Great company, highly recommend.. They were able to come over within a day or two of my request, came right on time, and were super polite and careful with things. Worked really hard and efficiently. And great pricing as well! read more

August movers are fabulous! They packed my household into a pod with great thought & care. I have a great deal of art & odd breakable items such as an electric fireplace with a glass front. They packed it all with an eye for keeping it all safe & arriving intact. To top it off their rate was exceptionally reasonable for the quality provided. I was very impressed. read more

Randall's service is fantastic. GREAT communication. Excellent flexibility and pleasant attitude. He and his other mover were on time, worked efficiently, were kind, and treated my belongings with care. They also provided moving services for a family member earlier this year. I highly recommend them to anyone with local moving needs in the Portland area. Thanks Randall! read more

This is More than 2 guys and a truck. This is 2 guys w skills to pack and do an AMAZING job at it. We had a 15' truck scheduled w UHAUL but found out they only had 10' left. got a huge discount and worried we would need to make 2 trips but Randall and his guy were able to NICELY and PERFECTLY pack out 10' to the rim. It took a bit of adjusting what to put were but He clearly has done this a few times. AND w such wonderful attitude. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. YOU will be happy w their work. I would give them 6 stars if i could. read more

I recommend them whenever someone in Portland is moving. Efficient, timely, courteous, and champions at packing a truck or storage unit. I've used them two times, in both cases I hired a two person crew. You supply the truck and they will load and unload it with ease and care. They were recommended to me by several good friends. Competitively priced. Make sure to book early to get the date and time you need. read more

We have had Randall and his crew help us many times as we moved from our longtime family home into our new home. He is easy to work with, efficient, and well-priced. They are my "go-to" for moving things around inside my home and for loading trucks and pods. He's on my list of key homeowner's resources. read more

My wife and I contacted Randall after several friends recommended August Movers based on their own recent experience. Randall kept in touch up until the big day and Dan and Amy showed up promptly, as promised, and got right to work on hauling our furniture and appliances and other bulky items out to the 26' truck we had rented. Both are very hard workers and I could hardly get them to stop long enough to take a short break and get a drink and something to eat! Amy is a super woman. She carried stuff that made my back ache just watching her. I have never seen any man work harder than she did that day. The way she and Dan strategically filled the truck was quite impressive, too. Not one thing was damaged and the extra care and thoughtfulness were greatly appreciated. We were asked where we wanted stuff placed at the new house, and they did exactly what we asked even re-assembling bed frames for us. Besides all this, they are both very personable and funny. I would definitely recommend August Movers to anyone! read more

I had a great experience with August Movers--they were quick, helpful, and reliable. Randall was great to schedule with--very communicative, and had great follow up. I appreciated that the movers were extremely knowledgeable on how to pack the truck as full as possible, and they were happy to help assemble things if I wanted the assistance. They followed directions well, and I would definitely hire them again for my next move (which hopefully won't be for a long time). read more

August Movers is the best! Fast, friendly, professional and affordable. We used them to unload our truck when me moved here in 2015 and would use them again. read more

Ok weirdest conversation ever. I had left a message about help to unload a U-haul truck. They Called back promptly BUT when I asked if they bring materials to protect wood floors he acted like he never heard or thought about investing some money to protect his customers home. He also said unless absolutely necessary they don't bring boxes in with a appliance dolly. So they aren't expensive when you consider hourly rate but considering they carry each box in boy are you going to get a huge bill later. Why In the world does this company risk customers homes and their own backs because they are to cheap to invest a few bucks into floor protection? Better companies out there people with your protection in mind read more

I highly recommend the August Movers! In a nutshell they were professional, considerate, capable, skilled, friendly and efficient - and I thought their rates were very reasonable. We had the team come and move our couch to our garage and move our basement items to another room in preparation for some repairs. SO happy with this move! Our couch was large and heavy and I was concerned about how it could be removed without damaging the house and our porch. They have a 2-hour minimum so we had them help us clear some large items from our basement as well. Randall and Amy were extremely careful and thoughtful (e.g., they moved the inside items first to avoid going outside and dirtying our floors). They made sure everything was placed correctly and even didn't mind our overly friendly dog who wanted to "help." Their professional and calm demeanor put me at ease - they moved swiftly but I never felt we were being rushed. Overall a really excellent experience, and we would use them again for sure! read more

