Budget Movers

Movers arrived early (we received a call earlier to confirm that would work out OK for us first) and were nice and hard working. They finished the job faster than we expected (we have two full flights of stairs in our home!) and did a pretty excellent job. Only complaint was some light smudging on the backside of our couches; since our couches are already pretty worn, we were less irked than if they were immaculate and new. Seems the plastic covers came off in transport?
If you have very nice expensive pieces, I suggest trying a more expensive option. Budget movers were nicely priced and we felt that we definitely got what we paid for. Since we are still renters with leftover furniture from grad school days, we didn’t mind less than perfect handling of our things. They were fast and didn’t break anything. Exactly what we were looking for.

Very professional, friendly and efficient. Pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend calling them. I will definitely use them again for any future moves.

My boyfriend and I had an awesome experience with Budget movers today, we requested to have them for just two hours to help with the big stuff and Jon the owner and Dewy had it ALL finished in exactly two hours! It was crazy! They were by far the friendliest most attentive movers we have every dealt with and they get the job done well and fast! They have the most up beat attitudes and respect for not just us but all our furniture and needs. I will definitely be sticking with them in the future. I’m not one to write reviews but the outstanding service we received today definitely deserved some recognition! A big thank you again to Jon and Dewy all our furniture and belongings got to our new home safe and sound!

Jonathan, the owner, has it dialed in. He was extremely responsive and courteous throughout the entire process. I’ve moved a lot, in fact just a few weeks ago, and these guys are the most efficient and thorough dudes I’ve ever seen at work. Everything was padded and wrapped, and hauled into the truck and out of the truck with a speed and care and efficiency the likes of which I have truly never seen. They busted ass and got it done fast and even took extra steps to make sure my grandmas furniture was properly readjusted after moving a bunch of stuff out of her basement. These guys rule. Jon has a strong business plan, to kick ass and be known for it. Use ‘em.

Jonathan, the owner, is a very friendly and quick to respond. I used Unilocal to get a quote, and had one a minute later, I was very impressed. Ultimately his quote was the second lowest and I ended up choosing a different moving company, but I would certainly try Budget Movers again in the future.

We’ve been using professional movers for our last couple moves and by far and away Budget Movers was the best yet and the guys we’ll recommend to friends & family! Dewey, Mychal & Antonio did a fantastic job moving us into our new home, they were respectful of our things and fun to be around for the day. I even saw Dewy carrying like 5 bags of my wife’s Flight Attendant luggage — yep — put her to shame! LOL
Bottomline when you hire movers, you’re worried about your stuff, you’re worried about damage to your old place, tracking dirt into your new place, etc… BUT these guys were worried about all the same things! AND they were prepared — something your friend with a truck is not going to be, at least not my friends, no offense Jake & Devon. The boys from Budget brought out a red carpet, literally, and make sure they only walked on their carpets.
Even though the movers were awesome, the best part of this whole transaction was Heather who does their scheduling. She worked around our timeframe and even took steps to help us fit things into our budget.
All and all, this was a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend giving these guys a call, I know they’re based in Beaverton, but it was still affordable for us to use them and we’re in Troutdale! They really do serve the entire Portland Metro area!
Thanks Guys! I hope we never move again, but if we do, you’ll be our first call!

I have used Budget Movers twice in the past year. The first time Mychal and Kevin did an excellent job protecting our furniture and moved quickly and efficiently. They hustled up stairs and were in and out as fast as can be. We had a very tight corner in our hallway with a too large couch, but they were pros and were able to navigate all our stuff, no sweat.
I was so satisfied I called Budget Movers again when I needed to move eight months later. Mychal and Hector showed up and again they were smooth, efficient, and courteous. I am very satisfied with the care they took to protect our belongings and how quickly they were able to move everything.
They moved us into our new home and I don’t anticipate needing to move in the future. If I did, I would not hesitate to give these folks a call again.

