Which Storage Job Do You Need?
Describe the actual contents and what needs to happen to them. Unit size alone doesn't tell us the size of the load.
Transfer Units or Facilities
Belongings moving to another unit or storage facility. Share both unit locations, available access windows, and loading arrangements.
Partial or Full Cleanouts
Some contents staying, some moving home, and others needing removal. Identify each group and any end-of-rental deadline.
Plan the Help You Need
Tell us which tasks your move or cleanout involves, how items should be arranged, and what needs to stay, move, or be removed.
- Loading & Carrying
- Owners and employees carry out jobs, normally with two to three staff and more as needed. Our crew handles all lifting, carrying, loading, and unloading; customer help is not required. Stairs, heavy items, and difficult access are assessed case by case and factored into the quote. Changed conditions are discussed with you, with any revised quote requiring approval.
- Packing & Protection
- Full or partial packing and unpacking are available, using our supplies or yours, with agreed labour and materials included in the quote. Moving blankets, straps, stretch wrap, and floor and doorway protection as needed are included. Furniture disassembly, reassembly, and new furniture assembly are chargeable services. Our crew brings tools; supply instructions and original hardware where possible. Unusual or complex pieces are assessed case by case.
- Vehicles & Trips
- We use vans and arrange larger vehicles when needed. Capacity and multiple vehicles or trips are assessed during quoting, with all planned trips included in the agreed price.
- Placement in the Unit
- Placement in the unit and at the destination is agreed beforehand and included in the quote, with drop-off-only service also available. Share your preferred arrangement, any access aisles you need, and items that should remain reachable. We ask about special placement or storage instructions where needed.
- Cleanout Finish
- Customers separate items beforehand and bag or box loose contents for removal. Crew sorting, bagging, or boxing is available for a fee. Collection-area cleanup afterward is included. We assist with facility handover as much as possible, but the customer must complete the final sign-off.
Before the Storage Job
Gather the load, access, and timing details before choosing a collection date.
- Photograph the Contents. Include the whole unit, furniture, a rough box count, and bulky or heavy pieces. List anything hidden behind other items.
- Identify What Goes Where. Clearly label what stays, moves to another address, or needs removal. Include a destination for each group.
- Arrange Facility Access. Share loading hours, unit location, stairs, parking, carrying distances, and gate or unit access arrangements. Customers arrange required elevator bookings, loading bays, and parking permits.
- Agree on Packing & Preparation. If packing yourself, close and label boxes. For cleanouts, separate items and bag or box loose contents, or request paid crew help. Include packing or assembly tasks in the quote. Appliances and unusual pieces are prepared case by case; package accepted special items safely and label their contents.
- Share Your Timing & Handover Needs. Include your preferred date, rental end date, appointments, and access windows at every location. We assist with facility handover as much as possible; you complete the final sign-off.
- Plan Attendance. Unattended access can be arranged. Complex arrangements require you or an authorised representative to be present. Stay reachable by phone on the day.
Storage Move & Cleanout Questions
Include any details specific to your unit, facility, or destinations in your quote request.
Send photos, a load list, all locations, access details, and the tasks needed. The amount of contents, carrying distance, travel, and any removal needs help us assess the job. Quotes are free, with a reply within 24 hours.
Pricing is quote-only, normally fixed-price, with no minimum charge. The load, labour, distance, access, parking, waiting, and planned stops or trips are assessed for your quote. Any special hourly exception, such as waiting time, is agreed in the quote. Taxes are shown.
Load changes or extra work require a revised quote or service-request agreement and your approval through our software or by email before the changed work proceeds. For removals, facility fees and applicable mattress charges are included; if facility costs for the quoted job differ or were missed, we absorb the difference.
Unattended access can be arranged. Complex arrangements require you or an authorised representative to be present. Agree on gate and unit access, facility requirements, and any key or code arrangements beforehand.
Customers arrange required elevator bookings, loading bays, and parking permits. Stay reachable by phone. If we cannot access the property or you are unavailable, we try to call; if still unreachable, the booking must be rescheduled.
A unit's dimensions don't tell us how much is inside. Include photos, a box count, furniture dimensions, and a list of hidden contents so transport and carrying requirements can be assessed.
We use vans and arrange larger vehicles when needed. Capacity, multiple vehicles, and trips are assessed during quoting, with all planned trips included in the agreed price. Heavy, oversized, or unusual loads are assessed case by case.
Identify what stays, what moves, and what you want removed. Include the condition and materials of unwanted items, plus any donation, recycling, or disposal preferences.
Customers sort beforehand; crew sorting, bagging, or boxing is available for a fee. For unwanted contents, we accept furniture, mattresses, household clutter, and appliances. Electronics, yard waste, renovation debris, and scrap metal are assessed case by case. We do not collect asbestos, chemicals, or biohazards for removal. Pressurised containers and accepted special items must be undamaged, safely packaged, and clearly labelled. See Junk Removal for the special-item categories and restrictions.
We prefer to donate usable items and recycle items that cannot be donated. Our team chooses destinations and checks acceptance, with alternatives chosen within the agreed job if a facility declines an item. Outcomes depend on acceptance. Facility fees are included. We can arrange donation receipts; disposal receipts and ordinary drop-off records are exceptional.
We serve Metro Vancouver, with longer-distance jobs considered case by case. Evenings, weekends, short-notice jobs, and same-day pickups depend on the schedule. All services use the same booking software with our most up-to-date availability.
