We Understand Your Moving Needs

We all know that moving can be stressful. We will do our best to give our customer’s as easy of a moving experience as is possible given the circumstances that they face. We understand that budget and time constraints are different for each customer and we will do our best to meet these different needs and give options suited to the case.

We can recommend professional cleaners as needed for the pre-move phase.

We have experienced packers and packing supplies as needed.

We can recommend various places that may take your unwanted household items. Otherwise, we can dispose of whatever cannot be donated.

We can recommend storage units and storage promotions that may work for what the customer needs.

We’d like the customer to be happy helping as much or as little as they would like through the moving process. We can blanket and shrink wrap all of the furniture in the home or just the expensive pieces. We would ask that the customer be clear on what kind of service they would like and we will do our best to oblige.

SMALL MOVES

VEHICLE SIZE

For small moves, we use a 3/4 ton van that is 5’x5’x9′ with about 4’x4′ back doors.

This is good for queen size beds as long as they are not too thick.

This is the best way to move smaller items and loads.

$50/HR FOR VEHICLE + MOVER

$30/HR PER EXTRA MOVER

There is a gas/travel fee that depends on where we start and where we finish.

MID-SIZE MOVES

VEHICLE SIZE

For moves up to a standard two bedrooms condo we use a cube van that is about 16’x7’x7′.

$70/HR FOR VEHICLE + MOVER

$30/HR PER EXTRA MOVER

There is a gas/travel fee that depends on where we start and where we finish.

BIG MOVES

VEHICLE SIZE

For moves equivalent to a standard three-bedroom condo or more we use a 20′ cube van that will be about 8′ wide and 8.5′ high with a power lift tail gate.

$90/HR FOR VEHICLE + MOVER

$30/HR PER EXTRA MOVER

There is a gas/travel fee that depends on where we start and where we finish.

There is a 5% GST charge as well.

We provide a small amount of shrink wrap and a roll of tape at no charge for every move. If there is going to be a lot of shrink wrap we will charge you for your own roll. If you need extra moving supplies, we will provide and bill you for the supplies you need.

Breaks will not be charged. The driver will estimate the downtime needed for breaks and eating and take that time off when the bill is tallied at the end of the day.

Protecting your home and your items during the move.

How much padding and protection that we use will depend on what the customer wants. There will always be a safe level of protection used however we can take extra care as requested.

Floor runners can be used to protect the floors or a staging area can be made and the shoes removed as needed.

Items will be taken to the requested rooms and garbage and packing will be removed at the finish of the move.

How Many Movers Should I Hire?

The standard move comes with two movers. Some customers may want to help themselves but if there are large items we always ask that you order two movers so that there aren’t complications and the move may go smoothly.

If there are very heavy pieces then we ask that you hire enough people to make the lift and transport safe. It is never worth it trying to do too much and then damaging the item or the home.

How much time to plan for the move?

How long a move will take depends on a few factors.

How much packing and packaging do you need? Expensive items usually should be blanket and shrink wrapped in the home to save the chance that they may touch a wall. Most items are quite safe to blanket wrap in the truck which is a much faster way to do a move.

What is the access like? Are there stairs or long walks? Where is the loading zone? How are the elevators if there are any? (please be sure to book them ahead of time if they are there).

How much do you want to help? Some clients want to be part of the process and others don’t. Relax and be clear about what you want to do or don’t want to do.

Where is the move going from and to? What is the traffic like at that time? If at all possible, it is better not to be traveling thru the rush hour times. 10am to 3pm and after 7pm are good times to be on the road usually. Weekends are usually better for travel as well.

Every move has its own special conditions that dictate how long it will take. That being said some sample times for standard moves with two movers with little packing and special wrapping may be.

Studio, 2-3 hours

1 bedroom, 3-4 hours.

2 bedroom, 4-6 hours.

3 bedroom, 6-8 hours.
