Hiring professional movers to pack and unpack your belongings may seem like a splurge – but it’s a service that dramatically speeds up the process and reduces stress for everyone. At Cheap Movers Portland we know that packing up a house, apartment or business isn’t easy – and it takes a lot of time. If you’re moving here in Portland, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton, or Vancouver, WA, you may want professional help to pack your home. Age and health limitations can make packing and heavy lifting difficult. Improperly packed china, glassware, and lamps are easily damaged in transport. Some furniture, such as bed frames and large dining tables, must be carefully taken apart and re-assembled. Putting your valuables (and your health) at risk may not be worth the savings of doing it yourself.
When you meet with your moving professional, make an honest assessment of your household, your budget, and your own abilities. Professional packers save time – most people include some packing services in their moving contract. Cheap Movers Portland is your one-stop resource to find trained and insured packing and unpacking professionals in the Portland, OR area.

When you choose full packing services, your mover’s professional packing team handles your entire move. They’ll pack up everything and label each item with the correct room. Furniture is wrapped, and fragile items are boxed up with packing paper and Styrofoam peanuts. With a full-service packing solution, you’ll need to be ready! Clean out those closets ahead of time and relax while they do the work.
With a partial packing service, you’ll hire movers to pack only certain rooms or items for you. Meet with your moving company to confirm what they should pack. Don’t forget, professional movers are trained to pack breakables correctly, and they work quickly! It’s smart to let the pros pack your dishes, lamps, and glassware and to handle large furniture for you.
Antiques, collectibles, and fine art are valuable and may have fragile detailing that needs extra protection. Specialty packing services might include making custom cushioning, wrapping, and securing the item to a pallet or putting it in a heavy wooden crate. Cheap Movers Portland knows which professional packers in the Portland-Vancouver area have the resources to crate your antiques and fine art for safe travel.
Bedroom sets, wall units, and even some dining tables must be taken apart when you move, then re-assembled at your destination. Some appliances and large televisions require partial disassembly or need to be carried upright. The professional movers we partner with in Portland and Vancouver have the training to handle each of these hard-to-move items correctly.
