A moving company in Montgomery, Calgary: what to expect
Before you book anyone in Montgomery, know this. Bowness Road is the main street with shops and bus traffic, so we load houses from the numbered avenues and streets like 44 Street and 42 Street, minding the grades on the hillside blocks..
Montgomery's hillside pockets have long exterior stairs and steep driveways, so we send a site photo request with the quote and add crew where the carry is uphill.
Your address is 15 minutes from central Calgary, so that drive sits inside the single truck hour on the quote. As a result, you never pay it twice and never at the hourly rate in both directions.
