Brooklin's new subdivisions vs. downtown Whitby heritage homes

Brooklin is one of the fastest-growing parts of Whitby - new streets, new driveways, homes that are sometimes still being landscaped when you move in. Downtown Whitby is the opposite: century homes with narrow staircases, older doorframes, and street parking instead of a driveway. Both run on the same hourly model because both need a crew that's actually seen the house, not a guess made over the phone.

$165 per hour, a 2-person crew, 3 hour minimum. A heritage home with a tight staircase sometimes moves faster with an extra set of hands at $55 per hour - your call, not ours.

Port Whitby and the newer condo stock

Port Whitby's newer condo and townhome buildings come with the usual property-manager requirements - an elevator booking window, sometimes a certificate of insurance. We plan the crew's arrival around that window instead of asking you to plan around us.

• Confirm your elevator or loading dock booking before the move date
• Ask about a certificate of insurance if your building requires one
• Street parking downtown vs. driveway access in Brooklin is worth flagging when you book - it changes how the crew stages the truck

Downtown heritage homes need a different approach

Older homes near downtown Whitby often have narrower stairwells, original doorframes, and furniture that doesn't come apart the way modern flat-pack pieces do. That's not a reason to avoid an hourly rate - it's exactly why a flat quote guessed sight-unseen is the wrong tool for a heritage home. We move at the pace the house actually allows and bill for the time it takes.

The drive from Richmond Hill

We're based at 10330 Yonge St, Unit 1 in Richmond Hill, and Whitby is a real trip east. We build travel time into scheduling honestly rather than claiming we're around the corner. The only extra cost beyond the hourly rate is for heavy items over 250 lbs - a piano, a safe, a pool table, oversized furniture - and that's confirmed with you before booking.
