Calgary & roughly 100 km around it
Calgary Moving Service Areas
Our Calgary moving service areas cover all four quadrants and the towns around the city. Every community below has its own page with real access notes: the stairs, the lanes, the parking, the winter grades. A Bankview walk-up and a Riverbend bungalow are not the same job, and pricing them the same way is how moving day brings surprises.
How the areas work
Calgary moving service areas, quadrant by quadrant
Crews work all four quadrants every day, so no Calgary address is a special trip. First, find your quadrant below; then pick your community for its own page. Each one carries the access notes and the drive time that shape your quote. The rates are the same everywhere.
The towns come next. We bill them as local moves too, on dedicated days. So a Cochrane or Okotoks address pays the same hourly rate as one in Brentwood.
Northwest Calgary
Crowchild and Shaganappi back up hard between 7-9am, so we stage NW jobs to load before the rush or start after 9:30.
Northeast Calgary
multi-generational NE homes often mean two full households of furniture in one move, so we quote crew size on room count rather than square footage.
Southwest Calgary
the inner-city SW streets are the tightest in the city - several have no truck parking at all without a City permit, which we arrange in advance.
Southeast Calgary
newer SE homes stack storage in deep basements and bonus rooms, so we bring a four-person crew more often here than in any other quadrant.
Moving service areas outside Calgary: the towns
We quote out-of-city moves at the same hourly rates, with the same one-hour truck fee, on a drive matched to the distance. In other words, we do not switch you to a long-distance rate for a 30-minute drive.

Transparent pricing
What a move actually costs
Published rates, because you should not have to phone three companies to find out whether you can afford to move.

$130/hr
Apartments, condos, 1-2 bedroom homes
3 movers + truck
$170/hr
3 bedroom homes, most house moves
4 movers + truck
$230/hr
Large homes, offices, tight timelines
Rates are per hour, plus a one-hour truck fee, with a two-hour minimum of work. In addition, the rate includes blankets, dollies, straps, shrink wrap and basic disassembly. So there is no fuel surcharge and no equipment charge.
Typical all-in totals
| Home size | Crew | Work | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom apartment | 2 movers | 3-4 hrs | $520 - $650 |
| 2 bedroom apartment or condo | 2-3 movers | 4-6 hrs | $650 - $910 |
| 3 bedroom house | 3 movers | 6-9 hrs | $1,190 - $1,700 |
| 4+ bedroom house | 4 movers | 8-12 hrs | $2,070 - $2,990 |
Totals include the one-hour truck fee, and they also assume you have boxed everything before we arrive. However, stairs, long carries and packing services move a job toward the upper end.

Questions
Questions about our Calgary moving service areas
Which Calgary moving service areas do you cover?
All four quadrants - NW, NE, SW and SE Calgary - with every community in them. Then the towns within roughly 100 km: Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, Strathmore, High River and more.
Do you charge more for moves outside Calgary?
There is no different rate. We bill towns as local moves, at the same hourly rates and the same one-hour truck fee. A drive under an hour sits inside that truck hour. For a longer drive, we quote the drive as its own line before you book.
My community is not listed. Can you still move me?
Almost certainly. The list is where we have written a page, not the limit of where we go. Call with the address and we will confirm on the spot.
Do you move between Calgary and the towns around it?
Yes, in both directions: Calgary to Airdrie, Okotoks to Calgary, and so on. The rates are the same hourly rates, and we schedule the town end as a dedicated day.
Why does every community have its own page?
Because the access differs. A Bankview walk-up and a Cranston bungalow are different jobs. So each page carries the stairs, parking, building and route notes that shape the quote for that address.
