Surrey condo moves done right

Moving inside a Surrey tower isn’t like moving out of a house. There’s one service elevator, and you have to book it. The loading bay has a time window. Strata wants forms, a move-in date, and sometimes a deposit before you can roll a single box. We handle all of that.

Our crews know the towers. 3 Civic Plaza and the King George Hub in Surrey City Centre. Vivere over by Guildford Town Centre. We’ve mapped which buildings have long corridors, tight visitor parking, and a loading dock you have to reverse into. We pad the elevator, protect the floors, and guard the corners so the strata signs off clean.

Here’s how we bill: by the actual hours we work, broken down up front. No guessing games. You know how the hourly pricing works before we start, and we walk you through it. We’ve been doing this for 6+ years and hundreds of Surrey moves, and we’re among the largest delivery partners for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung.

What we move

What we move in Surrey

High-rise condos

Towers like 3 Civic Plaza, the King George Hub and Vivere come with service-elevator bookings, loading-bay windows and strata move rules. We pad the elevator, lay floor protection down the long corridors, and work inside your booked time slot so you don’t get dinged by the building.

Apartments and walk-ups

Low-rise and walk-up apartments around Surrey mean stairs, narrow landings, and street or visitor parking that fills up fast. We plan the parking, protect the stairwell, and carry it down without scuffing the walls. Studio or three-bedroom, same care.

Townhomes

Clayton Heights and Sullivan Station are full of townhome complexes with tight driveways, shared lanes and stairs inside the unit. We position the truck so we’re not blocking your neighbours, then move you floor to floor without the back-and-forth.

Pricing

What affects your condo moving cost in Surrey

Condo movers in Surrey all get asked the same first question: what will this cost? Our pricing is time-based. You’re billed on the actual hours we work, in 30-minute increments after the minimum charge, and the whole breakdown sits in front of you before move day. The real question is what makes your move take more hours or fewer. These six things, mostly.

Elevator time

The service elevator sets the pace of a high-rise move. Booked, padded and held for your window, the crew never stands still. Shared with another move that day, every load waits in line. It’s why booking it is step one on every tower job.

The walk from truck to suite

The drive across Surrey is the small part. The walk from the loading bay to your door is what adds up, because the crew repeats it 40 or 50 times with a full load. A suite two turns and a long corridor from the bay adds minutes to every trip.

How packed you are

A fully boxed 2-bedroom condo loads in about half the time of one we pack as we go. Sealed, labelled boxes stacked by the door keep the dollies moving. Want us to pack instead? Say so when you book and we build the packing hours into the same up-front breakdown.

Crew size

Two movers fit a studio or 1-bedroom apartment. Three fit most 2-bedroom condos and anything with stairs. The third mover raises the hourly rate but usually cuts the total hours, so the final bill often lands lower. We recommend the crew that gets you the smallest bill, not the biggest.

Stairs and levels

Walk-up apartments and 3-level townhomes like the ones in Clayton Heights and Sullivan Station add stair carries a tower never sees. Stairs slow every trip, so we count them in the estimate up front instead of surprising you on the invoice.

Big and awkward pieces

A sectional that needs its legs off, a wardrobe that has to come apart, a fridge that barely clears the door frame. We move and deliver for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung every week, so teardown and wrapping run quick. Just tell us about the monsters up front so we bring the right gear.

You get all of it up front: the hourly rate for your crew size, the minimum charge, the 30-minute increments after it, and an honest read on the hours a move like yours usually takes. After 6+ years and hundreds of Surrey moves, odds are we’ve already been inside your building.

Move-day checklist

10 condo moving tips worth knowing

Tower moves punish poor planning. These ten tips come from our own crews, the same people who pad the elevator at 3 Civic Plaza and walk sofas up Clayton Heights townhome stairs. Work the list and your move runs shorter. On time-based billing, shorter is cheaper.

