Local details matter
A move planned for your part of East York
East York moves call for a close look at the path out of the home. A front porch, turning staircase or narrow side entrance can change how a sofa or bed frame is handled. For apartment moves around Thorncliffe Park, the equivalent questions are about elevator booking, corridor distance and the loading point.
We separate the district label from the job conditions. A Leaside house and a Danforth-area upper-floor apartment may have very different workloads even with similar inventories. East York uses Toronto municipal guidance, and our dispatch remains in Gormley rather than a claimed local branch.
Old East York
For a house or basement move, show porch steps, stair turns and the exit door together. A furniture photograph alone cannot establish whether it fits.
Danforth-side residential streets
For upper-floor units, confirm the number of flights and the permitted curbside loading point. Tell us about shared stairs or entrances.
Leaside
Include larger furniture and any basement or garage load in the inventory. The truck position should be planned without blocking neighbouring driveways.
Thorncliffe Park
Apartment moves need the elevator arrangement and the carry through common areas. Identify any building check-in or designated moving entrance.
Homes & townhouses
Crew size, furniture disassembly and stair access planned around both addresses.
Condos & apartments
Coordinate elevator windows, loading bays and the carry from truck to door.
Pianos & heavy items
Declare heavy or awkward pieces early so the right equipment and crew can be assigned.
Plan for your address
Check the tightest point, not only the room size
- 01
Measure doors, turning landings and the largest furniture.
- 02
Confirm which pieces can be dismantled and who will prepare them.
- 03
Agree on the truck position and keep the carrying path clear.
Before the truck arrives
Access changes the moving plan
- Photograph porch steps and handrails so awkward furniture can be assessed before arrival.
- List every stair section for upper-floor or basement units; do not describe these simply as ground-floor access.
- Confirm street signs and keep adjacent driveways and common entrances clear.
- At apartment buildings, confirm elevator access and any separate loading reservation.
Care in the details
See the work behind the move
Photos from G&T jobs show wrapping, loading and access methods. They are not all confirmed as taken in this city.
01Furniture and mattresses are wrapped in plastic film before they move — it protects the item, and it protects the walls, railings, and door frames it passes on the way out.
02Colour-coded room stickers go on at the loading end, so at the destination every piece goes straight to its room instead of being put down and moved a second time.
03The crew is our own. Your move is not handed to a third-party labour agency, and the owner works the job, so there is always someone accountable on site.

Read the full pricing guide →How much do movers cost in East York?
Two movers with a 17 ft or 26 ft truck start at $100 CAD per hour in East York, with a 2-hour minimum. Time starts on arrival, then bills in 30-minute increments. Fuel, travel and applicable special-item or access charges are additional; confirm the full scope before booking.
Can you move a sofa through narrow East York stairs?
We need the sofa dimensions and photos or measurements of the full route before confirming. We do not promise that an oversized item will fit without checking the limiting points.
How are upper-floor East York apartments quoted?
Include the number of stair flights, landing turns and the truck-to-door distance. These conditions influence handling time and may require additional crew or charges.
Do you handle Thorncliffe Park apartment moves?
Yes. Provide the building’s moving instructions, elevator details and loading location so we can plan the route through shared areas.
Where does the East York crew start from?
Our yard is in Gormley at 2 Preston Ave. East York is a Toronto service area; arrival and travel charges are confirmed for the actual move.
What should I send for a East York moving quote?
Send both addresses, the preferred date, an item inventory or photos, and access details for Old East York or your specific neighbourhood. Include stairs, elevator bookings and heavy items. We confirm crew, vehicle and charges before a booking is agreed.