Randall and his helper Jay were both excellent. Communication before and during our POD load was very good and they worked for a solid three hours. Great value. We highly recommend! read more

I flew to Virginia to meet up with my son, who had already loaded up a 26' rental truck. We then started our long trek to Hillsboro, Oregon. We broke down a couple of times so we were running behind schedule and extremely exhausted. I called August Movers from Rock Springs Wyoming and set up a time for them to meet us the next day in Hillsboro. The next day at the scheduled time, the workers showed up and were started unloading immediately. It had started to rain and they did everything they could to protect my son's belongings. They finished the truck in about 1.5 hours. They worked hard, were very pleasant, and friendly. I paid the workers the 2 hour minimum but they continued to offer to help since they emptied the truck so quick. I informed them that we were good and thanked them for their help and they subsequently left. About 20 minutes later, I went out to the rental truck to clean it up, when I noticed they had swept out the truck and folded all the blankets. This was after they had already been paid. We were extremely pleased with their service and I highly recommend them! read more

This is the second time I have used August Movers. They were professional, considerate, capable, skilled, and efficient. They are also really just nice. Randall was easy to schedule a date with and had great follow up. read more

I've now used August Movers for a third time, this past weekend and they exceeded themselves once more. Randall, Amy and the rest of the crew (we used four movers) were prompt, professional, careful, very reasonably priced, FAST, and just great! We moved a four-bedroom house with a 24' U-Haul, and they managed to fully load the truck, unload it *and* go back for a smaller, second load, in UNDER SIX HOURS! Randall is a "load whisperer," a wizard, or something. I watched the crew carry stuff out of the house, and every time I looked in the truck, there was still room. They were efficient, friendly (even joking with my 20-month old son), and careful with everything. Amy is a sweetheart, supportive, and STRONG. They made the move easy, happily working with our requests when we wanted some things put different places, and did just a phenomenal job. They made what should have been a stressful (and could have been a nightmare) day as much a pleasure as it could possibly have been. If you are doing a local move, call August Movers. End of story. It's much less expensive to rent and drive your own truck. Randall, Amy and the crew are exceptional! read more

Why are you still reading all these reviews? Don't hesitate to book August Movers right now. I could write a very long review full of praises for Amy and Randall, but to get my point across quickly, I will boil it down to my top three reasons to hire them. 1- These are experienced movers. They know what they're doing and how to protect your stuff. Amy and Randall aren't college students looking for a summer job--They're legit. Not to mention they seem to have an endless amount of energy and strength and were still working hard and quickly past the 5th hour (!) of moving me across town. 2- Their rates are very reasonable. Even though I had to rent/drive my own truck, I ended up saving a couple of hundred dollars than what I would have spent at some of the other moving companies I looked at. 3- They're nice, Portland-y people. My cat even liked them, and he is scared of everyone/thing. read more

August Movers - Moving day! - Movers Near Me

Timely, tireless and efficient. Randall and Jay worked hard to pack my POD. Carried furniture carefully, charged a reasonable rate and got the work done. I highly recommend their business if you need things moved to or from a storage or moving truck. I would definitely hire again and will tell my friends. Fast, friendly and affordable. read more

HIRE THEM! We had a very good experience with them and will hire them again this month. These guys are super nice, very quick, hard workers and for a very good price. read more

Disclaimer: We hired August Movers a few years ago. They may have new staff at this point, they may not. One man's name was Randall, who was great to work with. The other guy was the hasty one, and I don't remember his name. Sometimes Randall had to correct/over-direct the other guy when loading/unloading the truck. Maybe he was new? They were definitely moving along fast (to not milk the hourly rate), which I appreciated. Too many moving companies with an hourly rate will drag their feet and move too slowly. But I think they were a bit too hasty: they dented our dining table. Probably the piece of furniture we are most sad about damaging. It's a pretty big gouge right on the table top. They acknowledged it and apologized, but didn't offer any sort of compensation. They also scratched the floors of our new house when moving the couch in. Granted, it was very heavy and bulky. We only noticed this after they left. I just felt that we should have had a better experience with a 5-star rated company. I'm tempted to leave 1 star, because that more accurately represents our experience due to the unrepairable dent on our table and deep scratches on the floor. However, I'd hate to damage the reputation of a local business by a one-off experience. read more

