The moving services to be considered in Montreal depend on what you are transporting, the access points and the work you want to entrust to the team. A simple list of items is not enough: also specify the packaging, disassembly, dates and any storage stages. This way, you can request an organization adapted to your project.
Moving services in Montreal: start with your situation
First, describe the expected result. Do you want to transport the contents of an already packaged home, have your small items prepared, transfer desks, or keep furniture between two addresses? Each request involves different tasks and deadlines.
Prepare the addresses, floors, the desired date, and access constraints. Indicate whether the elevator must be reserved, whether the truck will have to stop far from the door, or whether certain furniture is difficult to move up the stairs.
NordTrans offers moving services in Montreal For individuals and businesses. The local area mainly covers Montreal, Laval and the surrounding areas, within a radius of approximately 30 km from the parking located at 99, rue Chabanel Ouest. Long-distance trips are also offered.
If your request comes from this area, please provide both addresses before choosing your plan. The team can confirm the route and conditions that apply to your situation.
For accommodation: transport, equipment and preparation of the furniture
For a house, an apartment or a condo, transportation includes loading, the journey, and unloading at the destination. The volume and access are used to choose the truck and the number of movers.
Two movers can accommodate a small apartment with simple access. NordTrans generally recommends three people for a large 5½ or 6-bedroom home, for 40 or more units on the second or third floor without an elevator, or when the two units are on the same floor without an elevator.
To obtain a suitable proposal, describe the specific constraints rather than simply asking for a team of two or three people. A heavy cabinet, a narrow staircase, or frequent trips back and forth can change the organization.
- Indicate the furniture that needs to be disassembled and reassembled.
- Send photos of bulky items and difficult passages.
- Specify the items that remain in place.
- Report fragile or valuable items before packing them.
- Ask how to prepare the electrical appliances before transporting them.
At NordTrans, the disassembly and reassembly of common furniture is part of the work schedule. For a piece of furniture requiring a specific tool, send photos of the mounting to confirm the feasibility of the intervention.
Add the packaging according to the work you want to delegate
If you are preparing the small items yourself, plan to have closed, identifiable, and easy-to-handle boxes. Empty the furniture and keep personal items that must travel with you separately.
If you wish to delegate the packaging, please indicate which parts are involved. Packing an entire kitchen requires a different preparation from that of just a few remaining items. Also specify whether you already have boxes and protective equipment.
NordTrans can arrange packing on the day of the move or during a separate visit, for example the day before. The supplies brought are invoiced separately. Ask which organization suits your volume and the time you need to vacate the accommodation.
The protection of furniture during handling is also part of the preparation. The trucks, in particular, have covers, mattress covers and straps. These equipment do not replace the discussion about the insurance of fragile or valuable items.
For a company: distinguishing between the transfer of premises and the delivery of goods
A commercial move involves the transfer of goods to new premises: furniture, merchandise, and equipment. Indicate the priority items, access hours, and constraints of your business.
For an office, add the number of positions, archives, and computer equipment. NordTrans offers a free evaluation on-site to prepare this type of transfer. The schedule can be arranged according to the availability and needs of the company.
With your IT team, plan the preparation of the devices, backups, and connections. The transport of the equipment does not mean that the movers will take care of its configuration or the technical interventions.
The delivery of commercial furniture meets another demand: delivering an order from a supplier or store to its intended recipient. Specify the list of items, addresses, access points, and assembly requirements. For repeated deliveries, also describe the desired frequency.
If your property manager requests an insurance certificate, please provide it before the transport. NordTrans can provide this document to its business customers upon request.
Plan for a long distance or a passage through the warehouse
For one long-distance moving, Prepare a detailed inventory and photos. These are used to assess the volume, choose the truck, and agree on loading and delivery dates.
NordTrans operates routes to Quebec, Ottawa and Toronto, among others. Please confirm your destination and the calculation of the price: travel expenses, work and mileage must be included in your preparations.
If you have to leave your accommodation before you can enter the next one, a storage in Montreal This allows the two transports to be separated. NordTrans can collect your goods, store them in its heated warehouse, and deliver them to the agreed address.
Indicate what should remain accessible during this period. Important documents, medications, and everyday necessities should remain with you. Also agree on arrangements if part of the property needs to be recovered before the rest.
Before booking, gather the services selected in a single request: transport, packaging, disassembled furniture, and any eventual storage. Confirm the tasks, dates, and billing method for each step.
Frequently asked questions
Can I only book the transport of my prepared goods?
Yes. Please specify that your small items will be packaged and indicate the furniture that will require further disassembly or special preparation.

Should the move and storage be organized separately?
NordTrans can coordinate the collection, storage and delivery. Communicate your dates and access to both addresses as soon as the arrangements are made.
How do I know how many movers to ask for?
