What to Do Before Your Residential Movers Arrive
A little preparation goes a long way. Here's your room-by-room checklist to make your residential move in Calgary as smooth as possible:
Confirm elevator booking (condos): Contact your building manager at least 5 business days before moving day to reserve the elevator and freight lift. Most Calgary condo buildings require written notice.
Obtain parking permits: Check with the City of Calgary if you need a temporary no-parking zone in front of your home. Some inner-city areas like Kensington and Mission require permits.
Declutter & donate: Moving is the perfect time to part with items you no longer need. The less you move, the more affordable and efficient your residential relocation will be.
Pack an essentials box: Keep a separate, clearly labelled box with everything you'll need in the first 24 hours — phone charger, toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents.
Defrost the fridge: At least 24 hours before your move, empty and defrost your refrigerator to prevent water damage during transport.
Label every box by room: Clear labels speed up unloading dramatically. Colour-coded labels by room work best — your movers will know exactly where each box belongs.
Protect valuables & paperwork: Keep jewellery, passports, financial documents, and irreplaceable items with you during the move, not in the truck.
Measure doorways & staircases: For large furniture pieces, confirm measurements in advance. Our team can advise on disassembly if needed — just let us know ahead of time.
Notify your building of move-out: Give your current building management official written notice of your move-out date. Most Calgary landlords require 30–60 days.
Confirm your moving window: Many Calgary condo buildings restrict moves to specific hours (e.g., 8 AM–6 PM). Verify your window so there are no surprises on moving day.
Pro tip: Share this checklist with your household. The more everyone is prepared, the faster — and more affordable — your residential move 0will be.
