Stress-Free Relocation Services You Can Trust

When you’re ready to choose a residential moving company, you’ll find there are a lot of options. But there’s only one choice when you want to be sure you’ll have the best possible experience: Smooth Move People.

As your trusted home movers in the Portland metro area, we understand that relocating to a new residence can be a daunting task. Whether you’re simply moving across town or heading to a different state, our team of experienced movers is here to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience for homeowners and renters alike.

Our Approach to Residential Moves

At Smooth Move People, we prioritize efficiency and professionalism with every residential move we undertake. Our dedicated team of experienced movers is committed to handling your belongings with the utmost care and ensuring they reach your new home safely and securely.

From packing and loading to transportation and unpacking, we handle every aspect of your move with precision and attention to detail.

Portland is Our Home

We’ve called Portland, Oregon our home since 1989. So our team knows how to navigate the local neighborhoods and traffic, ensuring timely deliveries to your new residence.

Our local Portland movers have been up, down, in, and out of nearly every street around the Rose City, including the ones that angle sharply upwards towards the treeline. Our familiarity with the city’s layout enables us to streamline the moving process, minimizing any potential delays.

We move city folks to the coast, Portland residents to Vancouver and Seattle, and Northwesterners to points all across the United States.

Residential Services

We offer a wide variety of residential moving services for our Portland neighbors:

Packing services – We pride ourselves on being a full-service moving company. So we’ll help pack all or some of your possessions to ease the stress of your next move.

Apartment moves – Don’t worry about lugging boxes up and down your apartment building’s stairs. We’ll take care of all your moving needs.

Long-distance moves – Starting a new life outside of the Portland area? We’ll get you (and your possessions) where you’re going safe and sound.

Load and unload – Whether you’re moving across town or out of state, we’ll do all the heavy lifting, loading and unloading of your belongings.

Community movers – Some of our clients have residents who move in and out frequently. When you deal with frequent moves, it’s important to have a moving company you can depend on.

Community involvement – We support organizations that provide moving services and transition assistance for those in need.

Our Rates Can’t Be Beat!

Smooth Move People offers the lowest moving rates around. Seriously. We encourage you to comparison shop, but we think you’ll eventually be calling us.

When we say we have the lowest rates, it’s not just some gimmicky marketing line. We charge the lowest moving rate permitted by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Plus, since we own all of our equipment — trucks, supplies, etc. — our overhead is much lower than other companies.

Of course, every move is different. Call us today and we can get you a quote for your next move. Moving across the country? We’ll give you an estimate for that, too.

SMOOTH MOVE PEOPLE: A LOCAL PORTLAND MOVING COMPANY

When you need a professional residential home mover in Portland, you don’t want a fly-by-night newcomer. You want a company that has earned its stripes — one that works to win your trust. You want a mover that’s been around the block a few times.

Since 1989, the smooth movers at Smooth Move People have been up, down, in, and out of nearly all the streets around the Rose City, including the ones that angle sharply upwards towards the treeline. (We’ve also been over the river and through the woods quite often.)

We move city folks to the coast, Portland residents to Vancouver and Seattle, and Northwesterners to points all across these United States.

Smooth Move People is a family-owned and operated Portland moving company, and we’re proud to say we take the worry out of local residential moving and long-distance residential moving.

We’ve compiled a few quick tips about our residential moving services:

Getting a Move On

Our professional movers offer reliable moving services for residential moves for both long-distance and local moves.

Load ‘Em Up, Load ‘Em Out

We offer professional loading and unloading services in the Portland area, including putting things precisely where you want them and assembling them, as needed.

Packing Services and Supplies

Don’t be caught unprepared. When you work with Smooth Move People, we’ll bring our own packing supplies or use yours. Whatever works best for you!

Why Choose Smooth Move People As Your Movers in Portland?

We’re good at what we do. We’ve carried wide beds up narrow stairwells, hefted hefty sofas into highrise condos, and safely transported everything from family heirlooms to sparkling new treasures.

Plus, we specialize in moving the following items, making us truly a one-stop shop for all your Portland moving needs:

  • Pianos: Leave the heavy lifting to us. A piano is huge, but it’s also a delicate instrument. Let Smooth Move People get your piano from Point A to Point B — or middle C, as the case may be.
  • Heavy lifting: Speaking of heavy lifting, we have a whole page dedicated to just that! And there’s a lot more to heavy equipment moving than simply picking the item up and dropping it off.
  • Decorative art: We take care of every item we move, because all your items are special. But let’s face it, some items — like artwork, especially if it’s a family heirloom — are more special than others.
  • Fragile moving: Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind. Our moving services combined with our experience should do just that — even as we pack your most fragile items and move them to your new home.

From Sellwood to St. Johns, Laurelhurst to the Pearl, downtown to the West Hills, we’re the moving company that Portlanders trust.
