Our experienced team navigates the winding roads, steep driveways, and upscale properties with ease. We understand HOA regulations, coordinate with building management in Bull Mountain Heights Apartments, and protect the beautiful landscaping that makes this neighborhood special.
The Bull Mountain community borders Tigard, King City, Beaverton, and Metzger, making it ideal for families commuting to Portland’s tech corridor or Hillsboro. With top-rated Mary Woodward Elementary School and Tigard High School nearby, families consistently choose this neighborhood for its excellent schools and peaceful atmosphere.
Durham: Small-Town Charm Meets Professional Service
Durham’s 265 acres of residential tranquility between Tigard and Tualatin deserves movers who respect its unique character. This small, tree-filled community along Fanno Creek offers no commercial businesses—just peaceful homes and office parks. We understand the importance of protecting Durham City Park’s trails and respecting the quiet, family-oriented atmosphere.
Moving to or from Durham means navigating proximity to Interstate 5 while maintaining the community’s residential integrity. Our efficient teams coordinate moves around peak commute times and ensure smooth transitions for the approximately 1,900 residents who call this sylvan community home.
King City: Retirement Community Expertise
Originally established as a 55+ retirement community in the 1960s, King City has evolved into a multigenerational neighborhood while maintaining its serene, golf-course-centered lifestyle. Our movers bring specialized experience with downsizing moves, senior relocations, and the careful handling required for retirement community transitions.
Located between the Tualatin River and Bull Mountain’s south slope, King City residents enjoy proximity to shopping at Washington Square Mall while maintaining a peaceful suburban atmosphere. We work efficiently within King City’s quiet streets and respect the community’s desire for minimal disruption.
Metzger: Historic Neighborhood, Modern Service
Metzger’s rich history dating back to 1900 deserves movers who appreciate its character. Named after Herman Metzger who platted the town in 1908, this family-friendly neighborhood features Metzger Park’s seven wooded acres, tennis courts, and community gathering spaces.
Located east of Washington Square Mall with convenient access to Pacific Highway and I-5, Metzger offers excellent connectivity to Portland (just 8 miles away) and Beaverton (3 miles). Our team efficiently navigates the neighborhood’s mix of historic homes and newer developments, ensuring seamless moves for families attending Metzger Elementary School.
Tigard Triangle: Moving with a Growing Community
The Tigard Triangle—bordered by Highway 99W, Highway 217, and Interstate 5—represents Tigard’s exciting future. This 550-acre mixed-use district is rapidly transforming with new apartment communities, improved infrastructure, and enhanced walkability.
Our movers understand the unique challenges of this developing area: coordinating with new construction, navigating evolving street networks, and working efficiently in modern apartment complexes like The Steward. Whether you’re moving into newly built units or established properties, we adapt to the Triangle’s dynamic environment.
With ongoing infrastructure improvements and urban renewal projects, the Tigard Triangle offers proximity to three major highways while developing into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. We help new residents transition smoothly into this growing community.

