Sala and Tino were so polite, attentive and careful while moving our new gunsafe from their truck, up our staircase, and into the exact spot we wanted it to sit. We were impressed how they paid attention to every detail and, as a result, not a single scratch or dent was left behind. Our thanks to both of them for a job well done!
Response from the owner:Hi Patricia, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so pleased to hear that Sala and Tino delivered top-notch service. Their attention to detail and careful handling truly reflect the standards we strive for. We’ll make sure they hear your kind words—thanks again for trusting us!

We hired Mountain Movers a few weeks ago to move everything in our three bedroom home. Sala and the crew were efficient, on time, attentive to detail, very careful with our belongings, and finished the job ahead of the estimated time. Wonderful experience all around, we would highly recommend hiring Mountain Movers!
Response from the owner:Thank you Gloria for the 5 star review! We appreciate you!!

Preferred Movers Network Certified

The Preferred Movers Network is a professional organization that highlights independent moving companies that continuously uphold high-level moving industry standards. To be part of the Preferred Movers Network, a mover must prove they are professional, reliable, and committed to continuously delivering high-quality services. Unlike typical moving directories that allow most companies to join their network, Preferred Movers Network thoroughly vets each of its applicants before granting them certification. Only movers with a solid history of customer satisfaction and full compliance with industry regulations are approved.

Mountain Moving and Storage is proud to be a Preferred Movers Network-certified member. This certification ensures our customers that they’re being served by industry professionals who meet Preferred Movers Network’s rigorous guidelines. Since 1996, our team has executed many moves within the great state of Washington and across the country and world. Thanks to the experience and expertise of our dedicated movers, Mountain Moving and Storage continues to ensure that every move is professionally handled from start to finish.

What Is the Preferred Movers Network?

The Preferred Movers Network only accepts movers who put their customers and their services first. To earn Preferred Movers Network’s approval, moving companies must meet these key standards:

✅ Clear Pricing – Preferred Movers Network members must offer free and transparent estimates and prices, ensuring there are no hidden fees during the moving process.

✅ Thorough Background Checks – Every moving company and its staff must undergo thorough screening checks to ensure they meet all safety and professional moving standards.

✅ Fully Licensed & Insured – All members must be properly registered with the USDOT, hold all necessary state licenses, and have liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.

✅ Expert Full-Service Moving – From loading and transportation to packing, storage, and handling specialty items like antiques and pianos, Preferred Movers Network members must be fully capable of managing a variety of moves.

✅ Locally Owned & Operated – Members must be fully independent companies and aren’t attached to any large franchises or brokers that outsource their work.

✅ Residential & Commercial Moves – Whether you’re moving your home or a business, Preferred Movers Network members must equipped to handle both residential and commercial relocations.

Unlike online listings, Preferred Movers Network is committed to continuously evaluating these companies to ensure they adhere to these key standards.

How Does Preferred Movers Network Compare to Other Moving Certifications?

When it comes to assessing moving accreditation, one may ask, “How does Preferred Movers Network compare with its competitors?” Well, here’s your answer:

Below is a simple chart to compare Preferred Movers Network to other common accreditations:

Feature Preferred Movers Network (PMN) ProMover Certification (ATA) BBB Accreditation
Independent Movers Only ✅ Yes ❌ No (includes large chain companies) ❌ No (open to all businesses)
Ongoing Quality Checks ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No (no follow-up checks)
Mandatory Licensing & Insurance ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No (companies self-report)
Transparent Pricing Guarantee ✅ Yes ❌ No (no specific pricing requirements) ❌ No

 

Key Points to Note:

Key Takeaways:

  • Unlike organizations like ProMover, Preferred Movers Network exclusively certifies independently owned and operated moving companies. This means national brands like large van lines and franchises such as All My Sons or Two Men & A Truck are not included.
  • Both Preferred Movers Network and ProMover require proper licensing and insurance, but Preferred Movers Network goes further by ensuring each mover provides transparent prices and placing a strong emphasis on conducting continuous quality assessments.
  • While the Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation can be a great source for finding quality movers, the BBB does not perform ongoing evaluations and allows companies to self-report compliance matters rather than performing verification audits.
