Does Ecoway Movers Handle Professional Packing & Unpacking Services?

Our packing team covers every item in your Montreal home with professional-grade materials. Kitchen items get individual paper wrapping. Clothes travel in wardrobe boxes — no folding required.

Artwork and mirrors get custom crating. Electronics go into proper anti-static boxing with original-style foam inserts when available.

We offer three packing levels. Full-home packing covers every room. Partial packing targets just the kitchen or fragile items.

Bring-your-own-boxes works for clients who want to save on materials. Every option comes with a detailed inventory list so you know exactly what was packed and where.

Unpacking services are especially popular with seniors and busy professionals. Our crew places items in the rooms you choose. This is a supervised process — you stay in control of where everything goes. Ecoway Movers provides the best local moving services in Montreal for clients who want to arrive at their new home and start living immediately, not spend three days finding the coffee maker.

How Does Ecoway Movers Handle Pianos, Antiques & Hot Tubs?

Specialty items demand more than muscle. Our crew uses piano boards and custom dollies for upright and grand pianos. Antique furniture gets museum-standard padding and white-glove handling. Hot tubs require coordination with crane services when access is limited.

Plateau and Downtown buildings often have narrow spiral staircases. Items that won't fit through the stairwell get moved via exterior hoisting. Piano moves typically add $150–$500 depending on floors and access. We quote specialty items transparently — no surprises on moving day.

What Does a Montreal to Toronto, Ottawa or Vancouver Move Cost with Ecoway?

Ecoway Movers offers weight-based, cubic-foot, or container pricing for long-distance moves. Montreal to Toronto: $2,500–$5,500 (1–2 days). Ottawa: $1,500–$3,000 (same-day). Vancouver: $6,000–$12,000 (7–14 days).

Pricing factors include total weight or cubic footage, time of year, services added (packing, storage-in-transit), and insurance level selected. We offer guaranteed delivery dates for premium bookings. Storage-in-transit fills the gap when your move-out date doesn't align with your move-in date at destination. Book long-distance moves at least 4–6 weeks ahead.

Our reliable moving services from Montreal include real-time tracking via Samsara platform. You see where your shipment is at every point in transit — from Montreal pickup through delivery at your new home in Ontario or British Columbia.

How Does Ecoway Handle Cross-Border Moving from Montreal to the USA?

Our crew handles Montreal-to-USA moves to New York, Boston, Florida, and other destinations. Cross-border moves require a detailed inventory list, proof of your residency status, and compliance with U.S. Customs regulations on restricted items including certain foods, plants, and firearms.

Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents each face different documentation requirements. We coordinate with licensed customs brokers to clear your shipment properly. Duty and tax implications vary by item category — electronics and furniture generally qualify as personal effects and move duty-free when you're relocating permanently. We cover all insurance requirements for cross-border transport.

Marie needed to move from a 4th-floor walk-up on Rue Saint-Denis to a new condo in Verdun — on July 1st. She called us in April. We secured her parking permits for both locations, scheduled the Verdun elevator three weeks ahead, and assigned a 3-person crew with hoisting equipment.

The move finished in 6 hours despite heavy moving-day traffic. Marie paid exactly what was quoted.

Thomas needed to vacate his Griffintown condo in 48 hours after an unexpected lease situation. Ecoway Movers dispatched a standby crew within 24 hours. We submitted the COI to his building management that morning, booked the service elevator for a 2-hour window, and completed the full 1-bedroom move by 2pm. His belongings went into our climate-controlled storage until his new place was ready.

How Should You Prepare Your Montreal Apartment Before the Movers Arrive?

Our crew works faster when you prepare the space ahead of time. Disassemble any furniture that won't fit through doorways on your own — beds, flat-pack shelving, large sectionals. Remove wall hangings and patch holes as required by your lease. Clear all hallways and staircases of obstacles.

Identify items our team won't transport: propane tanks, hazardous chemicals, perishable food, houseplants, and firearms. Label every box with the destination room clearly written on top. For condo moves, confirm your elevator reservation the morning of your move. For walk-ups, assess whether any oversized items need exterior hoisting.

Post your parking permit signs 24 hours before the move. Clear the space immediately in front of your building's entrance. These steps cut 30–45 minutes off most moves and reduce the risk of damage in narrow spaces.
