Honey Do Movers

Dual-state licensed Pacific Northwest moving company based in Vancouver, WA — built for how the Portland-Vancouver metro actually moves: cross-Columbia jobs between WA and OR, Camas hillside driveways, Salmon Creek cul-de-sacs, Pearl District lofts, and the Beaverton/Hillsboro tech corridor. Before a single box leaves the curb, the figure is locked in writing, signed by both sides.

What our crew handles

Every kind of Portland-Vancouver metro move, one dual-state licensed Honey Do crew

A Salmon Creek ranch on a long fir-lined drive, a Camas hillside view home with a steep grade, a Pearl District elevator loft, a NE Portland Craftsman with a basement, or a Hillsboro tech-corridor townhouse — the same uniformed W-2 team handles all of it on our own trucks. Both sides of the Columbia, both state licenses on file. Pick a service below for the details.

All moving services

How a move books with us

From first message to last box — three Honey Do steps

1

Send us the inventory

Bedrooms, the Vancouver, WA or Portland-metro address at both ends, the move date, any HOA, tower, or both-state paperwork — one short form. Nothing to pay to ask.

2

A written figure comes back

Garrett or Karina sends a binding price in writing — typically inside the hour on weekdays. No hourly meter on move day, no curbside renegotiation once the truck is loaded.

3

The Honey Do truck pulls up

A badged W-2 crew on our own truck rolls into your driveway inside the booked window and stays with the job until the last box is set — same faces both sides of the Columbia.

The hard pieces

Heavy, fragile and irreplaceable — handled in-house

An upright piano coming down a Camas hillside staircase, a gun safe leaving a Lake Oswego basement, a glass-front china cabinet that needs an on-site crate before it rides the Glenn Jackson Bridge — this is what crew chief Riley Gunderson trains the Honey Do team on while most metro outfits wave the call off.

What goes into the number

How Honey Do prices a Vancouver, WA & Portland-metro move

Six variables steer every binding figure Honey Do writes — that math runs the same way whether your inventory is a small Felida studio or a four-bedroom West Linn estate. During the walkthrough call we price each factor in, then collapse them into one signed amount.

01Volume on the truckInventory volume is what dictates how many movers and how big a box. The math on a Salmon Creek one-bedroom never lines up with a three-story Lake Oswego house — different tiers, different price.
02Driveways, stairs & basementsLong fir-lined drives, finished Portland basements, Camas hillside grades, narrow Pearl District elevator runs and Salmon Creek porch steps all add hands and minutes on the clock.
03Distance, bridges & routeA Salmon Creek to Felida hop prices differently from a cross-Columbia move over the I-205 Glenn Jackson Bridge, an I-5 run to Seattle, or an I-84 push out to Boise — bridges, fuel and drive time get baked in up front.
04Packing scopeThree options on the table: pack everything yourself, give the Honey Do crew the kitchen and the breakables, or hand us the whole house from closets to garage. Whichever route you pick gets baked into the same written flat figure up front.
05Both-state paperwork & arrival windowCross-Columbia jobs need clean paperwork in both WA and OR; some metro towers need a COI, a notified concierge, or a strict arrival window — Karina files the paperwork ahead so the truck is cleared on arrival.
06Specialty itemsAn upright piano, a 700-lb safe, a slate-bed billiard or a fully loaded squat rack means one or two more bodies on the truck plus the rigging gear — all of that is baked straight into the same written number.
What rides on our truck

Gear Honey Do brings to every PNW & Portland-metro job

Pacific Northwest housing runs the gamut — original fir floors inside NE Portland Craftsman bungalows, long Battle Ground gravel drives, steep Camas grades with winter ice off the Gorge, plus Doug-fir needles, moss and leaf litter tracked in off the porch nine months a year. Floor runners and door-jamb pads roll out before the first box is even off the truck.

Heavy quilted pads

Couches, hutches and headboards leave the room already swaddled in thick movers’ pads, cinched down with straps so nothing shifts on the carry.

Shrink-wrap & stretch film

Stretch film locks drawers, doors and sectional cushions shut, sealing upholstery off from PNW rain, moss, fir needles and a sudden Columbia squall on the driveway.

Floor & doorway armor

Thick runners get laid down the full carry lane, padded sleeves click onto each doorway jamb — a steel-toe sole never touches original Craftsman fir or the trim on the way past.

Custom crating on site

Bathroom mirrors, glass tabletops, framed canvases and 75-inch flat-screens travel inside crates Riley sizes and assembles right at your door — corners reinforced, edges padded for the Gorge wind or a long Camas hillside descent.

Disassemble & reassemble

Bed frames, dining tables, modular sectionals, IKEA wardrobes — all of it comes apart before it ever rolls, then the Honey Do crew puts it back together (every bolt bagged and labeled) at your new Vancouver, WA or Oregon-side address.

Straps, dollies & ramp boards

Rated tie-downs, four-wheel dollies, stair-climbing dollies and ramp boards for steep Camas grades and basement-stair runs — it all rides with the Honey Do crew.

Your move day

How a day with Honey Do Movers runs

First call

Heads-up before we roll

Dispatcher Aaron Dahlgren rings ahead with a tight arrival window, so you are not stuck guessing when the Honey Do truck turns off SR-500 onto your driveway.

At the door

Walk-through with the crew chief

Riley or Diego takes you room by room, marks which pieces load first, points out tight corners, the basement stair, the steep Camas grade out front — and only then does the carry order get locked in.

Before lift

Wrap, pad & protect

Out come the moving blankets and stretch film over the furniture, the floor runners across the original fir, the jamb sleeves on every doorway, and a thick rubber mat across the porch step — standard armor against PNW drizzle, mud and fir needles.

