Packing & Unpacking Services
You have the flexibility to choose the services that best suit your needs, whether it is packing services, unpacking services, or both. Let us handle the time-consuming task of packing your belongings with care and expertise.
Our professional packing team will ensure that your items are securely packed, labeled, and organized for a smooth transition to your new home. With our unpacking services, we will help you settle in quickly by unpacking and arranging your belongings, allowing you to relax and enjoy your new space.
Disassembly and Assembly Services
Our skilled team takes care of the disassembly and assembly of your furniture and other items, including TV installation, hanging family portraits or art on the wall, and ensuring your belongings are secure during transport. We will ensure that your items are carefully disassembled, securely packed, and then reassembled with our tools in your new home, saving you time and effort.
Home Delivery
We offer home delivery of large items (appliances, kitchen cabinets, pool tables, pianos, jacuzzis) or delicate items (electronics, lamps, artwork) whether they were purchased online or in-store. We also handle single-item deliveries. If you made a purchase on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace, we can take care of it. If a store does not provide delivery, call us. Whether you are moving to a new home or not, we do on-time deliveries with GPS tracking.
Storage, Junk Removal & Specialty Services
Storage
Our indoor storage facility with 24/7 surveillance is available at great rates. Whether you are doing a residential move or not, the storage service is available for any situation you might need it for. Short-term between moves, long-term while you figure out your next step, or just because you need extra space. We are proud to be accredited by the Better Business Bureau, ensuring that you can trust us with your storage needs.
Junk Removal Service
We also offer junk removal services. If you have items to dispose of, recycle, or donate, we are here to make it easier for you by taking care of it completely. We guarantee environmentally responsible disposal. We can get your junk from inside your home or on the curb.
Senior and Downsizing Moves
Downsizing from a family home to a smaller space requires patience, care, and often help deciding what to keep, donate, store, or dispose of. AKA Moving provides senior-focused moving services that include packing, furniture arrangement at the new home, and coordination with estate cleanout services for items that are not making the trip.
Long-Distance Residential Moves
When you are moving out of Montreal to another city, AKA Moving runs long-distance residential moves with 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. GPS tracking is live from pickup to delivery. We run regular routes to Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, the Maritimes, and cross-border to the northeastern US. For more details, see our long-distance moving from Montreal page.
Protection, Insurance & Peace of Mind
At AKA Moving, the safety of your belongings is our top priority. Every residential move includes double insurance coverage, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your items are protected from the moment we pick them up to the moment we set them down in your new home.
How We Protect Your Belongings
- Every piece of furniture is wrapped in protective moving blankets
- Sofas and mattresses are shrink-wrapped to prevent staining and tearing
- Glass, mirrors, and artwork are packed with corner protectors and custom sleeves
- Hardwood floors are protected with adhesive-free runners at both locations
- Doorframes and banisters are padded before heavy items pass through
Specialty Item Handling
Some items need more than a moving blanket. Pianos, safes, pool tables, hot tubs, jacuzzis, and oversized artwork all require specialized handling. If your piece does not fit through the staircase or the doorway, we use hoisting to bring it through a window or over a balcony. 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.
