Moving in Burnaby

Burnaby sits between Vancouver and the Tri-Cities and is served by the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines. Around Metrotown and Brentwood you will find high-rise condo towers, while Edmonds, Burnaby Heights and Deer Lake have a mix of houses, townhomes and low-rise buildings.

That mix means two kinds of move: tower moves, where the elevator and loading dock control the day, and house moves, where driveways, stairs and parking matter. We ask which one you have so we can plan the crew and truck. Travel time from Surrey is added to the hourly total and shown in your written quote.

Planning a tower move in Burnaby

  • Book the elevator or loading slot as soon as you have a date.
  • Confirm move hours, fees and any deposit with your strata manager.
  • Ask where the truck can stop and how far the carry is from the loading area to the unit.
  • Tell us the floor level and whether furniture has to be taken apart to fit the elevator.
  • Have fobs, keys and parking passes ready before the crew arrives.

Traffic, hills and timing

Kingsway, Boundary Road, Willingdon Avenue and Highway 1 are busy at peak hours, so we plan start times to avoid the worst traffic. Burnaby Mountain and other hillside streets can be steep, so tell us about driveway slope and street access.
