The Ascension Experience

We Don't Just Move Your Things.
We Move Your Life.

01

The Call

The moment you call, the stress starts to leave. We listen. We plan. We take it from here.

02

The Preparation

Before move day, you'll know exactly what to expect. No surprises. No anxiety. Just a clear plan.

03

The Move

Quiet precision. Floor runners down. Blankets on everything. Updates every step. Your life, handled with reverence.

04

The Settling

We don't leave until every box is where you want it. We unbox your kitchen — on us. You're home.

Moving is one of life's most stressful moments. We believe it should be one of its most careful.

Our Community

Rooted in Portland

Portland bridge and skyline

Local, Not Corporate

We're not a franchise. We're not a dispatch app. Logan lives here, works here, and answers his own phone. Your money stays in Portland — supporting a local family, not a corporate balance sheet.

Portland neighborhood street

Your Streets, Our Streets

Sellwood-Moreland is home base. We know the tight turns on Tacoma Street, the steep driveways in the West Hills, and why you always need extra floor protection when it's raining in the Pearl.

Portland rain and moody weather

Built for Portland Weather

Yes, it rains. We're ready. Waterproof wrapping, covered loading, floor protection — your grandmother's china stays dry even when the sky doesn't cooperate. No extra charge. Ever.

Green nature and sustainability

Moving With Care, Not Waste

Recycled packing materials. Consolidated trips. Donation drop-offs for what you don't need. Portland takes sustainability seriously. So do we.

Logan Staggs, Founder

The Person Behind the Truck

Meet Logan.

“My grandfather Steve taught me that hard work and honesty are the only things that matter.”

He showed me what it means to show up, do the job right, and leave people better than you found them.

I started Ascension Moving to build something he'd be proud of. When you hire me, you get me — on every job, start to finish. No crew you've never met. No subcontractors. Just honest work from someone who gives a damn.

This isn't just a moving company. It's a promise — to treat your belongings like they're irreplaceable. Because to you, they are.

— Logan Staggs

Straight Talk

We Know What You're Worried About

“Will I get ripped off?”

Our rates are published by the state of Oregon. We round time down, not up. Your estimate is in writing before we touch a single box.

“Will my stuff get damaged?”

We carry full liability insurance. Every item gets blanket-wrapped. Every floor gets runners. And if something does happen — we own it and fix it. No runaround.

“Will they actually show up on time?”

Logan is on every job. If he says 8am, he's there at 7:50. If we're ever late, we make it right.

“Will the final bill be way more than the estimate?”

Oregon law requires us to charge published tariff rates. No fuel surcharges. No stair fees. No surprises. The price is the price.

“Can I trust strangers in my home?”

It's not strangers. It's Logan. The owner. On every single job, start to finish. You hired us — you get us.
