Costs in The Point are shaped by distance, property type, and access. Based on our 2026 local insights for The Point district, a baseline hourly rate commonly falls in the CAD 120-180 range for standard labor in a typical two-person crew. When moves involve stairs, long carries from curbside to interior spaces, or the need for specialized equipment, surcharges of CAD 25-75 per flight of stairs and CAD 50-150 for long carries become common. Packing and materials add further layers; full-service packing can run CAD 350-700 for a small to mid-sized home, with larger homes rising accordingly. The Point's waterfront and hillside streets create access nuances: even short trips may incur minor access fees if trucks must navigate tight turns or limited shoulder space. Parking on busy weekends, especially along The Point Road and near Memorial Park, can trigger temporary loading-zone restrictions and additional labor time as crews reposition gear. Our data also indicates that seasonality matters: late spring and early summer weekends see higher demand, which can drive up on-site time and surge charges. For planning, consider a baseline move time of 3-5 hours for a 1-bedroom, 4-6 hours for a 2-bedroom local move, and 6-9 hours for a larger 3-bedroom project, assuming standard packing and no major stairs. As of January 2026, local insights emphasize booking early in peak windows to secure preferred crews and minimize weather-related delays.

Pricing for a 2-bedroom move around The Point and Bauline can vary widely depending on the exact distance, building access, and whether packing is included. Our local insights for 2026 show that a straightforward local relocation (within The Point boundaries) often runs CAD 1,400-2,100 for labor plus basic vehicle time. When a move crosses into surrounding Bauline areas or involves additional stairs, cribbed furniture, or long carries, costs often rise to CAD 2,100-2,

1. A full-service option that includes pre-packing, labeling, fragile-item handling, and elevator or stair-assist gear can push the range toward CAD 2,800-3,900, particularly if the move requires multiple trips or a larger crew. We present the following scenarios to illustrate typical price ranges and drive times (these reflect 2026 local patterns and assume standard packing materials are supplied by the mover):
2. 1-bedroom local move within The Point: CAD 1,100-1,600;
3. 2-bedroom local move within The Point: CAD 1,400-2,200;
4. 2-bedroom move to a nearby Bauline community area (5-15 minutes drive): CAD 1,800-2,700;
5. 3-bedroom local move with partial packing: CAD 2,300-3,
6. Note that baseline hourly rates can vary by provider and season, and surcharges for stairs, long carries, and parking restrictions may apply. Tables below summarize typical ranges and surcharges observed in 2026 across The Point.

Section 3 examines the core services The Point movers typically offer, with a focus on local access realities and regional travel patterns. Local moves are designed for mobility in tight urban layouts around The Point, with crews trained to navigate narrow lanes and restricted parking near landmarks like The Point Road intersections and waterfront access points. Local service often includes loading, transport to a Bauline-area curb, and reassembly in the new space, with optional packing assistance. For longer distance moves, The Point movers coordinate with regional carriers to cover coastal routes toward nearby communities within Bauline and beyond, with estimated drive times typically in the 10-25 minute range for adjacent districts and longer for farther destinations. Packing services, furniture disassembly/reassembly, and fragile-item handling are commonly offered as add-ons, along with containerized storage options if needed. Insurance options range from basic coverage to full-value protection, with terms clearly explained before booking. The Point's seasonal weather can influence service windows; for instance, winter moves may require more time for snow clearance and vehicle traction equipment (chains or winter tires). The following subsections detail Local Moves and Long Distance offerings to provide a practical view of what to expect when booking services from The Point movers.

The following actionable tips are designed around The Point's district realities, including street layouts, seasonal weather, and access constraints. Tip 1: Start with a district-specific inventory of items by room, noting fragile or oversized pieces that may require special handling or equipment; this minimizes last-minute surprises on The Point Road routes. Tip 2: Confirm parking permissions ahead of your move date, particularly on busy streets near Memorial Park and close to The Point Road intersections; ensure curb space is reserved or a loading zone is designated. Tip 3: Schedule moves during shoulder seasons (late spring or early fall) when The Point sees slightly lower demand, reducing peak-hour delays and potential parking conflicts. Tip 4: Prepare a clear access plan for stair-intensive spaces; if your home has multiple flights or narrow interior corridors, request a stair carry surcharge estimate and map out the most efficient path. Tip 5: Maintain clear streetscape around the property-trim shrubs, remove obstacles, and coordinate with neighbors for parking relief when possible, which saves crew time. Tip 6: Pack valuables and essentials in labeled boxes accessible on move day, so critical items stay with you and your plan remains visible in the tight The Point footprint. Tip 7: Confirm weather contingency options with the mover; winter conditions can extend drive time, so lock in a flexible delivery window and ensure vehicle readiness (winter tires, traction aids). Tip 8: Consider insurance options for valuables, with a discussion around full-value protection and claim procedures; understanding coverage reduces anxiety if items shift during transit. Tip 9: Ask for a pre-move survey to identify possible bottlenecks in The Point's narrow streets and parking zones, enabling the team to optimize loading order and route planning. Tip 10: Keep essential contact details handy for the crew, including a neighborhood point person near The Point Road to coordinate parking and access on move day.
