Budgeting for Your Move
Tips on how to budget effectively for your upcoming move.
We're different: our movers are company shareholders, not employees. They're better paid and care more about your move.
The whole time, they treated us like valued customers, not just another job. Every step of the move felt personal and attentive. They took time to ask how we wanted things arranged, followed up the next day to make sure everything went okay, and even helped adjust a rug that wouldn’t lay flat under our couch. That kind of service sticks with you.
In Mission, you’re not hiring someone to move a couch—you’re trusting them with a home full of memories. We don’t take that lightly. Every one of our movers is an owner, not a temp. That means they’re accountable, experienced, and committed to doing the job right.
We don’t outsource your move to strangers. You’ll work with professionals who are shareholders in the company, know the area, and care about the outcome. Our structure is lean, local, and personal—and that means better service at a better price.
Local moves in Mission come in all shapes and sizes. You might be moving from a rancher in Silverdale to a two-story in Cedar Valley—or leaving a family acreage after 20 years. Either way, our team is equipped to handle it.
We know how to manage rural property access, soft lawns, hilly driveways, and homes with no street parking. Whether it’s navigating a narrow staircase or wrapping a heritage hutch, we’re ready. And because we know Mission’s layout, we don’t waste time figuring it out on the fly.
A piano move in Mission is never routine—and we treat it that way. These instruments often sit in homes with stairs, sloped entries, or across uneven terrain. We’ve moved uprights from lakeside cabins, baby grands from hillside homes, and everything in between.
Our team comes with proper padding, ramps, straps, and heavy-duty dollies—and the patience to do it right. Whether your piano is a family heirloom or your daily companion, we protect it like it’s irreplaceable—because most of the time, it is.
Businesses in Mission rely on fast, clean, well-organized service—and that’s exactly what we deliver. Whether you’re running a retail shop downtown, a warehouse in Silverdale, or a home-based operation in Cedar, we can move your equipment, files, stock, or gear efficiently and safely.
We plan the layout, label everything, and coordinate with your landlord or property manager to avoid snags. Evening or weekend moves? No problem. Our goal is to keep your business running smoothly, even while it’s on the move.
Packing isn’t just putting stuff in boxes—it’s making sure everything survives the trip. In Mission, homes often have a mix of antiques, tools, artwork, seasonal storage, and keepsakes. We pack all of it properly, using quality materials and proven techniques.
We offer full-home packing, partial packing (just the kitchen, garage, or breakables), or even just help finishing off those last few boxes. You set the pace, and we handle the rest. You’ll never have to wonder if your plates or photos will make it intact. They will.
Our excellent storage partners have locations throughout the Lower Mainland.
We started as a small team working out of a shared garage. Our first move in Mission was a muddy, two-day job on a long gravel road. We’ve been hooked ever since. Over the years, we’ve moved retirees downsizing after decades, young families buying their first homes, and people making fresh starts in cabins, townhomes, and new builds alike.
Mission moves take more planning. More care. More know-how. You might have one steep staircase, two outdoor landings, and a 200-foot walk from the truck. We’ve done it all—and we’ve learned to expect the unexpected.
Today, we don’t run a warehouse. We don’t sell boxes. We focus on one thing: moving people well. Every mover is an owner. Every job is personal. And every move in Mission is done with the respect and attention it deserves.
