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.
We were anxious about moving with a newborn, but the friendly movers put us at ease right away. They worked quickly, checked in often, and didn’t mind pausing while we juggled feeding times. They even packed a few last-minute items we forgot. So thoughtful and flexible. A dream crew!
At Owner Operator Movers, our movers aren’t just hired hands, they’re stakeholders in the business. That means they care more, work harder, and take pride in every job. We charge the same or less than big-name moving companies, but you get someone who’s personally invested in your satisfaction.
Moving in Squamish means more than just showing up with a truck. Between steep driveways, shifting weather, and narrow forest roads, it takes real experience to move smoothly here. Whether you’re relocating near the Stawamus Chief, Brackendale, or Downtown Squamish, our team knows how to handle it all with care and precision.
We live and work on the Sea-to-Sky, so we’re used to working with the landscape. We know which areas have tight access, which buildings require extra planning, and how to load a truck when it’s raining sideways. You’ll get reliable help from local movers who understand what makes this place unique—and how to work with it.
Squamish homes often feature tough access points, stairs, or sloped driveways—but we’re used to that. Whether it’s an upright or baby grand, we’ll bring the right team, gear, and respect needed to move your piano safely. With padding, dollies, and careful hands, we treat every instrument like it’s our own.
Moving your office or workspace? We know how to handle sensitive equipment, time restrictions, and tight transitions. We’ve helped small businesses relocate from downtown storefronts to light industrial spaces near Industrial Way and Queens Way. From start to finish, we keep things organized and on schedule—so you can get back to work with minimal downtime.
Let us take the pressure off with professional packing services that fit your needs. Whether it’s your whole home or just a few fragile items, we’ll bring the supplies, wrap everything properly, and make sure it’s ready for the road ahead. Our team uses sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and smart labeling so nothing gets lost or damaged. It’s packing made easy—and done right.
Need storage while you settle in or finish a renovation? We’ve partnered with trusted storage providers in Squamish and down the highway in North Vancouver. Whether you need short-term space or long-term protection, we can coordinate clean, secure units with flexible access.
We started out in Vancouver’s West End, back when it was just two of us and a well-worn moving truck doing local jobs in the city. As demand grew, so did our reach. We quickly found ourselves helping more and more people move out of the city and up the Sea-to-Sky—especially to Squamish.
What began as the occasional job up the highway turned into a regular route. Now, Squamish is one of our busiest and most rewarding service areas. We’ve moved families into homes near Garibaldi Highlands, helped renters relocate around Downtown, and supported growing businesses setting up shop near the Mamquam Blind Channel.
We know the ins and outs of moving in Squamish—from navigating narrow mountain roads to dealing with last-minute weather changes. It’s a place we’ve come to know well and care about deeply. And whether you’re moving into the valley or heading out, we’re proud to be the team locals trust to do the job right.
With branches across Canada we are able to offer frequent and economical moving service for all size moves between all points in BC, Alberta, and Toronto
