Pricing
How is the moving cost calculated?

Our moves are typically charged at an hourly rate plus HST, which includes:

• Professional movers (typically 3-4 team members)

• Fully equipped moving truck

• Moving equipment and protection materials

• Insurance coverage during the move

• Travel

Every quote is transparent with no hidden fees.

In certain situations, moves may be priced at a flat rate instead of an hourly rate. This is common for specialty items such as pianos, hot tubs, or other oversized items. As well as smaller moves involving a limited number of pieces (typically fewer than 10-15 items). Flat rate pricing for these types of moves help ensure cost predictability for these types of moves.
