Small moves cover a wide range of situations where you don’t need a full-house moving crew. Here’s what we typically include:

• Studio and 1-bedroom apartment moves
• Single item moves
• Senior downsizing
• Student moves
• Furniture delivery
• Donation pickups
• Storage unit moves

The key difference with small moves is flexibility. We don’t require a minimum number of hours, and we use smaller trucks that fit easily in apartment parking lots and tight Scarborough streets.

In Scarborough, moving costs typically range from $120 to $140 per hour for two movers and a truck . Here’s what you can expect based on home size:

• Studio or 1-bedroom apartment: $400 to $900 for a local move, usually taking 3 to 6 hours.
• 2-bedroom home: $900 to $1,400, typically 5 to 7 hours.
• 3 to 4-bedroom house: $1,600 to $3,500, depending on how much stuff you have and how complex the move is.

A few things affect the final price:

• Time of year: Moving on weekends or at month-end costs more. Weekdays and winter months are cheaper.
• Building access: Condos with elevator bookings and loading docks take coordination, but we handle that.
• Stairs: Walk-ups with no elevator may add a bit of time.
• Packing services: If you want us to pack, that’s usually $130 to $150 per hour extra.

For a small move—like a single couch or a few boxes—we give flat-rate quotes so you know exactly what you’ll pay upfront. No hourly meter running, no surprises

A mini move is just another way of saying “small move.” Moving companies use different terms—small move, mini move, light move—but they all mean the same thing: relocating a limited number of items rather than an entire household

A small move follows the same basic steps as a full move, just scaled down. Here’s how it works from start to finish:

• Step 1: Quick consultation
  We start with a phone call or video chat. You show us what you’re moving—maybe a couch, a bed, some boxes. We ask a few questions about where things are going and any challenges like stairs or tight hallways. No need for a long in-home visit.
• Step 2: Simple quote
  Because small moves are straightforward, we give you a flat rate or a short hourly estimate. You know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. No hidden fees, no surprises.
• Step 3: Schedule your time
  We pick a date and time that works for you. Small moves are often easier to schedule on short notice because they don’t require the same planning as full-house moves.
• Step 4: Move day
  Our team arrives with the right-sized truck—smaller than the massive 26-foot trucks used for full houses. We bring furniture pads and blankets to protect your items.
• We carefully load everything, making sure nothing shifts during transport. If there are stairs or tight hallways, we navigate them carefully to avoid damage.
• Step 5: Transport and delivery
  We drive your items to the new location—whether it’s across Scarborough or to a nearby city. At the destination, we unload and place everything exactly where you want it.
• Step 6: Done
  That’s it. No unpacking boxes for days, no living in a sea of cardboard. Your small move is complete, often in just a few hours.

The whole process is designed to be quick, affordable, and stress-free. You get professional movers who know what they’re doing, but you only pay for the time and service you actually need