Carlos, Primo, and Hector did a fantastic job moving my wife and I from a 2 bedroom 2 ½ bathroom apartment to a 3 bedroom 2 ½ bathroom house! They arrived right on time and were efficient. We did the initial walk through and before we even could get back downstairs they were already moving things into the truck! It took about an hour to load everything into the truck, including wrapping everything in blankets, saran wrap, and tape to protect our furniture. We have a cat that was in one of the bedrooms upstairs (that we had emptied out for the move) and Carlos and his team were very diligent about not opening the door to let our cat escape.
When we arrived at our new house, it was just as fast and efficient! We did the initial walk through (and again had a room with our cat in it) and they unloaded everything in about an hour as well. They even put out bed frame back together in the Master bedroom!
Carlos and his team were the best decision that we made for our move, as my wife is 8 months pregnant and wouldn’t have been able to help with the move. Also, we had some very heavy boxes that I couldn’t even carry that Carlos and his team lifted with ease!
If you are in need of movers in the Portland area, I would highly recommend Budget Movers. Jon (the owner) knows how to pick great employees that are professional, courteous, careful and efficient!

The movers were friendly and courteous. However, having moved so many times and hired so many different movers, my experience this time wasn’t the best. They took the longest time (more than twice the time compared to my last move with exact same amount of stuff) than any of the previous movers have and the stuff is no more than it was before. They left all the plastic wrap and such trash behind too. I have never had to clean up after movers before. Everything was labeled by the room and they still kept coming up to us asking where we want the stuff. We are trying to organize our stuff now and realized how much everything was messed up. Despite the labels, they have just kept whatever wherever they wanted. Now we have to move all the boxes to the right spot. It’s not fun to have to carry heavy boxes to the right spot after paying so much money to get it done by «professionals». We won’t be hiring them again and definitely not recommending them to anyone else.

Carlos Magana with Budget Movers rocks! The boys were very timely when showing up, and we’re ever so careful handing even the most awkward and heavy of items. They battled stairs, appliances, massive furniture items and kept a smile on while at it! Thank you for the great service, the friendly workers, and mostly for saving my back!

To be fair, I give Carlos and team 5 stars for protecting my furniture; however, for the overall move I give them 1 star due to poor execution/​efficiency. While Carlos and team did a good job protecting my furniture with coverings, it should be an optional thing and not mandatory for all furniture. First of, I was quoted ~$ 130/​hr for 3 movers (even though I requested for only 2 since it’s only a 1 bedroom with very few furniture: 1 bed, 1 loveseat and 1 chair, 1 small coffee table, 1 small dining table, 1 desk, 1 bed, 1 mirror and 7 boxes). Considering I’m moving from the 2^nd floor of an apartment building to the 6^th floor of an adjacent building, the overall move definitely could’ve gone faster with some tweaks: use a smaller truck equivalent to a 1 bedroom U-​Haul truck since the truck used was overkill (using a smaller truck wouldn’t have required an additional time ~20 mins to get out of the first apartment’s parking lot), and not covering all furniture (at least make it optional for some since covering the furniture required additional time and was totally unnecessary for most of my furniture… we are talking about cheap IKEA tables!!!).
I’m disappointed because I paid beyond what I estimated would be no longer than an hours worth of work (1.5 hrs tops yet it took ~2.5 hrs) considering I really didn’t have a lot to move and the distance between apartments is negligible (it probably would’ve been faster moving fur tithe directly between buildings instead of loading and unloading from the huge truck they brought). Other than paying $ 322 + $ 40 tip (I don’t want to be a dick), the move itself was hassle free… but if you’re on a budget, I recommend the guys I went with during my last move at half the rate (Able Movers).
To put it in perspective. When compared to the Able Movers I used last year… I was moving about 3.5 miles from the two apartments and it was only 2 guys… I moved even more stuff than I did today… yet those guys finished everything within ~1.5 hrs… and they still charged me no more than an hours worth… really professional and efficient… they even bubble wrapped the furniture that glass and could potentially break but they asked me if I needed additional protection for the cheaper furniture.