  • 1. Book the service elevator the day you get your move date. Surrey towers hand out elevator time in set windows, and weekend slots go first. Two weeks ahead is safe. Two days ahead is a gamble.
  • 2. Get the strata move-in package early. Most buildings want forms, proof of insurance and sometimes a deposit before they confirm your date. Ask for the package the week you sign, not the week you move.
  • 3. Declutter one week out. Every box you don’t move is carry time you don’t pay for. One donation run before you pack beats paying a crew to carry things you were going to toss anyway.
  • 4. Keep heavy boxes small. Books and dishes go in small boxes, 40 pounds tops. Big boxes are for light, bulky stuff like bedding. An overloaded box that fails in the corridor costs more time than it ever saved.
  • 5. Label by room and keep a count. Write the room on two sides of every box. A 1-bedroom condo usually runs 25 to 35 boxes and a 2-bedroom closer to 50, and knowing your count keeps the estimate honest.
  • 6. Defrost the fridge 24 hours before. A fridge needs a full day to defrost and drain. Skip it and it drips down the same corridor you’re trying to keep clean for the strata.
  • 7. Measure the big pieces against the elevator. Check the sofa and the mattress against the elevator door before move day. If something won’t fit, tell us early so we plan the teardown or the stairwell carry instead of burning your booked window on it.
  • 8. Pack a first-night box. Kettle, chargers, sheets, towels, toilet paper and a small toolkit. Keep it in your own car, not the truck, so you’re not digging through 40 boxes at 9 pm.
  • 9. Sort parking at both ends. Hold a spot near the loading bay or front entrance at both buildings. A truck parked 50 metres closer saves minutes on every trip, and those minutes come straight off your bill.
  • 10. Confirm everything 48 hours out. Elevator slot, box count, big pieces, parking plan. One 5-minute call two days before move day keeps the estimate and the final bill looking like twins.
A real Surrey City Centre move

A one-bed move at the King George Hub

Whalley and Surrey City Centre are the most urban part of Surrey, the biggest cluster of residential towers south of the Fraser. It grew about 25% in five years, and towers keep finishing and filling. So most of our City Centre work looks like this one: a small unit, a booked elevator, and a loading bay you have to reverse into.

A recent client was moving into a one-bedroom at the King George Hub tower cluster, right by King George Station on the Expo Line. City Centre is packed with studios and one-beds, so the suite was small, but the building rules were not. One service elevator. A booked loading-bay window off King George Boulevard, tight against two of the busiest SkyTrain stations in the region for traffic. The strata wanted the move-in package and insurance sorted before we rolled a box.

We booked the elevator and the bay window ahead of the date, padded the car, and laid runners down the corridor to the suite. A boxed one-bed like this runs a two-person crew about 3 to 4 hours. The reverse-in dock and the shared elevator were the wild cards, which is exactly why we lock both before move day instead of eating the delay on the clock. It was billed on the actual hours, broken down up front. No flat-rate guess, our own crew, in and out inside the booked window.

Apartment & Condo Moving FAQ

Questions we get about apartment & condo moving

Do you book the service elevator for me?

Yes. Once you give us your building, we coordinate the service-elevator booking and loading-bay window with your strata or building manager. We work inside that slot so you don’t get a fine or lose your time.

How much do condo movers in Surrey cost?

We bill by the actual hours we work, broken down up front. You’ll know how the hourly pricing works before move day, and we explain what goes into it. We never quote a flat rate and we never make up a number to win the job.

Can you handle strata move-in rules and forms?

Yes. Most Surrey towers want a booked move date, insurance details, and sometimes a deposit. Tell us your building and we’ll work with the requirements so move day goes smooth.

Do you protect the floors and elevator?

Always. We pad the service elevator, lay floor runners down long corridors, and guard the corners and door frames. It keeps your strata happy and protects your damage deposit.

Which Surrey towers and complexes do you move?

All of them. Surrey City Centre and Whalley towers like 3 Civic Plaza and the King George Hub, Guildford towers like Vivere, and the townhome complexes in Clayton Heights and Sullivan Station. If it’s in Surrey, we’ve likely been in the building.

Do you move on weekends?

Yes, 7 days a week. A lot of strata buildings only allow moves on certain days, so weekend availability matters. Give us your date and we’ll line it up.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every move runs with our own trained crews. The team that quotes your move is the team that shows up, so quality stays consistent.

How long does a condo or apartment move take?

A boxed-up 1-bedroom apartment usually runs 3 to 4 hours with two movers. A 2-bedroom condo runs 4 to 6, and a 3-level townhome sits closer to 5 to 7 with a crew of three. The elevator is the wild card, which is why we book it before move day.

Do you take furniture apart and put it back together?

Yes. Bed frames, wardrobes, sectionals and dining tables come apart, get wrapped, and go back together in your new place. It’s part of the hourly work, not a separate fee. We handle IKEA and Cozey furniture all week, so it goes quick.
