Apartment Moving Have Their Own Unique Kind of HeadachesMoving out of an apartment or condo can look simple until the building itself becomes part of the move.
There might be an elevator that needs to be reserved. The truck might only be allowed in one loading area. Management could have specific moving hours. Underground parking might not have enough clearance. Then there are long hallways, shared entrances, stairs, security doors, and neighbours trying to use the same spaces. 2 Friends Trucking and Moving provides apartment and condo moving services in Delta, BC for customers who want help handling both the belongings and the realities of moving through a multi-unit building. We help renters, homeowners, couples, individuals, and families moving between apartments, condos, houses, storage facilities, and other properties. |
Check the Building Rules & Limitations Before the Truck Arrives
One of the easiest things you can do before moving day is speak with the building manager. Ask whether the elevator needs to be reserved. Find out if there is a designated loading area. Confirm whether movers need to use a specific entrance.
Check the allowed moving hours. If you are moving into another apartment or condo, do the same thing at the destination. It takes a few minutes and can prevent a lot of unnecessary delays. Inside the unit, it also helps to keep the moving path clear. Boxes sitting in hallways make it harder to move furniture. Loose belongings near the entrance create additional obstacles. Have the main furniture ready and know which belongings are going with you. The more organized things are before the movers arrive, the easier the physical move usually becomes.

Small Apartment Does Not Always Mean Small MoveA one-bedroom apartment can still contain a lot of belongings. Beds, couches, dressers, dining furniture, televisions, desks, boxes, kitchen items, and storage belongings can add up quickly. The size of the property does not always tell you how much work the move will require. Access also matters.
An apartment on the ground floor with parking near the entrance may be relatively simple. A smaller unit on an upper floor with long hallways and elevator restrictions can take more coordination. Our team of movers can help with the physical side of the move, including furniture, boxes, and other household belongings. If you also need any packing assistance, storage moving, or furniture moving, those services can be discussed as part of the overall job as well. |

Frequently Asked 'Apartment and Condo Movers' Questions
Do I need to book the elevator before moving day?
Usually, if your building requires an elevator reservation, the resident needs to arrange it with the strata or property manager. Once you have the time window, send it to us so the moving schedule can be planned around it. Building requirements vary, so confirm them early.
What affects the cost of an apartment or condo move?
The amount being moved matters, but access matters too. Elevators, stairs, loading bays, parking distance, hallway length, and restricted moving windows can all affect how long the job takes. Tell us about both buildings when requesting your moving quote.
Can you move from a walk-up apartment with no elevator?
Yes, many apartment moves involve stairs. Let us know how many flights there are at the pick-up and destination so we understand the access before arriving. Large furniture and tight staircases should also be mentioned ahead of time.
Can you move me within the same building or condo complex?
Yes. Not every move requires a truck going across town. If you are changing units within the same building or complex, tell us what needs to be moved and whether elevators or stairs are involved. We can look at it as an in-building moving job.
