Laval Movers
One Bridge From Our Door
Moving company for every Laval sector, at the same rate as Montreal, with the lit-sign parking rules, the écocentres and the bulky-pickup system explained.
Fourteen former towns
Which Laval sector is your move in?
Laval is one island, 14 former municipalities merged in 1965, and about 460,000 people. The 2021 census counts 76,000 detached houses, 52,000 low-rise apartments, 16,500 units in towers and 31,000 condos. The sector decides the move: an elevator booking around Montmorency, a driveway load in Fabreville, a single bridge onto the Îles-Laval.
| Sector | What the crew finds | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Chomedey | The densest sector: 1960s bungalows and duplexes, rental towers along boulevard Chomedey and Saint-Martin, Carrefour Laval and Centropolis next door. Chomedey page. | Lit dynamic parking signs since winter 2025-26; elevator bookings in the towers. |
| Laval-des-Rapides | New condo towers around Montmorency, Place Bell and the Collège; older plexes and post-war cottages toward the river. Laval-des-Rapides page. | Freight-elevator slots, loading docks, lit signs. |
| Pont-Viau | The pre-war duplex and triplex grid at the foot of the bridge; walk-ups with exterior stairs, tight streets. | Lit signs; on-street parking is scarce, plan the curb. |
| Duvernay | Mid-century bungalows and split-levels, the El Rancho ranch houses of the 1950s, Duvernay-Est newer builds. Duvernay page. | Driveway loads; the Pont Papineau-Leblanc for Montreal. |
| Vimont and Auteuil | 1970s to 2000s cottages and semis around the Vimont exo station and Route 335. Vimont page. | Volume, not access: garages and basements. |
| Sainte-Rose and Fabreville | Vieux-Sainte-Rose heritage core with 19th-century houses on narrow streets; Fabreville's large tract subdivisions. Fabreville page. | Truck position in the old village; the écocentre is on Dagenais Ouest here. |
| Sainte-Dorothée and Laval-Ouest | REM station on chemin du Bord-de-l'Eau since November 2025, new condos following it; converted summer cottages in Laval-Ouest. Laval-Ouest page. | Small lots, short driveways. |
| Laval-sur-le-Lac and Îles-Laval | Waterfront estates on lac des Deux Montagnes; four islands with one road bridge. Laval-sur-le-Lac and Îles-Laval pages. | Long driveways, white-glove items, truck turnaround on the islands. |
| Saint-François and Saint-Vincent-de-Paul | The semi-rural eastern tip with new subdivisions off the A-25; the old village core by the Centre de la nature. | The toll bridge (A-25) or Pont Pie-IX into Montreal. |
Same rate as Montreal
How much do movers cost in Laval?
$125 an hour for two movers and a truck, $150 for three, 3-hour minimum, plus one hour of transport, exactly as on the island of Montreal, because Laval is inside our standard zone. One bridge, no surcharge, no fuel or mileage fee, no hidden fees.
The hours that are really up to the building
In a Montmorency tower, the freight elevator is the clock: a booked slot keeps a two-bedroom to about four hours of loading, an unbooked one adds waits on every trip. In Pont-Viau, the clock is the curb; a truck parked two streets away because nothing was free can turn a three-hour load into five. In Laval-sur-le-Lac, the clock is the inventory, where antiques and art get wrapped piece by piece. Tell us which it is and the calculator and pricing guide will land close to the written quote.
Two écocentres, two pickup systems
How do you get rid of furniture and appliances in Laval?
Laval has two free drop-off sites on boulevard Dagenais Ouest, open seven days a week, and two ways to have bulky items collected: the monthly zone pickup, or a reservation through Mon dossier that recycles what it can. Fridges and air conditioners are never taken at the curb.
Écocentre de Vimont and the Fabreville site
1205 boulevard Dagenais Ouest takes hazardous waste; 4026 boulevard Dagenais Ouest takes soil. Mon and Tue 8 h 30 to 17 h 30, Wed to Fri 8 h to 19 h 30, weekends 8 h to 17 h 30. Driver's licence at a Laval address. 3 m³ per visit, 12 m³ a year for wood, debris and soil, then $29 per m³. Mattresses, sofas, appliances, fridges, electronics, gypsum and tires accepted; dump trailers refused.
Monthly pickup, or by reservation
By zone: 11 collections a year, dates by address on laval.ca, everything to landfill. By reservation: request in Mon dossier, get a date per category, items recycled. Both: 2 m³ per address, 1.80 m long, two-person lift, out after 19 h the day before. Businesses may not put bulky items at the curb at all.
The fridge rule, and the shortcut
Refrigerant appliances go to the écocentre or to a free GoRecycle pickup, never the curb. The shortcut for everything else is the moving truck: the dead washer and the basement pile ride along on moving day and get sorted for donation and recycling. Stand-alone cleanouts are on the junk removal page.

