How We Do It: Our Moving Process & What Sets Us Apart
Detailed Pre-Move Assessment & Planning
Before we move anything, we walk through your home (or do a video walkthrough if needed). We note: stairways, narrow doorways, tight corners — anything that could challenge a piano, safe, or large furniture. That helps us plan the safest path. Many people underestimate this step and end up with scratched walls or damaged items. We don’t skip it.
We also build a clear inventory — what goes, what stays — so you aren’t surprised on moving day.
Proper Packing, Wrapping & Crating
For fragile or high-value items (antiques, fine art, antiques, electronics, etc.), we use:
Bubble wrap, high-density foam, anti-static wrapping, felt padding, and sometimes museum-grade packing materials for paintings. This protects surfaces, reduces shock and avoids moisture damage for wood or metal items.
Custom wooden crates when needed (for statues, heavy antique furniture, artworks), including crate foam inserts for extra protection.
Protective blankets, pads, moving-grade tape, shrink wrap, and corner protectors for furniture and large items.
Special care for electronics or server racks, including anti-static wrapping and secure anchoring.
These materials and packing protocols help ensure nothing gets scratched, cracked, or damaged — especially for items with sentimental or monetary value.
Right Equipment & Trained Movers
We use professional-grade equipment including:
Furniture dollies, heavy-duty appliance dollies, stair-climbing dollies for safe transport up/downstairs or over curbs
Piano boards, ramps, hydraulic lift gates for heavy or awkward items
Furniture sliders, moving straps, ratchet tie-downs, anti-vibration cushioning for secure transport
Climate-controlled trucks when needed — especially for items sensitive to temperature and humidity (wood, antiques, fine art, sensitive electronics)
Plus, our movers are trained in proper lifting, packing, loading/unloading, and careful handling of specialty items. We take safety seriously — for your items and our staff.
Transparent Quotes & Trust-Building Paperwork
We don’t believe in hidden fees. When you request a quote, we:
Go through a detailed walk-through or video survey.
Provide a full inventory and list of services: packing, crating, labor, transport, insurance options.
Offer binding or not-to-exceed quotes depending on your preference. This helps you avoid sudden charges after the move.
Ask only for reasonable down payments (if any). Balance is due upon delivery — not before. Large upfront cash demands are a red flag, and we avoid those.
We give you documented proof: itemized bill, inventory list, and insurance/valuation coverage information so you’re covered if anything unexpected happens.
Careful Loading, Transport & Delivery
On moving day, we:
- Wrap and pad items, secure them with straps and cushioning
- Load with care, anchoring heavy or fragile items
- Use climate-controlled transport if needed
- Navigate tricky access situations (narrow stairs, tight doorways, long carries)
- Unload at destination with equal care, and reassemble items if required (pool tables, furniture, large appliances)
We treat your belongings how we’d treat our own.

What Customers Commonly Worry About — We Address That
| Worry / Concern | What We Do / Why It’s Not a Problem |

What Many Other Movers Miss — But We Don’t
We looked at how specialty movers outside Gresham describe their services. Some offer many of the services listed above, but often they skip clarity. They rely on vague phrases like “white-glove service,” or “we handle antiques,” without explaining exactly how. Others fail to mention packing materials, climate control, or what they do when a move involves stairs or tight spaces.
We don’t do that. We spell out what we use: dollies, custom crates, padding, wrap, climate-controlled trucks when needed. We walk you through the process. We tell you where extra fees may happen (like long carries, stairs, disassembly), so you aren’t surprised. Many pages also skip what happens after the move — reassembly, unpacking, careful placement, or cleanup. We include all of that.
We also go beyond “just furniture.” We cover pianos, safes, pool tables, server racks, medical equipment, artwork — basically anything that regular movers might refuse or handle poorly.
Finally, we treat trust like a priority. We keep licensing & insurance public. We provide written quotes, clear agreements, and itemized billing. We correct the common mistakes people make when selecting a mover — like going for the cheapest quote, not verifying licensing, or ignoring hidden costs

F.A.Qs
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a “specialty move”?
If an item is heavy, bulky, fragile, valuable, or hard to maneuver — like a piano, antique furniture, fine art, safe, pool table, or medical equipment — it typically needs specialty moving. These items require special tools, packaging, and handling beyond regular moving services.
Do you provide custom crating and special packing for antiques, fine art, or sculptures?
Yes. We build custom wooden crates and use high-density foam, felt padding, acid-free tissue (for art), bubble wrap, anti-static wrapping, and other materials depending on the item. That reduces risk of scratches, moisture damage, or breakage.
What happens if there are stairs, narrow hallways, or difficult access to my home?
We plan for it ahead. We use stair-climbing dollies, furniture sliders, protective padding on walls and floors, and experienced movers who know how to navigate tricky spaces — so your items and home stay safe.
How is the cost determined for specialty moving?
We base it on the amount of labor required (how many movers, how much time), the materials/packing needed (custom crates, padding, bubble wrap, wrapping), transport logistics (distance, access difficulty), and any special handling (climate-controlled transport, disassembly/reassembly). If you request, we can give a binding estimate.
Do you require a large deposit or full payment upfront?
No. We only ask for a modest deposit if needed to hold your moving date. The remaining balance is due when we deliver and unload your items — not before.
What if something gets damaged during the move?
We are a licensed, insured moving company. We offer valuation coverage / protection options for high-value items. We also record an itemized inventory and condition report before and after the move to track any damage.
Can you help with packing, unpacking, disassembly, and reassembly too?
Yes. As part of our specialty moving service, we handle packing, unpacking, careful disassembly of heavy furniture or pool tables, and reassembly at destination. We treat it all with care.
