Moving & Relocation Services

Any Assembly moving experts are always ready to provide you with same-day moving services! We will disassemble your furniture (if necessary), deliver it to your new home, and reassemble/install it on the same day. We know how important it is to have your favourite furniture waiting for you in your new home so that you can relax at the end of a long moving day! Feel free to contact us, we will provide you with a flat rate for all your delivery needs. There are no extra costs or hidden fees!

Same-Day Moving Services

Our team will arrive at your home, storage area, or other desired location and carefully wrap your items to ensure their safety before delivering them to your chosen location. We work to fit your needs – just let us know the day and time you want the delivery completed!

Whether you are packing yourself or want moving services from us, we have some helpful instructions for preparing and packing your household items.

Preparation & Packing Before the Moving Day

• Start packing now! It often takes longer than you think.
• Box as many things as possible. Items are better protected and easier to lift and stack. (Order Boxes)
• Try to put heavier items in smaller boxes. Do not over or under-pack boxes. If you overpack, the box may split. Under-packing boxes may result in the top of the box denting or caving in, which makes it difficult to stack during transport.
• Use plenty of packing materials – paper, bubble wrap, shrink wrap. Be sure to place a generous layer of materials at the bottom of the box containing fragile items.
• This is an excellent opportunity to clean the house and eliminate the items you don't need or use. No sense in moving or storing those items.
• Remove bed linens and disassemble beds if possible.
• Unplug all electronic devices and disconnect water & gas lines to appliances. Dump grill pans.
• Label boxes with their content and the name of the room in which they should be placed after unloading. Indicate "FRAGILE" or "THIS END UP" where appropriate. Also, please label the SIDE of each box so that the destination is visible when the boxes are stacked.

Moving Day

• Be there on your move day. We're much more efficient when you can tell us where you want things placed when we bring them into your new home.
• Clear the way both inside and out. Pathways should be as wide as possible and clear of debris, ice, etc.
• Prioritize the most essential items for us to move if you are on a tight budget or time frame. (i.e., large or heavy pieces first, appliances, etc.)
• Items of personal importance or sentimental value: Important medicine, cash, wills, family photographs, furs, stamp or coin collections, and valuable jewellery. We recommend these types of items stay with you during your move.

Freezers

Freezers should be defrosted entirely one or two days before moving. They should be completely emptied, dried, and aired to avoid a musty odour. Check with the manufacturer's service representative to be sure the motor is bolted, if necessary.

Refrigerators

Before moving, turn off the water and disconnect the water line if you have a cold water dispenser or automatic ice maker. We can help/do it for you if you need to learn how.

The water reservoir should also be emptied. Empty your refrigerator, and check with the manufacturer's service representative to be sure the motor compressor or motor is bolted, if necessary.

Stoves

Stoves must be disconnected before pickup. Be sure gas lines are shut off tight and capped by a qualified technician. For electric ranges, if the coils are loose, they must be removed with griddles, deep fryers, and removable parts, then packed separately.

Microwave Oven

Any glass trays should be removed, wrapped, and securely packed in a box. If your microwave is large, it will be pad-wrapped on moving day.

Washing Machine

Clean and dry thoroughly. Disconnect and drain hoses. Wrap the metal connector ends of the hoses in a towel and place them inside the washer.

Gas Clothes Dryer

Have a qualified technician disconnect and cap off the gas line.

Mirrors and Glass or Mirror Tops to Furniture

Need to be removed and safely padded.

Glassware

Stemware and glassware should be wrapped individually and placed in a box or dish pack. Do not nest unwrapped glasses in each other. Place wrapped glassware right side up, not on their sides.

Grandfather clocks

Remove chimes, secure weight chains tightly against the clock's base with wire or strong string, and remove weights and pendulums.

Kitchen Utensils

Utensils should be clean and placed in boxes. Durable, heavy utensils should be placed on the bottom, and light ones on the top, with each piece padded against dents, chipping or scratching. Toasters, irons, mixers, etc., may be wrapped individually and placed in boxes with other kitchen utensils.

Lamps/Lampshades

Remove bulbs and ornamental tops and put them in a safe place, one you will remember. Miniature lamps may be wrapped and placed in boxes for safe moving. They may be nested but do not pack them to tear lining or puncture parchment shades.

Mattresses

You may protect them with a sheet or mattress pad. We will use moving pads in transit, or if it's going to storage, we recommend mattress covers.

Dressers

We will move the dressers with the drawers intact. However, we will take the drawers out if it appears heavy or needs to be maneuvered around corners.

Medicine

Take any in your possession you may need. Wrap them individually, placing them upright in small containers.

Paintings and Pictures

Small pictures can be safely placed between the folds of blankets or pillows in drawers or boxes. Large and valuable items must be padded or possibly created.

Mowers and Gasoline Powered Tools

Gas tanks must be drained and oil reserves emptied. No flammable mixtures or articles may be transported. (See non-transportable items)

Piano

Upright (spinet, console, and studio) pianos usually do not require preparation in advance. All pianos are pad-wrapped to protect the surface. Five movers must move Grand or Baby Grand pianos for safety and insurance purposes. A qualified service provider could also take care of the preparations for moving a grand piano.

Pool Tables, Tanning Beds, Hot Tubs, and Spas

Moving a pool table is very similar to moving a piano. They both have complex pieces and can cost a ton of money if parts become broken. On average, a pool table can weigh between 500-1,000 lbs, so it's vital to have an assembly team to have it moved safely.

Pool table moving

If you would like to use professional movers to move your pool table fill out the form above, but if you would like to do it yourself, here are some tips:

• There are special dollies in the market designed just for that. Don't break your back. Get yourself one. You would also need some blankets, and don't forget at least 3 to 4 fellows to ensure you can carefully handle the pool table. 
• Never try to move a pool table as one unit. Disassemble it and mark everything. You would want to put it together the same way.
• Remove the slate and transport them vertically unless you have prepared a crate for them. An average pool table weighs about 1,000 lb. Make sure that your vehicle can handle it.
• Breaking down the pool table can take, on average, an hour from start to finish. It will take a team of three to four friends to help with the entire process.

Packing

If you decide to do your own or partial packing, remember that the moving company is not liable for damage to boxes packed by the customer. However, if there is apparent exterior damage on packing up your goods, make a note on the inventory sheet of your shipment. The driver can refuse to accept any carton that may be improperly packed. Additional charges will apply if the driver has to re-pack cartons that the customer has packed.