I don't often give 5 stars so when I do, you can bet it was for superior service or excellent value. In the case of August Movers, it was both. I had originally planned on using another moving company but was having problems reaching them. By the time I finally heard about Randall and Amy I was worried that they would be completely booked. Fortunately Randall called me back the same day and we were able to schedule the move on the exact date I was hoping for. We discussed the number of hours needed, the price, what they provide, etc. Very, very informative. The day before the move, I got a text reminding me they were coming. They arrived right on time and after a quick tour and explanation of what was going into the POD, they took a moment to cuddle up with my kitty and then immediately went to work. I have always been proud of being a strong woman but watching Amy work...well, my jaw was on the ground several times. She took charge of moving almost everything from the house, down 3 steps, across the yard and to the POD while Randall worked his Tetris magic packing it as full as possible. It was quite shocking how much we were able to get inside the thing. They had that entire POD packed in exactly 3 hours! I am so thankful I wasn't able to reach the original movers I was going to use and discovered August Movers instead. I will definitely be calling them back when I have to unload that POD. read more

I needed two pianos moved--one from my sister's house to mine across Portland, and the other one just into my garage. After a tiny bit of phone tag, I found that it was much easier to reach Randall by text. Once we began texting, things moved quickly. They were able to fit me in with about two days' notice. They arrived right on time and quickly did exactly the job they said they'd do. I'm absolutely amazed by their physical strength--Randall and Amy are ridiculously strong! They made quick work of the whole job, and it could not have gone smoother. The only disadvantage was having to get a UHaul truck myself since they don't have a truck, but I was happy to do that since I'm sure it's what helps keep the costs down. I will DEFINITELY hire Randall and Amy again. read more

We used August Movers recently to help with our move. For a small place we had a fairly large amount of furniture to get moved. Our movers Randall and Amy were terrific. They showed up on time and worked extremely hard for five hours to get everything moved. Both had a pleasant attitude and smiles that made moving a bit less stressful. I would definitely use August Movers again and will recommend to anyone I know who is moving. read more

These guys (which I use in a non-gender-specific way) are awesome. Prompt, prepared, capable, careful, efficient--they managed to load a truck at one location, and unload it at multiple locations, and move a bunch of stuff around (which they were asked to do--they weren't just doing stuff at random) all within 2 hours. I will call them the next time I move which, ugh, I hope is not for a long time. read more

So we found ourselves in a bind; we purchased a large, bulky, item that didn't work out and needed to be returned. It didn't fit in neither of our cars and if it did we didn't look forward to lifting, loading and unloading. We requested a bid from several movers via Yelp. Randall from August Movers reached out quickly and saved the day. Same day service, punctual, efficient, problem solved. I would not hesitate to use again or recommend! read more

Randall and Amy were a-mazing! They made our entire move possible. We had two relo-cubes for our move and were very much behind schedule when they arrived. In short time they swooped in and saved the day. Both cubes were packed flawlessly and with great care. We soon ran out of room and had to order a third cube, but they couldn't deliver until the next day (when we were already going to be gone). Randall and Amy came back the next day and took care of packing the entire third pod on their own, and even removed the kayak rack from the wall for me. We put a lot of trust in them to take care of things while we were already a day's drive away and they did not disappoint. The third cube arrived perfectly packed and they had even disassembled furniture in such a way that it was easy to find the hardware, etc. Talk about life savers! They truly care about what they do, and have a fantastic helpful attitude. This move was highly stressful for us, and they provided us with the good cheer and muscle that helped us get through. Couldn't possibly recommend them highly enough. read more

These are some of the best movers I have dealt with. Arrived on time and went above and beyond helping me remove some wooden pieces from the bottom of my vintage sofa so they didn't scratch my floors. They unloaded 2 of my Relocubes, arranged my furniture and took those pieces off all in the 2 hours allotted. The next time I move I will only use them. read more

