Residential moving in Québec

A residential move is usually billed by time (an hourly rate per crew and truck) or as a flat price set by the company. The final price depends on its inventory, access at both addresses, distance and the company's own rates: Déménagements.ca does not set prices.

• Crew size

  The proposed number of movers depends on volume and access. A larger crew can shorten the job.

• Truck and route

  Distance between addresses and, for many companies, travel from their warehouse are part of the calculation.

• Reviewed quote

  A binding quote should rest on a confirmed inventory, sometimes after a call or a visit.

• Home size (studio, one-, two- or three-bedroom, house) and approximate number of rooms.
• Large items: appliances, sectionals, beds to disassemble, heavy furniture.
• Approximate number of boxes, and whether you want help with packing.
• Special items (piano, safe, artwork): mention them, as they often require suitable equipment.

• State the floor at both addresses and whether stairs are indoor, outdoor or spiral.
• Elevator: say whether one is available, whether it must be booked and whether there is a service elevator.
• Parking: estimate the distance between the truck and the door, and mention narrow streets, alleys or no-stopping zones.
• In a building, ask management whether the elevator must be booked, walls protected or specific hours respected.

• Submit your request several weeks in advance if your date falls between mid-June and mid-July.
• Say whether your date is flexible: a weekday or a date shifted by a few days can make scheduling easier.
• Some municipalities or boroughs require a permit to reserve curb space for the truck; check with your city.
• Have your boxes ready before the crew arrives: in peak season, every hour counts.
