Local and Residential Move

BOOK A MOVE

Local Residential Moving

The fee for residential and local moving is determined on a per-hour basis.

THE PRICE INCLUDES

A fully qualified professional moving crew of two or three movers, trucks (14 to 26 ft, fully equipped with furniture blankets, dollies and special tools necessary to safely and swiftly complete your move.

The charges begin when we arrive at the pickup location, and continue as the crew loads the truck, drives to your new location (including any repeated trips, if applicable), and unloads the truck at your new location. The charges end when the truck is empty and any required setup is complete.

Most times, there is a one hour minimum labour charge. Once the minimum is reached you are charged half of your hourly rate for every additional half-hour in increments of half-hour.

HOURLY RATES

Hourly rates are used for local moving because the moving time is highly reflective of how well you are prepared for the move. In addition, the moving time is affected by the accessibility of your old and new locations to the movers.

Remember - although we are full-service movers, if you prepare well for the move your move will cost you less. For instance, if you were to take apart the beds and reassemble them at the new house yourself, you could save as much as 45 minutes from your move time. A fully prepared home with good access is moved much quicker than a home where items are being packed as the movers load the truck. Similarly, moving would take longer if there is a 100-yard walk to your new home because the driveway has not been paved yet. Please check our FAQ's for further details and advice.

TRAVEL TIME

Travel time is a flat-rate fee based on the average driving time from our office to your location. It includes time to allow our trucks to get from our office to your home for the pickup and the return time to our office after the completion of your move.

Travel time will be added to your total charge once the move has been completed. There is a minimum charge of one hour of moving time plus travel time. The only exception is if you are only moving a few items.

Travel time does not include any additional driving time between loading and unloading. This is included in your normal hourly fee.

PACKAGING

For the most cost-efficient move, be completely packed and prepared prior to the movers' arrival. Keep in mind that you will be charged the standard hourly rate for the time spent by the movers on packing your belongings.

The movers may provide packing materials at a cost. If you would like the movers to complete/assist you with your packing, please let the estimator know when determining the final estimated cost.

TRUCK EQUIPMENT

The standard equipment of the truck includes shrink wrap and special moving blankets that will be used when wrapping your furniture in order to avoid accidental scratches.

Keep in mind: If specialty tools are required, please let us know in advance so that the movers can prepare and cater to your special needs.