Last month we moved from New Hampshire to Vancouver, WA. We rented a 26' Penske truck and drove ourselves across the country. We decided to hire movers to help us unload the truck on this end; to minimize the time we disrupted our neighbors, and because we knew we'd be exhausted from the journey. They showed up on time, immediately introduced themselves, and got to work. The entire truck was unloaded in less than two hours. AND they arranged our furniture so we wouldn't have to move it again. Their attention to detail was impeccable... not a single ding in the walls despite carrying large furniture up a narrow staircase to the second floor bedrooms. (Had we done it ourselves, there would have been many dings, I'm sure.) Honestly, they were some of the nicest people I've ever met and their prices were beyond reasonable. The next time we move, they will be the first and only people we call (and the only movers we recommend to friends). read more

Wonderful people, fast and efficient and careful movers. This was seriously one of the best movers we've ever used. We rented the u-haul and towed it here. They were kind enough to wait since we were about 10 minutes late because of traffic. They went right to work as soon as we arrived. Very careful with fragiles and knowledgeable about how to maneuver around tight corners and staircases. Will Definately use again!! read more

These guys are the best! Randall is super quick to respond and helpful. J & T were his additional help for our move and they were fantastic. All three guys were nice, quick and on top of everything. We had an issue where our desk wouldn't fit through the door so the took off the door, worked their magic and installed the door again. We will definitely be using their services again. Oh and the prices are very reasonable! Thanks guys!! read more

Hi we had a great move with August Movers twice they're efficient courteous and nice to work with John Devoll-Donaldson

They were on time (a few minutes early actually! :-), efficient and courteous, and took extra care with my fragile items. Good guys!

I hired August Movers to load a U-Haul for my move out of state and it was the best decision I've made this month. They were: -on time -professional -fast -careful -affordable! It was soooo nice have the U-Haul loaded for me while my wife and I cleaned the apartment, and still feel refreshed and ready for an 8 hour drive once everything was on the truck. If I was staying in Portland, I'd use them for all my moves. read more

August Movers were extremely professional, and considerate of our belongings. We were in and out of our place in a short period and they were able to fit so much into the moving truck. If you are looking for caring, friendly, hard-working folks, go with August Movers! read more

50+ reviews and 100% five-star ratings. What other business can say that on yelp? Sadly I don't have time to write a lengthy review, but think it is fair to say that all the reasons they have earned five stars from EVERY OTHER reviewer hold true for me - affordable, professional, kind, and a calming presence -- I can't underscore the value of all these qualities during the stress of moving 'stuff'. Randall, Amy, and Jay are the folks you want to have around when managing a move of any kind. You won't regret it. read more

They were on time efficient and nice to work with. My very heavy perfect table was moved with no scratches to the table, walls or the stair's handrail. read more

We needed to move all our furniture into a POD before refinishing our hardwoods. August Movers was great to work with -- good communicators, prompt, efficient, friendly! We will use them again to move the furniture back in. Huge thumbs up! read more

This is the bestest movers ever! They were so very helpful in this time of struggle. Golly, moving is horrible. They made it so very easy. BUT the main reason for writing this review is the comments from the movers who unloaded us at the end of our trip. They wanted to know who loaded it because they have NEVER seen a truck packed so perfectly. This made it much easier for them & quicker. Besides that, they are the nicest people & lucky for them that we moved cuz they would have been our friends whether they liked it or not. Simply stated: they are wonderful people. read more

Randall at August Movers was awesome! He came hefted my giant furniture like it was nothing and made sure it would be safe in the truck to move to Seattle. The rate was fantastic and I was more than happy with their job. If I had had to move everything myself it would have taken all day, but they emptied my apartment in less than two hours! I highly recommend that you hire them for your move. I am a little sad we are moving out of state and won't be able to hire them for future moves. read more

CALL AUGUST MOVERS! You will NOT be sorry. Amazing moving team at an extremely reasonable price! Friendly, efficient, & gentle with your belongings. I have had my household moved "professionally" 4 times before. Even the best of those other companies never came close to matching the true professionalism and kindness of August Movers! read more

Stellar movers!! They were able to pack the U-haul like a pro (because they are pros!) We hired them for a couple of hours to move our most heaviest items downstairs at our old place and upstairs at our new place. Not a single item was scratched or dented. They were efficient, respectful, and strong. We couldn't be happier with the job they did! read more
