Why this company is recommended by our experts

With an impressive 30-man crew, Flex Déménagement is the ideal solution for large moves. In addition, this moving company offers basic insurance at $2.00 per pound of broken item, which covers more than the standard for other movers.

They also offer a unique service, allowing you to purchase your packing supplies online and have them delivered directly to your home.

For very heavy items that cannot be disassembled over 600 lbs (Ex: grand pianos, safes, pool tables, very large gym equipment), this company is not the best option as they are less specialized in this area.

Registration of movers with the Commission des transports du Québec (CTQ) 

To operate in Quebec, moving companies with heavy vehicles weighing 4,500 kg or more must be registered with the Commission des transports du Québec (CTQ). We only select registered companies. To be registered, they must meet several conditions, including:

  • Having civil liability insurance.
  • Being a legal business incorporated in Quebec.
  • Holding the appropriate permit issued by the SAAQ for the type of vehicle used.
  • Ensuring that the vehicles respect the environmental and safety standards in effect.

Other authorities in the Canadian Moving industry

What’s the BBB?

BBB stands for Better Business Bureau and is a North American organization whose mission is to help buyers and sellers trust each other. Its rating is based on the number of complaints that a company may receive and how the company handles these complaints. We aim to recommend companies with a minimum rating of A- or higher.

What’s CAM?

CAM stands for Canadian Association of Movers. It is Canada’s only trade association for movers whose goal is to help its members evolve in the industry, while setting a standard of ethics and practices for moving companies. While it is a great way to gain credibility, not all moving companies are part of CAM.

Frequently asked questions

Hourly pricing is the most commonly used pricing model in Laval. It’s simple, the company will provide you with an hourly rate and charge you based on the time it takes to complete your move. The more prepared you are, the less it will cost.

In your quote, movers will provide you with an estimated labor time, so they can precisely estimate the final cost. 

Services considered in the labor time: 

  • Wrapping and protecting 
  • Dismantling and reassembling 
  • Packing/unpacking (additional service if requested)
  • Loading and unloading the truck 
  • Miscellaneous requests 
  • Driving from the pickup to the drop-off location (and to/from their office) 

To cover travel time and fuel, movers may charge you for the time it takes them to drive to and from their office. Alternatively, they may charge a pre-established truck fee, which will be based on the distance to be driven and the size of the truck. 

Certain services are included in the final price such as: basic insurance (release value protection), moving blankets, moving equipment and sometimes wardrobe boxes. 

All moving companies in Laval have diverse fee-related policies. Generally, packing and unloading specialty items will be an added cost to your moving bill for their fragility (extra protection required), weight (more workers required), and extra space they may take up in the truck (additional truck required). 

The moving company may charge extra fees for heavy items like sports equipment and appliances. Extra stair fees (above 2nd floor) and overnight or storage fees (if the move was not completed in one day), may be charged. Also, fuel fees could apply, especially for longer distances.

There are two types of moving insurance protections: release value protection and full value protection. 

Release value protection covers the damages happening in the moving truck and can cover $0.60 per pound of the damaged item. The cost is typically included in the price and there is no deductible.  

Whereas, full value protection applies to damage done in the moving truck and in your home. This can cover anywhere between $5 to $10 per pound of the damaged item. Expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars for full value protection, and know that there is a deductible and that it will vary. 

Movers will be allowed to park their truck legally in front of your home if they take a free, legal, non-paying parking space at the time of the move. You cannot block any sidewalks, bike lanes or traffic. Otherwise, a permit is required.

Movers do not require a permit for a delivery truck carrying materials or packages, a moving truck, or any other obstruction lasting for 30 minutes or less.
