Local and long distance moving, packing, storage and single-item transport.
Typical GTA cost
Quote only
Two or three bedroom local move. Excludes packing materials, storage, and stairs or elevator surcharges.
Demand and price peak in summer. Booking outside it is the cheapest saving available on this job.
What this trade needs
Commercial general liability insurance
Standard practice. No statute requires it and no insurer demands it of them. It is what a homeowner should insist on, because without it a mistake is a lawsuit rather than a claim.
Ask before you hire
Can I see your certificate of insurance and your WSIB clearance certificate?
Is this a binding quote or an hourly estimate, and what happens if it runs long?
What is your liability per pound, and what does full replacement value coverage cost?
Are there stair, elevator or long carry surcharges?
Do you charge for travel time to and from your depot?
Book six to eight weeks ahead for a month end, and avoid the last business day of the month if you can. That is when the whole province moves.
You asked for the trade Movers, and the words "exclusion and sealing", and only businesses whose record lists every required credential it needs, with a check date on the record inside the last 120 days. Of the 12 businesses listed, none match every one of those.
The cost band and the licence requirements above still apply. They are what you need to judge a quote from anywhere else: whether the price is in the range, and whether the person quoting is allowed to do the work at all.
Listings here are seed data for demonstration and are labelled as such on each profile. Cost bands are what GTA homeowners are typically quoted, not offers. Always confirm a licence number against the issuing registry yourself before work starts.
