Movers in Gastown
Lofts in heritage brick buildings and condos on Gastown's busy, narrow streets. We plan the loading and protect old staircases and floors.
Gastown is Vancouver's oldest commercial area, and many homes here are lofts inside heritage brick buildings. They can have older or smaller elevators, narrow stairwells and original wood floors. Water Street is cobblestone and busy with pedestrians, and loading space on the street is limited. Newer condo buildings nearby have the usual elevator and loading bay bookings. We plan where the truck will stop, protect the building as we go, and take extra care on old floors and stairs.

Moving Tips for Gastown
Ask your building about elevator size and booking. Heritage buildings often have smaller cabs.
Cobblestones and curbs make dolly work slower. Pack in sturdy, same-size boxes that stack well.
Weekend afternoons on Water Street are very busy. A weekday morning is easier.
If you have large loft furniture, measure the stairwell and door turns before moving day.
