Time is of the Essence!

Hiring pros means less time fretting and more time settling into your new space. Professional movers are:

• Swift

• Efficient

• Punctual - They’ve got the moves to make your move snappy!

The Right Tools for the Job

You might have a trusty screwdriver, but professional movers come armed with:

• Moving dollies (2-wheel, 4-wheel) to facilitate loading and unloading of a moving truck

• Furniture blankets (pads) to protect all your furniture and other items that were not packed in boxes and bins

• Straps to carry items

• Shoulder dolly (body harness system) to tandem carry extra heavy and bulky items (up to 1,000 lbs)

• Specialized tools, like piano skids, mattress straps

• Full set of tools to disassemble your most complex furniture items if needed

• Other packing supplies, such as TV boxes, plastic mattress bags, packing tape, plastic stretch film, etc.

No Heavy Lifting Here!

Why break a sweat when you’ve got a professional moving team to do the heavy lifting? Protect your back and let them handle the hard part of the move.

Safety First, Folks!

Professional movers are trained to transport items safely. Their bodies are conditioned to heavy lifting, carrying of heavy and bulky items, navigating narrow and most convoluted pathways of residential homes. They do this day in and day out. This means:

• No dinged walls

• No scratched floors

• No broken valuables

• No wasted time

Packing Pros!

Worried about your grandma’s china? Professional Calgary movers offer packing services that ensure your beloved items are snug as a bug in a rug. Whether full-house pack where you do not need to worry about a thing, or a partial pack when you need help only with the kitchen and dining room and maybe some other fragile items like home décor, paintings, mirrors, electronics, etc. Professionals are flexible and will customize their services to match your needs.

Unpacking? No Problem!

Many moving companies don’t just pack; they’ll help you unpack too. Sweet relief! Normally, unpacking is complete “to top of counter,” meaning that the moving company will empty the boxes to the counter, table, floor, and remove all the boxes, packing paper, and other debris. You will then need to put everything away into cabinets, drawers, closets. Still, unpacking saves a lot of time and effort in such a stressful endeavor.

Storage Solutions

In between homes? No worries! Many moving companies offer storage solutions for your belongings.

Insured and Assured

If, by some slim chance, something goes wrong, most professional movers are insured. This means you’re covered! Ask your movers about various coverage options available. All movers are mandated by federal regulations to offer a complimentary Basic Cargo Protection that will cover your belongings up to $0.60 CAD per lb weight of damaged items.

Cost-Effective in the Long Run

Think of the costs of moving supplies, moving trucks, insurance, liability in case of potential delays and damages. Often, hiring professional Calgary movers is more wallet-friendly in the grand scheme of things.

Flexible Schedules

Most movers offer flexible scheduling, which can be a lifesaver if you need to change your moving date. Of course, pending crew availability. The more in advance you request a move date change, the more likely this request will be accommodated without a hitch.

Customizable Services

From packing just the kitchen to moving only the large items, many companies will let you choose what you need help with. Talk about catering to your needs!

Stress Less

With professionals in charge, there’s no need to fret. Hand over the reins and relax!
