Special items, like pianos, sports equipment, or highly delicate items, require special handling. They may be subject to additional charges.
Discount Moving may not offer the most discounted rates as their name states, but their superior service will make you feel like you got the best value for your money. In fact, the owners, David and Roman, are personally in charge of customer service, making them some of the most hands on moving company owners we know.
Offering various types of residential moves, Discount Moving’s specialities include senior moves along with hoisting and moving very large items that are tricky to move for the average person. For instance, if you have an item that won’t fit through the front door, they can hoist it through a window.
Additionally, hiring this company is especially convenient if you need a last-minute move, as they have a special ‘’emergency moving’’ process in place for this.

For Harmony Movers, providing you with exceptional customer service with personalized moving solutions, regardless of size, is the heart of their culture. This is proven by a 5-star rating from 493 reviews on Google, and customer-focused service available 24/7.
The company specializes in all types of moves, but their movers are particularly skilled at moving pianos, having received extensive training on modern piano moving practices. Piano moving services range from $300 to $1,200+, depending on the complexity of the move.
They even offer a 10% discount for seniors, and special rates for students with valid ID. Additionally, for customers who desire an high-end moving experience, they provide a white glove service upon request to ensure a seamless moving process.

Special items, like pianos, sports equipment, or highly delicate items, require special handling. They may be subject to additional charges.
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.

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:

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.
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.
The author of this article also acts as MovingWaldo’s booking agent. Matt, is an accomplished relocation specialist with over 6 years of experience in the industry. Matt has earned a CAM certification (Canadian Association Of Movers), Tariff Certification (Atlas Van Lines), and has an extensive business background.

Provide Matt with your move criteria. He will calculate quotes from verified movers, using the same metrics. This will make it simple to compare and book your move.
Hourly pricing is the most commonly used pricing model in Montréal. 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:
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 Montréal 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.
The best time of the year to move in Montréal is in the fall or winter. Choosing to move during these two seasons will make you save time, but more importantly money. It’s during these times of the year that movers have more availability.
The months of the year with the lowest rates are October through May, excluding December. We recommend that you move not only during the winter, but on a weekday, Monday through Friday, where you will save hundreds of dollars compared to the summer. Please note that all moves during the Summer months are more expensive because of the higher demand.
