Local Moves
Summary: Local moves cover relocations inside Calgary - short hops across Mount Pleasant, moves to Kensington, or transfers to Crescent Heights or Sunnyside. We typically send 2-3 movers for most Mount Pleasant moves. For example, a common local job: a 1BR low-rise condo on 10 St NW to a 2BR duplex in Kensington. That move typically takes 3-5 hours with a two-person crew and includes elevator booking coordination, elevator padding, blanket protection and a short carry if the truck can't park directly in front. We handle curbside loading zone requests for 16 Ave NW, obtain temporary no-parking signage where required, and advise condo boards on move-in/out windows. Included: blankets, shrink-wrap, dollies, ramps, protective floor runners, and parking permit guidance. For narrow laneways and character bungalows we add equipment and an extra mover when photos indicate tight carries.
Long Distance Moves
Summary: Long-distance moves from Mount Pleasant are planned around volume, timing and secure transport. We offer full-service options for moves to Edmonton, Vancouver or larger cross-Canada relocations. A typical Calgary-to-Edmonton long-distance move for a 3BR home includes packing, loading, inventory tracking and delivery within 1-2 days. Calgary-to-Vancouver moves take longer (2-4 days) and include highway scheduling across Trans-Canada/16 Ave NW ramps. We price long-distance moves by volume (cubic feet) and distance, and we provide a door-to-door timeline, insurance options and real-time tracking. Included: professional packing on request, shrink-wrapping, padded transport, and short-term storage if needed in Calgary before departure.

Packing: full or partial packing for fragile heirlooms in character bungalows, wardrobe boxes for low-rise condo closets, piano wrapping for older homes. Storage: short-term (up to 30 days) and longer-term options near 16 Ave NW or downtown. Permit concierge: we handle temporary no-parking signs on 16 Ave NW, arrange street closure requests for oversized moves, and coordinate elevator booking and insurance forms with condo boards on 10 St NW. These extras are visible in your instant quote so you can decide before you book.
Understanding Moving Costs in Mount Pleasant (a district in Calgary)
Summary: Prices depend on crew size, time, distance, building access and add-ons like parking permits or elevator blocks. Boxly's photo-based instant pricing helps avoid surprises by estimating crew, hours and extras up front. We break down costs to be transparent: base hourly rates, typical total prices for common home sizes, plus specific extra charges for stairs, laneways, winter conditions and condo fees. Base hourly rates (2025, local): - 2 movers: $120-$180 per hour - 3 movers: $160-$260 per hour Typical move examples:
- Studio or small 1BR low-rise condo (Mount Pleasant near 10 St NW): 2 movers, 2-3 hours, $300-$550 total. Includes elevator padding if required.
- 1BR laneway or character bungalow move across Mount Pleasant: 2 movers, 3-4 hours, $420-$
- Extra for long carries down narrow laneways or basement stairs.
- 2BR condo to house (Mount Pleasant to Kensington): 3 movers, 4-6 hours, $700-$1,300 depending on elevator booking fees and parking permits on 16 Ave NW.
- 3BR detached bungalow (local): 3-4 movers, 5-8 hours, $1,000-$2,200 depending on volume, stairs and time of year. What affects final cost:
- Distance & drive time: congestion on Deerfoot Trail or rush-hour delays increase hours.
- Access & building rules: elevator holds, loading dock fees on 10 St NW, or condo insurance forms can add time and cost.
- Stairs & long carries: basement moves or laneway access often add an extra mover or hourly work.
- Seasonal factors: winter moves require snow clearing and take longer; expect 30-90 minutes of extra labor in heavy snow. How instant pricing works: upload photos of each room, label large items, and the AI returns a recommended crew size, estimated hours, and line-item costs (including suggested permits or elevator blocks). That reduces on-site surprises and lets you compare local vs long-distance pricing quickly.
Mount Pleasant (a district in Calgary) Moving Tips
Summary: Plan around street access, condo rules, seasonal weather and event closures to keep your Mount Pleasant move smooth. Use permit concierge services for 16 Ave NW and book elevator time for low-rise buildings on 10 St NW. Here are practical, location-specific tips we give every customer moving in Mount Pleasant.
- Book early in 2025: Popular weekends (spring and late summer) fill fast - aim for 2-4 weeks in advance for local moves and 4-8 weeks for summer dates. If you need a weekend slot near Nose Hill Park events, book even earlier.
- Check 16 Ave NW (Trans-Canada) access: Some houses and laneways near 16 Ave NW require temporary no-parking signs for loading. Use our permit concierge to secure signs 24-72 hours in advance.
- Plan elevator blocks on 10 St NW low-rise condos: Condo boards on 10 St NW and surrounding developments often require a signed move-in form and a 30-60 minute elevator padding block. Reserve and confirm 7-14 days before moving.
- Prepare for laneways and character bungalows: If you're moving from a detached character bungalow with a laneway, clear paths and measure doorways. Expect a long carry or an extra mover when photos show narrow access.
- Avoid rush hours and Stampede traffic: Stay off Deerfoot Trail during 7-9 AM and 3-6 PM. During Stampede week and major city events, plan mid-week or morning moves to avoid closures.
- Winter-specific prep: For moves between November and March allow at least 30-90 extra minutes for snow clearing, salted walkways, and careful mattress handling during freeze-thaw days. Actionable checklist before moving day:
- Upload clear photos to get an instant quote.
- Measure doorways and stairways and send them with photos.
- Book elevator slots or request our permit concierge if you need a no-parking sign on 16 Ave NW.
- Label fragile items and confirm any specialty items (piano, pool table) at booking.
