Movers in the Whiteaker
Free, No-Obligation Estimate
Historic cottages, walk-up apartments, and tight streets in the arts district. Priority One moves the Whit on a flat, written price, handled by our own crew.
Moving in Whiteaker: What to Expect
The Whiteaker, the Whit to locals, is Eugene's arts and brewery district, small older cottages, converted houses, and walk-up apartments packed along narrow tree-lined streets. Parking is scarce and a lot of it has no driveway, so a move here turns on the curb space and the stair carry, and Ardis and the crew sort both before the truck rolls in.
What to square away before a Whiteaker move
- Older cottages and walk-ups have narrow, steep interior stairs
- Few driveways, so a curb spot or a bit of street planning is needed
- Tight one-way streets limit where a big truck can sit
Typical Whiteaker move cost

Three ways to keep the day short
- Give us the cross streets so we can sort the truck spot
- Flag a second- or third-floor walk-up when you book
- Point out records, art, or anything fragile so we pad it right
Three Steps to Moving Day
From the very first hello all the way to the last carton set down in the room it belongs in.
Tell Us About the Move
Tell us about the move by phone, on a quick video call, or right here through the form. What comes back is a written flat rate, not a fuzzy guess that swells the minute the truck is loaded.
Lock In Your Date
Pick your date and we match the crew and truck to it, then take care of whatever comes up: a curbside parking permit, a building certificate of insurance, or a held freight elevator.
We Carry the Load
One lead sees it through beginning to end, wrapping, loading, driving, and placing every piece, supported by our own Eugene crew, and we route the drive around I-5, the Beltline, and Highway 99 to keep the schedule on track.

Your Move, Fully Covered
Coverage that reaches from the first pad we drape over your furniture to the last carton carried up to the top floor.
Fully Insured
Every job carries cargo and liability coverage, and we go over your valuation options with you long before a signature.
Rain or Shine
This is the Willamette Valley, so we show up ready for the wet. We bring our own door and floor coverings, tarp and shrink-wrap anything that could catch the rain, and keep the carry moving so a soggy Oregon day never soaks your furniture or drags out the move.
Padded & Wrapped
We pad, shrink-wrap, and strap down each item snugly. In the rare event a piece takes a knock, we point it out at once and set it right.
Done Right
An honest price, a crew that genuinely takes pride in the work, and nobody leaves until each item sits precisely where you want it.

We handle the curb space, the walk-up stairs, and the tight doorways before your date, so a Whiteaker move stays smooth even on the narrowest street. One lead sticks with your job from beginning to end, and the flat price is in your hands before anything gets loaded.

If you're looking for professional, friendly, efficient movers, Priority One is for you! Ardis responded to my very last minute request to unpack my 16-foot box truck with a quickness and could not have been nicer, even while they were lugging my heaviest furniture up a flight of stairs. They showed up on time, brought their own protective door and floor coverings, and were great with my overly protective dog. Also, their prices couldn't be more competitive! Thank you, Priority One!
This was the best moving experience I've ever had! Mario's team was incredibly professional and efficient, and executed the move with precision and real attention. We had zero issues. He and his team were friendly, respectful, and incredibly hard working. Thank you for everything!
Ben and his crew (Tim and Akuul) were amazing on our move. The communication was clear, and they were courteous and careful. Even Philip was great providing a quote and booking the move. Highly recommend!

Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you move within the Whiteaker?
Yes, the cottages and walk-ups here are a big part of our week. Local moves start at $110/hr on a flat, written price, and we take care of the curb spot, the stair carry, and floor protection for the rain. When the move leaves Oregon, we price it on weight and mileage instead.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes indeed. Priority One Moving Services holds Oregon household-goods authority and full coverage, and it is our own crew on your job from start to finish, with no broker sneaking in to take a cut. We are happy to walk through the authority numbers and the insurance with you, and we cover your valuation choices before anything is finalized.
Do you handle a downtown loft or student apartment move where the building demands a COI?
Constantly, and that includes the buildings right by the University of Oregon. A downtown loft or a student high-rise generally wants a certificate of insurance on record and the elevator held for a fixed window. We submit the COI to the building office, lock down the elevator, wrap the cab and the corridors in pads, and wrap up within your reserved slot so the dock frees up right on time.
My South Eugene bungalow has a tight, steep staircase. Is that going to be a problem?
Not at all, that is our bread and butter. Those old craftsman homes across South Eugene, College Hill, and the Whiteaker usually come with original steep stairs, pinched doorways, and stepped front porches. For over ten years we have measured out every tight turn, padded the jambs and handrails, and carried by hand whatever will not swing around a corner.
Will you handle the packing?
However much you like. Need the whole house packed? Consider it handled. Only the kitchen and the artwork? That works fine too. We come stocked with sturdy cartons and paper, label each box by its room, and after the truck is emptied we will unpack you at the other end.
Can you move pianos, gun safes, and slate pool tables?
For sure, our crew takes these on pretty much every week. An upright or grand piano, a loaded gun safe, a slate pool table, a cherished heirloom, or a framed painting, every one rides on the right board or dolly with proper straps and pads, and we put together a custom-fit crate whenever a piece calls for one.
Can I move or cancel my date?
Definitely. Give us at least two days notice to shift or cancel your date and your entire deposit comes right back to you. All the terms are written in plain English on your booking, so nothing is left up in the air.
