Local Moving

Our local moving crews know Montreal street by street. We navigate the one-ways on Saint-Denis, the construction detours on Sainte-Catherine, the tight lanes off Saint-Laurent, and the residential parking chaos on moving day. We pre-plan routes to avoid STM bus corridors and Bixi station blockages, and we time our jobs to dodge rush-hour traffic on the Décarie and Ville-Marie expressways. When you hire Up & Out for a local move, you get a team that treats this city like their backyard — because it is.

Local doesn't mean less careful. Every local move gets the same padded blanket wrapping, floor protection, and careful handling as our long-distance service. We disassemble beds, dining tables, and shelving units, and reassemble everything at your new place. Our trucks are right-sized for your move — a studio in the Quartier Latin doesn't need a 26-footer, and a four-bedroom in Outremont won't fit in a van. We match the truck to the job so you never pay for space you don't use.

Transparent pricing is built into every local move. We charge by the hour with no hidden fees — the rate you see is the rate you pay. No fuel surcharge, no blanket fee, no surprise stair charge. We provide a written estimate before the move based on your inventory, and our crews track time to the minute. If your move finishes early, you pay for the time used. It's that straightforward. Many of our clients find us through word-of-mouth referrals from neighbours — and that reputation matters more to us than any ad.
