Toronto movers who arrive with a plan, not just a truck
Maple Crate Movers handles local moves across Toronto and the GTA, long-distance moves across Canada, packing and sealed crate storage. You get a written estimate, a two-hour arrival window and one crew lead who stays with your move from the first box to the last.
Quick estimate
Two postal codes and a home size. The estimator does the maths.
A two-hour arrival window
Choose a morning or afternoon start. You get your crew lead's name the evening before, and a text when the truck is about 30 minutes away.
Moving 7 days a week
Moving services in Toronto and beyond
Book one service or combine them in a single estimate. Every crew carries blankets, floor runners, dollies and tools on every job.
Long-distance moves
Ottawa, Montréal, Calgary, Vancouver or Halifax. One fixed price from a room-by-room inventory, and a delivery window agreed before we load.
Packing and unpacking
Kitchen only, fragile only or the whole home. Packed the day before, unpacked into cupboards the day after if you want it.
Crate storage
Your things sealed in wooden vaults that are loaded once and opened only at your new home. Useful when closing dates do not line up.
Condo moves
We send the certificate of insurance your building asks for and plan the load around your booked elevator time.
Pianos, art and heavy items
Upright pianos, safes, mirrors and framed art get custom crating or extra hands, priced in your estimate.
How a Maple Crate move works
Four steps, one crew lead, and no guesswork about the price on the day.

Estimate
Enter your postal codes, home size and date. You see a sample range straight away, and a confirmed quote follows within one business day.
- 02
Walkthrough
For larger homes, a 15-minute video call or in-person visit lists the heavy and awkward items, so the quote holds on moving day.
- 03
Moving day
Floors protected, furniture wrapped and every box checked off the inventory as it is loaded and unloaded.
- 04
Settle in
Beds assembled first, boxes placed by room label and packing paper taken away. Unpacking is there if you want it.
Moving in Toronto: the details we handle
The city has its own rules for moving day. We plan for them before the truck leaves the yard.
Condo elevators and insurance certificates
Most Toronto condos ask for a booked service elevator and a certificate of insurance before movers can come in. Send us your building's move rules and we sort out the paperwork with management.
Loading and parking
We check where the truck can stop before moving day. If a street needs a temporary parking permit, we tell you during the walkthrough so there are no surprises in the morning.
Winter moves
Snow and salt are part of moving here from December to March. Floor runners, door-frame guards and salted ramps come on every winter job.
The month-end rush
The last and first days of each month book up first, especially in summer. Booking three to four weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of start times.
Sample reviews
These quotes are sample content written for this demo website. They are not reviews from real customers.
“The crew lead sent the elevator paperwork to our property manager before we remembered to ask. Two-bedroom condo, done before lunch.”
“We moved from a semi in Leslieville to Ottawa. The inventory list matched what arrived, box for box.”
“Our closing dates were nine days apart. The crates sat in storage and came back sealed, exactly as packed.”
FAQ
Moving questions, answered
Still unsure? Call (416) 555-0147 and a coordinator will talk it through.
How far ahead should I book a move in Toronto?
Three to four weeks is comfortable for most local moves. For the last week of the month, summer weekends or long-distance moves, book five to six weeks ahead. Short-notice moves are possible when a crew is free, so it is always worth asking.
Is the estimate a fixed price?
Local moves are billed by the hour, with a written estimate of the expected time. Long-distance moves get a fixed price based on your inventory, so the price only changes if the inventory changes.
What should I do before moving day?
Book your building's service elevator if you live in a condo, empty and defrost the fridge, and keep documents, keys, medication and valuables with you. We send a short checklist a week before your move.
Do you move on Sundays and holidays?
Yes, wherever your building allows it. Sunday and statutory holiday moves use a higher hourly rate, which is shown in your estimate before you book.
