Use this checklist to avoid the most common mistakes homeowners make when planning a residential move.
Peak moving season runs May through September. Booking 3–4 weeks in advance locks in your preferred date and often gets you a better rate.
Every box you don't move is money saved. Donate, sell, or discard anything you don't regularly use — your new home will be cleaner for it.
Write the destination room and key contents on the top and sides. This cuts unloading time significantly and helps movers place boxes correctly.
Pack one box with everything you need for the first 24 hours — toiletries, chargers, medications, change of clothes, and snacks. Keep it with you.
Update your address with Canada Post, your bank, employer, insurance providers, and all utility companies at least 2 weeks before moving day.
Take photos of cable setups behind your TV, stereo, and computer before disassembly. This makes reconnecting everything at the new place painless.
Arrange truck parking in advance at both locations. For condos and urban addresses, check strata rules and elevator booking requirements early.
Walk through your home with the crew before loading. Point out fragile items, things not being moved, and confirm furniture placement at the destination.
We focus on delivering reliable, efficient, and stress-free moving services with complete customer satisfaction.

Our move coordinators are available Mon–Sat 8am–8pm. Call +1 (416) 854 6683— no pressure, no commitment required.
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead, especially May through September when demand peaks. We also keep capacity for last-minute requests — call us and we'll give you our honest earliest availability.
Your written quote covers the full crew, truck, furniture wrapping, disassembly and assembly, and all movement from origin to destination. Packing materials and services are a separate quoted add-on. No fuel surcharges, stair fees, or elevator fees added on moving day.
Yes. If you add our packing service, we bring everything — boxes in multiple sizes, bubble wrap, packing paper, specialty cartons for dishes, mirrors, artwork and TVs, plus all tape and labels. You don't need to source a single supply.
Every GE Moving job includes basic valuation coverage at no extra charge. For high-value items — antiques, electronics, artwork — we offer full-replacement value protection plans. We walk you through the options when you book.
Local moves are billed hourly based on crew size and truck — clock starts when we arrive, stops when your last item is placed. Long-distance moves use a flat rate based on shipment weight and distance, locked in writing before the move date.
Yes. We have trained specialty crews with the right equipment — piano dollies, stair rollers, and rigging straps — for pianos, gun safes, hot tubs, pool tables, and large appliances. Mention these items when booking so we assign the correct crew.
Reschedules made more than 72 hours before your move date are free. Closer to the date, a small fee may apply depending on availability. Contact your move coordinator as soon as you know — we'll do our best to accommodate.
Yes. We have secure, climate-controlled storage facilities for exactly this situation. Your belongings are stored safely and delivered when you're ready — no need to coordinate with a third-party storage provider.
