A Family Moving Company, Built the Slow Way
Family-Owned & Operated | ODOT #275978 · USDOT #3604556 | Founded 2020, a Decade of Trade Experience Behind It | Google 4.8★ Rated
Butterfield Moving started in December 2020, when Patrick Butterfield decided that ten-plus years of moving other people's households for other people's companies had taught him exactly how he'd do it differently: publish rates, keep the phone in the family, and build crews so careful that customers name them in reviews. ODOT certified us in May 2021. The rest is on the trucks.
Ten Years Learning, Five Years Proving
Patrick spent over a decade in the moving trade, five of those years at one company, watching what breaks a move: crews padded to inflate the bill, quotes that grow after loading, damage claims that vanish into portals. Then he built the inversion. Patrick coined the term when he started the business, it just went with the name. Butterfield Moving means a published rate card, crew sizes set honestly at the walk-through, and a damage policy four words long; we submit a claim upon request.
Patrick and Amy Butterfield run the office, the calendar, scheduling, building rules, and the night-before parking plans our crews are known for. Patrick grew up in Portland, which is why our service area reads like a family map, not a marketing radius.
The Standard, In Plain Terms
A rate you read before you call: $150.35 to $263.15 per hour by crew size, printed in public
A walkthrough on arrival, floor runners down before the first box, and a crew that calls when it's en route
A crew sized to your house, not to the invoice: the industry's over-staffing habit is the reason we publish everything
No deposits, free rescheduling with one to two weeks' notice, payment only at completion
A handwritten thank-you note after the move: small, but it tells you who packed your kitchen
A Family Company With the Family In It
Aiden Butterfield works the crews, second generation, same standard, the name that shows up in reviews next to the customers' own. And the youngest Butterfield, PJ, is thirteen: officially a future mover, currently in charge of quality-inspecting the family photos. The company is built to be worth inheriting, with accountability and a family name on it.

Our Reviews
About Us, Answered Straight
-
Since December 2020, with ten-plus years of trade experience behind the founding. We'd rather earn the distinction honestly than round up.
-
Patrick and Amy both answer, 7 AM to 10 PM, every day, and either one can price and book your move on that call.
-
ODOT For-Hire Carrier #275978, USDOT #3604556, fully insured. Oregon intrastate, the whole state, nothing past it.
-
Tell us, and we submit a claim upon request. Released value coverage at $0.60 per pound is the legal baseline; replacement-cost protection is available if you choose to purchase it. We explain both on every estimate.
Move With the Family
One call gets a straight answer, a published number, and a crew that treats your house like the family business depends on it, because it does.
