How much does a move cost?

Every move is different. We price based on distance, home size, and services needed — and we give you the full price in writing before moving day. Request a free quote for an exact number.

How far in advance should I book?

Two to four weeks is ideal, especially during summer (our busiest season). But we often accommodate last-minute moves — call us and we’ll do our best.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We’re fully licensed and carry comprehensive liability coverage plus cargo protection. Your belongings are covered from pickup to delivery.

Do you provide packing materials?

Yes. We offer full packing services with all materials included, and we also sell quality boxes, wrap, and padding if you’d rather pack yourself.

Can you move specialty items like pianos or safes?

Absolutely. We have the equipment and training for pianos, safes, hot tubs, and other heavy or delicate items. Mention them when requesting your quote so we bring the right gear.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in Calgary and serve Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and communities across Alberta and the wider Prairies. See our Service Areas page for details.

Do you move on weekends?

Yes — we move seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Weekend slots fill up fast in summer, so book early.

What if my new home isn’t ready yet?

No problem. We offer secure short- and long-term storage — we’ll hold your belongings and deliver when you’re ready.
