What White Glove Service in Portland Includes

White glove means something specific at O’Neill. Every job follows the same four stages, and we build the services into each one.

In-home survey. Trained O’Neill Transfer & Storage movers will walk your home and document every significant piece, its condition, and what it needs to travel safely. We photograph and log significant pieces before anything moves.
Piece-by-piece plan. You receive a written handling plan with crating specs for each item that needs one. We build crates to fit the piece rather than forcing it into a box. This is also where we set valuation coverage to match what your collection is actually worth.
Protected transport. Crews trained specifically on art, antiques, and high-value furniture load and transport your shipment.
Placement and installation. Your pieces are placed and installed at the destination, not left at the door. We photograph and log condition again at delivery, so the record is complete on both ends.

One company, not five vendors. White glove work often gets split up between multiple companies. There’s usually an art handler for the paintings, a piano company for the piano, a hauler for what stays behind, and an organizer for the rest. Every one is a separate quote, a separate window, and a separate person to call. O’Neill handles crating, piano moving, decluttering, estate cleanout, junk removal, storage, and long-distance transport through one point of contact. Because our Portland moving services and warehouse operate under the same roof, you won’t have to coordinate multiple vendors.

What White Glove Movers in Portland Are Actually Up Against

We have moved Portland households since 1920, and two things about this city shape how a white glove move runs here.

Homes Built Before Anyone Considered a Moving Crew

Portland neighborhoods such as Irvington, Alameda, and Laurelhurst, were built as streetcar suburbs. In other words, these sections in Portland were right next to a railroad so residents could commute to downtown. Neighborhoods like Alameda featured large custom homes.

Alameda’s developers paid the local rail company more than $60,000 in 1910 and 1911 to extend streetcar tracks into the district and make more lots attractive to buyers, according to the Oregon Encyclopedia.

Irvington is Oregon’s largest historic district, with just over 2,800 structures. All new construction and most exterior changes there are subject to historic resource review. If your move involves a remodel, that review process can significantly affect the timeline. We store your household goods for as long as the review and the work take.

A City That Collects

Portland has a deep collecting culture. First Thursday, a monthly art gallery walk and outdoor street festival in Portland, has run in the Pearl District since 1986. The event draws over 10,000 people a month, according to Travel Portland. Southeast Portland’s Sellwood Antique Row has hosted the antique trade on SE 13th Avenue for more than 40 years.

Our survey documents each significant piece individually rather than counting rooms, so the plan reflects what is actually in your home.

Portland White Glove Moving FAQ

At O’Neill, white glove service means a dedicated move manager handles everything: custom crating built for each piece, a documented handling plan, condition documentation before and after transport, and full unpacking and placement at delivery. Our crews are trained on valuables and white glove delivery. We don’t consider the job done until every piece is placed, every box is gone, and the home is ready to live in.

White glove service applies to pieces that cannot be handled like general household goods, and to households that want the entire move managed rather than supervised. We handle fine art, mirrors, antiques and heirlooms, sculpture, designer and high-end furniture, and pianos this way, along with full packing, unpacking, and placement. Our in-home survey identifies which of your pieces need special handling. If you have valuable or precious items, or simply want to hand the whole move off to one company, we recommend White Glove moving services.

White glove moving companies in Portland handle items outside standard household goods service, and they manage the full experience around them. The difference shows up in preparation and delivery. We provide custom crating for each piece, a written handling plan, condition documentation, and full placement, unpacking, and installation.

There is no flat rate because white glove pricing is based on the items in your home, not the square footage. For context, Angi reports that a standard local move within 100 miles averages about $1,696 and typically runs between $876 and $2,549, with packing services adding roughly $1,000 more on average. White glove service costs more than that baseline because it adds custom crating, documentation, and installation labor that a standard move does not include.

Any number quoted before someone has seen your pieces is a guess. Our in-home survey documents what needs crating, which makes an accurate figure possible.

The FMCSA names three of the most common warning signs

A mover that will not do an in-home estimate
A Portland mover that asks you to sign incomplete or blank documents
A Portland White Glove mover that is not registered with the FMCSA.

The DOT Office of Inspector General adds a few more: no local address or FMCSA registration listed on the website, a phone answered with a generic greeting rather than the company name, and claims of decades in business with no verifiable history.

For white glove work specifically, a quote given without a walkthrough should end the conversation. You can’t plan crating for pieces nobody has measured. O’Neill Transfer & Storage provides all the necessary procedures and credentials to be a reliable option for your white glove services move.

Reputable ones are fully licensed and insured. Any Portland moving and storage company should be able to provide the numbers upon request. O’Neill Transfer & Storage is an Interstate Agent of Wheaton World Wide Moving, operating under USDOT #70719 and our own USDOT #103317. Our ODOT license number is 251555, our MC license number is 87113, and our Local for Hire Permit number is 3633.

The team (Luis, Nelson, and Elvin) were awesome. They were meticulous and went above and beyond to ensure our things were safe and handled with care.

