University Place Movers | Three Generations Moving

Licensed, insured movers serving University Place and the South Sound — flat-rate, on time, every job.

University Place rides the bluff west of Tacoma, and the views drive everything out here. The streets above Chambers Bay slope down toward the golf course and the water beyond it, and most of what we move is a long-settled family finally letting go of the big house, or a buyer stepping up into a townhome that looks out over the Sound to the Olympics. The grade pulls the lots into a roll, garage aprons tip downhill, and our family has read these hillside approaches since granddad Earl’s day, so we study the pitch before the truck ever backs in.

Homes here hold the heft of people who stayed a long time: a full dining set, an upright in the living room, the framed pieces and quality furniture of a place that was loved. Screens and TVs go under blankets, a baby grand rolls on its proper board, and every item gets wrapped tight against the marine damp that sits on the bluff much of the year. If the downsize sends furniture out in waves, part of the load can wait in our climate-controlled storage. Cole’s W-2 movers run it on our own trucks, with one flat figure set before the first piece comes out the door.

Bluff-Top Homes and View-Lot Approaches

Those tilted driveways above Chambers Bay won’t always take the truck up close, so the crew walks the grade first and parks on solid footing instead of risking a steep, rain-slick apron. An upright in the living room or a townhome over the golf course, we plot the carry and settle the whole price ahead of the date.

★★★★

“We had about a month between homes, so they stored our Tillicum place in the meantime. The unit was clean, kept at temperature, and everything looked exactly like it did going in when it came back to us. Getting a firm date locked for the redelivery did take me a couple of phone calls, which is the reason for four stars and not five, but the day itself the crew showed up on schedule and handled things gently. Honest outfit, priced fairly.”

“Hired them for our 2-bed up in the North End, and most of it went well. The staircase in those old houses is no joke, but the two movers took it slow and nothing on the furniture got chewed up, plus the number Dana quoted didn't move. Where they lost a star with me: they rolled in toward the tail end of the window rather than the start, so the first chunk of the morning was just us standing around waiting. After that, though, no real complaints.”

“Moved our 3-bed near Proctor and these guys were the real deal. Marcus and his crew shrink-wrapped everything against the rain that morning, got the couch down the front steps without a scratch, and rebuilt the beds at the new place while I just pointed where things went. The number on the quote was the number I paid. Would absolutely hire Three Generations again.”

★★★★★

“Studio in the Stadium District, knocked out fast and without any fuss. A pair of guys had me loaded and gone inside a couple of hours, and they were mindful with my record player and the bike heading down the stairs. The flat price was honest and nothing got tacked on at the finish line. Hard to do better than that.”

Questions People Ask Us

We are downsizing in University Place. Can Three Generations Moving & Hauling split the move with storage in the middle?
Yes, and it's common on the bluff. The crew empties the house, places what fits the smaller home, and the rest waits in our climate-controlled storage — roughly $120 to $280 monthly by unit size — until you've decided. One Hagen crew, one flat figure, nothing rushed.
Can you carry a baby grand out of a University Place home above Chambers Bay?
We can. Experienced hands strap it to the proper board, work out the route past any steps and through the living room, and it travels on our truck. Piano work shows on the written estimate up front — an upright is $330 to $490, a baby grand $560 to $850 — so nothing gets added afterward.
My driveway drops steeply to the garage. Can the truck still get to the house?
Most of the time, yes, and the crew checks before anything else. If a steep, wet apron near Chambers Bay makes the approach unsafe, we stage the truck on level ground and carry the extra distance rather than chance the rig on the slope. That detail lands in the plan and the quote ahead of time.
