Built Different

Burnaby Is Four Cities Wearing One Postal Code Range

Metrotown plays nothing like Brentwood. Edmonds plays nothing like Lougheed. A mover who treats Burnaby as one market shows up to the wrong building with the wrong truck.

Town Centre Logistics

Each of the four Burnaby town centres has its own elevator culture, loading bay layout, and strata personality. Metrotown wants its paperwork two weeks early. Brentwood wants the truck staged before 9 AM. Our dispatch already knows which building wants what.

The BC Strata Stack

A Burnaby strata move is paperwork before it is labour. Certificates of Insurance, damage deposits, common-area protection plans, post-move inspections. Every one of those is built into how we quote, schedule, and crew the move.

Parkade Heights and Truck Routes

Burnaby parkades often clear at under three metres. Burnaby also restricts trucks over 11,800 kg to designated truck routes. We pick the right truck for your building and route it legally so the move starts on time.

Behind the Scenes

The Work We Do Before Your Move Day Even Starts

Most of a smooth Burnaby move happens in the two weeks before the truck arrives. Here is what we are doing while you are packing.

The Building Call

Within 24 hours of booking, we reach your strata or building manager. We confirm your elevator window, request the COI requirements in writing, and lock in any damage deposit timelines. Your move date is real the day you book it.

The Inventory Map

We walk your home virtually or in person and map every item against the realities ahead. Sectional that needs disassembly. Mirror that needs crating. Parkade height that determines truck size. Your estimate is what your bill becomes.

The Paperwork

Our office files your Certificate of Insurance with your strata, naming the corporation as additional insured at the coverage level they require. We confirm receipt before the truck leaves the depot.

The Move Itself

Crew arrives in uniform, in a sized-right truck, with elevator pads and runners loaded. We protect every common-area surface on the way through. We move at the pace your elevator window allows, finishing inside it.

The Walk Back

Before we leave, we walk the building's path with your manager to confirm zero damage, hand back the elevator key, and update your strata records. We do not call the move done until your deposit refund is on track.

Burnaby Faces

Six Kinds of Burnaby Moves We Handle Every Week

Burnaby moves come in patterns. After enough years, you start to recognise them by the postal code on the booking form.

First-Time
Tower Buyers

New owners closing on their first Brentwood or Metrotown condo, often coming from a rental in Vancouver.

Detached Home
Families

Move-ups and move-downs along Government Road, Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, and Deer Lake.

SFU and
BCIT Households

Faculty relocations, grad student moves, and parents helping a kid set up near campus.

Lower Mainland
Crossers

Folks leaving Vancouver's rental market for Burnaby's SkyTrain corridor, or trading Surrey commute for a Burnaby town centre.

Corporate
Relocations

New hires arriving at EA, Telus, BC Hydro, or Amazon's Burnaby offices, often on a tight start date.

Downsizing
Seniors

A house sale, a strata-ready condo, and decades of belongings that need sorting before the truck arrives.

Real Burnaby Questions

What Burnaby Customers Ask Us Most

How much do movers cost in Burnaby?

 It depends on a handful of factors we map out before quoting. Building access, elevator window length, crew size, packing scope, and how far the truck has to travel between addresses all shift the final number. We walk your home, take real inventory, and quote you a price range upfront so you are never surprised on move day.

Two to four weeks ahead for most Burnaby strata buildings. Metrotown and Brentwood towers in summer often want a full month. We confirm your booking with the strata manager the day you sign with us, so the window is locked in before you finish packing.
Almost certainly. Most Burnaby strata buildings hold a refundable damage deposit between $200 and $500 until a post-move inspection clears. We protect every elevator wall, lobby corner, and hallway surface so your refund comes back.
Sometimes. Some buildings allow Saturday moves under shorter windows, while others restrict moves to weekdays only. We confirm your specific building’s rules at booking so you do not commit to a date the strata will not approve.
If the truck has to occupy a public street, a Temporary Street Occupancy Permit from the City of Burnaby is usually the safest call. We let you know during the estimate whether your move needs one and how to file it two weeks ahead.
Strata moves take longer per cubic foot than house moves. Elevator wait times, hallway carries, COI paperwork, and damage protection through common areas all add billable minutes. A skilled crew shortens those minutes without skipping the protection.
