Packed everything better than I could
"
These guys packed everything better than I could. I consider myself pretty detail-oriented, but they took it up a notch. Each piece of furniture was wrapped securely, all glassware was boxed with extra padding, and they even labeled the boxes more clearly than I had. Unpacking was so easy because of how well they organized things.

Local Moving
A local move in Port Coquitlam might seem straightforward, but it’s rarely that simple. Between narrow residential streets, shared driveways, and tight condo loading zones near Shaughnessy Street or the Fremont area, there’s more going on than meets the eye. Add in the usual rain and some unexpected traffic on the Mary Hill Bypass, and a simple move can turn stressful fast.
That’s why it helps to have movers who know Port Coquitlam. Our crews live and work in the Tri-Cities, so they understand how to time elevator bookings, where to park without blocking traffic, and how to work around tricky layouts without wasting time. Local knowledge makes a real difference and saves you time, money, and stress on moving day.
Piano Moving
Moving a piano in Port Coquitlam isn’t just about strength; it’s about care, precision, and respect for something valuable. We’ve moved upright pianos out of split-level homes in Lincoln Park, carried baby grands into townhouses in Fremont Village, and navigated staircases, rain, and tight corners all across the Tri-Cities.
These instruments aren’t just heavy, they’re meaningful. That’s why we bring the right tools, from heavy-duty dollies to padded wraps, and take the time to plan every step. Whether your piano has been in the family for generations or it's your newest investment, we treat it with the same care and attention you would.
Commercial Moving
Commercial moves in Port Coquitlam don’t leave much room for error. Whether you're relocating a small office near Shaughnessy Station or moving into a light industrial space off Kingsway Avenue, you need a crew that works fast, stays organized, and keeps your team on track.
We handle the logistics, communicating with building management, managing access points, and carefully labeling everything so your workspace can be set up again without the chaos. If your move needs to happen after hours or involves delicate equipment, we’ve got the tools and experience to do it right. When your business is moving, our job is to keep everything running smoothly so you can focus on getting back to work.
Packing Service
Packing isn't just a chore, it's the foundation of a smooth move. In Port Coquitlam, whether you're moving out of a condo near Shaughnessy or a family home in Citadel Heights, our packing services are designed to make your life easier and your belongings safer.
We show up with everything; durable boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape; and pack each item with care and attention. Need the whole house packed? We’re on it. Just want help with the kitchen or a few fragile pieces? That’s totally fine too. No pressure, no judgment, just skilled, reliable packers making sure your things are protected and ready for the move ahead.
Storage
Our excellent storage partners have locations throughout the Lower Mainland.
The best PoCo moving company: our story
We started out in Vancouver’s West End, just two movers and a truck doing small jobs with big effort. From tight alleyways in the city to a humble warehouse in Gastown, we learned the business the hands-on way. But as word spread and the city changed, we found ourselves heading east more often and Port Coquitlam quickly became a natural fit.
PoCo offered something different. Bigger driveways, family homes, and a growing community that needed reliable help with local and long-distance moves. We’ve worked every corner of the city, from riverfront townhouses in Citadel Heights to shops near Shaughnessy Station, and learned how to navigate its quirks, from shared strata access to steep residential streets.
Today, we’ve traded physical storefronts for a leaner, more flexible model. Our paperwork, supplies, and storage are handled by trusted partners so we can focus on what we do best: moving. Vancouver may be where we started, but Port Coquitlam is a place we’ve grown into—and we’re proud to be part of how this city moves.
