Residential & House Movers in Tacoma, WA

North Tacoma craftsman or a Lakewood rambler, the routine holds: blankets on the corners, floor runners at both ends, and furniture set back in place before we roll out.

One written number, no walkthrough required.

Free, no obligation. Your details stay in our Tacoma office — we never sell or share them.

A residential move is the whole household, not a truckload of miscellaneous furniture — and Tacoma’s housing stock makes that literal. A North Tacoma craftsman with a narrow staircase and original built-ins moves differently than a single-story Lakewood rambler with a wide garage and no steps at all. We walk the property (in person or by video) before quoting so the crew shows up sized right the first time.

Full-service means we load, transport, and unload — furniture gets wrapped and padded whether it’s traveling three miles or three hundred. Beds, dining tables, and sectional sofas get broken down and rebuilt at the new address as part of the job, not an upcharge you find out about at checkout.

  • Walkthrough and written quote before moving day
  • Furniture blankets, shrink wrap, and floor/doorway protection
  • Bed, table, and shelving disassembly and reassembly
  • Basement, attic, and garage cleanouts included in the estimate
Service Included
Furniture protection Yes, standard
Appliance disconnect (fridge, washer) Basic disconnect only, not plumbing/gas work
Full packing Add-on — see full-pack page

We don’t do plumbing or gas-line disconnects for major appliances — that stays with a licensed contractor, and we’ll tell you that up front rather than let it become a surprise on move day. If you’re in a high-rise instead of a house, our apartment moving page fits better. Comparing what a full house actually costs?

Have used MoveOn twice now. Once for junk removal and another time when moving. They were amazing both times and I highly recommend them. Prompt, friendly and professional. They took care to do the job right and made sure everything was done the way I needed.

Trevor, Rafa and Michel did a great job! Very helpful during the move. We had to sort through storage units and organize as we went along. Thanks!

Common questions

Questions about this service

Do you disconnect appliances as part of a residential move?
We handle basic disconnects for things like the fridge and washer. Gas lines and plumbing work stay with a licensed contractor.
Will the same crew load and unload my house?
Yes, for local and most regional moves the same crew handles both ends.
Do you charge extra for stairs in older Tacoma homes?
Stairs add time, which affects an hourly total, but there is no separate flat stair fee.
What is not included in a standard residential quote?
Full packing materials, unless you add our packing service, and specialty items like pianos or safes, which are priced separately.
