How a Portland office move runs
I take commercial calls from downtown Portland offices, Pearl District creative suites, Beaverton and Hillsboro business parks, medical and dental practices, and light-industrial shops along the Wilsonville tech corridor. Most business moves we schedule Friday evening through Sunday, so you reopen in the new space by Monday.
We bill hourly at the same rate — $145 for two movers, $195 for three — though an office job usually calls for three to five movers, and most of those get a flat rate instead. Cargo coverage up to $1,000,000 per shipment, same-day COI to both landlords, Oregon household-goods authority plus US DOT and MC on file.
Example office-move flat rates
| Business type | Crew | Typical flat rate |
|---|---|---|
| Small downtown storefront suite | 3 movers | $1,250 – $1,780 |
| Dental or medical office | 3–4 movers | $2,250 – $3,400 |
| Restaurant or retail build-out | 3–4 movers | $2,050 – $3,550 |
| Multi-suite professional office | 4 movers | $2,950 – $4,300 |
| Tech-corridor light-industrial shop | 4–5 movers + extra truck | $3,600 – $5,600 |
What a DIY office move misses
We are talking server racks, copier-finisher units, file cabinets strapped and hauled while still loaded, and conference tables that have to be broken down first. Nadia lines up the certificates of insurance for both buildings in the same week, while Wes reserves the after-hours downtown dock window. Add warehouse storage when the new space isn’t ready, or long-distance if you’re pulling operations in from Seattle or Boise.

So what will it run you?
Two uniformed movers plus the truck run $145/hr on the clock, or lock the meter shut with a signed Portland-metro flat figure that puts the entire move on one page
Pads, dollies, shrink-wrap and the careful hand-carries a Sherwood bungalow or a Lake Oswego hillside staircase demand are already in the rate, and so is any Certificate of Insurance a downtown Portland high-rise or a West Linn HOA needs on file. Need a third mover added? That moves the hourly to $195/hr.
