VANCOUVER’S MOVING CHALLENGES
We Know Vancouver
Common Vancouver Challenges:
- Narrow Streets & Limited Parking – West End, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant have limited street parking. We plan parking ahead and work with building managers when needed.
- Multi-Story Walk-Ups – Moving to a third-floor apartment without an elevator? We’ve done this hundreds of times.
- Building Access Restrictions – Some buildings restrict move-in hours or require permits. We contact your building ahead and follow all rules.
- Tight Stairwells & Doorways – Your couch might need to go around a corner at an angle. We know how to navigate this.
- Basement or Underground Parking – We navigate tight parking garage access without issue.
- Avoiding Damage – We protect walls, floors, and door frames with padding and blankets so your damage deposit stays safe.
We’ve moved through every Vancouver neighborhood: Kitsilano, West End, Mount Pleasant, East Vancouver, Downtown, North Shore, and throughout the Lower Mainland.
