Popular move types in Markham

  • Local Moves: Hourly rates apply for moves within the ON area.
  • Long Distance: Fixed or weight-based pricing for moves across Canada.
  • Specialty Services: Piano moving, packing assistance, and storage solutions.

Tips for a smooth move

  • Condo Bookings: Downtown Markham high-rises (Birchmount/Highway 7) require elevator reservations and certificates of insurance — book moves 2-4 weeks ahead and request the COI on day one.
  • Tech-Corridor Office Moves: Markham hosts IBM, AMD, and dozens of mid-size tech firms around Highway 404/407. Weekend moves minimize downtime; we can match commercial movers familiar with server-equipment handling.
  • Cornell & Cathedraltown Access: Newer subdivisions have narrow lanes and back-of-house garages. Confirm truck size early — a 26' may need to shuttle from a wider street.
  • Highway 7 Construction: The Viva BRT corridor still has periodic construction zones. If your move date is mid-week morning, ask the mover to plan a non-Highway 7 route.
  • Lunar New Year Bookings: Markham has Canada's largest concentration of Chinese-Canadian families. Late-January and early-February move dates fill faster than typical month-end — book early.

Weekends and month-end fill up first; book 2-4 weeks ahead for those slots. Lunar New Year (late January / early February) is a second peak in Markham — plan even further ahead.

Ask what's included (travel time, fuel, stairs, long carries), whether they're insured, their cancellation policy, COI availability for your condo, and whether you'll receive a written estimate/contract.
