Residential Moving

Apartments, condos, and homes. We pack, load, transport, and set up with care.

Moving a home is a lot of small jobs done right: wrapping furniture, protecting floors and door frames, loading in the right order and setting everything up where you want it. Our residential crews handle all of it, from a one-bedroom apartment to a full family house.

Choose hourly or flat-rate pricing, add packing and unpacking if you want a hands-off move, and get a clear quote before moving day.

Residential movers in Windsor

Home moves planned around your Windsor street

A home move in Windsor is not the same as a move in a big city. The street, the building and the time of year all change how a job is planned. Our crews have moved families in every part of Windsor, and we plan each move around the street you leave and the one you move to.

Walkerville, Riverside and Sandwich Town

Older neighbourhoods such as Walkerville, Riverside and Sandwich Town have many character homes with narrow doorways, steep or winding stairs and limited street parking. We check access before moving day, protect hardwood floors and door frames, and take furniture apart when it will not clear a tight turn.

South Windsor, Forest Glade and the newer subdivisions

In South Windsor, Forest Glade and other newer areas, homes are usually larger and the truck can often park close to the door. Finished basements and second floors are common, so a three or four person crew is often the better fit than a small one.

Moves beyond the city limits

A move between Windsor and LaSalle, Tecumseh, Lakeshore or Amherstburg is a local move for us. If you are moving a shorter distance, see our local movers in Windsor page, and for moves out of the area, our long distance moving service.

Apartments and condos

Apartment and condo moves in Windsor

Moving into or out of an apartment or condo is mostly about the building. Most buildings in Windsor, including the high-rises near the downtown waterfront, ask residents to book the elevator or loading area and may limit move-in and move-out hours.

Tell us your building, your floor and whether there is an elevator when you ask for a quote. We will help you choose a time slot that fits the building rules, and we bring blankets and floor runners to protect elevators, hallways and doors. If your building asks for proof of insurance, tell us early and we will help with it.

Walk-up buildings with stairs only take longer and need more hands, so we plan the crew size for that. Student moves around the University of Windsor and St. Clair College are busiest in late April and at the end of August, so book early if your lease ends then.

Time and crew

How long does a home move in Windsor take?

These are typical times for a move inside Windsor. Stairs, a long walk from the truck, packing and heavy items add time, and we confirm the estimate when we quote.

  • Studio or one-bedroom apartment

    Typical time
    2 to 4 hours
    Crew
    2 movers

    A small apartment or condo with an elevator is the quickest kind of move. Most of the time is loading, the drive across town and unloading.

  • Two-bedroom apartment or condo

    Typical time
    3 to 5 hours
    Crew
    3 movers

    More furniture and boxes, and often an elevator booking. A third mover keeps the building time short.

  • Three-bedroom house

    Typical time
    5 to 8 hours
    Crew
    3 movers

    A standard family house with a basement or garage. Our most common move across Windsor.

  • Four-bedroom or larger home

    Typical time
    7 to 10 hours
    Crew
    4 movers

    Large homes and heavy items such as a piano or safe take a bigger crew, stair-climbing equipment and a longer day.

Pricing

How residential move pricing works in Windsor

We quote hourly or flat-rate pricing and give you the price before moving day, so there are no surprises on the invoice. There are no travel fees for moves inside Windsor and Essex County.

What decides the price

  • The size of your home and how much you are moving
  • The crew size and truck, from a 20 ft truck with two movers to a 30 ft truck with four
  • Stairs, elevators and how far the truck can park from the door
  • The distance between the two addresses
  • Packing, unpacking and materials, if you want them
  • Specialty items such as a piano, pool table or hot tub

How to keep a move affordable

Declutter before the quote, pack small items ahead of time, and take apart what you can. Weekdays and mid-month dates are usually easier to schedule than weekends and month-end. If you would rather not pack, our packing and loading service can do it for you. Call (519) 566-8933 or request a free quote and we will give you a clear price.