Tigard’s Best Moving Season and Timing
Optimal Moving Months
While we serve Tigard year-round, June through September offers the best weather conditions. However, this peak season means higher demand and potentially higher rates. Consider moving during:
- April-May: Pleasant spring weather, lower demand, better availability
- September-October: Beautiful fall conditions before winter rains arrive
- Mid-month dates: Less competition than end-of-month moves
- Weekdays: Better availability and sometimes lower rates than weekends
Weather Considerations
Tigard’s temperate climate brings cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Winter moves (November-February) may encounter rain but rarely snow at Tigard’s elevation. We come prepared with waterproof coverings and adapt efficiently to weather conditions year-round.
Bull Mountain residents should note that the hill can experience occasional icy conditions during winter, making spring through fall ideal for moves.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much do local movers cost in Tigard?
Local residential moving costs in Tigard vary based on several factors including home size, distance, services needed, and timing. For a typical 2-3 bedroom home, expect professional moving services to range from $600-$2,000 for local moves within Tigard and surrounding areas.
Key factors affecting your cost:
- Home size: A 1-bedroom apartment costs significantly less than a 4-bedroom house
- Distance: Moving from Cedar Hills to Aloha costs less than Cedar Hills to West Linn
- Services: Packing services, specialty item handling, and storage add to the base moving cost
- Timing: Peak season (summer) and weekend moves typically cost more than off-season weekday moves
- Accessibility: Homes with long driveways, multiple stories, or limited parking may require additional time
We provide free, detailed estimates that break down all costs so there are no surprises. Our transparent pricing means you'll know exactly what you're paying for and why. Many Tigard families find professional movers worth every penny when they consider the time saved, stress avoided, and protection their belongings receive.
Do I need a parking permit for moving day in Tigard?
Parking permit requirements in Tigard depend on your specific location and property type. Here's what you need to know:
Single-family homes: Most Tigard residential streets don't require permits for moving trucks, but we always check your specific location. Some neighborhoods have parking time limits that could affect longer moves.
Apartments and condominiums: Many multi-family properties require advance notification and have specific moving hours. Some buildings require elevator reservations, certificate of insurance, and deposits. We coordinate these details for you.
Downtown Tigard: If you're moving to or from downtown Tigard (Old Town area), parking management zones may apply. Some areas have time-limited parking that requires permits for extended stays.
HOA communities: Certain neighborhoods with homeowner associations have specific moving requirements including advance notice, restricted hours, and sometimes permits or deposits.
The good news? We handle parking logistics as part of our service. During your consultation, we'll assess your situation and secure any necessary permits or permissions. This is part of our local expertise - we know which areas require permits and handle the process for you, preventing any moving day delays or citations.
What's the best time of year to move in Tigard?
Tigard's climate and seasonal patterns make some times better than others for residential moves:
Best: September-October and April-May
- Moderate weather with less rain than winter
- Lower demand than peak summer, potentially better rates
- Longer days provide more working hours
- Beautiful fall colors or spring blooms
Good: June-August
- Warmest, driest weather of the year
- No rain concerns for your belongings
- Peak moving season - book early for best availability
- Ideal if you have school-age children (summer break)
Consider: November-March
- Lowest demand = best rates and availability
- Rain is common but rarely prevents moves
- Snow is rare in Beaverton (only 2 inches annually)
- We protect all items with weatherproof covering
- Shorter daylight hours may extend move time slightly
Weather Reality: Tigard gets more rain than the national average but temperatures rarely freeze. Our professional movers work year-round and come prepared with protective covering, proper equipment, and experience moving in all conditions. We've never cancelled a move due to Tigard weather.
Pro Tip: If you can move on weekdays instead of weekends, you'll typically save 20-30% regardless of season. Tuesday through Thursday are often the least expensive moving days.

How far in advance should I book my Tigard move?
Timing your booking correctly ensures you get your preferred moving date and the best service:
Peak Season (May-September): Book 4-6 weeks in advance
- Summer is busiest due to school schedules and weather
- Weekends fill up quickly, sometimes 6-8 weeks ahead
- Last-minute bookings may be possible but with limited flexibility
- Earlier booking often means better rates and more options
Off-Season (October-April): Book 2-3 weeks in advance
- Greater availability with more flexible scheduling
- Often better rates due to lower demand
- Weekday moves may be available with just a few days' notice
- Still book ahead for best crew assignment
Special Circumstances Requiring More Time:

- Large homes (4+ bedrooms): Extra time helps us allocate proper crew size and equipment
- Condos/apartments with restrictions: Some buildings require weeks of advance notice
- Month-end moves: The last few days of the month are always busiest - book extra early
Last-Minute Moves: Life happens, and sometimes moves come up quickly. We maintain some flexibility for emergency or last-minute relocations, especially during off-peak times. Call us even if your move is soon - we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pro Tip: Once you know you're moving, call us for a free consultation. We can place a "soft hold" on dates while you finalize your plans, then confirm as your timeline becomes certain. This is especially helpful during peak season when dates fill quickly.
