Local movers for apartments, houses and offices
A third-floor studio and a family home need different plans. We adapt the team size and truck loading to your situation.
Apartments and condos
Outdoor stairs, an elevator reservation or a narrow hallway: tell us about access at both addresses. We organize the load to make settling into your new home easier.

Furniture, appliances, boxes and fragile belongings: your inventory helps us plan a suitable team and truck. Label boxes by room to simplify unloading.
Offices and small businesses
Workstations, filing cabinets and office furniture are moved according to your priorities. Share your access restrictions and available hours so we can plan the relocation.

The cost mainly depends on the date, volume, distance between addresses and number of movers. Distant parking or several floors without an elevator can also increase the time needed.
Our truck-and-driver option starts at $90/hour for an equipped truck with a driver, before May 20 and after July 4. This option does not automatically include a full moving crew. Your applicable rate, minimum work time and travel charges must be confirmed in your quote.
To compare offers accurately, ask what is included: the crew, truck, travel, equipment and any additional services.

Illustrative budget estimates, not fixed-price commitments. Your date, access conditions, travel and requested services can change the total. Applicable terms and taxes are specified in your quote.
Furniture protection and equipment for careful transportation
Our teams use blankets, dollies and straps to protect and handle your furniture. The truck is organized to keep the load stable during transportation.
- Professional movers and an equipped truck
- Protective blankets for furniture
- Moving dollies and straps
- Appliance protection suited to each item
Basic insurance coverage is provided under the terms of the contract. Tell us about fragile or unusual items before booking. Televisions without their original box are not insured and are transported solely at the customer’s own risk and responsibility.
How many movers do you need, and how long should you allow?
Volume matters, but access often changes the actual duration. Two homes of the same size can take very different amounts of time if one has an elevator and the other involves three flights of stairs.
Two or three movers are generally suitable for a standard apartment. A house or heavy items may require a larger team. These time estimates help you plan your schedule; they do not guarantee a finishing time.
Estimated duration and team size
| Home size | Number of movers | Approximate duration |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 movers | 2–3 hours |
| 3½ apartment | 2–3 movers | 3–4 hours |
| 4½ apartment | 3 movers | 4–5 hours |
| House | 3–4 movers | 6–8 hours |
Sealed boxes, clear pathways and a reserved elevator can often reduce handling time.

Plan a long-distance move →Questions before booking your local movers
How much does a local move in Montreal cost?
It depends on the crew, truck, date, volume and access conditions. Our sample budgets give an approximate range. To confirm your hourly rate, minimum work time and travel charges, request a quote with both addresses.
Can you move just a few pieces of furniture?
Yes. We can arrange a small move or transport a few items. Provide the item list, dimensions and access details so we can plan the right service.
Are moving blankets and dollies provided?
Yes. Our crews bring the blankets, dollies and handling equipment needed for the agreed service. Full packing, supplies and specialized services should be specified in your request.
When should I book my local movers?
Ideally, allow two to three weeks. Between May and July, especially around July 1, booking earlier is advisable. For an urgent move, contact us to check availability.
Do I need to arrange parking and reserve the elevator?
Check the rules at both buildings and the applicable parking requirements. Nearby truck access and an available elevator make the work easier. Tell us about restrictions before moving day.
How can I get a more accurate moving estimate?
Send your date, addresses, floor numbers, elevator details and furniture inventory. Photos of bulky items and building access can help us prepare your estimate.
