Moving your home
Residential work is the bulk of what we do, and the pricing is deliberately boring: from $125 an hour for two movers and a truck, and nothing added at the door.
Residential moving
Apartments, condos and houses across Greater Montreal. Same crew from the first box to the last, furniture wrapped, floors and stairwells covered.

Real numbers by apartment size, what changes the price, and why July 1 is different. Budget before you call anyone.
See moving costsJunk removal
Estate and full home cleanouts by movers rather than a franchise. Sorted, donated and recycled, and you pre-sort nothing.

IKEA, Structube, Wayfair and Amazon flat packs built the day you call, with the boxes leaving when we do.
See furniture assemblyMoving your business
For a business the real cost is never the truck, it is the hours your team spends not working. Commercial moves run after hours and on weekends at no surcharge, so you close Friday and open Monday.
Commercial moving
Offices, restaurants, labs and retail. After-hours sequencing at no surcharge, free site visit, fixed quote before anything moves.
See commercial movingCorporate relocation
Teams of 10 to 500, IT disconnect and reconnect, floor plans mapped to labels so nothing lands in the wrong room.
See corporate relocationHeavy equipment and industrial
CNC machines, presses, refrigeration and generators moved by riggers. Calibration-safe handling so production restarts on schedule.
See industrial movingWarehousing and storage
Shared warehouse space with 3PL pick and pack. Pay for the pallets you use rather than a room you half fill.

Long distance is where most damage happens, and almost always at a hand-off. Freight gets transferred between carriers and nobody owns the problem. We run interlining agreements so your shipment stays accounted for the whole way.
Delivery and last mile
If you sell furniture, appliances or anything a customer waits at home for, the delivery is the moment they physically meet your brand. A bad drop undoes a year of marketing in fifteen minutes. We handle the complexity.
How to choose a moving company in Montreal
This is the real question behind most searches for the best movers in Montreal, and the honest answer is there is no single best one. There is the right one for your job. Five things separate a company that will be fine from one that will cost you money.
- Ask what the minimum actually includes. A three hour minimum and a four hour minimum can be the same bill once transport is added. Ours is four hours: three of work plus one of transport, stated that way on purpose.
- Ask whether insurance is included or sold. Basic liability in Quebec is set by weight, not value, which is how a broken television becomes a $30 settlement. Ours is double coverage, included in the rate.
- Ask if they own the trucks. Brokers subcontract, and on long distance your shipment changes hands at least once. That hand-off is where damage happens and where nobody owns the problem.
- Check the review count, not just the score. Five stars from nine reviews tells you nothing. We are at 4.9 from more than 190.
- Get the quote in writing before the truck is booked. Any company that will not put a number on paper before your date is holding the leverage, not you.
Run those five questions past any Montreal mover, including us. The ones worth hiring answer all five without hesitating.
