About 18% of our weekly job board is Scottsdale — more than any other suburb. The mix is split roughly equally between high-rise luxury condos in Old Town (Optima Camelview, Envy, Mark-Taylor properties), gated golf-community homes in North Scottsdale (DC Ranch, Grayhawk, Troon, Estancia), and apartment moves around Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland.

Scottsdale moves come with paperwork. Most luxury complexes require a Certificate of Insurance naming the property owner as additional insured, plus a moving deposit refundable after walkthrough. Some require booking the freight elevator 72 hours ahead. Gated communities need gate codes and sometimes vehicle approval. We handle all of it as part of booking — you don't need to chase property management.

Our 27th Ave warehouse is about 22 miles from Old Town Scottsdale, 28 miles from North Scottsdale. Drive time runs 30-45 minutes off-peak, up to an hour during morning rush. We bake the drive time into the hourly clock, but we don't add a separate travel surcharge.

Marcus Delgado, founder of Desert Ridge Moving Co.

Marcus Delgado Founder & Owner

Meet the owner

"We started with one truck off 27th Ave. 14 years later we're still on 27th Ave."

I'm Marcus Delgado. I grew up in Mesa — third-generation Arizonan on my mom's side, my abuelo came up from Sonora in the 60s. Before Desert Ridge I spent eight years dispatching for a Mayflower agent in the West Valley.

In 2012 I bought a used Freightliner with my two brothers and rented bay 4 of a warehouse off North 27th Ave. We did three jobs that first week. We're still in the same building, just with five more trucks and fourteen people on payroll.

What's stayed the same: I personally pick up the phone after 6pm. We don't pay our dispatchers commission so they have no reason to oversell you a packing kit you don't need. And every crew has at least one bilingual mover — we serve Phoenix the way Phoenix actually is.

What Phoenix is saying

"Moved out of a 4th-floor unit at Optima Camelview to a house off Hayden. They booked the freight elevator three days ahead, sent the COI without me asking, and were done in under five hours. The doormen at Optima know them by name."

"Solid move overall. Crew was 25 minutes late at pickup — they called ahead to let me know about traffic on the 101, which I appreciated. They nicked one corner of a wood dresser. Marcus offered $60 to settle it on the spot. Honest people."

"DC Ranch home with a lot of glass-top furniture. Foreman walked the property, marked every fragile, and not a single chip. Quote was $2,400, final bill $2,420. Used them again for my parents in Sun City."

"Downsizing after 32 years in the same house. The guys were patient with my labeling system and didn't push to upsell packing materials I didn't need. Estimate was within $40 of the final bill."

"Long-distance to Denver. Loaded Friday in Chandler, delivered Tuesday morning in Lakewood. One small dent on a dresser, they Venmo'd me $75 same day to settle it. Honest about what insurance does and doesn't cover."

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book my Phoenix move?

For local moves we usually have spots within 7–10 days. May through August is our heaviest season — book 3 weeks out if you want a Saturday. For long-distance we need 2–3 weeks lead time to schedule the route.

Do you charge by the hour or flat rate?

Local moves under 50 miles are hourly — flat hourly with no fuel surcharge. Long-distance is a flat per-job quote based on weight and distance. We do an in-home or video walkthrough before quoting anything over a studio.

What happens if my stuff gets damaged?

Standard liability is 60¢ per pound per item — that's federal minimum, included free. Most customers add Full Value Protection at $9 per $1,000 of declared value. We document any damage on the spot and settle within 7 days.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — USDOT 1734502, MC-823491, Arizona Weights & Measures #WM-AZ-09827. We carry $1M goods-in-transit coverage and full Workers' Comp under Arizona ICA. Certificate of Insurance available on request.

Do you move pianos and pool tables?

Yes. We move uprights and baby grands regularly — 4-man crew, blankets, dollies, board for stairs. Slate pool tables we disassemble, transport, and re-level on-site (we charge a flat $450 in metro Phoenix).

Phoenix heat — does it damage my stuff in the truck?

Trucks hit 130°+ inside in summer. We load heat-sensitive items last (electronics, vinyl, candles, wine, medications) so they're in the truck the shortest time, and our long-distance loads run with insulated blankets over those crates. Full breakdown on our packing services page.
