Ballpark your Portland-metro move
This page is a quick rough-cut, not a written quote. Run the numbers for a rough figure before you phone the office or fill out the free quote form. To get a binding flat rate with Nadia’s or my signature on it, we’ll want a quick walkthrough first.
Local moves — hourly math
- 1-bedroom apartment, ground floor: 2 movers, 3–5 hours at $145/hr, about $450–$680.
- 2-bedroom home or apartment: 2 movers, 5–8 hours at $145/hr, about $780–$1,180.
- 3-bedroom house: 3 movers, 6–10 hours at $195/hr, about $1,280–$1,980.
- 4-bedroom-plus house: a full-day flat rate, typically $2,050–$3,250 by volume and access.
What’s already baked into the hourly rate
The truck, blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap and tarps, the drive time out of our Wilsonville yard, plus the uniformed W-2 crew. There’s no fuel surcharge, no travel line, and everyday household stairs never cost you a cent more.

What this page is not
This is not a binding written quote. Inventory, stairs, elevator waits, driveway distance, and wet-weather timing all move the real number. Phone the office or send the free quote form, and Nadia will put a genuine flat rate in writing that same day.
Treat the figures above as a back-of-the-napkin gut check, never the signed price. Your real flat rate in writing turns on the actual inventory, the curb and driveway access at both ends, stair and elevator clearance in a walk-up, the downtown Portland loading window, and the corridor miles logged on the truck — a compact Sherwood one-bed and a four-bed Lake Oswego house land in different tiers, and a run up to Seattle prices nothing like a quick hop over to Tualatin or Tigard. For a locked figure on paper, send us a few details and the 503 Moving Labor Services office writes back fast, usually inside the hour on a weekday.
