From the moment we contacted Doug Kentfield requesting an estimate, to his congenial visit with us, to the moment we met the moving team, Jason and Gata, in our driveway promptly on time, we were impressed with the company’s professionalism and care in... moving our furniture. The movers were excellent problem solvers and were patient and helpful, respectful and communicative throughout the day.Over seven hours later they were tired from their efforts but they and we were very pleased with the results. We wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Moving Company to you.read more

Mountain Moving was very responsive and helpful. We had to move a large, heavy gun safe out of our basement up challenging stairs. It was hard to find someone just to consider the job. Doug came over and figured out a way to do it with specialized... equipment and very strong workers they have.They were able to fit us into their busy schedule pretty quickly, so we could send the safe off to its next home. We really appreciated everything!read more

His team was flawless and fast on our moving day, finishing up the work early and under budget,. They also coordinated the efforts for the discarded items to the dump, eliminating extra hassles and time for our staff.

The workers moved a restored juke box filled with CD’s that couldn’t be jostled too much, or I would have spent hours re-organizing them. It was very heavy and awkward, yet two of them handled it no problem. It was moved between two residences smoothly.... Initially we were not sure if it would take three people to move it, so a third mover was there, but went unneeded. The good news was that they were honest and did not charge me for the third person. I would have paid, since he was on the premises, and they refused to charge me. THAT is why I will hire them again in the future should I need to. Honest, efficient, personable work...the way it should be.Joeread more

They unloaded my entire 26' truck (due to an injury I had) in only an hour.

Great experiences with Mtn Moving. I have used them twice - once when they were assigned to my military move from WA to HI, and a second time when I chose them for a move from one point in Tacoma to another.I can't comment on pricing for the first move... (paid for by military), but the second move's pricing was very fair. James (estimator) arrived as scheduled, provided a written estimate and tentatively scheduled a moving day. A 'what-to-expect on moving day' PDF was provided. He offered to provide boxes and packing materials, if needed.Movers (Todd, Tua, Fah) arrived on time on moving day. Walked thru, discussed basic plan and they got to work. Watched the guys move all items and they used standard equipment (carpeted dollies, pads, tie downs, etc). Everything was handled carefully and nothing was thrown or dropped. Load up time was less than estimated and very smooth. Unloading at the new house took even less time.All in all, an excellent experience. Simply put, the service provided was the service promised. I think prepping for moving day is 80-90% of what makes things go smoothly. We had everything boxed up, labeled, and staged by the doors of each room on moving day. Clothes taken out of closets and dressers and boxed up. Read thru the "what-to-expect" PDF and transported prohibited items ourselves before moving day (open chemical containers, alcohol, high value items). Everything you leave for the movers on moving day to deal with adds TIME. That, in turn, will increase your final cost, or torpedoes the whole move because of some showstopper.read more

My wife and I scheduled these guys to help us with our local move. We have used several local companies in the past and have never been happy with the result, hence why we kept trying someone new. These guys are my goto recommendation if you need... assistance moving. I called and reserved a team of 4 and two trucks about a week before our move. They let me know the price estimate and gave us the estimate time they would be there. They called to confirm the day prior and called the morning of to let us know they were on their way. The guys that showed up (Mark, Gabriel, Robert, Jesse) were polite and professional and knew what they were doing. We showed them what needed to go and they quickly got to work. They treated our stuff just like it was there own. They worked quickly and efficiently. Moving is always stressful, these guys made at least this part of it easy. Instead of shopping around for who may be the cheapest, save your self the hassle and call these guys to take care of your stuff.read more

Mountain Moving did a amazing job. They were there on time and working extremely hard to finish in a timely matter. Dalin
The first step in conducting a condo move is reaching out to at least three professional moving companies in the Tacoma area and requesting a free quote. Experienced condo movers typically schedule a walkthrough—either in person or virtually—to evaluate the size and complexity of your move before giving you a comprehensive estimate. Once you’ve selected your preferred mover, a relocation coordinator will give you an Order of Service document detailing your moving package and their associated costs. If your condo has specific requirements, such as reserving the elevator or providing proof of insurance, your movers can work with building management to ensure everything is handled ahead of time.
On the day of your move, a team of skilled movers will arrive at your condo with the necessary tools and equipment to protect not only your belongings but your condo as well. This includes utilizing best practices to safeguard the walls, floor, and elevators of your building. Once all of your belongings have been safely transported to your new residence, your movers will begin to unload everything. After all the moving tasks have been completed, a crew lead will provide you with a Bill of Lading to review. This receipt outlines your possessions and their condition, ensuring all the details match and that nothing is missing. With that, you can finally settle into your new condo!
At Mountain Moving and Storage, we offer optional packing and unpacking services, utilizing high-quality materials to safeguard your belongings during the moving process.
Building Coordination
Our team handles all coordination efforts with your condo management, including reserving elevators, providing insurance documentation, and adhering to specific building policies to ensure a seamless moving experience.
Secure Warehouse Storage
Don't have enough space in your condo for all your belongings? Don't worry. We offer secure short- and long-term warehouse storage solutions, giving you the additional space you need to safely store any of your prized possessions.
Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly
We offer furniture disassembly and reassembly services for condo moves, making it easier to navigate tight spaces like stairwells, hallways, and elevators.
What Experience Do Moving Companies in Tacoma Have with Condo Relocations?
Tacoma moving companies that have experience in condo relocations understand the unique challenges associated with these moves. Condos often have tight spaces, shared hallways, and strict building policies that require careful planning. “If you’re faced with steep stairs, narrow doors, or oddly-shaped spaces, hiring pros can protect your stuff (and your security deposit),”Move.org suggests. Movers with condo experience can navigate these issues efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to residents and avoiding damage to property. They also understand the importance of using the right equipment, such as furniture dollies and protective materials, to streamline the moving process in small or confined areas.
At Mountain Moving and Storage, we have extensive experience handling condo relocations in Tacoma. Our team is familiar with the challenges condos present, including navigating narrow hallways and complying with building policies. We use specialized equipment and detailed planning to ensure your move is smooth and stress-free. “We understand the complexity that comes with condo moves, which is why we prioritize timely coordination, working with you and your condo association to ensure a seamless transition,” says our General Manager, Shannon Webb.

