Packing and unpacking

A clear written plan

Family members can follow the quote, the date and the crew arrival time.

Senior moving in Surrey

Moving later in life is as much emotional as it is physical. A home holds decades of memories, and downsizing means decisions about what comes along. Our job is to make the practical side calm and predictable, so the person moving and their family can focus on the rest.

Surrey Movers helps seniors move within Surrey and the Lower Mainland, whether to a smaller home, a condo, a retirement residence or a family member's home.

How a senior move works

Plan together

We talk with the person moving and with family members who are helping, and agree the date, the crew and the plan.

Sort before packing

Decisions about what to keep, donate or pass on are easiest before packing starts. We pack what you keep.

Move day at a calm pace

We protect furniture, load carefully and keep the person moving informed at each step.

Unpack and set up

We unpack, reassemble furniture and place boxes where you want them, so the new home is usable that day.

Moving into a retirement residence or condo

Many retirement residences and condos have move-in rules: booked elevators, set time windows, limits on truck access and sometimes a move fee. Confirm the rules with the building manager as soon as you have a date, and tell us so we can plan around them.

Measure the new space before choosing furniture, and bring only what fits. A floor plan helps the crew place everything correctly the first time.

Working with family members

Many senior moves are organized by sons and daughters, often from out of town. We are happy to confirm the details with the family member arranging the move as well as with the person who is moving, and to put the plan in writing so everyone is on the same page.

Can you help set up the new home?

Yes. We reassemble furniture, unpack boxes and place items where you want them.
