Apartment moving comes with challenges a standard house move never does — tight stairwells, elevator reservations, narrow doorways, strict building move-in windows, and property managers who require a certificate of insurance before a crew can set foot in the lobby. At Cal’s Moving & Storage, apartment moves are one of the things we do best. We have completed thousands of them across Oregon, and our crews know how to get you in and out smoothly, on schedule, and without damage to the unit or your deposit.

Whether you are moving into your first studio, upgrading to a larger unit, relocating between buildings, or downsizing from a family home into an apartment, our team handles every detail with the same care we would give our own family. No hidden fees, no surprise charges — just a straightforward, professional apartment move backed by a 4.9-star rating across more than 2,300 reviews.

Cal’s Moving & Storage provides full-service and labor-only apartment moving throughout Oregon. From our branches in Tigard, Beaverton, Corvallis, and Eugene, we serve the entire Willamette Valley, the Portland metro area, and communities statewide. Every apartment move includes professional protection equipment — furniture pads, floor runners, door-frame protectors, and custom dollies — so both your belongings and the building stay safe.

Choose the level of help that fits your move and budget: full-service moving where we handle everything from packing to placement, or labor-only loading and unloading if you have your own truck or container.

Types of Apartment Moves We Handle

Studio & One-Bedroom Apartments

Smaller moves still deserve professional care. Our crews complete most studio and one-bedroom apartment moves in a few hours, with flexible scheduling that works around your lease dates.

Large Apartments & Condos

Two-, three-, and four-bedroom units, lofts, and condominiums get a full crew, careful furniture disassembly and reassembly, and a clear plan to keep move day on track.

High-Rise & Elevator Buildings

Elevator moves require timing and coordination. We work within reserved elevator windows, protect cab walls and floors, and stage your belongings so the move stays efficient from curb to unit.

Walk-Up & Stair-Access Apartments

Third-floor walk-up with no elevator? Our crews are trained and equipped for stair-heavy moves, with the manpower to do it safely instead of rushing.

Student & College Apartments

Move-in and move-out near Oregon’s university towns gets busy fast. Our college moving service offers affordable rates and scheduling built around the academic calendar.

Senior Apartment & Downsizing Moves

Transitioning into an apartment or senior community takes patience and compassion. Our senior moving specialists work at your pace and handle treasured belongings with the respect they deserve.

What Makes Apartment Moves Different

Experience with the details below is what separates a smooth apartment move from a stressful one:

Certificates of Insurance (COI)

Most apartment complexes and high-rises require a certificate of insurance naming the property before move day. Cal’s Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured, and we provide COIs to your property manager quickly so nothing holds up your move.

Elevator Reservations & Move-In Windows

Many buildings allow moves only during set hours and require the freight elevator to be reserved. We plan around those windows and confirm the details ahead of time so your crew arrives ready to work.

Parking & Loading Zones

Tight complexes and downtown buildings rarely have easy truck access. Our drivers know how to position the truck for the shortest, safest carry and handle loading-zone permits where needed.

Stairs, Hallways & Narrow Doorways

Corners, low ceilings, and narrow doors are routine for our crews. We measure, disassemble what needs disassembling, and protect every surface along the path.

How Much Does an Apartment Move Cost?

Apartment moving costs depend on the size of your unit, the floor and access (elevator vs. stairs), the distance, and the services you choose. Local apartment moves are typically billed at an hourly rate for a two- or three-person crew, while longer-distance moves are quoted based on weight and mileage. We provide free, transparent quotes with no hidden fees — request your free apartment moving quote and we will walk you through the details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide a certificate of insurance for my apartment building?

Yes. We are fully licensed and insured and routinely provide certificates of insurance to property managers. Send us your building’s requirements when you book and we will take care of it before move day.

How far in advance should I book my apartment move?

We recommend booking two to four weeks ahead, especially during the busy summer season and around the first and last days of the month. Shorter-notice and same-week moves are often possible — contact us to check availability.

Can you move me on a tight building time window?

Absolutely. We plan around reserved elevator times and building move-in windows. Share the details and we will schedule the crew to work efficiently within them.

Do you handle third-floor walk-ups with no elevator?

Yes. Stair-access moves are routine for our crews. We bring the manpower and equipment to do them safely rather than rushing.

Can you help with just loading or unloading?

Yes. If you have your own truck, U-Haul, or moving container, our labor-only crews can handle the loading, unloading, or both.