Truck parking on moving day
Do you need a permit to park a moving truck in Laval?
Not for the truck. Laval's permit covers containers, stored material and fixed obstacles on the street, with a declaration for delivery trucks blocking a lane outside rush hour. A moving truck in a legal on-street space is a parked vehicle. What catches people here is the lit sign, the driveway rule, and the alternate-side winter switch.
Lit sign means no parking today
Chomedey, Pont-Viau and Laval-des-Rapides run dynamic lit signs year-round. Lit: that side of the street is closed, usually 8 h to 17 h, weekends included. Off: park. Signs light up hours ahead, and Info-Stationnement shows them live.
Alternate sides, October 1 to April 30
No blanket overnight ban. In sectors with static alternate-parking signs, the allowed side switches when snow operations run. Map, app, SMS alerts, or 450 680-2800 before a winter move.
Containers: permit, 10 business days
A pod or container needs an occupation permit through Mon dossier: $53 to issue, then a daily rate by width from $26 on a local street, first 24 hours free in a legal parking zone. The moving truck needs none of this.
Never across a driveway, even yours
By-law L-6070 bans parking in front of any driveway entrance, including your own: $87, plus $75 if the vehicle is moved. The truck stays on the road with the ramp clear of the entrance.
Snow stays on your lawn
Dumping snow on the street, sidewalk or median is $107 on first offence. A cleared, salted path from the door to the curb before 8 h is the fastest hour you will save on a January move.
Condo towers: book the dock
Around Montmorency, Cartier and the REM stations, the building sets the rules: freight elevator reservation, loading-dock window, protective pads. Book the slot when you book the move, and send us the building's sheet.

Storage fifteen minutes over the bridge
Condo deliveries around Montmorency and the REM stations slip, and the lease at the old place ends anyway. Our warehouse in Lachine is one bridge from Laval, so a late closing becomes a short hold: we load once on the lease date, keep everything on the same inventory list, and deliver when the keys are real. No locker rental, no second company. The warehousing page explains how storage is billed.

Questions
Laval moving questions we hear most
Q Is moving to Laval more expensive than moving within Montreal?
No. Laval is in the same standard zone as the island of Montreal: $125 an hour for two movers and a truck, $150 for three, a 3-hour minimum and one transport hour, with no bridge or fuel surcharge. The crew is fifteen minutes away in Lachine. The price difference between two Laval moves comes from the building, not the city.
Q What does the lit parking sign on my street mean for the moving truck?
When the dynamic sign is lit, that side of the street is closed to parking, usually from 8 h to 17 h including weekends, and the truck has to work from the other side or a cross street. The signs run year-round in Chomedey, Pont-Viau and Laval-des-Rapides and light up hours ahead. Check Info-Stationnement for your street the evening before and tell us which side is open.
Q How do I book bulky-item pickup in Laval if my move is not on the collection date?
Use the reservation service: log in to Mon dossier, choose the bulky-item request under registrations, and the City emails you a pickup date per category, with the items recycled rather than landfilled. Limits are 2 m³ per address and 1.80 m per item. Fridges, freezers and air conditioners are excluded; they go to the écocentre or to GoRecycle's free pickup. Or they ride in the moving truck.
Q Can a storage container sit in front of my house in Laval during the move?
Only with a public-road occupation permit from Mon dossier, requested ten business days ahead: $53 to issue, then a daily rate by width starting at $26 on a local street, with the first 24 hours free if the zone is a legal parking area. On a driveway, no permit is needed. The moving truck itself never needs one.
Q Which écocentre takes mattresses and sofas in Laval?
Both sites on boulevard Dagenais Ouest take mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture: the Écocentre de Vimont at 1205 and the dry-materials site at 4026 in Fabreville. Free with a driver's licence at a Laval address, up to 3 m³ per visit, open seven days. Only Vimont takes hazardous waste and only Fabreville takes soil.
Q Do you move from Laval into a Montreal borough, and whose parking rules apply?
Every week, over any of the seven bridges, at the same rate. The destination's rules apply at the destination: on the Montreal side, reserving the curb takes the borough's temporary occupation permit and rented signs, which is the customer's to arrange or ours for a $60 charge. Our Montreal moving-truck permit guide covers all 19 boroughs.
Q The old Laval neighbourhood pages on your site: are they still right?
The sector pages for Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides, Duvernay, Vimont, Fabreville, Laval-Ouest, Laval-sur-le-Lac and the Îles-Laval are still live and linked above, but this page carries the current rules for parking, écocentres, bulky pickup and the 2026 changes. When the two disagree, this page is the one that was checked against laval.ca this fall.
