Local details matter
A move planned for your part of Scarborough
Scarborough covers a wide range of moves, from an Agincourt apartment to a Guildwood house or a basement suite farther east. A quote should describe the property entrance and walking distance to the truck as carefully as the inventory. We do not assume a detached address has step-free access or that an apartment has a bookable freight elevator.
For a split-level or basement move, photographs of every stair section help identify handling needs before the day starts. For a tower move, management’s loading instructions take priority. We review both ends, including cross-Scarborough trips, rather than estimate from the district name alone.
Agincourt
For apartment and house moves around the area, specify the building type and entrance. Include furniture dimensions if it must pass a stair turn or older elevator.
Scarborough Centre
Tower moves need the loading-bay location and service-elevator schedule. Confirm whether the truck approaches from a different street than the lobby.
Woburn
Show the route from the unit to the parking point, including corridors, outdoor paths and stairs. Each part contributes to the carry time.
Guildwood & West Hill
For house or basement access, show entrance steps and any changes in level. Large pieces may need dismantling before they reach the narrowest point.
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
Make a basement route visible before moving day
- 01
Photograph the item beside the doorway to show scale.
- 02
Include each landing, turn and exterior step in the access photos.
- 03
Identify an alternative exit only if you are authorized to use it.
Before the truck arrives
Access changes the moving plan
- A basement quote needs the complete exit route, not only a photo of the furniture.
- Tell us if the loading point is across a courtyard or a long outdoor walkway.
- For a tower, ask management whether the elevator and loading bay are booked together or separately.
- Review road restrictions for the actual east-end approach, then confirm the permitted stopping point.
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 Scarborough?
Two movers with a 17 ft or 26 ft truck start at $100 CAD per hour in Scarborough, 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 items from a Scarborough basement?
We assess the weight, dimensions and complete stair route first. Send photos of the landings and exit so we can discuss disassembly and the appropriate crew.
How do you quote a long carry at a Scarborough apartment?
Show the path between the unit, elevator and truck. The estimate considers that handling time alongside the item volume; the closest visitor space may not be an approved loading position.
Do moves within Scarborough still include travel charges?
A fuel and travel surcharge applies according to the actual locations and plan. Ask for it to be confirmed with the quote rather than assuming an intra-district move has none.
What should I confirm at a Scarborough Centre condo?
Confirm the service elevator window, loading-bay entrance and any vehicle clearance limits. Give us the management instructions before finalizing the date.
What should I send for a Scarborough moving quote?
Send both addresses, the preferred date, an item inventory or photos, and access details for Agincourt or your specific neighbourhood. Include stairs, elevator bookings and heavy items. We confirm crew, vehicle and charges before a booking is agreed.
