Portland Mover Reviews
Great service and communication. They went above and beyond to make our things work in the moving container. With 2 people over 3 hours, they got an 1800sf home in a 16’ container.
Great job. Well organized and efficient.
Kenneth and his team were amazing! Super communicative and professional. Took extra care to get things set up and in the right place. Will definitely use them again!
They were great! Showed up on time and got er done! 5 out of 5 stars for 5 Star Moving!
The best!!! Professional and hardworking!!! I will recommend this service to all my friends and family
Ed, Jay and Abdul are Very experienced movers that really made quick and carful job to load our stuff. Great job!
Showed up one time. Respectful and efficient in their work.
Fantastic! Showed up on time. Stayed until the job was done even though it took an extra hour and a half. I would absolutely recommend August Movers to friends and family. I live 3,000 miles away and they treated my father just like family and helped him get his house loaded in to 2 Pods. Thank you so much!
Great job! Definitely recommend.
Both Rashad (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and Travis did a great job! We only needed help with the heavy unloading, they were very respectful of our stuff, got our heavy stuff moved in quickly and communicated if anything popped up. We’d use them again.
This move ended up being easier than hiring movers/packers, which I have done in the past. This time, however, the move was from Pennsylvania to Oregon, so we packed up a POD, filled it to capacity, and hired people from "Moving fellows" to assist with the move-in. Our shipment was late, but they were accommodating. Additionally, it was New Year's Eve, and they stayed as long as we needed. We were very pleased, and highly recommend them.
Very professional. Called ahead of time to confirm time and locations. I would use them again.
THESE ARE THE MOVING MEN YOU WANT! Thank God for these 2 men. This moving company is the best I’ve ever experienced. They really cared for my items, the went up flights of stairs and never stopped and never complained. They worked 2-hours straight and they didn’t even take a water break when I offered. They did this all in a hot, brick, old building with no elevator. They were wonderful gentlemen and I would recommend Forest Moving and More LLC to ANYONE who wants hard-working, kind, wonderful people to help make a big move look easy.
Great movers!

Frequently asked moving questions in Portland
Real Advice from Portland Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Portland. (They’re really nice!)
"It rains alot in Oregon, so look for a company with good house prep and techniques to keep your belongings and home dry and clean."
- Moove Moving Labors
"Parking permits are required in downtown Portland. I-405 downtown Portland literally loops all the way around downtown, so you can take North, South, East or Westbound in any direction. Don't panic if you miss your exit."
- Brian's Expert Movers
"Consider minimizing the amount of loose items (e.g., fans, trash cans, lamps, etc.) If everything is boxed and ready to go, your move time will will be quicker, as opposed to having miscellaneous items that are difficult to pack in a moving truck. Consider transporting some of these items in your personal vehicle, if possible."
- Primetime Movers
"Portland and the surrounding areas are unique and beautiful, but busy. Keep traffic in mind, whether you're getting your belongings unloaded or we're loading them up to leave town."
- Thumbs Up Moving Labor - OR
"In Portland, we recommend the U-Haul on 88th and Foster for all of your truck rental needs."
- Portland Movers Ready
"Portland's street offers a lot of hustle and bustle, so be prepared for our movers to act fast when loading and unloading your truck while it's parked in a metered curbside spot. If you happen to move just on the outside of Downtown Portland, be aware of tight streets lined with vehicles, bicycle corrals, and even some of Portland's famous food carts."

