Moving Services in Sturgeon Heights, St. Albert 2025

In 2025, moving a 2-bedroom house on a Sturgeon Heights street that faces or sits close to Ray Gibbon Drive typically costs between $750 and $1,350 for a local move inside St. Albert. These estimates assume a 2–3 mover crew with a 16–26 foot truck and a 2–4 hour onsite time. Key cost drivers specific to Sturgeon Heights include parking permits or temporary loading-zone reservations on busier Ray Gibbon-facing streets, fuel surcharge if crews travel from Edmonton, and time added for navigating narrow laneways or short driveways common on interior Sturgeon Heights streets. Based on local patterns, moves scheduled during peak summer weekends in Sturgeon Heights can add hourly premiums; weekday mid-month moves are often cheaper. If stairs or long carries from a house to the truck are required — typical on some Sturgeon Heights blocks bordering Sturgeon River trails — expect additional mover time charges. For the most accurate quote, provide your mover the exact Sturgeon Heights street name, whether the property is near Ray Gibbon Drive or interior laneways, and whether you need packing or donation drop-off handled on move day.

Movers serving Sturgeon Heights offer both hourly and flat-rate pricing; which is best depends on the complexity and predictability of the move. Hourly pricing (common for local St. Albert moves) in peak summer 2025 for crews arriving from within St. Albert: a typical 2-mover crew $120–$160/hr, 3-mover crew $160–$210/hr, and 4-mover crew $200–$260/hr. During the busiest summer weekends along Ray Gibbon Drive and near popular Sturgeon River trailheads in Sturgeon Heights, movers often apply a 10–20% peak-season rate increase. Flat-rate pricing—favoured for moves with predictable inventory—will factor in truck size, estimated hours, parking/permit needs for Ray Gibbon-facing streets, and any travel surcharges if the crew comes from Edmonton or central St. Albert. A flat-rate for a 2-bedroom Sturgeon Heights home in summer 2025 commonly ranges $900–$1,500. Choose hourly pricing if you expect variable packing or staging times; choose flat-rate if your inventory and access are straightforward and you want cost certainty.

Sturgeon Heights contains a mix of homes: some along Ray Gibbon Drive with easier curb access and others on quieter interior streets with shorter or steeper driveways and narrow laneways. Moving companies treat access complications as a measurable cost. If a 26-foot truck cannot park at the curb due to street width or municipal restrictions, movers either use a smaller truck, shuttle items by handcart over longer distances, or charge additional time for longer carries. Typical access charge structures in Sturgeon Heights include a per-hour carry-time fee, a flat 'laneway access' surcharge ($50–$150) for significantly constrained properties, or rates that increase when a move requires more than one trip between truck and home. When booking, show your mover photos of the laneway, driveway length, and any obstructions (parked cars, trees) so they can price accurately. Also discuss the presence of Sturgeon River trails nearby, which can limit truck placement on certain streets and necessitate manual carries or small-shuttle vehicles.

If your Sturgeon Heights property is near the Sturgeon River trails or parkland, municipal curbside rules can affect where a moving truck may park. Ray Gibbon Drive and some connector streets have stricter no-parking or commercial parking restrictions during certain hours; the City of St. Albert requires temporary parking permits or a reservation for large trucks in some high-traffic areas. As of November 2025, it's common practice to contact the City of St. Albert's parking services to confirm whether a 26-foot truck can park curbside on your street and whether a temporary loading zone is required. If your move involves a narrow adjacent street or a block with scheduled maintenance or snow-clearing (winter), you may need to schedule an alternative time or obtain a temporary permit. Movers can sometimes obtain permits on your behalf for a fee, but many recommend you reserve curb space the week of the move to avoid last-minute parking conflicts, especially near trailheads and river access points in Sturgeon Heights.

Sturgeon Heights is inside municipal St. Albert boundaries and is typically covered by St. Albert moving companies as part of their regular service area. Local St. Albert movers that operate from central St. Albert generally do not charge an extra travel fee for moves inside Sturgeon Heights unless the job requires long-distance travel (e.g., from Edmonton or Spruce Grove) or special equipment. Edmonton-based movers commonly include a travel surcharge for trips into St. Albert; this fee often depends on drive time and fuel costs and can range from $40–$150. When booking, clarify whether the quoted price assumes mover crews are dispatching from central St. Albert or from Edmonton. Also specify the street cluster: moves on Ray Gibbon Drive-facing streets often allow easier curbside loading and therefore lower effective move time than interior Sturgeon Heights streets with constrained laneways, which may push total costs up regardless of the mover’s origin.

Comparison points for moves into Sturgeon Heights: travel time, surcharge, arrival window, and local familiarity. Central St. Albert movers usually reach Sturgeon Heights faster (10–25 minutes depending on location within St. Albert) and rarely add a travel surcharge. They often know local permit nuances for streets near the Sturgeon River trails and Ray Gibbon Drive. Edmonton-based crews may have more fleet availability during busy summer weekends, but expect a travel surcharge and a longer arrival window (30–60+ minutes). Fuel and travel surcharges from Edmonton to Sturgeon Heights typically range $40–$120 and are commonly included in hourly quotes as a fixed addition. For time-sensitive moves or last-minute requests in 2025, Edmonton movers may be the only option on some dates; however, if avoiding travel fees and ensuring local street knowledge (laneways, parking on Ray Gibbon-facing blocks) is a priority, central St. Albert movers are preferred.
