Moving in Strathmore
A moving company in Strathmore, Alberta: what to expect
Before you book anyone in Strathmore, know this. Strathmore is a straight 45-minute highway run with wide streets and easy curbside parking in every neighbourhood — the only tight blocks are downtown near the rail line, and the Trans-Canada east of Chestermere is exposed enough that winter wind and drifting can add real time to the return leg.
The highway leg is 45 minutes each way, so a morning start keeps the whole job in daylight and avoids paying for an evening finish.

Moving in Strathmore, Alberta: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Strathmore's older core sits on a straight grid with lanes behind many lots, while Edgefield, Wildflower Ranch and Lakewood Meadows use wider curving streets and front driveways. A full-size truck parks at the curb almost anywhere; the tightest spots are the downtown blocks near the rail line.
The homes and buildings here
Housing ranges from postwar bungalows in Brentwood and Westmount to two-storey family homes in the newer subdivisions, with townhouses and semi-detached units in Lakewood Meadows. Newer builds tend to have attached garages and finished basements, so expect two entry points and a stairwell on many jobs.
Who moves in Strathmore
Strathmore grew almost ten percent over five years to roughly 16,000 people, much of it Calgary commuters and young families trading city prices for a larger lot. It also serves Wheatland County farms, so moves in from surrounding acreages and out to Calgary for work are both common.
One tip for your Strathmore move
Plan for the 45-minute highway leg each way. A morning start lets the crew load in Calgary, unload in Strathmore and return in daylight; an afternoon start often turns into an evening finish once the drive is added in.

What should I tell you about my Strathmore address?
The access. Strathmore is a straight 45-minute highway run with wide streets and easy curbside parking in every neighbourhood — the only tight blocks are downtown near the rail line, and the Trans-Canada east of Chestermere is exposed enough that winter wind and drifting can add real time to the return leg. So mention it on the first call, and then we size the crew for it.
How long does a move in Strathmore take?

Not separately. Your drive of 45 minutes from central Calgary sits inside the single truck hour on every quote. So we never bill the drive at the hourly rate in both directions.
Do you move on weekends and evenings in Strathmore?
Yes - we run crews 24/7, including evenings and holidays. For a month-end or Saturday date in Strathmore, though, book two to three weeks out. Inside 48 hours, phone 587-966-1551 rather than emailing.
