Kitchen and glassware
Artwork, mirrors, and dÃ©cor

Specialty items or a single room (nursery, boardroom, server room)

This flexible option works great for residential and commercial moves when you want professional protection where it matters most.

Staggered packing for short-notice or multi-phase moves

Packing Services for Different Types of Moves

Residential Moving

We treat your home like our own. From your kitchen and bedrooms to your garage and home office, we pack with care, organize meticulously, and prepare your belongings for safe transport. You can also opt-in for our unpacking service for a fast, low-stress setup in your new space.

Commercial Moving

Reduce downtime with streamlined packing for offices, retail spaces, and warehouses. We secure furniture, files, sensitive equipment, and inventory with minimal disruption - ideal for startups, SMBs, and enterprise moves.

Long-Distance Moving

Longer journeys demand tougher protection. We use reinforced boxes, double-walled cartons, specialty crates, and moisture-resistant materials to ensure items arrive in perfect condition - even across provinces or out of state.

Packing with Specialty Crates

For artwork, antiques, medical devices, servers, and other fragile or high-value items, we offer custom-built specialty crates. Each crate is designed to fit the item's dimensions and fragility, with internal cushioning, corner protection, and shock absorption - especially important for long-distance moving and sensitive commercial moving equipment.

You may require specialty crates for:

Fine art and sculptures
Musical instruments and high-end audio
Lab equipment and medical devices
Servers, racks, and precision electronics
