Why Professional Renovation Moving
DIY Furniture Storage Doesn't Work
You could rent a storage unit, hire random people to move furniture, and hope nothing gets damaged. Or you could hire professionals who specialize in this.
Why Professional Renovation Moving Makes Sense:
- Contractors need completely clear space to work safely and efficiently
- Furniture left in the house gets covered in dust and construction debris
- Temperature and humidity swings in an under-renovation home damage wood, finishes, and upholstery
- Standard storage units lack climate control -- summer heat and winter cold damage items
- Coordinating multiple removal and return trips wastes time and money
- Protecting furniture yourself requires time, plastic sheeting, and constant monitoring
- Professional timing aligns furniture removal with contractor start date and return with completion
- Liability -- if a contractor damages furniture in your home, who pays?
- Floor protection during removal and return prevents scratches and dents
- Professional handling means nothing gets damaged during the move
Clear the space completely, store items safely, return everything in perfect condition when your home is finished. That's the smart approach.
How It Works Section
Our Renovation Moving Process
Step 1: DISCUSS YOUR RENOVATION TIMELINE
Call 604-987-8655 and tell us your renovation schedule. When does it start? How long will it take? When will you need furniture back? We coordinate around your contractor's timeline.
Step 2: PRE-RENOVATION WALKTHROUGH
We visit your home and assess what needs to move. Some items stay (beds might stay if the bedroom isn't being renovated). Most furniture goes into storage. We understand what's valuable, what's fragile, and what needs special care.
Step 3: REMOVAL ON YOUR START DATE We arrive on your renovation start
date and move furniture efficiently. We protect floors from the removal process. Everything that shouldn't be covered in construction dust gets loaded and transported to our climate-controlled facility.
Step 4: STORAGE DURING RENOVATION
Your furniture stays safe in climate-controlled storage while your home gets renovated. Temperature and humidity stay stable. No dust. No moisture damage. No temperature swings. Your items are protected.
Step 5: RETURN DELIVERY ON YOUR SCHEDULE
When your contractor finishes and your home is clean, we deliver furniture back. We unload carefully, position items where you want them, reassemble what was disassembled, and restore your home.
Climate-Controlled Storage for Renovations
Why Climate Control Matters During Renovations
A home under renovation loses temperature and humidity control. Windows are open. Doors are propped. HVAC is often shut down. This environment damages furniture.
What Happens Without Climate Control:
- Wood furniture warps and cracks from humidity changes
- Upholstered items absorb moisture and develop mold
- Paint and finishes split and peel from temperature swings
- Leather cracks and fades from environmental stress
- Electronics and appliances fail from moisture exposure
- Artwork and collectibles get damaged
Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity throughout your renovation. Your furniture stays protected.

Renovation Moving FAQs
Questions About Your Renovation Move
How much does renovation moving and storage cost?
Cost depends on the volume of furniture, length of storage, and timing of removal and return. A 3-week renovation with one-room furniture might be $600-$1,000. A complete home renovation for three months might be $1,500-$2,500+. Call 604-987-8655 for a quote based on your specific project.
Can I keep some furniture in my home during the renovation?
Yes. We move only the items that need to go into storage. If your bedroom isn't being renovated, bedroom furniture can stay. If your living room is being gutted, living room furniture comes out. We coordinate around what's actually being worked on.
What if my renovation takes longer than expected?
No problem. Storage is month-to-month. If your contractor runs behind, your furniture stays protected. You only pay for additional storage time if the project extends.
Will my furniture fit in your storage facility?
For most renovations, yes. We can accommodate furniture from entire homes. For large estates or unusual items, we discuss storage solutions during your consultation. Climate-controlled storage is spacious and organized.
Can you return furniture at a specific time to coordinate with my contractor's finish date?
Yes. We coordinate return delivery around when your home will be ready. You confirm the date, we schedule delivery, and furniture goes back as soon as your home is finished and clean.
