Moving can be overwhelming, but with the right professional movers, it doesn’t have to be. At Flex Déménagement, we specialize in residential and commercial moves within Greater Montreal, offering unbeatable prices and exceptional service. To help you prepare for your move, we’ve compiled essential tips to ensure a smooth and cost-effective experience.

Understanding Moving Costs

When hiring professional movers, it’s important to understand the pricing structure. Most moving companies charge an hourly rate, which typically includes:

An experienced and professional moving team.
A fully equipped and insured moving truck.
Necessary moving tools and equipment.

Here’s a general estimate of what to expect:

2½ apartment: $400–$600 (approximately 3–4 hours).
Two-story house with a garage: $1,500–$2,200 (8–12 hours depending on distance and volume).

These estimates assume you pack your belongings yourself, which can help reduce costs.

Additional Costs to Consider

Some factors may increase your overall moving expenses. Be prepared for the following:

Oversized and Heavy Items: Mention items like pianos, safes, or large appliances when booking. These often require additional time, manpower, or equipment.
Furniture Assembly: While furniture disassembly and reassembly are generally included in the hourly rate, the time it takes can impact your final bill. Ensure your movers have the right tools for the job.
Long-Distance Moves: Rates for intercity or cross-border moves are higher due to travel time and fuel costs.
Packing Supplies: Standard equipment is included, but additional supplies like boxes, wrapping paper, or bubble wrap may incur extra fees. Be sure to inquire in advance.

Requesting a Detailed Quote

When requesting a moving quote, accuracy is key. Be detailed about your needs, including:

The size and layout of your current and future homes.
Any large, fragile, or specialty items.
Accessibility factors such as stairs, elevators, or narrow hallways.

Providing this information upfront ensures transparency, avoids surprises, and helps the movers plan effectively.

Tips for Choosing Reliable Movers

To ensure your move is in good hands, follow these steps when selecting a moving company:

Check Registration: Verify that the company is registered with the Commission des transports du Québec (CTQ).
Research Complaints: Look up the company with the Office de la protection du consommateur to ensure there are no legal issues or unresolved complaints.
Confirm Insurance Coverage: Make sure the company’s insurance covers the full replacement value of your belongings.
Get a Written Quote: Always request a detailed written estimate to avoid misunderstandings or hidden fees.
