Movers in Markham, Ontario

Markham homes are big, and many are new, so Zero Hour Moving plans most moves here around a full family household, a closing date and careful handling of fresh floors and stairs. Our crews serve detached houses, townhouses and condos across the city, and we handle moves to the rest of York Region and to other provinces.

Markham is part of York Region. Our crews move people across the whole region.

Big homes and new builds: moving help in Markham

Detached houses are the most common home in Markham, and about half of all homes have four bedrooms or more, so a typical move covers several bedrooms plus a basement and garage. The housing is young, too. Close to half of it was built since 2001, including newer communities such as South Unionville and Upper Unionville, and those moves often hinge on a firm closing date. Condos and townhouses round out the mix: condo moves need elevator bookings and dock time, and multi-level townhouses mean more stair carries.

Highway 404 and Highway 407 cross Markham and Steeles Avenue runs along its southern edge, so most neighbourhoods are close to a major route. Moving-day parking needs a plan. Markham bans overnight street parking except where signs allow it, and it won't grant overnight exemptions to commercial vehicles such as cube vans or trailers, so a loaded truck can't be left on the street overnight; we plan loading and departure around that. During snow clearing and winter maintenance, all street parking is prohibited. Clearing out first? A dumpster or bin on the road needs a road occupancy permit, while bulky items like broken furniture and mattresses can go out on your clear-bag garbage day. Winters are cold and snowy, so leave some flexibility in a January date, and check the City of Markham website for current rules.

We work across Markham, from Thornhill and Milliken to Unionville, Markham Village, Cornell and Berczy Village, plus the farm properties north of Major Mackenzie Drive. Richmond Hill is roughly 14 km away, and our crews are often in Pickering, Whitchurch-Stouffville, Aurora and Vaughan. Because Thornhill sits on both sides of the Markham–Vaughan boundary, we check which city your address is in before planning parking and waste pickups. For a move to another province, we pack, load and drive the long-distance leg from your Markham door. Tell us about your home and moving date, and we'll send a quote.
