Why Choose Moving Fellows in Happy Valley?

Hillsboro, Oregon

We focus on students & small-space moves

Most moving companies treat a dorm or small apartment like a full house. That often means unnecessary cost or careless handling. We know what dorm life looks like — tight stairwells, narrow hallways, last-minute deadlines, and limited parking. We plan for those.

Licensed, insured, trained movers

You deserve movers who show up on time, wear identifiable uniforms, and use proper trucks and equipment. We’re licensed and insured. We carry the right covering for injury or damage. We follow Oregon moving regulations. That gives you peace of mind.

Many Happy Valley moving companies don’t highlight their compliance or credentials — but we do. Because reliability matters.

Transparent pricing + flexible service levels

Moving cost in Happy Valley varies depending on crew size, services, and distance. Local movers cite estimates like ~ $526 for a 1-bedroom apartment with movers and truck.

You might only need loading/unloading help (labor-only), or full-service including packing, transport, and unpacking. We offer both. You pay only for what you need. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Easy scheduling — summer break, semester start, or last-minute

Student moves often come at odd times — summer break, semester start, or last-minute housing changes. We work with you to schedule a convenient day (often weekdays or early mornings, when parking and access are easier).

We also help coordinate with dorm or apartment management — elevator access, building approvals, move-in windows, parking permits, etc. This is often skipped by other movers, leading to delays or denied entry.

Focus on safety, care, and damage protection

We use mattress bags, moving blankets, furniture pads, ratchet straps, and shrink wrap to protect your stuff. Fragile items, electronics, bookshelves — we treat them carefully.

If something gets damaged, we offer damage protection options and inventory tracking. We make a list before we start. We communicate clearly. You know what moved and how.

Honest reviews, local reputation, and community trust

Unlike some big national brands that treat student moves like any other job, we are rooted in Happy Valley and care about our reputation here. We invite you to read reviews, ask questions, and check that our trucks, crew, and insurance are real.

What We Do: Student Moving Services + More

We know student moves are different. You often have small spaces, tight hallways, little time, and lots of stuff (books, electronics, bedding, boxes). That’s why our services go beyond “just load and drive.” We offer:

  • Dorm Room Moving
  • On-Campus / Off-Campus Moving
  • Apartment Moving
  • Shared Housing Moving
  • Furniture Moving & Small Moves
  • Packing & Unpacking Services
  • Loading & Unloading Help
  • Move-In / Move-Out Assistance
  • Short-Term Storage Solutions (ideal for summer break)
  • Moving Labor-Only (for students renting a truck but needing help)
  • Delivery of Packing Supplies (moving boxes, mattress bags, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, etc.)
  • Summer Break Storage Moves
  • Optional Long-Distance Student Relocation (for transfers or moving home)

We bring tools like hand trucks/dollies, furniture pads, moving blankets, ratchet straps, shrink wrap, mattress bags, and more. We can disassemble your furniture, reassemble it at the new place, help navigate tight stairways or elevators, and properly wrap fragile items like electronics or artwork.

If you just want help with loading or unloading (say you rent a truck yourself), we got you. If you want us to handle everything — packing, transport, unloading — we also do that.

Why Other Movers Fall Short — And How We Do It Better

We reviewed top-ranking moving companies in Happy Valley and noticed some common gaps. That’s exactly where Moving Fellows aims to stand out.

Generic Service, Not Student-Focused

Many movers treat every job the same — even big houses and dorm rooms. That often means overpaying or careless handling.
We focus on students. Small spaces, tight apartments, dorm hallways — we know how to handle them.

Lack of Transparency or Written Agreements

Some movers don’t provide detailed quotes. You only find out about extra charges (stairs, boxes, packing supplies) when the final bill arrives. That’s a risks many students can’t take.

We provide clear, itemized quotes. No vague language. No surprise fees.

No Packing Supplies or Packing Services

Packing takes a long time — especially when you also have finals, classes, and dorm-move deadlines. Some companies expect you to pack everything yourself.
We deliver packing supplies — boxes, wrap, tape — and can pack (or unpack) for you if you want.

No Short-Term Storage Option

Lots of students need storage over summer or a gap between leases. Many movers don’t offer secure storage.
We offer short-term storage — so you don’t have to scramble.

No Damage Protection or Poor Communication

Some companies don’t emphasize protection or inspections before and after the move. That means you risk damaged items or lost stuff.
We record inventory, wrap carefully, offer protection. And we keep in touch — before, during, and after the move — to make sure everything goes smoothly.

How to Schedule Your Student Move with Moving Fellows

If you’re ready to book, here’s what to do:

  1. Visit our website / call us for a free estimate.
  2. Tell us: your current address, destination (dorm, apartment, storage), approximate volume (boxes, furniture, mattress, etc.), desired date.
  3. Get a clear, itemized quote. No surprises.
  4. Confirm — we book your slot, send confirmation, and coordinate parking, elevator access, or building approval if needed.
  5. On move day — we show up on time, in uniform, with the right truck and equipment. We handle everything.
  6. After the move — we walk through with you. You check your inventory. You pay (or we invoice).

Final Word: Moving Shouldn’t Be a Headache

You’ve got enough on your plate — classes, finals, lease deadlines, summer break planning. The last thing you need is to wrestle with mattresses, furniture, or awkward boxes.

Let Moving Fellows take care of the heavy lifting. We know Happy Valley. We know student moves. We know apartments and dorms. We know what goes wrong — and how to get it right.

If you want a free quote, just reach out. We’ll walk you through what you need, how much it’ll cost, and how to get from A to B without a single box tearing or back strain.

Your next move should be about new beginnings, not broken furniture.

 

F.A.Qs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost to move me out of my dorm or small apartment in Happy Valley?

It depends on how much stuff you have and what services you need. A 1-bedroom apartment move (with movers + truck) in Happy Valley often runs around $526. If you only need loading/unloading help (labor-only), expect less. We always give a free quote first so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Do you bring moving boxes and packing materials, or do I need to get them myself?

We can deliver moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, mattress bags, wardrobe boxes, tape, and more — before your move. If you prefer to pack yourself, that’s fine too. Or you can ask us to pack for you. Your choice.

What if there are stairs, narrow hallways, or dorm-style elevators? Can you still move me?

Yes. We bring dollies, furniture pads, shrink wrap, straps — all the gear you need. We’ll navigate stairs or tight halls carefully. We also coordinate with building management (for elevator access or parking permits) before the move to avoid last-minute issues.

Can you store my stuff short-term (e.g. over summer break)?

Yes. We offer short-term, secure storage for students — great for summer break or between leases. We can store your stuff safely and deliver it when you’re ready.

What happens if something gets damaged during my move?

We record inventory before we start. We wrap and pad your furniture and fragile items. We carry insurance and offer damage protection options. If something does get damaged, you’re covered.

When should I book — and how far ahead?

As soon as you know your move date. For summer or semester-start moves, 2–4 weeks ahead is best. But we often handle last-minute moves (especially labor-only or small apartment moves), if we have availability.

Do you charge extra for stairs, long walks, or if I need packing/unpacking?

If there are stairs, narrow hallways, multiple flights, or lots of heavy furniture — it can affect price. Packing/unpacking and extra materials (boxes, wrap, etc.) are also priced separately. But we include all potential charges upfront in your quote — so no surprise fees.
