A moving company in Ramsay, Calgary: what to expect
First, one thing to know about Ramsay before you book. Ramsay climbs Scotsman's Hill east of the Stampede grounds; streets like 8 Street and Bellevue Avenue SE are steep and narrow with lanes, so we chock the truck and load from the lane where possible..
Ramsay's pre-1961 houses have narrow stairs and small door frames, and Stampede week closes nearby streets, so we avoid booking moves here in early July.
Your address is 7 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.
