Thoughtful and attentive to every detail
"
These movers were thoughtful and attentive to every detail from the first handshake to the final box drop. They took off their shoes inside, asked where I wanted each piece of furniture, and double-checked that nothing was missing or misplaced. They even noticed a screw missing from a table leg and offered to tighten it. I felt like I was working with people who actually cared.

Local Moving
Even short moves come with big details—especially in High River. Whether you're moving from one neighborhood to another or transitioning from an acreage just outside town, we’ll take care of the planning and the heavy lifting.
We handle small-town quirks like tight laneways, unpaved drives, and shared yards with respect and professionalism. You’ll get a careful, timely move with no surprises.
Piano Moving
Your piano deserves more than brute force—it deserves experience. From uprights in cozy homes to baby grands in rural estates, we’ve moved pianos all over the High River region.
We use proper padding, secure dollies, and a slow, steady approach that protects your instrument (and your walls) every step of the way. Whether you’re moving it across town or storing it during renovations, we’ll handle it with care.
Commercial Moving
Small businesses are the heart of High River—and we help keep them moving. From shops along 12th Avenue to clinics, offices, and workspaces throughout town, we offer careful commercial moving with minimal disruption.
We label everything clearly, coordinate with landlords, and move on your schedule—including evenings or weekends if needed. You keep your focus on business—we’ll handle the rest.
Packing Service
Packing takes time you don’t always have. That’s where we come in. Whether you need help with a whole house or just a few fragile rooms, we offer full and partial packing tailored to your needs.
We bring sturdy boxes, high-quality wrapping supplies, and years of experience in packing everything from dishes to décor. Just point us to what needs to go—we’ll take it from there.
Storage
Need storage during your move? We’ve got options.
Whether you’re in between homes, decluttering, or waiting for a possession date to line up, we can help. We work with local and regional storage partners to offer secure, flexible units—both in High River and nearby towns.
From simple drive-up storage to climate-controlled units for valuables or furniture, we’ll help you find the right fit. We’ll even handle the logistics, so your belongings are picked up, stored safely, and delivered when you’re ready.
The best High River moving company: our story
We started in the city—but High River feels like home. Over the years, we’ve helped families relocate into new homes, supported seniors downsizing, and helped folks move back to the town where they grew up. As word spread, High River became a regular stop on our schedule—and one we always enjoy.
We’ve moved homes off gravel roads, backed trucks into barns, and helped customers plan complex rural moves. Our model—skilled owner operators with personal investment in each job—works perfectly in a place where trust still matters.
Whether you're moving across High River or across Alberta, we’ll make the process feel simple, respectful, and well-executed—just like it should.
