If you’re planning a residential move, you may consider handling the move yourself. Round up some friends, rent a truck, and order some pizza! But ask anyone who has moved their own household – they’ll tell you the DIY approach takes much longer, things get broken, and sometimes people get hurt. A residential moving service can move your entire home or apartment for you without the DIY risks. If you’re on a tight budget, you can hire professional movers just to handle the heavy lifting. This popular approach is less expensive, but much safer. Consider having your moving service also wrap and secure your large furniture and appliances – it’s worth the cost to protect them from damage. Whatever services you need, our partner moving companies will provide a detailed price quote.
At Cheap Movers Portland, we specialize in helping you find qualified movers for your home in the greater Portland metropolitan area. We make sure our moving companies are reliable, licensed, and insured. Let us help you find a residential moving service that fits your needs:
Hourly services work best for short-distance moving and small loads. Hire trained, professional movers and a truck on an hourly or daily basis. This budget-friendly service is perfect when you want to handle all your own packing. Be sure to wrap and secure your furniture and be ready to load up when the truck arrives.
Moving your apartment may seem like a small job, but it can be complicated. You may be liable for damage to hallways and stairwells, so carrying things up and down yourself is risky. Professional movers are trained in moving furniture up and down stairs and through elevators. They’ll bring enough staff and the right equipment to avoid damage to the property and your belongings.
Residential moving companies who are experienced in condo moving can help your move go quickly and smoothly. Condominium associations often have strict rules about moving in and out. Check with your association management about regulations and moving times and provide the information to your movers. You can be charged for damage to buildings and walkways, and they may require elevators to be padded while moving. Like apartments, condos require special equipment for moving heavy items.
With our residential moving partners, you’ll have vetted and licensed movers working in your home. Professional residential movers from the Portland area can give you an in-house estimate. They’ll calculate how many boxes you’ll need, what size truck to use, and how large your team of movers needs to be. You’ll be able to discuss how much of the home you’d like to pack yourself, and how much they’ll do for you.
A full-service move includes all moving services – an in-home assessment, calculation, and quote, and wrapping all furniture and appliances. Plus, your moving company will carefully pack your entire house for you. They’ll also place your furniture and unpack all boxes at your new home. This end-to-end service isn’t just for long distance moving. Retirees and large households within the Portland area can especially benefit from full service moving.
Furniture, art and decor that has carving, marble, or mirrors may need to be specially packed or crated for moving. Residential movers protect your valuables and can deliver them locally or ship them long distance.
Whether you need to move an old upright piano or a valuable baby grand, let a residential moving specialist handle it for you. They know how to handle these delicate instruments to make sure they travel well-supported and arrive safely.
Find professional movers to help you load just about anything – they’ll make sure your load is secure for travel. If you’re receiving a shipment and need to unload, professional movers have the staff and equipment to handle it for you.