Alexandra Stavrianidi 03:04 08/08/26

I had a great experience with O’Neill Transfer and Storage. I moved from Stanford, CA to Portland, OR, and they handled everything from the initial move to storing my belongings for about a year and ultimately delivering everything to my new home in Portland.Everything arrived in great condition after a year in storage, and the whole process went very smoothly. Their prices were reasonable, and they were helpful and responsive throughout what was a fairly long and stressful process for me. It was actually quite difficult to find a moving company that could accommodate this particular type of move, especially given the relatively small size of my shipment, so I really appreciated that they were able to handle everything from start to finish. Bob, John and Cindy were great to work with. I’m very happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend O’Neill Transfer and Storage.

THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!!!

Malissa Snyder 18:59 01/07/26

Jason and Ray were some of the absolute best movers I’ve ever had. They treated all of my things so delicately and respect respectfully. They were incredible communicators, Incredibly professional, very nice, and we had a lot of fun while they were moving all of my stuff in! I would highly recommend them to anybody who wants people they can trust!

Barclay Grayson 22:44 12/31/25

I cannot speak more highly of O'Neil transfer and Storage! A team of 6 men moved my entire 6,000sf multi-level home into 2 storage units over a 2.5 day period as well as packed a significant number of my most valuable personal items and did a fantastic job. They also moved some incredibly heavy items which was incredibly appreciated. They were professional, courteous, on time, careful with delicate and valuable items and expeditious. Their accounting and administration department handled my multiple coordination calls and my payments smoothly without any issues or concerns. Their team was clean, trustworthy and got the job done exactly as requested and the final cost came UNDER what they quoted me (after I threw in a bunch of last minute extra additions of items that they were able to supply me for my additional long-term storage needs). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Thank you O'Neil transfer and Storage!

J H 20:02 12/24/25

Great job, fast and got everything where we needed it.Even in the tough weather the crew did great!

Meng Cao 05:24 12/05/25

Luis, Nelson, and Nestor did a great job helping me pack up my 1b1b apartment for my move from OR to TX. They took extra care wrapping fragile items and also created a detailed inventory list for all boxes. My employer covered the shipping fee, so I can’t speak to pricing, but the pickup experience were great. I’m still waiting for my belongings to arrive in TX, but so far I’ve been impressed and grateful for their help.

John McLandress 18:07 12/03/25

Paul Hiranaga 15:49 10/01/24

We just moved our entire house from Hillsboro to Beaverton, about 8,000 pounds of household items. The crew showed up on time and were very polite and handled our goods with care. The cost was reasonable and definately saved my back and knees. We were very happy to support a local business and would use them again.

Allison Portney 19:18 07/31/24

I am glad to share my fantastic experience with O'Neill. Their service exceeded all expectations, making our move not only efficient but also remarkably smooth and stress-free. From the outset, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. They arrived promptly, handled our belongings with the utmost care, and executed the packing and moving process seamlessly. Every item was transported safely, thanks to their meticulous attention to detail and careful handling, despite having to walk up and down 5 flights of stairs repeatedly. What truly set O'Neill apart was their extraordinary commitment to ensuring that our new home was perfectly set up. Unlike many movers, they didn’t just unload the boxes and leave; they actively assisted in placing and organizing our furniture, boxes, and belongings according to our preferences. Their help was incredibly valuable. I recommend O'Neill to anyone in need of a moving service. Their exceptional care, professionalism, and the extra effort truly made all the difference.

Robyn Wright 14:29 07/02/24

We recently had a very rushed complete move out of our home when the sale closed very quickly. O'Neill Transfer and Storage stepped in, and in one day, had the entire house packed up and moved over 100 miles away into a storage unit at our new location! They were very careful with our things, and packed and padded each box carefully. The crew was extremely courteous and polite, and were always willing to work around us as we hustled to get moved out by the 5 pm deadline. They drove the whole truck load to the coast and neatly stacked everything in our storage unit for us. Each box was labeled with the room that the items came out of, so now all we have to do is look through the boxes to find the items we need.

Sarah Larsen 23:49 05/23/24

I'm a home organizer and I hired the O'Neill team to move my client's belongings from his old house to his new one and they did a wonderful job. They were on time, professional, and they completed the job very quickly. There was no damage to any items. Highly recommend!

C Sylvester 23:31 05/22/24

My main movers for an international move contracted with O’Neills to pack up and load everything into a shipping contain. Albert, Markus and Freddie arrived and couldn’t have had better attitudes. They were careful with every item they packed. The main company had failed to give them a complete picture of the size of the job, but they made it work and ensured everything was packed professionally and without fuss. I was seriously impressed with these gentlemen and would highly recommend based on this experience.

God Beni 20:01 02/04/24

A great place to store your belongings as well as work for

Karl N 15:03 12/08/23

Made my dreams come true!

