Tualatin is named for a river that takes its time, and sits on a freeway junction that doesn't. The I-5/I-205 split and the Nyberg interchange meter every move in and out of this city, which is why a Tualatin estimate from us starts with when, not just what. Time the junction right and the same move costs an hour less. We plan for that, in writing.
Butterfield Moving is a family company out of Hillsboro. Patrick and Amy answer the phone and manage the company, and Tualatin gives our crews their full range: established single-family streets in the Ibach and Riverpark CIO areas, lake-side condos on the Commons, apartments off Martinazzi, and the offices and shops that work the industrial district south of the river. Same crew standard, same published card, all of it.
Cul-de-sac two-story, Commons condo with an elevator to book, or a Leveton Drive office that has to move over a weekend, call, and get a plan timed for how Tualatin actually flows.
Junction-Smart Scheduling
The I-5/I-205 split and Nyberg backups are a billing problem only if your mover ignores them. We time legs counter-traffic and show the math.
Condo & Elevator Fluent
Commons and Martinazzi-area buildings mean elevator bookings, dock rules, and move-in windows, handled before move day, not discovered during.
Published Rates
$150.35–$263.15/hr by crew size, printed in public. The junction never adds a line item.
Commercial-Calendar Ready
Offices and shops in the industrial district move on nights and weekends. We staff both calendars without dropping either.
Reviewed by Name
The movers customers name in our Google reviews are the movers on your truck, including Aiden, second generation on the crew.
Patrick and Amy Answer Every Call
Patrick and Amy take the calls and book the moves, 7 AM to 10 PM, every day. Crews call when they're en route, and walk the job with you on arrival.
Three Timings That Decide How Your Tualatin Move Goes
Beat the junction, not the clock
Every Tualatin move negotiates the I-5/I-205 split, and the Nyberg interchange turns 4 PM into a parking lot. We route and schedule around the junction's moods, morning loads southbound, counter-commute legs where the calendar allows, and the saved hour shows up on your bill, not ours.
Decision 1
Book the building before the truck
Commons condos and the newer complexes run on elevator reservations and loading-dock windows. We collect the building rules on the first call and lock the slot before we lock the date, because an unbooked elevator is the most expensive room in any building.
Decision 2
Let homes and businesses share a week, not a crew plan
Tualatin is a working city; households move on summer weekends, offices move on winter nights. We plan them as different sports: home crews padded for banisters and toddlers' nap schedules, commercial crews built for desk maps, server carts, and Monday-morning deadlines.
Decision 3
Every Corner of the City, River to Junction
Tualatin organizes its voice through seven Community Involvement Organizations, and its moves through a few distinct territories:
-
• The Ibach area: 25-plus years of single-family streets and cul-de-sacs around Ibach Park, where on-street parking is its own planning step
• The Riverpark area: family blocks around Jurgens Park, a short hop from the Tualatin Community Park river frontage
• The Martinazzi Woods area: established streets and apartment clusters between downtown and the freeway
-
• Tualatin Commons: the lake district: condos and apartments around the 3-acre downtown lake, where elevator bookings and dock windows set the plan
• Downtown core: the civic blocks where library, shops, and housing share tight access
-
• The Bridgeport edge: northeast border streets beside the region's busiest retail district, where weekend truck timing matters
• The industrial district: Herman Road and Leveton Drive's offices, labs, and warehouses south of the river, moved on the commercial calendar

How a Butterfield Tualatin Move Runs
The call: address, building, and timing questions
Which side of the river, house or building, elevator or driveway, junction timing. Five minutes with Patrick or Amy, and free walk throughs on bigger jobs.
The walk-through that reads the access
Rooms counted, pieces named, truck position, and building rules solved on paper, with published numbers beside every answer.
Pack days when they save money
Packers ahead of the move at $56.40 per hour per packer, fragile rooms first, so load day starts staged, not started.
Protection by default
Floor runners, wrapped banisters, guarded jambs on every job, house, condo, or office corridor alike.
Load, time the junction, deliver
Tiers and straps set once, the freeway leg runs when the junction allows, beds and dining tables, or desks and monitors, first off the truck.
The walkthrough before we wave
Every room, every named piece, is inspected with you. Payment at completion: card, check, or cash. No deposit ever held a date.

