Cobblestone streets, converted warehouses, and some of Montreal's most stunning loft apartments. Moving in Old Montreal is an art — and we've mastered it.
Old Montreal is one of the most challenging neighborhoods to move in and out of. Cobblestone streets like Saint-Paul and de la Commune make dolly work difficult, narrow building entrances in century-old warehouses require creative solutions, and parking is heavily restricted — especially during tourist season. Most moves involve converted loft apartments with freight elevators, luxury condos in renovated heritage buildings, and commercial spaces. Our experienced Old Montreal crews bring specialized equipment: rubber-wheeled dollies for cobblestones, stair-climbing gear, and protective materials for exposed brick and original hardwood.