Jeff Kellison 08:52 05/23/23

COREY W 21:46 03/27/23

Paige Cano 02:14 03/02/23

After reading enough reviews about horroble moves, one will inevitably become wary and expect the worst. O'Neill totally blew me away with how professional and kind they were every step of the way. Absolutely awesome team delivered my belongings efficiently and with care up to my third story apartment (with an elevator, but still). Scheduling the delivery was super easy as well despite the delay due to the snow. Truly can't recommend them enough!

The individuals that delivered our matress set were quick & professional.This would have been perfect during typical times, but during a pandemic I do wish they were wearing masks/face covering. I think PPE should be provided & used by the delivery crew!

Suzanne Townsen 20:03 06/10/20

Tommy Baker 17:42 06/05/20

Sally Rogers 17:06 06/05/20

I was nervous ordering a bed online, especially not knowing the details of delivery. It actually came 2 weeks sooner than promised and the communication setting up the delivery was superb. They kept us informed even calling when on their way even though we were given a window for delivery. The delivery itself was incredibly professional. They were respectful and helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this company.

Dano 55 17:24 05/12/20

Quick. Efficient. Worth it.

John Johnson 16:38 05/12/20

O’Neil delivered a mattress we ordered from Costco. Their office called and scheduled a delivery window between 8:30-10:30 and the truck was at our home right at 8:30 on the agreed upon delivery day. The delivery men had the mattress off the truck and inside our garage within 5 minutes. They would have brought the mattress inside and set it up but with the virus issues I preferred to do it myself. It wasn’t the 100% contactless experience I would have preferred because I had to sign the delivery receipt so they could work on that aspect of the process. Perhaps a phone call or email where I could confirm the delivery without touching anything. All in all a 100% good delivery experience with just slight room for improvement.

kim gaw 14:46 05/02/20

Christina Noel 01:38 04/18/20

I called to have a mattress delivered from O'Neill Transfer, they arranged a time to deliver the next day, delivery was excellent, punctual & professional. The old mattress was hauled away as well, thanks for the great job.

Steve Stewart 23:23 04/03/20

I have O'Neill Transfer move us from the west side of Portland over to the east side. They were able to get everything in my 5 bedroom house packed up, moved and delivered to my new house the same day. Everything arrived as good as when it left the old house. Great work and very hard working crew.

Johnny Rover 19:24 04/02/20

Update, written 2 MAR 2020My items were delivered last week. I can say I have no problem with this moving company. They communicated with me promptly and my items were in the best condition I have ever had with movers. I plan on moving again, and I will think of this company first is all I have to say.Written 11 JUL 2019Where do I begin? Well this is a good moving company, most of my communication was done via email. I managed to get an estimator to come out and look at my apartment. I was glad because basing the cost of a move purely on square footage is bad. After the estimator came out I kept in contact and all my questions and concerns were addressed.The day I was going to have my items packed and stored the three gentlemen showed up on time and were very diligent. Very professional and addressed my concerned. I am experienced with other movers and somethings I knew to look out for.I will update this review when I move into a new place and have them deliver my items. As for now they left a great impression.

Patrick Kane 12:52 07/19/19

Great service and attentive to needs. We are a very-satisfied long-time customer. Highly recommended.

Patti Worden 19:18 06/11/19

We had outdoor furniture delivered that we ordered from Costco. We were given a two hour window. Dean and Todd arrived within a 1/2 hour into that window.They were prompt, efficient and had the best personality, considering I had to determine placement as they were unloading. They carefully unloaded and made sure all packing materials were picked up and hauled away.They both were a delight in the short time they were here. Our thanks.

Caitlin Littlefield 21:51 03/19/18

We cannot say enough good things about O’Neill Transfer and Storage Co Inc. of Beaverton, Oregon – affiliated with National Van Lines. O’Neill’s President (Bradley Boland Sr.) came to our rescue after we had been bilked by an online Moving Broker (don’t ever make that mistake!). Anyway, it was the day of our scheduled move through the online broker and the price suddenly jumped $2,000. We “fired” them, but then were in a desperate spot as we (family of 3) had our plane tickets to leave the next day. We called O’Neill and spoke with Brad Boland Sr. who immediately came out, gave us the price and made arrangements for the move on the spot. O’Neill is a very professional company with great client communication. Everything was packed and moved to Buffalo NY in perfect condition and right on time. They gave a fair price and more than made up for the terrible experience we had with the online moving broker. We would recommend O’Neill 100%!-Craig Voigt and Caitlin Littlefield

Patrick Smith 09:14 02/12/18

Organized, very dependable and local(!). Amazing packers; not a single item from a very large home broken or even scratched. Very flexible for multi-state moving.

Lisa Carberry 15:03 02/02/16

I was relocated from OR to MN for work and it had to happen fast. I was not going to give up the OR apt. yet as I was not sure how it would all go. It was overwhelming trying to figure out which service to use and I was getting calls and emails with quotes from all over the country after I did an online search/inquiry. I liked the idea of using a local company and Bradley, the president, called and emailed and came over with some boxes to give me some advice on what to bring and not bring, etc. He was very hands on and trustworthy and everything went well. I would recommend his service to anyone.
