The guys at MoveMaker NorthWest are amazing! They arrived on time, were friendly, quick and efficient and very attentive to and accommodating of my requests. Will definitely recommend them to my friends and will be using their services again when it’s time to move my things out of storage and into my new place. :) Thanks guys!

Didn’t show. We even got 2 confirmation text messages that they were on their way. Then nothing. Really bizarre.

Mover's response:
Hello Megan, the messages were an automated part of the service. We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience. We are a tightly knit team and late the previous night the crew that was assigned to your job was in a major car accident. We found out the next morning and in our panic dropped the ball on communication with you. We lost one of our friends that day, but we are also a business and have put measures in place to ensure better communication going forward.

The Hire Helper Team was extremely flexible and professional when it came to last minute changes to the move date due to conflicts. The young men on the team were courteous and hard working. They had me moved into my apartment before I knew it. I’d definitely use the company again.

Jonathan and Miles did a great job helping us. They were on time, communicated well, made sure we had the tools we would need and organized the hell out of our truck. They even worked with us to make sure we got there ok after our moving vehicle got stranded on the side of the road. Excellent service.

They were late due to traffic, but called to let us know. They got right to work and got the job done more quickly than expected. They were friendly and agreeable.

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!
