Outdoor spiral, interior narrow, rear exterior, number of flights. We assess the configuration and advise on crew size.
Right crew size
Most walk-up moves work with 2 movers. For larger apartments on the 3rd floor, 3 movers means less time.
Stair navigation
Every piece wrapped before it moves. Crew uses the angle of the staircase — furniture goes up the outside of the railing when needed. Nothing forced.
Done
Furniture placed at destination. Standard hourly billing.

What Customers Say
“Three companies told me my sectional couldn't come through my Plateau spiral staircase. Up & Out figured out the angle, wrapped it, and it was through in 20 minutes. Hire people who actually know what they're doing.”
Alexis T.
“3rd floor walk-up in Rosemont — narrow interior stairs and a low ceiling on the landing. Tricky for sure. The crew assessed it immediately and got every single piece up without touching a wall.”
Patricia M.
“Moving into a classic Montreal triplex for the first time. I was worried about the stairs. The crew laughed — they said they do 5 of these a day. Everything was up in under 2 hours.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get a large sectional sofa up a spiral staircase?
Depends on dimensions and staircase diameter. We've done it many times. We assess on arrival and tell you honestly if the angle works or if disassembly is needed.
Does it cost more to move a walk-up?
No surcharge — but walk-ups take more time than elevator buildings, so the hourly total will be slightly higher. We estimate honestly before you book.
What's the hardest walk-up situation in Montreal?
Narrow rear exterior staircases on 3rd-floor Plateau apartments — tight width, steep angle, no railing to lean against. We do these daily.
Do you pad the walls and railings?
Yes — moving blankets protect stair railings and wall corners on every walk-up job. We don't leave damage behind.
