A 1910 Ballard craftsman, a Belltown tower condo, a Sammamish two-story, a floating home on the lake. Seattle's housing stock is the most varied on the West Coast, and every type asks something different of a moving crew. We plan to the property, not to a template.

Craftsman, condo, townhome, view home, or houseboat: the crew size, equipment, and protection plan are built for your exact property.
The mover who treats every home the same is the mover who gets surprised on moving day. A century-old craftsman has doorways that swallow no modern sofa without disassembly. A tower condo runs on freight elevator windows. A hillside view home decides where the truck parks before you do. Royalty Moving & Storage walks the property first, builds the plan around what it finds, and prices the whole thing flat before anything is scheduled. The walkthrough takes under an hour for most homes and pays for itself the moment the crew arrives already knowing the staircase.
That plan covers crew size, equipment, protection, and timing: floor runners and rail wraps in the old houses, dock reservations in the buildings, shuttle vehicles on the lanes a full truck cannot work. One coordinator runs it from walkthrough to final placement. Weekend and evening slots exist precisely because closings and lease deadlines ignore business hours.

Pre-war framing means narrow doors and tight stair turns. Pieces get measured, disassembled where needed, and routed before they move an inch.
Condo and apartment buildings run on certificates, elevator bookings, and dock windows. The paperwork is done days before the truck arrives.
View homes sit above stair runs and below street grade across the metro. We scout the carry and stage smaller vehicles when the lane demands it.
Old-growth fir floors and century-old millwork deserve runners, jamb covers, and rail wraps before the first carry, every time.
Eastside and suburban two-stories carry big inventories up real staircases. Crews are sized for the volume and the climb.
School calendars, work weeks, and closing dates rarely cooperate. We build the schedule around yours, including weekends.
The same four-stage system on every residential job, scaled to the house. The same structure scales from a condo to a six-bedroom without changing shape.
In person or by video, we see the home, the access, and the inventory before quoting anything.
One written number covers crew, truck, protection, and timing. It does not move.
Building bookings, parking, and route timing are resolved before the crew rolls.
Protection goes in first, everything travels wrapped, and each piece lands in the room you choose.
The services that most often ride along with a Seattle home move.
Crosstown and metro moves with flat pricing and crews that know every neighborhood.
Boxes, materials, and careful hands for part of the home or all of it.
Heavy and awkward pieces moved, disassembled, and rebuilt without drama.
Whole-home moves covering every room, the garage, and the yard.
Secure holding when the new home is not ready for everything yet.
Patient pacing and downsizing support for life's bigger transitions.
Residential crews run daily across Seattle, the Eastside, the south end, and Snohomish County. Whatever the property type, the crew that arrives has moved its twin somewhere in the metro within the last month.
Two ways to move a home. Only one of them survives contact with Seattle housing. The mover who has not seen the property is guessing, and the guess always favors the mover.
The residential standard, on every job, at every price point.
Tell us about the property and the destination. The walkthrough is free, the rate is flat, and the crew arrives knowing the house.
It tracks the home: a one-bedroom condo prices in the hundreds, a large hillside house in the low thousands. Inventory, stairs, and building access drive the number more than distance does. The walkthrough produces one flat written rate, and that rate is the bill. The number you sign is the number you pay, which is the entire point of pricing from a walkthrough.
