You have an opportunity to start afresh in a new space - start by getting rid of things you no longer need or use. If you are able to, take time before you move to go through your belongings to make sure you are only bringing the things you really want. Those sweaters with the holes you swore you would fix, the sticks you assembled to work on that project you can't quite remember, and when WAS the last time you cleaned our your filing cabinet?

Start with donating the items that are still usable and in good condition. For everything else, it is as easy as a trip to the dump. A little to busy to run to the dump? Check-out our junk removal services - they make spring cleaning hassle-free!

Most tables, desks, shelves, and children's play sets can be broken down into smaller sizes. Taking the time to breakdown these large pieces of furniture will ensure you are able to save space in the moving truck, reduce the number of awkward loads that could potentially be hazardous to move, and allow you to properly protect your more delicate pieces of furniture with pads and cushioning.
Unable to break down your furniture? That's okay!
We offer this as part of our full service long distance move.

Common Questions about Long Distance Moving from Portland, Oregon:
Each company will have their own definition for long distance moving. Typically, a long distance move is 30 miles or more from your starting point. This means that even if you are still moving within the state of Oregon, your move may be considered a Long Distance Move if it is more than 30 miles away from your starting point.
There are typically more logistics and planning that come into play when you are moving a long distance. Hiring a long distance moving company will make sure that you are hiring someone that can handle those logistics, and has experience in managing the unique challenges that come with long distance moves.

There are many factors to consider when hiring long distance movers. Here are just a few things to look for in long distance moving services:
Hire Local
By hiring local companies you can avoid online scams by meeting with them ahead of time, talking in person, and evaluating their equipment before move day. Additionally, local movers will have a better idea of your needs based on the area you are moving out of and/or moving to.
Get a Quote
Most moving companies should send a representative to evaluate your needs and give you an estimate. If a company does not do this, it could be a red flag. The American Moving & Storage Association recommends getting at least three quotes to ensure you are getting the best offers.
Verify Credentials
Every mover has a license through the Department of Transportation. If a mover is licensed you should see the DOT number on it's website and in its advertising. If a mover is missing these credentials, that would be a good reason to move on to a different offer.
Read Reviews
Reading customer reviews is an easy way to learn more about the moving companies you are looking into. Google has easy to access reviews right on their search pages, Yelp and Angie's list also offer good ways to see what customers have said about a company. Reading through the reviews will allow you to get a complete picture of the moving company and an idea of what your experience would be like if you worked with them.
