With all this snow and freezing cold temperatures happening in and around Portland, it could have you thinking about warmer weather and sunnier days. You can find many qualities that Portland has to offer in other cities including the ocean, . Logs glowing on a fire, coming inside and shaking the snow off your shoulders, or the promise of something warm to drink while you relax.
We start with a free, comprehensive on-site survey to determine what you need and how we can help you the most. We assign a personal Relocation Coordinator to assess the scope of your move; your current and future locations, vehicle and equipment needs and then make sure all aspects of the move are synchronized with your schedule.

When I tell you that these guys are truly a professional and ethical organization, I MEAN IT! John Beckman took my call to rescue the crating of some machines that a carrier failed to crate as promised. When Noyes got the machines, the first thing John did was call me and tell me that he could not, in good conscious, finish these using the pallets they were on and would need to start from scratch. Needless to say, I was expecting the typical, "your new quote is going to be $!" but that is not what I got. Instead, he says he quoted what he quoted and would get the job done, but may need an extra day (this was after asking a couple questions of possible alternative methods).
Then comes the work of TIM PARKER, who was the man in charge of the actual crating. This man is an artist! Those machines got consolidated from 4 skids to 1 crate (and not exceeding LTL dims for extended dims) and could have gone on horse drawn wagon making its way to "Frisca" on the pioneer trail and probably would have been operational upon arrival. TRUST THESE GUYS WITH YOUR BUSINESS and you will not regret. *And I promise you that I am in no way affiliated, just extremely pleased and if I ever have business in their area again, they will be the first I call.

Earl W. Noyes & Sons Moving Company made moving my father into his new place at Ashton Gardens so smooth. Starting with the office staff, specifically Charlotte, who was so helpful and accommodating for scheduling the move to coordinate with my arrival to Portland to move my father. The men scheduled on the move day were so friendly, polite and very efficient. I'd recommend this firm to anyone moving. They are a top notch professional moving company.

Fantastic company and amazing people. Amber was incredible to work with. I experienced a family crisis the day before we were scheduled to move out of our house and desperately needed to move our "move out date". Amber, very professionally, worked with us to find a date that did work for us. I couldn't have been more grateful for her, in our time of need. I highly recommend this company for your moving and packing needs. 5 stars all day long.

Over the past 57 years, we have moved 11 times, lived in 11 different houses in 9 different cities in 5 different states, so we know how to evaluate a good mover. Noyes Moving was by far the best of all the movers we have used. They are professional and their employees are first class. We have been serious antiques collectors for most of those 57 years and Noyes handled our collection with extreme care. If we ever move again, we will not hesitate to call them.

We used Noyes for move out, storage during renovations of a new home and they moved us back in 6 months later. Their crews were extremely professional and knowledgeable. It was a challenging move with disassembly and many large, heavy and bulky items. They handled everything without a pause. I would not hesitate to use them again as highly recommend them to all considering.

The movers were punctual, careful, and kind. They both took great care with our items and our property. They were completely willing to accommodate some old house stairs and tight areas. Thank you for helping us with our move across the country, we will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for moving services!

We recently moved and used Earle W Noyes and sons. I was very impressed with the fact that they physically come to your home to quote you. Other companies had me fill out a questionnaire. I'm sure I missed items that a professional would not. The movers arrived on time the day of the move and were professional, courteous and fast! Boy, we're they strong!
They layed down carpet during both moves and didn't mind that I had to move some large pieces more than once. I would highly recommend this company. Their price was as competitive as all the others so why go anywhere else?

My experience with Earle W Noyes & Sons Moving was excellent. From the very beginning, the company was very responsive, and quickly set up a short virtual meeting to make an estimate for total moving and packing costs. The owner got the quotes to me quickly, and Amber was very helpful in making sure that my move was scheduled for the day that best fit with my schedule.
On the moving day itself, the three people who came to help pack and move were wonderful - efficient, considerate, and also great at problem-solving when carrying my furniture down a third-floor walk-up. They packed my belongings more carefully than any other moving company I've used in the past, and everything was placed in my new home in the same condition that they left my old apartment. Overall, they took exactly the amount of time that was predicted on the quote, and the total amount was actually less than quoted because they used the boxes that I had kept from a previous move.
They were even willing to reassemble my couch in a new way per my request! I could not be happier that I decided to go with Earle W Noyes & Sons. I recommend this company with the highest degree of enthusiasm!
