Hamilton moving questions
How much do movers cost in Hamilton?
Move It Right crews in Hamilton start at $135 per hour. The final cost depends on crew size, how long the job runs and whether you add packing or storage. Call +1-866-558-8564 for a quote based on your address and move date.
Do you move between the Hamilton Mountain and the lower city?
Yes. Moves between the Mountain and the lower city are everyday work for our Hamilton crews. The access roads and escarpment routes affect how long a job takes, so mention both addresses when you book and the crew plans the route in advance.
Do you move from Hamilton to Toronto?
Yes. Hamilton to Toronto is one of our most common routes and is handled as a local move rather than a long-distance one. Our Hamilton base is at 503 Woodward Ave and our Toronto base is at 205 Geary Ave.
How far in advance should I book movers in Hamilton?
Book as early as you can, especially for month-end and for anything between May and September. Those dates fill first. Mid-month and midweek dates are usually available at shorter notice.
Are your Hamilton movers licensed and insured?
Yes. Move It Right is a licensed and insured moving company. Coverage details are set out on our insurance policy page, and certificates of insurance are available for building management on request.

What makes a Hamilton move different
Hamilton is really two cities stacked on top of each other, and the escarpment between them decides how a move runs. Getting a loaded truck between the Mountain and the lower city means using one of the access routes, and those add time that a flat-city move does not have. If either end of your move is on the Mountain, say so when you book so the crew plans the route rather than discovering it.
Downtown Hamilton adds its own constraints. One-way streets, narrow older frontages around Corktown and Durand, and limited curb space near James North and Locke South all mean the truck may not be able to park directly outside. Where a street cannot take a full-size truck, the crew plans a shuttle or a longer carry, which is easier to price in advance than to solve on the day.
The Hamilton to Toronto commute is the other thing that shapes local moves here. A lot of our Hamilton work is people moving out of Toronto for space, or back toward it for the commute. We run that corridor constantly and treat it as a local move, not a long-distance one. Our Hamilton base is at 503 Woodward Ave.

Answers to Your Questions, Solutions for Your Move
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MOVE IT RIGHT team insured?
Definitely. Our team and trucks are fully insured, so your belongings are protected during your move within the GTA. Your peace of mind is our top priority.
Do you have real customer testimonials?
Yes! Our reviews come from real customers who’ve actually moved with us. You can find testimonials on our Google Business Profile and other trusted platforms, giving you a clear picture of what it’s like to move with Move It Right!
Will movers rush the job if it’s an hourly rate?
No. Our goal is to move efficiently without cutting corners. We work at a steady, professional pace that keeps your move safe and organized.
Rushing leads to damage and that’s not how we operate. We’d rather take the time to do things properly than risk your belongings.
When should I call MOVE IT RIGHT to schedule a move?
Once your moving date is set, it’s a good idea to reach out to Move It Right right away, ideally 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Booking early helps secure your preferred date and gives us plenty of time to organize all the details with you.
What do I do if I need to reschedule a move?
We get it, things come up. If you need to change your moving date, just give us a heads-up at least 48 hours in advance. We’ll work with you to find a new time and keep things running smoothly.
How much time do you need for the move?
The time it takes varies based on how much you’re moving and the size of your home. Once we understand your needs, we’ll provide an estimated timeline so you know what to expect. We work efficiently to keep everything on schedule and avoid any last-minute surprises.
How do I prepare for residential moving in Hamilton?
Here’s how to keep your move on track and your stress levels low:
- Begin by clearing out clutter: sort items to keep, donate, or discard
- Create a moving to-do list to stay on top of tasks
- Start packing early, tackling one room at a time
- Stock up on essentials like boxes, tape, and bubble wrap
- Notify utility providers and update your address ahead of time
- Plan care for children and pets to keep things calm on moving day
Can I keep items in furniture?
We suggest clearing out your furniture before moving, as loose items can shift and potentially cause damage. If packing isn’t your thing, our professional packing services are here to keep everything protected and secure.
Do I need to prepare any equipment for MOVE IT RIGHT?
Not at all! Our movers arrive fully prepared with all the gear needed to move your furniture safely with no extra charges. We’re skilled at handling even the heaviest or most awkward pieces with care.
How do you handle parking, permit, and Access issues in busy Hamilton areas?
We plan ahead. If parking is tight or access is limited, we’ll talk it through with you before moving day and help identify the best solution. If permits or reserved parking are required, we’ll let you know in advance so nothing slows the move down.
Our crews are used to navigating busy streets, narrow access points, and time-restricted areas across Hamilton.
How do I know what size truck I need?
No need to worry, we’ll take care of that for you. Once we know how much you’re moving, we’ll suggest the right truck size to make sure you’ve got just the right amount of space so you don’t have to worry about squeezing or things moving around.
Is there an extra charge for basements, garages or sheds in Hamilton?
There are no additional charges for stairs! We bill by the hour, so while moving items up or down extra floors may take a little more time, we won’t add any surprise fees just because your home has stairs.
Can you accommodate special items (pianos, antiques, artwork)
Yes! We move specialty items all the time, including pianos, antiques, artwork, and other high-value or delicate pieces. Our team uses proper equipment, protective wrapping, and secure loading techniques to make sure everything is handled safely.
If an item needs extra care or planning, we’ll go over that with you ahead of time.
Do you offer packing services or just transport?
We offer both. You can book us for full packing, partial packing, or moving only; it’s completely up to you. We also provide packing materials and take extra care with fragile items like glassware, electronics, and artwork.
If you’d rather pack yourself, we’re happy to move everything once it’s ready!
Are there any items that moving companies won't transport?
For safety and legal reasons, there are a few items we’re unable to transport. If you’re not sure about something, feel free to ask! We’re happy to help you sort it out. Items we don’t move include:
- Flammable liquids
- Explosives or fireworks
- Hazardous chemicals
- Perishable food items
- Hot tubs and jacuzzis