Major Neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon
You might know that Portland is Oregon's largest city, but what about the climate being perfect for growing roses? If gardening isn't your thing, there's the iconic Powell's City of Books, the greenery of Forest Park, or the delicious Voodoo Doughnuts to experience instead. Or you can Keep Portland Weird by checking out the city's eclectic music scene, microbreweries, markets, and indie art galleries, too.
Pearl District
The Pearl District used to be an industrial sector, but all the warehouses from its past have been transformed into hip art galleries, restaurants, and bars. For instance, Portland Center Stage at the Armory is, well, a former armory transformed into a theater. Places like the Teardrop Cocktail Lounge even make some of their drink ingredients in-house. The neighborhood isn't far from Downtown either — just travel along 11th and you're there. And when it comes to moving in, let local professional movers handle the logistics.
Alberta Arts District
As you might expect from the name, Alberta Arts District is full of murals, galleries, and colorful storefronts. Situated in the northeast quadrant of Portland, the neighborhood is home to places like the dog-friendly Tin Shed café and whimsical Wonderwood Minigolf. And you absolutely can't miss Last Thursday, a monthly summer event with artists, galleries, and performers lining Alberta Street. When moving day rolls around, let local professional movers who know this neighborhood best handle the heavy lifting.
Hawthorne District
You'll often hear the Hawthorne District described as "quirky". It's not hard to see why when it's home to the extinct volcano Mount Tabor, and over 20 food carts in an open-air market called Hawthorne Asylum. It might be a good idea to visit one of the many local coffee houses for a caffeine boost before playing all night at the arcade bar QuarterLand, too. Thinking of moving to the Hawthorne District? Local professional movers can help you get to your new home stress-free.
Sellwood-Moreland
Along the banks of the Willamette River, you'll find Sellwood-Moreland, a great place for families and nature lovers alike. You can visit the Oaks Amusement Park for some classic rides, or go birdwatching in the wetlands at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Between the waterfront views, parks, and biking trails, you'll forget you're minutes from downtown via the Sellwood Bridge. If you're considering a move to Sellwood-Moreland, local movers can handle the transition to this riverside neighborhood.

Just got everything unloaded and your guys were amazing, nothing was broken, everything was tucked in so carefully. They spent the time to ask questions and worked like a three man machine. I was so impressed with them and they were very kind and respectful. Thank you so much for sending me a great bunch of guys
Jacob and Hunter were great! They took a lot of care packing the truck to protect some fragile appliances I had that were a tight squeeze, and were very professional throughout the job.
Arrived on time and worked super hard while still being friendly and polite, which is more than I’m capable of when carrying heavy furniture. I would rate them higher if I could.
The 4 man crew I used were great. They were on time, showed great care with my things, and managed to get so much more into the PODS than I imagined. I only hired two hours to see and will be hiring them back for the rest of my packing. It was such a relief since my health won’t allow me to do any myself.
Sergio and Sal are as PRO as it gets. Fantastic job, loaded our very full 2-Bedroom townhome in a little over an hour and fit everything into a 20ft truck! They were fantastic, on time, fast and incredibly careful with our belongings.
Kenneth and his crew were early, quick, careful, and funny to boot! Absolutely enjoyed interacting with them during the moving process, and appreciated all the effort they put in to making this move as smooth as possible.
Great last minute service. Called to get help at the last minute. They fit me in and brought a heavy Murphy Bed that I bought off Craigslist. They got it moved down two stairs and load my pickup in just a few minutes and I was on my way Great Job Guys, your on my call list for anything I need to move. Strongly recommend these /4.7 Portland Movers guys. Fast, friendly and get the job done
The two young men really worked hard with what I had and arranged everything just the way I thought but, I had a unexpected collection and they work it out for me so GOOD job!
These guys were amazing. Speedy, excellent packers, polite and very respectful of our things and time. Highly recommended, if only we could use them again when we finish moving across the country!
Amazing guys! They were so adaptable, so fast, and were so careful with my things. And they were early! Offered to stay as many hours as I needed and even brought be furniture pads when I didn't have any. Highly highly recommended these guys for your next move.
I had R.E.D.S move my apartment contents into two PODS on one of the hottest summer days. They arrived early and were very professional. I had booked 2 hours of labor. They handled everything carefully and packed both pods in under 2 hours. I would hire them again without a doubt.
The team communicated well. They arrived on time and were extremely efficient. They did a great job loading the pod. I am very satisfied and would recommend to others.