Our Reviews
The Tualatin Moves Our Calendar Holds
Tualatin references travel through CIO meetings and break rooms, so here's the evidence as patterns, the way our schedule actually shows them:
-
Elevator booked for 9, dock window confirmed, runners down the corridor before the first box rolls, and the lake view enjoyed exactly once, on the last carry. Building moves run on reservations; ours run on time.
-
Twenty-five-year single-family streets mean mature trees over the curb, neighbors' cars to respect, and a truck position negotiated the night before. The move itself is the easy part; the parking plan is the craft.
-
Friday 6 PM: desks mapped and tagged. Saturday: loaded, driven, landed. Sunday: every workstation rebuilt to the map. Monday 8 AM: The only evidence is a new address. The industrial district moves on deadlines, and we like deadlines.

Moving in Tualatin Has Local Physics: and a Mastodon
The river that named the pace
Tualatin takes its name from a Kalapuyan word usually rendered as 'lazy river', and the river still sets the city's geography: parks and family streets north of it, the working district south of it, Browns Ferry and Community Park stitching the banks together. Crossings are few; move plans respect that.
A lake that the city built on purpose
Tualatin Commons wrapped downtown around a three-acre man-made lake, condos, restaurants, and a civic plaza sharing tight, reservation-run access. Commons moves are building moves: rules first, truck second, lake photo last.
Bridgeport gravity
The region's busiest open-air retail district sits on the city's northeast shoulder, and weekend traffic around it bends every nearby move. Saturday moves on the Bridgeport edge, start early or start smart, usually both.
The junction that sets the bill
I-5 meets I-205 here, and the Nyberg interchange is the metro's most honest traffic forecast: bad at rush, fine at ten. We schedule moves the way locals schedule errands, around it, and the difference lands on your invoice as hours not spent idling.
The mastodon in the library
This city's mascot is Ice Age megafauna; mastodon bones unearthed locally stand on display at the public library. We mention it because Tualatin remembers what's heavy and old and worth preserving. So do our crews, every time a piano or an heirloom hutch crosses a threshold.
The working south side
Herman Road and Leveton Drive carry labs, warehouses, and offices, including some of the metro's biggest industrial employers, with campuses still expanding. Commercial Tualatin moves at night and on weekends, and our calendar holds standing room for it.
Rain on the flat
Tualatin's terrain is kind, flat, planned, and drivable. Wet season still gets the wet kit: runners both ends, wrapped grips, patient carries, same published rate.
Tualatin Moving Craft, Written Down
Scheduling as a price lever
A Tualatin estimate weighs the clock alongside the inventory: junction windows, elevator slots, dock reservations, school-calendar peaks. The timing answer changes the plan, never the rate card.
Cul-de-sac choreography
Established streets concentrate parked cars, basketball hoops, and mature trees exactly where a truck wants to be. The night-before parking plan is a Tualatin specialty.
Senior transitions, river-town pace
Longtime Tualatin households downsizing get the blended playbook: estate-grade handling, patient pacing, community move-in windows honored, and family looped in on one bill.
Coverage, explained before you sign
Released value at $0.60 per pound is the legal floor, not a plan. The replacement-cost conversation happens on every estimate for inventories that deserve it, you choose, informed, before move day.
Building moves, run by the book
COIs for property managers, protected corridors, booked elevators, dock etiquette, condo and office buildings have rules, and crews that follow them finish faster than crews that fight them.
Staging-to-sale choreography
Tualatin listings stage to compete with new construction nearby, our realtor staging and household moving run on one phone number, one family, zero handoffs.
The office-move craft
Desk maps, labeled chains, monitor sleds, server gear carried like the business depends on it, because it does. Weekend cutovers planned backward from Monday 8 AM.

-
No, we schedule around it instead. The junction is our planning problem; the rate card doesn't move.
-
Perfect, send us the rules. Elevator slot, dock window, corridor protection: locked before move day, every time.
-
That's the weekend cutover: mapped Friday, moved Saturday, rebuilt Sunday, open Monday. Documented on our office relocation page.
-
Wherever the night-before plan says, we scout parking on established streets and coordinate with neighbors so move day starts moving, not negotiating.
-
For one- and two-bedroom moves, about three times out of four, call before noon and we'll tell you straight whether today works.
-
No deposits, free rescheduling with one to two weeks' notice, and a structure that bends with possession dates.
-
Yes, planned as named pieces with the right equipment and crew. The mastodon in the library would approve of how we treat heavy history.
-
No, we'd rather be honest than vague. We'll point you to reputable local storage and handle the truck legs on both ends.
-
Summer weekends and end-of-month: two to four weeks out. Offices: as soon as the lease is signed. Everything else: one to two weeks. The walk-through is free and locks nothing.
