How it works
How house moving works in Thunder Bay
-
01
Free quote and inventory
Tell us the home size, addresses, moving date and any specialty items. For larger homes we do a 15-minute video walkthrough so the estimate is accurate.
-
02
Confirm crew, truck and time
You receive a written quote with the crew size, truck, arrival window and hourly or fixed price. A small deposit locks in the date.
-
03
Optional packing day
If you booked packing, our packers arrive the day before with boxes, paper and wardrobe cartons and pack the whole home in a day.
-
04
Moving day: protect and load
The crew lays floor runners, wraps furniture, disassembles beds and tables and loads the truck in a planned sequence so nothing shifts.
-
05
Deliver, place and rebuild
At the new house everything is unloaded to the right rooms, furniture is reassembled and appliances positioned. You walk through with the lead mover before we leave.
Pricing
What affects the cost of house moving in Thunder Bay
We do not publish a one-size-fits-all rate because no two moves are the same. Your quote is built from the size of the job, the access at both ends, the services you add and the date. It is free, written and fixed once the details are confirmed, so the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.
- VolumeMore rooms and more furniture mean more crew hours or truck space.
- AccessStairs, long carries, elevator waits and street parking add time.
- DateMonth-end, weekends and July to September are peak. Mid-month weekdays are cheaper.
- PackingProfessional packing adds cost but reduces moving-day hours and damage risk.
- Specialty itemsPianos, safes, hot tubs and pool tables need extra crew and equipment.
- DistanceLocal moves include a travel fee. Long-distance moves are priced by kilometres and cubic feet.
Good to know
How To Prepare For Moving Day
- Book elevators and parking with both buildings or municipalities a week ahead.
- Label every box with the destination room and a number, and keep an inventory list.
- Pack a first-night bag: bedding, toiletries, chargers, medication, kettle and snacks.
- Every job is quoted individually and in writing, based on the size of the move, the access at both ends and the services you choose. Quotes are free and there are no hidden fees.
- Disconnect washers, dryers and gas appliances, or ask us to arrange it.
- Photograph the back of your TV and electronics before unplugging cables.
- Keep valuables, passports, cash and jewellery with you, not in the truck.
- Clear walkways, driveways and stairs, and shovel or salt in winter.
