Moving Reviews
Real Portland area customers. Unedited, unfiltered reviews of MoveMaker NorthWest.
Astra W
They did an awesome job! We were stuck in traffic and they were able to start a little later than we scheduled. They quickly unloaded everything we had right where we needed. They were careful with all of our fragile computer equipment. Would recommend!
Jennifer S
Tony and Hunter, we're amazing! My husband even said it was even more efficient when he got out of the way. Thank you.I wish we could take you with us back to the northeast. If I could give ten stars, I would.
Max T
Jacob and Brian were very punctual, right at the start time they were ready to work. They finished early too! They did not lose focus and were able to get all my stuff to fit in the container with a little wiggle room to spare. I could tell there were teaching opportunities being taught and we'll received. They were very polite and did all the heavy lifting I didn't want to do. Highly recommend!
Courtney F
Jacob and Hunter were the best! They were very communicative, helpful and hustled! I would definitely hire them again!
Chloe T
Jake and Hunter were wonderful! Showed up on time, super friendly, and most of all - efficient! They moved all of our stuff in quickly and safely. Would highly recommend this small business!
Kurt S
They did a fantastic job! I had a lot of things that still needed packing, they helped me pack and got the job done in a timely manner. They were very careful with breakable objects and I wasn't worried like I have been in the past with other moving companies.
Eric R
I booked MoveMaker NorthWest for moving from our apartment into a pod. They were communicative and arrived on time. They worked hard and did a great job carefully transferring our belongings into the pod and strapping them in to ensure their safe transport.
Lisa R
Jacob and Hunter were great! They were on time, careful, efficient, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them to help with your move!
Caitlin R
Great service and communication. They went above and beyond to make our things work in the moving container. With 2 people over 3 hours, they got an 1800sf home in a 16’ container.
John V
Only one bad incident. When they were moving my dinning room hutch they accidentally knocked my plasma tv over. I had it leaning up against the China hutch and moved it to the left so they could move the hutch. I feel I'm part to blame because I didn't put it in a safer position. That being said they could have been more careful. I'm hoping it works when I hook it back up.
Now the good part. I was in a horrible mood when they showed up because I'm dealing with all the stuff a person deals with when moving. I was a bit short with them and they put up with my negative attitude for a few minutes. They worked fast and hard and were very careful with the rest of the move. A couple of real nice guys and I definitely recommend them.

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!
