up Moving Labor - OR
"In Portland, we recommend the U-Haul on 88th and Foster for all of your truck rental needs."
- Portland Movers Ready
"Portland's street offers a lot of hustle and bustle, so be prepared for our movers to act fast when loading and unloading your truck while it's parked in a metered curbside spot. If you happen to move just on the outside of Downtown Portland, be aware of tight streets lined with vehicles, bicycle corrals, and even some of Portland's famous food carts."

Major Neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon
You might know that Portland is Oregon's largest city, but what about the climate being perfect for growing roses? If gardening isn't your thing, there's the iconic Powell's City of Books, the greenery of Forest Park, or the delicious Voodoo Doughnuts to experience instead. Or you can Keep Portland Weird by checking out the city's eclectic music scene, microbreweries, markets, and indie art galleries, too.
Pearl District
The Pearl District used to be an industrial sector, but all the warehouses from its past have been transformed into hip art galleries, restaurants, and bars. For instance, Portland Center Stage at the Armory is, well, a former armory transformed into a theater. Places like the Teardrop Cocktail Lounge even make some of their drink ingredients in-house. The neighborhood isn't far from Downtown either — just travel along 11th and you're there. And when it comes to moving in, let local professional movers handle the logistics.
Alberta Arts District
As you might expect from the name, Alberta Arts District is full of murals, galleries, and colorful storefronts. Situated in the northeast quadrant of Portland, the neighborhood is home to places like the dog-friendly Tin Shed café and whimsical Wonderwood Minigolf. And you absolutely can't miss Last Thursday, a monthly summer event with artists, galleries, and performers lining Alberta Street. When moving day rolls around, let local professional movers who know this neighborhood best handle the heavy lifting.
Hawthorne District
You'll often hear the Hawthorne District described as "quirky". It's not hard to see why when it's home to the extinct volcano Mount Tabor, and over 20 food carts in an open-air market called Hawthorne Asylum. It might be a good idea to visit one of the many local coffee houses for a caffeine boost before playing all night at the arcade bar QuarterLand, too. Thinking of moving to the Hawthorne District? Local professional movers can help you get to your new home stress-free.
Sellwood-Moreland
Along the banks of the Willamette River, you'll find Sellwood-Moreland, a great place for families and nature lovers alike. You can visit the Oaks Amusement Park for some classic rides, or go birdwatching in the wetlands at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Between the waterfront views, parks, and biking trails, you'll forget you're minutes from downtown via the Sellwood Bridge. If you're considering a move to Sellwood-Moreland, local movers can handle the transition to this riverside neighborhood.

Marcus and Nicholas did an outstanding job. They arrived on time and completed all the loading of our container in slightly less than one and a half hours (the estimate was for two hours). They even helped us disassembly a bed and sofa!
Rafael was the best!! He was on time, very patient and vey prepared to do whatever it took to get it done. What a relief. I would 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!
They were so efficient and helpful. I did not think all of my stuff would fit in the POD but they expertly loaded it with room to spare. I highly recommend this company!
Communicated all day regarding arrival time. They were on time and went right to work, listened to our concerns regarding special items and took special care. They were friendly and professional. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them. Thanks, Kenneth, Kevin and Rich. Susan Swartz
Landon and his partner could not have been more considerate or helpful. They moved all our furniture with care and ensured it was put where we wanted it. When we asked them to work overtime they agreed and helped get the last of our possessions inside. Throughout their time they were cheerful and friendly. We would gladly recommend them.
Mr. Perez and his crew were very professional and courteous. They took great care with my tents and work diligently to get the job done to our satisfaction. Definitely hire them again! Thank you Junior!
These guys were so great I can’t say enough …. They were fast and considerate and were careful with all my furniture… they actually carried 2 boxes down at a time and even saved me time… I will never use anyone else and I move a lot so I hope they stay around … love had movers before, no one like these guys… thankyou
Very easy to work with when my arrival time was still in the air. They busted it out nice and fast once I arrived. Very professional! Well worth the minimum two hour block. They got it all done in just over a single hour when I thought it would be closer. Goes to show just how motivated they were, even with all of our last second requests and directions.
Great job packing our stuff in the Pod container! Friendly, professional, knowledgeable guys who worked hard to do a great job. We much appreciate they're making this part of our move go easy.
Jesse and London were fantastic! They made sure everything was protected, wrapped in blankets, and stacked to not move. I would go with this team again!
I booked the movers online. Easy process. Crew arrived on time and worked hard for the booked time. Movers were careful. They packed and secured items well. Very pleased with complete process. I highly recommend