Loading

Built to ride tight

Weight stacks low and snug on the truck, every piece tied off to the wall — nothing budges on an I-5 Interstate Bridge seam, a Glenn Jackson expansion joint, or a long I-84 Gorge pull.

On the road

Same crew, same truck

From your Vancouver, WA driveway to your delivery door, the same Honey Do crew that loaded the truck stays with it — GPS-tracked the whole way, no swap to a stranger at an I-5 freight yard, no second carrier touching the load.

New address

Placed where you want it

Every box gets carried to its labeled room, every piece of furniture set where you point a finger, and anything the crew had to break down earlier in the day gets bolted back together right there.

Walk-out

Final walk with you

One last lap through the new place together — the Honey Do truck stays parked until you have signed off that every last item is exactly where you want it.

From metro neighbors

Rated 5 stars across the Portland-Vancouver metro

What Vancouver, WA ranch families, Camas hillside owners and Portland Craftsman residents said once the last box hit the floor — from Vancouver, WA and Salmon Creek across to Camas, Felida, Battle Ground, over the Columbia to NE/SE Portland, Lake Oswego, and out west to Beaverton, Hillsboro and Gresham.

Garrett Bramwell, owner of Honey Do Movers
From the owner

I’m Garrett — born and raised on the Vancouver, WA side of the river

I’m Garrett Bramwell, and Honey Do Movers is mine. I grew up in Vancouver, WA, ran warehouse and freight logistics around the Port of Vancouver and the Columbia industrial corridor before opening this company in 2013 on one rule: the flat price gets signed in writing before the truck leaves the yard. The name comes from the honey-do chore list — the household task list one spouse hands the other — and we are the crew that takes “honey, please find good movers” off it.

Office manager Karina Voskanyan handles your COIs, both-state paperwork and billing, dispatcher Aaron Dahlgren runs the daily truck board across the metro, and crew chiefs Riley Gunderson (piano & specialty), Conor Wakefield (long-haul lead) and Diego Espinoza (steep driveways & PNW hillsides) lead the trucks. Every Honey Do mover on the payroll is W-2 full-time and background-checked — nobody on this crew is day labor, nobody is subcontracted out, no part of your job is ever brokered to a third party.

  • Owner-run in Vancouver, WA since 2013

Our paperwork

Fully licensed in both WA and OR, bonded & insured

Honey Do Movers is a real Vancouver, WA moving company — not a broker, not a matching service, not a referral network. We carry household-goods authority in both Washington State and Oregon, so a cross-Columbia move is fully legal end to end. Every credential behind our trucks sits on file ready for any HOA, leasing office, condo board orr property manager who asks.

Washington UTC moving permitHoney Do holds a Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission household-goods moving permit to haul household goods anywhere across Washington State — on the books, above board, no broker layers between you and the truck.
Oregon DOT HHG licenseWe also hold an Oregon Department of Transportation household-goods license, so a Vancouver, WA to Lake Oswego or Camas to Beaverton job is properly registered on both sides of the Columbia — not run under one state authority hoping nobody notices.
US DOT & MC authority + $1M cargoActive federal authority for interstate work — runs up I-5 to Seattle, east on I-90 to Spokane, down to the Bay Area or Phoenix are driven by our crew, never farmed out. Each load travels with up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage.
Workers’ comp & liabilityCoverage rides with each Honey Do mover in both Washington State and Oregon — if anybody on the crew gets hurt inside your home, your garage or your shop, the bill lands squarely on our policy and never bleeds onto you, the HOA or the property owner.

Need a copy of the paperwork in your inbox before you sign? Drop the Honey Do Movers office a line — Karina pulls the Washington State permit, the Oregon DOT HHG record, the COI template and the cargo insurance certificate the same business day.

Worth knowing

What Vancouver, WA and Portland-metro families ask Honey Do before they book

Are you a moving company?
Yes — Honey Do Movers is a fully licensed and insured Pacific Northwest moving company based in Vancouver, WA, running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with a Washington UTC moving permit, an Oregon DOT HHG license, and US DOT and MC authority. Every load travels under up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage.
What is the deal with the Honey Do name — flat rate or hourly?
The name comes from the honey-do household chore list — we are the crew that crosses “find good movers” off the list. Most metro families pick the binding flat number: we walk the inventory, the steep Camas driveway, the basement run, the Columbia crossing, then sign one figure in writing before the truck rolls. Hourly makes more sense for some jobs — an in-and-out Pearl District studio is a good example — in which case you pick either two movers plus truck at $145/hr or three movers plus truck at $195/hr; one-hour minimum and the truck arrives fully kitted out.
Are you actually licensed to move between Washington State and Oregon?
Yes — and that is a real differentiator. We carry a Washington UTC household-goods moving permit, an Oregon DOT HHG license, plus US DOT and MC authority. Plenty of metro outfits run jobs across the Columbia under one state authority and call it good; we filed the paperwork in both Washington State and Oregon, so a Camas-to-Lake-Oswego or Salmon Creek-to-Beaverton job is fully legal end to end.
Can your crew handle a Camas hillside driveway or a Portland basement?
Steep driveways and basement runs are most of our calendar. Camas hillside view homes and West Linn ridge estates ride on weight-rated trucks — crew chief Diego Espinoza scouts the grade and the turning radius before we book. For NE/SE Portland Craftsman bungalows with basements and tight curbside parking, we plan the carry path, the basement stair, and the leaf-littered porch step into the flat rate up front.
On a long-distance run out of Vancouver WA, who actually drives the truck?
Our crew. Honey Do Movers holds its own US DOT and MC authority, so the team that wraps your home in Vancouver on Monday is the same team that rolls into Seattle, Spokane, Boise, the Bay Area, or LA on the other end — long-haul lead Conor Wakefield drives the route, no broker hand-offs, no second carrier swapping your load at an I-5 yard.
