Understanding Long-Distance Moving Costs from Tigard
Long-distance moving costs are calculated differently than local moves. Key factors include:
Distance: The total mileage from Tigard to your destination state significantly impacts pricing. Popular routes like Tigard to California, Washington, Texas, or Colorado have established pricing structures.
Weight & Volume: Interstate moves are typically priced by weight (per 100 pounds) or cubic footage of your belongings. A typical 3-bedroom Tigard home averages 7,500-9,000 pounds.
Service Level: Full-service packing, storage, and specialty item handling increase costs but save time and reduce stress. Many Tigard families find the investment worthwhile for cross-country relocations.
Moving Season: Peak season (May through mid-September) typically costs 20-30% more than off-season moves. Weekday moves often provide better rates than weekend relocations.
Insurance Coverage: Basic coverage (60 cents per pound per article) is included, but many homeowners opt for full-value protection for peace of mind during interstate transport.
Average costs for common Tigard long-distance moves:
- Tigard to California (800-1,100 miles): $4,500-$8,500
- Tigard to Texas (2,100-2,300 miles): $6,000-$11,000
- Tigard to Arizona (1,300-1,400 miles): $5,000-$9,000
- Tigard to Washington (200-300 miles): $2,500-$4,500
These are estimates for 3-bedroom homes with standard belongings. Final costs vary based on specific circumstances and service selections.

Our movers know the area intimately—from navigating Bull Mountain’s steep residential streets to coordinating departures around Bridgeport Village traffic patterns. This local expertise ensures efficient loading days and on-time departures, critical for long-distance moves with strict scheduling requirements.

With over 80% of our business coming from referrals and repeat customers, we’ve earned Tigard’s trust through consistently excellent service. Our crews have successfully completed thousands of interstate relocations, maintaining careful handling standards regardless of distance traveled.

Special Considerations for Tigard Long-Distance Moves
Tigard-Tualatin School District Timing
Families with children in the highly-rated Tigard-Tualatin School District (ranked #12 in Oregon) often coordinate moves around the school calendar. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate:
- End-of-school-year relocations (June-July)
- Pre-school-year moves (August)
- Mid-year transitions with storage options
Tigard Real Estate Market Coordination
With Tigard homes typically selling within 7-42 days, closing and moving timelines can be tight. Our storage solutions bridge gaps between selling your Tigard home and purchasing your out-of-state property, and we coordinate with real estate agents to meet strict closing deadlines.
Pacific Northwest Weather Considerations
Oregon’s wet winters (October-April) require special precautions for long-distance moves. Our crews use weather-resistant packing materials, protect floors and carpets during loading, and have backup plans for safe loading during rainy conditions common in the Tigard area.
Interstate Regulations & Documentation
Long-distance moves across state lines involve federal regulations. We handle all required documentation including:
- Bill of Lading and inventory forms
- Mover registration verification
- Insurance certificates and valuation agreements
- State-specific moving regulations for your destination
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:
- Long-distance moves: Book 6-8 weeks ahead for moves beyond the Portland metro area
- 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.
