My nonprofit organization recently worked with Doug's moving crew to coordinate the move-out of our building and into storage while we right size to a better office. Doug was helpful in answering questions, following up on needed information, and... responding to our concerns quickly and professionally. 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. We have also worked with Shannon in the business office to take of billing, and those interactions have been helpful, courteous and professionally managed as well. We are so grateful for the excellent work ethic and follow through from everyone at Mountain Moving & Storage, and we look forward to working with them again.read more

Excellent move from beginning to end. I’ve worked professionally with Mountain for over 20 years and was always impressed with their low claims ratio. This was the first time I got to experience it personally. The crew was outstanding and the packing was... superb. We didn’t have a single damaged item in our move. We are upper happy and impressed. If you want or need a flawless move, please do not hesitate to contact Mountain to have the job done right.read more

Great experience. Professional, did not cut corners. Had another local company cancel on me the day of my planned move and had already received a quote from Mountain Movers prior to the other company’s cancellation. Called them and asked if they could... move me ASAP and they were there the next morning. No nonsense, rapid move, never had to redirect their movers back on task. Highest recommend!read more

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

My husband and I would like to thank Ed and his crew for the wonderful job they did moving our 10x10 shed today. We feel it was a very good price for the service. Though it was a lot of hard work they put in and maneuvering around they had to do, they... maintained great attitudes and were friendly. They work very well together. We also want to thank Doug for his timely responses to us through e-mail. We will definitely recommend Mountain Moving and Storage to others who may need a building moved or moving in general. We are sure your quality of service would be the same. Thank youRichard and Elaine Maceread more

The gentleman I talked to on the phone to arrange a move didn't seem to have a good handle on what was going on. Had to call 4 times to check on my delivery because he wasn't sure where his crew was or when they had an opening. The moving crew was... phenomenal. They unloaded my entire 26' truck (due to an injury I had) in only an hour. No broken items and they were more than willing to be gentle with the more delicate items and even moved things into the rooms I asked for to ease the hassle of doing it myself. Great job guys I'm impressed.read more

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

We just wrapped up the first part of our military move, and Mountain Moving did a fantastic job! We have completed several moves over the last 5 years, and they have been the best company we've dealt with, no competition. Max and Dontae arrived on time... for the first day and got straight to work, packing up over half of our stuff (we have a lot of junk) in one day. The next day, they had an additional 2 people to help (Will and Gabe) and they completed everything by 2pm. Less than 2 days to pack up a 4 bedroom, 2-story home! They were friendly, professional, and efficient, and we would recommend them to all of friends as they prepare for their next PCS.read more

How Much Do Local Moving Services Cost?

The cost of local moving services varies since pricing is based on a variety of factors, such as distance between the current and new locations, amount of items that need to move, and more. For the most accurate estimate, a complete home survey is necessary as it takes into account the size and weight of items, packing requirements, and any additional services you require. If a company doesn’t do an in-depth survey, that is a red flag as they won’t be able to accurately gauge the pricing correctly. This may leave you with hidden fees and unpleasant surprises when you get the bill.

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we offer in-home and virtual surveys to provide accurate estimates for our customers without any hidden fees. This comprehensive survey evaluates all items, ensuring a thorough and accurate pricing structure. We believe in providing estimates based on a complete understanding of your moving needs, not vague over-the-phone guesses.

How Quickly Can a Moving Company Complete My Move?

Most moving companies are pretty efficient with local moves as long as they have a team of experienced movers on the job. The timeframe for your move depends on various factors, such as the size of the move, the distance, and specific requirements. In terms of scheduling, moving companies usually only need one or two weeks of advance notice, as long as it’s not a busy season, to prepare for your move.

 

Our Mountain Moving & Storage team prides itself on efficient and timely services. We strive to work within your schedule to ensure minimal disruption to your routine, but please contact us as soon as possible, as our schedule can fill up, especially in the summer months.

Mountain Moving & Storage

How Can I Tell if a Moving Company Is Licensed and Insured?

In order to legally offer and execute local moves, each moving company needs to acquire a state license from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC). Long-Distance moves are also thoroughly regulated, so they require the moving company to secure a United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) license. All reliable moving companies should have a minimum of these two licenses and list them either in the header or footer of their website so they are easy to find. For your physical and financial protection, do not choose an unlicensed moving company as your Tacoma local mover.

As all moving companies should be, Mountain Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured. In order to protect our clients and our team, we have general liability and worker’s compensation insurance. Our WUTC license number is CC57070, and our USDOT number is 885643. With Mountain Moving & Storage, you can move confidently, knowing that your belongings are in the safe hands of professionals.

Mountain Moving & Storage

Where Can I Read Reviews and Rating From a Moving Company’s Past Customers?

It is essential to find a quality moving company in Tacoma that is highly recommended by prior customer reviews. Look for moving companies that have reviews on a third-party site, such as Google Reviews or Yelp, to ensure the reviews are as unbiased as possible. You also want to make sure the company has at least 4.5/5 stars as an overall rating so you know you are getting the best of the best. The number of reviews is also important, as the more reviews the moving company has, the more reliable its overall rating becomes.

Mountain Moving & Storage is proud to have consistently high ratings, recommendations, and positive reviews from our past customers. With over 130 Google reviews, our commitment to delivering exceptional service is evident in the feedback from our satisfied clients. We encourage you to read our Google Reviews to see what our clients say about their experiences moving with us.

Do Local Moving Companies Offer Any Guarantees?

Local moving companies guarantee the safe transport of your belongings to your new location. Moving Companies are required by law to offer Limited Liability Coverage, meaning the moving company must compensate you 60 cents per pound for lost and damaged items.

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we offer guaranteed pricing, so you will not get any unpleasant surprises when you get your bill. We believe in full transparency with no hidden fees, ensuring that our customers clearly understand the costs associated with their move.

Mountain Moving & Storage

If Items Are Lost or Damaged During the Move, How Do You Handle It?

Most moving companies do everything they can to protect your belongings; however, all moving companies are required by law to offer Limited Liability Coverage, at no additional cost, for anything that is broken or lost during the move. This plan compensates you 60 cents per pound on each item that is lost or damaged. If you want more coverage, most moving companies offer other valuation plans at an additional cost.

For greater protection, many moving companies offer Full Value Protection Coverage. Under this plan, if an item is lost or damaged during the move, the moving company will either repair it, replace it, or offer a cash settlement for the cost of the repair or the current market replacement value.

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we take utmost care to prevent any damage or loss during the move. However, we offer Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection as moving valuation options. Therefore, if such an unfortunate event occurs, you will be covered exactly how you want to be.

Can You Accommodate The Moving Date to My Schedule?

Almost all moving companies will do their best to work with your moving timeline. However, calendars can fill up fast, especially during the summer, so make sure you contact your moving company at least a week or two in advance to get on the calendar.

At Mountain Moving & Storage, we understand that moving can be stressful and that flexibility is crucial. We offer weekend availability to accommodate your preferred moving date and time to the best of our ability. We recommend getting on our schedule sooner rather than later, as you’ll be more likely to secure your preferred moving time.
