Movers Scarborough

Scarborough moves split into two very different jobs: postwar bungalows with driveway access, and apartment towers that run on a booked elevator. We reach Scarborough from Richmond Hill via the 401 or Markham Rd, and the hourly rate is the same published number either way.

$165/hour for 2 movers and a truck · 3 hour minimum · each extra mover $55/hour

Bungalows and apartment towers are different jobs

Agincourt, Malvern and Guildwood have a lot of postwar bungalows and low-rise homes with a driveway or a front curb to load from — straightforward access, no elevator wait, the clock runs on the actual work. Scarborough also has a large stock of apartment towers, especially near the major arterials, where the move runs on the building's freight elevator schedule instead of your own timeline.

  • Bungalow and house moves: tell us if there's a shared driveway or tight street parking
  • Apartment tower moves: book the freight elevator and confirm certificate of insurance wording with your property manager
  • Either way, heavy items over 250 lbs get confirmed with you before booking, not after

The Bluffs and other tighter-access streets

Some streets near the Scarborough Bluffs and older parts of Guildwood run narrow with limited turning room for a full-size truck. If your street is tight, tell us when you book — we can plan the truck position and the carry distance instead of finding out on the day.

Getting there: 401 or Markham Rd

We reach Scarborough from Richmond Hill via the 401 or Markham Rd, depending on the day's traffic. That's a longer run than our York Region jobs, and it's built into the estimate rather than left as a surprise.

Hourly pricing for either kind of Scarborough move

The rate is $165 per hour with a 2 person crew and a 3 hour minimum, whether it's a bungalow on a quiet street or a tower near Kennedy or McCowan. An extra mover is $55 per hour if a bigger bungalow or a large apartment needs the extra help.

Questions

Good to know

Do you charge more for a Scarborough apartment tower than a bungalow?

No, the hourly rate and crew structure are the same. Tower moves can take longer because of elevator scheduling, and that's reflected in the hours worked, not a different rate.

How do you get to Scarborough from Richmond Hill?

Usually the 401 or Markham Rd, depending on traffic that day. It's a longer drive than our York Region jobs and we account for it in the estimate.

My street near the Bluffs is narrow. Does that matter?

Yes, tell us when you book. We'll plan the truck position and carry distance so it doesn't slow the job down on moving day.

Do apartment towers in Scarborough need a booked elevator?

Most do. Confirm the freight elevator window and any certificate of insurance requirement with your property manager as soon as you have a moving date.
