Residential moving in Montreal.
A well-planned start.
You have found your next home. Now there are boxes to pack, furniture to measure and building access to arrange. For your residential move in Montreal, Demelina plans the transport around your belongings and the practical details of both addresses.
Choose the help you need. We will agree on the services, crew and arrangements with you before you book.
Montreal residential movers for apartments, condos and houses
Square footage is only part of the picture. A third-floor apartment, a condo with an elevator and a house with a basement each need a different plan.
Check the way through
A sofa, refrigerator or tall wardrobe may be difficult to move around a staircase. Show us the furniture and the route out: doorways, tight turns, outdoor steps and the distance to the truck.
Coordinate building access
Elevator reservations, loading areas and key collection can determine your moving schedule. Check the building rules so the crew can plan loading and delivery within the permitted hours.
Include every storage space
The garage, shed and basement add to the contents of the main rooms. Remember outdoor furniture and stored belongings too: a complete inventory helps us plan the crew and vehicle.
Full-service residential moving or transport: choose your help
Some customers pack everything themselves. Others want help with fragile belongings or the whole home. Let’s define the moving service that suits your plans.

How much does residential moving cost in Montreal?
These estimates help you get a sense of the budget. Your inventory, preparation and access must be assessed for a quote that reflects your own move.
| Home | Crew | Estimated time | Estimated price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3½ 1 bedroom | 2 movers | 3–5 hours | $400–$750 |
| 4½ 2 bedrooms | 3 movers | 5–7 hours | $700–$1,200 |
| House | 3–4 movers | 7–10 hours | $1,200–$2,000 |
Before booking, confirm the billing method, travel charges, services, taxes and applicable terms. The moving period also affects the price.
How much you are moving
Boxes, furniture and stored belongings matter as much as room count. An incomplete inventory can underestimate the work.
Access and handling
Stairs, long hallways, elevator availability and parking away from the door all change the time needed to load and unload.
Date and services
The season, crew, packing and furniture preparation affect the estimate. Compare quotes covering the same tasks.
Preparing for a house or apartment move in Montreal
A few practical steps can reduce last-minute searching and unnecessary trips. Start with the details you can arrange ahead of time.
Sort first, then list what is moving
Separate what is coming with you from what stays behind. Include the balcony, locker and garage, and identify furniture to disassemble or items needing special care.
Close and label your boxes
Write the destination room on each box and mark fragile contents. Keep documents, medication, chargers and essentials for your first night with you.
Arrange the route to the truck
Confirm parking, elevator access and moving hours at both buildings. Clear the passageways; in winter, make sure outdoor steps and entrances are accessible.
Tell us when something changes
An extra piece of furniture, a different address or delayed key collection can affect the plan. Contact the team before moving day so arrangements can be reviewed.
In Montreal, start with your building
On the Plateau, an outdoor staircase may make furniture handling more complex. Downtown, elevator time slots can shape the schedule. In Verdun or Villeray, parking and walking distance can affect loading. Photos of the access points explain more than a neighbourhood name alone.
Residential movers across Greater Montreal
Whether you are moving across the island or to a nearby city, both addresses help us plan the route and explain the travel arrangements.
On the island of Montreal
Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont, Ahuntsic, Verdun, Villeray, downtown, Côte-des-Neiges, Saint-Laurent, Anjou and LaSalle: tell us what is particular about your home, wherever you live.
Laval, South Shore and North Shore
We also organize household moves throughout Greater Montreal. For a move to or from Terrebonne, explore our residential moving services in Terrebonne and the details needed for your quote. Share the destination access details and preferred date so the whole project can be assessed.
Long-distance residential moving from Montreal
A move to another city is planned around your volume, dates and access at both addresses. Protection, loading, transport and delivery are organized according to the services agreed with you.
Residential starting prices for selected routes:
For an apartment, condo or house, a complete inventory is the best starting point. Mention any delivery restrictions and belongings requiring special handling.
Your residential moving questions
How long does it take to move an apartment or house?
The estimates on this page range from 3 to 10 hours, depending on the home. Your inventory, access, furniture disassembly and preparation all affect the time required. Share these details for a more useful estimate; a time range is not a guaranteed completion time.
Can I pack my belongings myself?
Yes. You can prepare your boxes and leave the loading, transport and unloading to our team. If you need help with fragile items, a few rooms or the entire home, mention it when requesting your quote so we can agree on the work and packing supplies.
Can you take furniture apart and reassemble it?
Yes, when needed and agreed in advance. Tell us which beds, tables, wardrobes and other items require this service. Photos and assembly instructions help the team prepare the appropriate tools and allow enough time.
How do you protect furniture and fragile items?
Furniture protection is part of the service, using moving blankets, covers and preparation suited to the items being transported. Point out delicate surfaces, mirrors and fragile pieces before handling begins. Items requiring special care should be discussed during the estimate.
Is insurance included?
The service includes insurance. Ask about the terms, limits and exclusions that apply to your move. Tell us about valuable items and any specific needs before booking so you understand the coverage provided.
Will I pay an hourly rate or a fixed price?
This depends on the service. Local moves may be billed by the hour, while long-distance transport or a particular service may be quoted at a defined price after assessment. Your quote should explain the billing method, included work, travel charges and taxes.
Can you help on weekends or at short notice?
Weekend moves are possible. For an urgent move, contact us to check availability and discuss your inventory and access. Your booking time must be confirmed with the team; submitting a request does not reserve a moving slot.
What should I check before moving into or out of a condo?
Confirm the permitted moving hours, elevator reservation, usable elevator dimensions, truck parking and distance to the unit. Check these arrangements with building management at both addresses before moving day.
Do you also serve Laval, the South Shore and the North Shore?
Yes. Demelina serves Montreal and Greater Montreal, including Laval, the South Shore and the North Shore. Send both addresses so we can assess the route and travel arrangements. Moves to other cities can also be evaluated.
How do I confirm my booking?
Start by sending your moving date, both addresses, inventory and access details. After the assessment, review the services, price, schedule and payment terms. Confirm the arrangements with the team and tell us about any changes before moving day.
