Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is considered a residential move?

This service includes packing, loading, transporting, and unloading items at the new residence. In Greater Vancouver, residential moves often involve transitions within or between cities like Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey.
2. How far in advance should a residential move be scheduled?
It's recommended to book your residential move at least two to three weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons such as summer or the end of each month. Early scheduling ensures access to preferred dates and adequate resources. Visit our Get a Quote page to start planning.
3. Do residential movers supply packing materials?
Yes, most moving companies—including Vancouver Movers Hub—offer boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and protective padding either as part of a packing package or separately. For full-service packing support, check out our Packing Services page.
4. Can residential movers handle fragile items?
Professional residential movers are trained to safely pack and transport delicate items such as glassware, electronics, and artwork. Proper labeling and protective materials are used to minimize risk. For more on safety practices, see guidelines on City of Vancouver’s official site.
5. Are residential moves available on weekends?

6. How are residential move costs calculated?
Residential moves are generally priced hourly, based on the number of movers and size of the truck. Additional fees may apply for supplies, travel time, or challenging access. For more details, check teh FAQ sections on our web pages or request a quote.
7. Do movers help with disassembling and assembling furniture?
Yes, most residential moving services include furniture disassembly and reassembly. This applies to beds, tables, desks, and other bulky items. Visit our Residential Moving page to learn more.
8. Are moving services available for apartments without elevators?
Absolutely. Our movers are equipped to handle walk-ups and buildings without elevator access. We use proper lifting techniques and equipment to ensure safety. In dense areas like downtown Vancouver, stairs are a frequent part of the job.
9. Can I move within the same building or complex?
Yes, even short moves within the same building or unit block are handled professionally. These jobs still require time, equipment, and coordination. We offer flexible rates for these types of local moves in areas like Yaletown and Kitsilano.
10. What happens if something gets damaged during a move?
Reputable moving companies carry liability coverage and offer damage claims for any incident that occurs during transit. Be sure to report damages promptly. To learn more about insurance options visit Consumer Protection BC.
11. Can I reschedule my moving date?
Most moving companies allow rescheduling with at least 48 hours’ notice. We understand that life happens, and we strive to accommodate changes without penalties when possible. Contact us through the Contact page for rescheduling.
12. What size truck is provided for residential moves?
The truck size depends on your home’s size and volume of items. Small condos may use a 16’–20’ truck, while family homes might require a 24’–26’ truck. Our Residential Moving team will determine this during the estimate process.
13. Is it okay to keep items in drawers during a move?
We recommend emptying drawers to prevent damage and make furniture lighter to handle. However, soft and lightweight items may remain inside, depending on the situation. Ask your moving coordinator for guidance during your consultation.
14. Do you serve residential neighborhoods throughout Greater Vancouver?
Yes, we operate in Vancouver and surrounding cities including Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, Richmond, and North Vancouver. Our homepage has a full list of service areas. For specific neighborhoods, see pages like Kerrisdale or Steveston.
15. Should I tip the movers?
Tipping is optional but appreciated. The industry average ranges from $20 to $50 per mover or 10% of the total bill. It depends on the service quality and complexity of the move. Visit our blog for more insight on moving etiquette in Vancouver.
