Labor-Only Moving in Gresham, OR — Moving Fellows

Why Gresham Residents Choose Moving Fellows

Here’s how we’re different — and what matters when you’re moving around town:

Local Know-How That Saves Time & Headaches

We know Gresham: from narrow stairwells in older apartments downtown to steep driveways in neighborhoods like Hollybrook or North Gresham. That means we bring the right tools (dollies, hand trucks, furniture blankets, tie-down straps, floor protection runners) and the right techniques to get your move done efficiently and safely.

Real Cost Savings, Compared to Full-Service Moves

Hiring movers to only do the heavy lifting often costs 50-60% less than full-service moving.
Because you’re renting the truck (or container) and controlling when you move, you save money and control timing — while still getting expert help with loading/unloading and heavy lifting.

Flexibility & Control Over Your Move

You choose the truck, container, timing, and pace. Whether you want to load yourself and have us unload at the other end, or just get help for a couple of hours — we’ll work with you.

Experienced, Background-Checked Crew

Our movers are trained in safe lifting techniques, heavy-item handling, furniture disassembly/reassembly, and efficient truck/container loading. They know how to move bulky or odd-shaped items without damaging walls, doorways, or floors — something many DIYers overlook.

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees

We quote by the hour, with clear estimates, no surprise “extra charges.” We discuss minimum-hours, overtime, stairs or long carries, and any additional complexity up front — so you know what you’re signing up for.

Great for Short-notice or DIY-style Moves

Maybe you already rented a U-Haul and your friend backed out. Maybe you’re downsizing, rearranging, or just moving heavy furniture within your home. We fill that gap. We even help with loading/unloading PODS containers or storage units — common for people moving long-distance or storing furniture short-term.

What to Expect — Our Move Process in Gresham

Get in touch & tell us your plan

You tell us what needs moving — how many boxes, furniture items, apartments vs. house, stairs, elevators, parking, etc.

We give you a straightforward quote

Based on crew size (2, 3 or 4 movers), estimated hours, any stairs or heavy items, and what kind of service (loading, unloading, in-home, etc.).

You rent the truck/container

You pick and control the rental (U-Haul, PODS, Penske, Budget, etc.). You also handle packing or buying supplies (boxes, moving blankets, tape, bubble wrap) — unless you book packing help.

We show up with equipment & muscle

Dollies, appliance carts, furniture blankets, straps — all ready. We handle safe lifting, furniture disassembly/reassembly, careful loading so items don’t shift, and protect walls/floors during the move.

Load or unload efficiently

We work fast — usually 2–3 times faster than doing it yourself. Once done, you head home (or on your way).

Post-move check & clean up

We make sure everything’s placed where you want, nothing’s damaged, and spaces are left neat.

Sample Pricing Guide (Estimate for Gresham Moves)

Pricing varies based on crew size, move size, and complexity — but here’s a rough idea:

* These are rough estimates. Final quote depends on actual items, stairs, distance from truck, heavy or specialty items, and any disassembly/reassembly required.

Why Many Other Gresham Movers Fall Short — And How Moving Fellows Does It Better

• Some companies treat labor-only as a “side service” — but we specialize in it. That means our crews do this day in, day out: loading PODS containers, hauling heavy items up stairs, packing trucks efficiently.
• Some move helpers show up untrained or without proper equipment. We always bring dollies, hand trucks, blankets, straps — and know how to use them safely.
• Hidden fees: some companies charge extra for stairs, long carries, disassembly or reassembly. We talk through all those details upfront so you get a clear quote.
• Lack of local experience: many helpers don’t know Gresham’s neighborhoods, narrow stairwells, parking constraints, or common layout problems. Our team does.
