Do you require a deposit?
Yes, a deposit may be required to secure your preferred moving date and confirm your booking.
Moving Day
What happens on moving day?
Our crew arrives at the scheduled time, reviews the plan with you, protects key items as needed, loads the truck, transports your belongings, and unloads them at the destination.
Do I need to be there during the move?
It is best if someone is available at pickup and delivery to answer questions, confirm placement, and help the move go smoothly.
Can you move heavy furniture and appliances?
Yes, we can move many common heavy household items and standard appliances when details are shared in advance. For standalone appliance pickup and placement, see our appliance delivery Calgary service.
How long does a move usually take?
The time depends on the size of the move, distance, access, stairs, elevators, and how prepared everything is before the crew arrives.
Packing & Preparation
Do you offer packing services?
Yes, we can help with packing depending on the scope of your move. Let us know what level of help you need when requesting your quote.
Can I pack myself?
Yes. Many customers choose to do their own packing. We recommend labeling boxes clearly and protecting fragile items properly.
How should I prepare before movers arrive?
Try to have boxes packed, walkways cleared, parking arranged if needed, and important personal items set aside before moving day.
Do you provide moving blankets and equipment?
Yes, our crew uses standard moving equipment and protective materials to help move items safely and efficiently.
Pricing & Deposits
How is the moving cost calculated?
Pricing depends on the size of the move, number of movers required, access conditions, travel time, distance, and any extra services such as packing.
Can you give an exact price without seeing the job?
We can often provide a solid estimate based on the details you share. The more accurate the information, the more accurate the estimate.
Are there extra charges for stairs or long carries?
Some jobs require more labor and time because of stairs, elevators, difficult access, or long walking distances. It is best to mention these details when requesting your quote.
What affects the final price most?
The biggest factors are move size, travel distance, building access, number of movers needed, and whether packing or special handling is required.
