Handled our piano with expert care
"
We hired them specifically because we needed someone who could move a large upright piano, and they handled our piano with expert care. It was strapped, cushioned, and lifted like they’d done it a thousand times. No damage, no noise, no issues. The rest of the move was just as smooth. They’re pros.

Local Moving
Moving within New Westminster might sound simple, it’s just a local move, right? But anyone who’s tried to get a moving truck up a steep hill in Brow of the Hill or navigate tight laneways in Sapperton knows better. Between narrow streets, limited parking, and strict strata rules in high-rises near the Quay, there’s a lot that can slow you down if you’re not prepared.
That’s where local experience makes all the difference. Our movers know how to work around school zones, time elevator bookings just right, and avoid getting stuck near the Pattullo during peak traffic. That kind of know-how doesn’t just make things smoother, it saves you time, money, and stress on moving day.
Piano Moving
Moving a piano in New Westminster isn’t just about muscle, it’s about mindset. These instruments are heavy, yes, but they’re also delicate, emotional, and often irreplaceable. We’ve moved uprights out of century-old homes in Queen’s Park where the staircases creak and the doorframes barely clear the legs. We’ve maneuvered baby grands into glass-walled condos near the Quay, inch by inch, through tight corridors and sharp turns.
New West has its quirks; historic architecture, narrow streets, and wet weather that seems to roll in just when you least want it. That’s why we don’t wing it. We show up with the right gear, the right plan, and a steady hand. We pad every corner, protect every key, and treat your piano like it’s more than just furniture, because it is.
Commercial Moving
Office and commercial moves in New Westminster come with high stakes; tight timelines, valuable equipment, and pressure to avoid downtime. Whether you're relocating a small shop in Uptown or shifting operations out of a building near Columbia Street, we know how to keep things moving without disrupting your business.
We handle the logistics from start to finish: coordinating with property managers, arranging elevator access, and making sure every box and workstation is clearly labeled. Moving after hours? We can do that. Need to protect sensitive equipment? We’ve got the padding, dollies, and calm, capable hands to keep everything safe. While you stay focused on your business, we’ll make sure the move stays on track.
Packing Service
Packing isn’t just a task, it’s one of the most important steps in a smooth move. Our New Westminster packing team takes the stress out of the process by doing it properly from the start. Whether you’re in a high-rise along the Quay or a heritage home in Sapperton, we come with all the materials and know-how to keep your belongings protected.
We supply everything; strong boxes, quality wrap, tape, and padding; and we pack each item with care, from glassware to keepsakes. Want us to pack the whole house? We’re ready. Only need help with the fragile stuff or the kitchen? That’s fine too. No pressure, no judgment, just experienced professionals making sure your things are safe and ready for the road.
Storage
Our excellent storage partners have locations throughout the Lower Mainland.
The best New West moving company: our story
We started out in Vancouver’s West End, hauling boxes in the rain with one truck and a lot of determination. At first, it was small jobs around the city, but word spread fast. We moved into a warehouse in Gastown, opened a shop on West Broadway, and even ran trucks out of an old East Van firehall for a while. But as the city changed, so did we, and New Westminster became a bigger part of our story.
New West welcomed us early. The mix of historic homes, high-rises, and hardworking people made it feel like a perfect fit. We learned the streets quickly, how to time moves around Royal Avenue traffic, where to park without blocking the trolley line, and how to carry a couch up the tightest staircase in Queen’s Park without a scratch.
Today, we no longer run storefronts or warehouses. We focus entirely on moving, with paperwork and packing supplies handled by trusted partners. But New Westminster remains one of our busiest and most familiar areas. From Sapperton to the Quay, we know the buildings, we know the shortcuts, and most importantly, we know how to move New West right.
