Full Packing Service

We can provide a full-packing service using our supplies. Whether you have large mirrors, 65 TVs, or large paintings, we can professionally wrap all of them. Fragile items will be taken care of with a customized approach. All appliances will be wrapped in bubble wrap, packed properly, and labeled with the room name they came from to make the unloading process go smoothly.

Loading

Once the full packing service is done, it is time for the loading process which sometimes can be very challenging. Should we load through the back door or a side one? Is there a long-distance carry with elevators? Do we have poor access for a truck & trailer, and therefore, is using a shuttle a must? - All those difficulties can be foreseen beforehand, and an efficient strategy should be used to allow for an easy, straightforward loading process.

Local Moving

99% of all our moves take place in only 1 day. Whether itโ€™s an apartment, house, or storage, weโ€™ll create a unique strategy for the smoothest relocation in your Calgary area. Entrust your move to our local moving company for a trouble-free move to your dream house!

Unloading

Every drop-off address is different. The more info our local moving company has about your drop-off, the faster the move will go. Our trucks are equipped with both rear ramps and side ramps for faster unloading. Provided every item is labeled, the crew wonโ€™t ask the customer every time where that item is going. Since only the customer knows where the furniture goes, it is very important to have them direct our moving crew.

Storage Moves

When youโ€™re trying to find the best local movers in Calgary, remember that we have a lot of experience moving to/from storage facilities. This type of move differs from the others because of the specific sequence of loading and unloading a storage unit. Contact our office for a quote and have an unforgettable experience with our local Calgary movers!

Overnight Storage in Trucks or Trailers

You have to be out on the 25th, but your possession is only on the 1st, and you need storage? We can help you with a short-term storage solution in a truck, so you donโ€™t have to spend your money on unloading, conventional storage for only 5 days, and then reloading it back on the truck. Use this smart option to save your $$ and enjoy an outstanding experience with us!

You can also contact us if you need help with moving other heavy items like safes, toolboxes, treadmills, etc. There will be an extra charge for this service.

Local Moving Tips When Doing Moves in Calgary and Area

  • Always create a budget, whether you decide to hire a professional local moving company in Calgary or relocate on your own. Knowing your budget will help you plan the relocation.
  • In order to save money, it is vital to compare different moving quotes. If there is a chance to move in the middle of the month, utilize this option, as there are lower moving rates for this period of time.
  • Doing a move yourself and renting a truck will help you save money, but remember that you will have to do the heavy lifting, and sometimes it is not safe, not to mention the damaged items.
  • Instead of purchasing brand-new packing supplies, find used ones from your friends or Facebook groups. Your blankets and towels can be used as protective padding for delicate items.
  • Make sure the new houseโ€™s utility services are working prior to your move-in.
Packing may seem like a straightforward phase in your move, but if you donโ€™t have a strict plan on how you are going to do this, you may get stuck in the process, and there will be significant delays that can affect your moving day.
  • Make a plan for what packing materials you will need and in what quantities.
  • Once you find all the necessary supplies, sort them out by room and have a plan of how much time youโ€™re planning to spend on each room.
  • Use towels, paper, and bubble wrap to pack breakables and electronics.
  • Label all the boxes with the name of the room theyโ€™re coming from.
  • When loading a truck, follow this simple rule for miscellaneous tiers: heavy items on the floor, then semi-heavy items go as a second layer, leave the third layer for light items and the fourth layer for super light items. Make sure that nothing is sticking out of the tier or `wall in order to build another one without losing space.
When utilizing these moving strategies, youโ€™ll have more confidence that damage wonโ€™t occur.
  • Get rid of the old furniture that you donโ€™t need in your new house by arranging a garage sale, giving it away to your friends, or simply donating it to GoodWill or the Salvation Army.
  • Make sure bulky items, like couches or tall cabinets, will fit into the new house.
