Useful Suggestions To Help You Prepare for Your Moving Day

Be Prepared for Moving Day:

Everything should be packed up, sealed, labeled, and ready to go. Labeling boxes help our team put the boxes in the correct rooms, for easy unpacking and efficiency. Our movers can disassemble any furniture at the time of the move quickly and with great care.

Important Arrangements To Make Prior to Moving Day Clear Any Walkways:

List of things (obstructions) to move or remove from stairways, walkways, and driveways to make it safe and easy for the movers.

  • Move plants and planters.

  • Remove all door floor mats and rugs.

  • Remove or hang aside any low-hanging items such as wind chimes or hanging plants, or low-level lighting.

  • Remove or secure open any doors which may interfere with the move.

Reserve an Elevator and Place for Parking:

Since a lot of the streets in Montreal are very narrow, full of parked vehicles on both sides, or winter conditions leaving very little room to find parking for a moving truck, with an extended ramp, it is recommended to try to block a parking spot outside your building as close as possible to allow the movers to work more quickly with less walking distance to incur a lower final moving cost. This can be done the evening before the move with vehicles or chairs attached by a long rope, and a sign attached advising there will be a move going on.
A lot of buildings will require you to reserve an elevator for a specific time slot, as there may be other moves going on the same day, or there may only be 1 elevator in the building, and it can not be reserved during peak hours. Reserving an elevator will allow the movers to perform a more efficient move, again cutting down the cost of the move. Make sure to arrange this ahead of time with your landlord or building manager.