Yesterday, I was in need of movers in less than 24 hour notice and they were able to get me set up for today so that was amazing. Carlos and Kevin were on time and got right to work. We had moved most of our belongings prior but had large furniture left behind that would result in us losing friends if we made them move it. I originally felt that our move would take about 2.5 hours but I underestimated the time it takes to breakdown beds, tables, TV station, hanging shelves, etc… And about an hour in, having only two guys who had to walk up 3flights of stairs, I realized it would be closer to double the time for loading and unloading and reassembling. Mistake was all mine. So I encourage people to take some of these things into account when moving.
Yes, I spent double + a good tip (don’t be cheap with the help) more than what I was expecting but I got great service, competitive rates, and I didn’t have to lift a thing, assemble, or lose friends!
Overall, this place was exactly what I needed, when I needed it, and at the end of the day these people are not machines, they are human beings doing some major labor work and they do what most can’t so just sit back and relax!!! Thank you Heather for setting me up and thank you Carlos and Kevin for helping me move!!!

The movers were very friendly and efficient. Three movers were able to get us moved from our second floor apartment to our house in about three hours. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, fast, and friendly moving company.

Carlos and his guys did an amazing job. I am thoroughly impressed by their hard work and the determination to get things done fast and right. I would recommend these movers to anyone.

Thank you Carlos and Kevin you men are amazing. I highly recommend Budget Movers

Budget Movers was the third company I called trying to schedule a move from Beaverton to Vancouver. I was impressed when they showed up early, and thinking all my stuff would not fit in one truck, went back to their shop and brought back two. They were efficient and all of my belongings made it safely to my new place. I’d recommend them to anyone! Thanks to my movers, Fabian and Thomas.

I needed to move a few items down to my sister’s house. My father passed last month and I’ve been trying to manage shifting belongings and helping my mother get her house in order again. I had called a few other places to try and schedule a moving of the stuff. Since my sister works all week and until 5, I was struggling to find movers to deliver during the week that late and if they worked weekends their rates went up. Ugh. Not real helpful to a normal persons schedule.
Enter BudgetMovers. Not only were they more reasonable than everyone else I called, they worked weekends too! Perfect.
Met the guys first thing in the morning, they were friendly, professional and equipped with all they needed. Handled everything with care. After a misunderstanding at the outset, the owner went out of his way to make all things right.
They completed everything in a fast, but careful manner and I couldn’t be more happy with the owner and his crew. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again and you should not hesitate to hire them. Do it now, don’t even bother with the other companies, you won’t find a better one out there.

I called Budget Movers and one guy came to my house and did a free estimation. He said the rate for 3 movers + truch will be ~$ 129 per hour. I asked if there’s any other fees, and he said everything was included. He also mentioned they would bring 5 wardrobe boxes for free but they will take them back after moving.
On the day of moving, three guys showed up on time. And at least two of them worked really hard. Everything was good until the time to pay. I was charged $ 75 extra for Wraps and Tapes. The guy was going to charge me for the wardrobe boxes too, but took them off the bill after I argued.
Anyway I have no much compliant for the workers as they worked hard. I paid $ 60 tips, but still not happy with the $ 75 of extra charges, as I was told $ 129 includes everything…

Hands down, worth every penny! I was hesitant to hire movers, insisting I could do it myself, but these guys made it easy.
I figured they’d be tired after two moves earlier in the day before us, but I arrived home from work on a Friday night, and my wife had them started. From a distance I could see they were hustling. Each box put in the truck like a glove, and even saw them running.
The truck was packed quickly, and tight, like a science. I was really impressed with how they fit everything to prevent damage, and took care to set it up nicely when they put it in the new house.
They shared in the excitement of our new home, and treated the whole situation like they were life long friends, who really cared for us.
Steep straits and heavy items, they muscled with speed and ease, with an extremely positive attitude.
All 3 gentleman were top notch and friendly. They were very kind to our 3 year old, who thought she was helping, but really getting in the way. They are welcome in my home any time.
I am literally blown away with these guys. If your looking thru the taunting task of moving, and struggling to find a company you can trust (like we were) these are your guys!!! Hands down, the most impressed, I have ever been with any service I have ever hired.

PROS:
–Guys were friendly
–good customer service
–clean and efficient
CONS:
–showed up late
–took longer than expected
Overall we do not blame them for the crappy day that occurred on moving day. Jonathon promised they will make up for it on the next move which will be in the next few months. I know that situations come up and considering they moved us from one 3 level townhome to another 3 level townhome, we were pleased.
