Residential Moving Services in Montreal

Choose exactly the help you need. Full service or just the heavy lifting.

Apartment & Condo Moving Montreal

Third-floor walk-ups, spiral staircases, elevator reservations, and condo move-in rules: this is Montreal moving, and it is our home turf. We handle building booking windows, protect common areas, and when a sofa does not fit the staircase, we hoist it through the balcony. From the Plateau to a condo tower downtown, the crew arrives knowing the building type.

House Moving Greater Montreal

A full house move is a full day of coordination: rooms packed in order, furniture disassembled and labeled, floors protected with runners, doorframes padded before anything heavy passes through. Our house crews run 3 and 4 movers with a truck sized for the whole home, so it happens in one trip, not three.

Packing & Unpacking Services Montreal

Packing is the part people underestimate, and the part that eats the week before moving day. Our packing team arrives with boxes, bins, wardrobe boxes, and paper, packs room by room, and labels everything for the destination. With unpacking service, we place your belongings and take the empty boxes away. Partial packing, kitchen only or fragiles only, is also available.

Home Delivery Montreal: Single Items & Large Purchases

Appliances, kitchen cabinets, pool tables, pianos, jacuzzis, and delicate items like electronics and artwork, delivered on time with GPS tracking. Bought it online, in-store, on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace? If the store does not deliver, we do. Single-item deliveries welcome, moving with us or not.

Senior Moving & Downsizing Services Montreal

Downsizing from a family home takes patience and often help deciding what to keep, donate, store, or let go. Our senior-focused crews pack at a calmer pace, arrange furniture at the new home the way you want it, and coordinate with estate cleanout for what stays behind.

Long-Distance Residential Moving from Montreal

Our own crew and our own truck from your door in Montreal to your door at the destination. No brokers, no subcontractors, no third-party hand-offs, and GPS tracking live from pickup to delivery. Regular routes to Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, the Maritimes, and cross-border to the northeastern US.

How We Protect Your Belongings on Every Move

Moving day has a hundred moving parts. We handle the complexity, and the protection below is on every single job, not an upsell.

Double Insurance, $1.20/lb

Twice the industry standard of $0.60/lb per article, included at no extra cost on every residential move.

Every Piece Blanket-Wrapped

Protective blankets on all furniture, shrink wrap on sofas and mattresses, corner protectors on glass and artwork.

Home Protection Both Ends

Floor runners on hardwood, padded doorframes and banisters, at pickup and at destination.

Hoisting for Oversized Items

Pianos, safes, pool tables, and hot tubs. If it does not fit through the door, we hoist it through the window.

Specialty Item Handling: Pianos, Safes & Pool Tables

Some items need more than a moving blanket. Pianos, safes, pool tables, hot tubs, jacuzzis, and oversized artwork all require specialized handling. Our crew has handled grand pianos, antique armoires, 800-pound safes, and marble dining tables across Montreal. For anything that weighs more than two people can safely carry, see our heavy item moving services.

High-Quality Moving Equipment on Every Truck

Every AKA Moving residential crew arrives with professional-grade equipment: protective blankets for every piece of furniture, mattress covers, sturdy plastic bins and moving boxes, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, moving straps rated for heavy loads, hoisting gear for items that do not fit through doors or staircases, dollies and hand trucks for appliances, and shrink wrap for sofas and upholstered items.

Moving Company Serving Greater Montreal, Laval & the West Island

AKA Moving covers the entire Island of Montreal, Laval, the West Island (Dorval, Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Beaconsfield), the South Shore (Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Lambert, Candiac, Delson), Vaudreuil-Dorion, and the Laurentians.
