Pin down a signed Cottonwood figure

Marisol writes back with the North Desert Moving figure inside the same business hour on most weekdays — the paper you hold beforehand is the paper the crew tallies when the last carton hits the mesa-ranch floor.

The details you drop in here land on the Old Town Cottonwood dispatch board and stay there — used strictly to size your Verde Valley haul, kept off any lead-broker roster, never handed to a paid-referral desk, never dropped into a marketing sequence.

I’m Colton Reyes, owner of North Desert Moving. Maricopa County is the big one — Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale — and it’s where a huge share of Verde Valley families end up moving to or from, down AZ-260 to the I-17 interchange at Camp Verde and straight south. We’ve run that corridor since I opened the doors in 2016.

The Phoenix run is a different animal than a Cottonwood-to-Sedona hop: flat freeway miles, valley heat that tops 110°F in summer, and Phoenix-metro apartment complexes with loading-dock reservations and parking permits my crew books ahead of move day.

Towns We Cover in Maricopa County

  • Phoenix — downtown high-rises, sprawling valley subdivisions
  • Scottsdale — resort-corridor homes, gated communities
  • Tempe — ASU-area apartments and rentals
  • Glendale — westside family neighborhoods

Flat-Rate Pricing — Maricopa County

Crew Hourly Rate Includes
2 movers + truck $159/hr Blankets, dollies, shrink-wrap, floor protection
3 movers + truck $209/hr All of the above plus extra hands for a Scottsdale gate-code or high-rise elevator job

One-hour minimum. Flat rate locked in writing before we load — the AZ-260/I-17 drive down to the valley is built into the quote our long-haul lead Reuben Castillo writes up front.

What a Maricopa County Move Looks Like

Most of what we run into Phoenix-metro is full-house relocation — a Cottonwood family taking a Scottsdale job, a Tempe ASU rental turnover, a Glendale household moving up to the Verde Valley for the slower pace. Our long-distance board handles the I-17 haul both directions, and Reuben’s crew knows which valley apartment complexes require a loading-dock window and which don’t.

For the Phoenix end of the job we also run apartment turnovers around ASU and downtown, and commercial office moves for Verde Valley businesses expanding into the valley. Same North Desert Moving crew loads in Cottonwood and unloads in Phoenix — no handoff to a second truck.

“Tanner and Silas were the best! Extremely professional and took the greatest care with our belongings and during periods of rain they made sure everything was protected. They were mindful of the new carpet and made sure it wasn’t messed up in any way. Thanks Tanner and Silas for an excellent relocation experience!”

Yes — North Desert Moving is a fully licensed and insured Cottonwood, AZ moving company with an Arizona household-goods carrier permit and US DOT and MC authority. We run our own trucks and crew the whole way to Phoenix, no broker handoff.

Do you handle Scottsdale gated communities and high-rises?
Regularly. We confirm gate codes and elevator-reservation windows before move day so the truck isn't sitting outside waiting on a guard call.

The three-step Verde Valley playbook

What booking a Cottonwood haul through North Desert Moving actually looks like

1

Message the room count and a date

Ping Marisol with bedroom count, both Verde Valley addresses (flag it early if either end sits up a Jerome switchback or over Mingus Mountain) and whichever weekday you are shooting for — a couple of typing minutes, nothing owed, nothing charged to see the number.

2

You get a dated, binding number

Colton takes what came out of the walk-through, puts his signature on it, and dates it the morning of the lift. Every detail from that call — Jerome switchback carry included — is already priced in, so nothing new shows up once the crew starts loading.

3

The North Desert Moving rig lands on your driveway

Full-time Old Town Cottonwood payroll movers in matching North Desert Moving polos pull up inside the booked window, and the exact five names stay through the last carton set inside the Verde Santa Fe mesa rental or the Old Town adobe storefront great room.

Licensed in Arizona

Arizona household-goods carrier permit licensed, insured & owner-run — on every Cottonwood job

US DOT & MC authorityActive federal authority stands behind us the moment your load leaves Cottonwood, AZ — south on AZ-260 and I-17 toward Phoenix, north on AZ-89A to Flagstaff, or over Mingus Mountain to Prescott.
Arizona household-goods carrier permitAn Arizona household-goods carrier permit sits on file with the state, alongside the US DOT and MC authority above — we are properly licensed to move Arizona households, not a broker farming the job out to whoever picks up the load.
$1,000,000 cargo coverageEvery carton, sectional and headboard riding a North Desert Moving rig out of Cottonwood sits under a seven-figure cargo umbrella from the yard onward; full-value valuation adds on top whenever an Old Town estate collection or a Jerome hillside piano wants heavier bookkeeping.
Workers’ comp & liabilityEvery uniformed crew member punching the clock for North Desert Moving is enrolled in active Arizona workers’ comp plus general liability — a strained back inside your mesa ranch, a slip on a Jerome switchback walkway, a scrape moving out of an Old Town storefront gets billed straight to our policy, not the homeowner.