Do Movers in Tacoma Coordinate with Building Management for Moving Policies and Scheduling?
Coordinating with building management is essential for a successful condo move. Many buildings have specific requirements, such as reserving elevators, providing certificates of insurance, or scheduling moves during designated hours. Professional movers ensure compliance by communicating directly with building management to arrange the necessary permissions and accommodations ahead of time.” Double-check your potential mover’s credentials,”Forbes advises, “This includes their U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number for interstate moves or state-specific licenses for local moves. This step is crucial in ensuring you’re hiring a legitimate company.” Reading the fine print and discussing these intricate details with your mover upfront will prevent any potential discourse with your condo association and give you additional peace of mind while conducting your move.
Mountain Moving and Storage takes care of all coordination with your building management in Tacoma. We handle everything from securing elevator reservations to providing the necessary insurance documentation, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. “Part of providing high-quality services includes making sure all the moving logistics are in order,” our General Manager, Shannon Webb, highlights, “which includes legal and financial coordination with any potential third parties.”
What Measures Do Moving Companies Take to Protect Floors, Walls, and Elevators During a Condo Move?
Protecting the property during a move is a top priority for any professional moving company. Condo movers typically use floor runners, corner guards, and padding to shield walls, floors, and elevators from damage. These protective measures are essential in preventing costly repairs or fines imposed by condo associations. Skilled movers also take care to securely pack and move furniture to minimize any accidental bumps or scratches. “From bubble wrap and boxes to packing tape and foam cushioning, your packers will bring the very best moving supplies and equipment to ensure all of your belongings are properly protected and boxed up securely,”Moving.com adds. By safeguarding your belongings, your condo movers can better protect your condo from enduring any scratches or damages.
Mountain Moving and Storage ensures the utmost protection of your condo and building during every move. Our team uses high-quality protective materials, including padded blankets and floor runners, to safeguard your property. “Our movers have been expertly trained on how to protect all different kinds of properties during a move,” mentions our General Manager, Shannon Webb.
Mountain Moving & Storage
Can Movers Handle Small or Tight Spaces, Like Stairwells or Shared Hallways Within a Condo?
Condo moves often involve maneuvering furniture through tight stairwells, shared hallways, or small elevators. Experienced condo movers often know how to “maneuver heavy items safely down a flight of stairs or through narrow doorways, and efficiently load a moving truck to make the most of the available space,”Forbes highlights. They rely on techniques such as disassembling furniture and using tools like straps and dollies to navigate narrow spaces. Their experience minimizes the risk of damage to walls, floors, or furniture.
At Mountain Moving and Storage, we excel in managing moves in tight and challenging spaces. Our team is experienced in carefully disassembling and reassembling furniture, ensuring even the bulkiest items make it safely to their next destination. “No space is too small for us to tackle,” notes our General Manager, Shannon Webb, “We have the necessary materials and skills to make sure every aspect of your condo move is expertly handled.”

What Are Tacoma Movers' Rates and Policies for Condo Moves That Involve Long Carry Distances or Restricted Parking?
Long carry distances or restricted parking can impact the cost and logistics of a condo move. Many moving companies charge additional fees for long carries, as these situations require more time and effort. “On a local move, you’re usually paying by the hour, so if the distance is longer than 75 feet, you’ll only pay for the extra time associated with covering that additional ground,”MoveBuddha notes. Movers also assess the parking situation in advance and may suggest solutions, such as temporary parking permits or the use of shuttle trucks, to minimize delays. Understanding the logistics of long carry moves is key to avoiding unexpected costs.
Mountain Moving and Storage offers transparent pricing and tailored solutions for condo moves in Tacoma, including those with long carries or parking challenges. We make sure all coordination efforts are in order for complex condo moves and inform you of any additional fees upfront. “We believe in giving our customers clear and honest pricing from the start,” says our General Manager, Shannon Webb. For more information on how to navigate long-carrying moving rates, feel free to fill out ourcontact form or call us at (253) 581-2414.

Do Moving Companies Offer Packing and Unpacking Services for Condo Moves, Especially for Fragile or Specialty Items?

These services save time and provide peace of mind, ensuring that your belongings are well-protected during transit and efficiently unpacked upon arrival.
