Pitfalls of Asking Your Friends to Help You Move in Toronto

By

When asking your friends to help you move, your expectation of a successful move on a small budget can turn out to be quite a different story.

The contrast between asking your friends to help you move in Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada vs. hiring professional Toronto movers is like night and day. The success of a move is usually defined as getting all of your belongings from your previous residence into your new home in a one day time-frame, without damage to your belongings or either property.

Knowing how to pack a moving truck efficiently, how to quickly estimate load and unload times for planning, and being able to organize a workforce in the most efficient way possible takes years of training and is not nearly as easy as it seems.

If damaging your furniture or your home is a concern, you should never move yourself. Professional Toronto movers are trained experts in techniques specific to every piece of furniture they encounter (and every environment), and that level of expertise comes only after several years in the industry.

As far as budget is concerned, remember that moving yourself is far from cost-prohibitive. Your major expense will be renting a moving truck and any equipment necessary to aid in the move. While having your friends and family there to help is a great idea, they are also far from a “free” labour force. Aside from the implied obligation to provide food and refreshments during the process, most people will also feel compelled to entertain the people who helped out during the process and provide dinner (and possibly drinks) afterward.

Combine all of these factors with the financial cost related to repairing damages, and your labour force is not as cheap as you previously imagined.

The bottom line is that the last thing you want on a day that is already full of stress is an additional headache to deal with. Your time, money, and energy are all very valuable, and hiring professional Toronto movers often saves you all three.

How to Choose a Toronto Office Moving Company

By

There are so many horror stories circulating about unprofessional office movers that customers find it difficult to trust any Toronto office moving company at all. So how can you avoid being the next victim of unprofessional Toronto office movers?

More importantly, how can you make sure that Toronto office moving company you hire is on the up and up and won’t engage in illegal tactics to steal your money? As with everything in life, there are no guarantees, but the following four guidelines can help ensure you find a credible, professional company that can provide you with a stress-free office moving experience:

Check Out the Company on the BBB

Your first stop in researching your prospective Toronto office moving company should be the BBB (Better Business Bureau) website. The BBB is a 3rd party organization that aims to provide accountability for businesses. This agency reviews, rates, and gives accreditation to businesses that have shown to conduct themselves at the highest levels of professionalism and customer service.

Are They Insured?

One question you should be asking any company you speak with immediately is whether they carry proper insurance coverage for their workforce. In Ontario this is governed by the WSIB (Workplace Safety Insurance Board).

If employees are working illegally for a company, or the company has not properly set up coverage for their workers, you could potentially be sued if anyone is injured on your property or in the course of carrying out your move.

This is an issue that is not as well publicised but also important to look out for. Asking questions about workers’ insurance is a good way to avoid this issue and also speaks to the overall professionalism of the company.

How Are Their Reviews?

The best way to determine if a Toronto office moving company is providing great customer service is by researching them online. There are many independently audited 3rd party websites that allow users to post reviews of Toronto office moving companies (both positive and negative) such as www.yelp.ca and www.homestars.com. Chances are if the company is doing something right (or wrong) somebody has taken the time to log on to one of these websites to write about it.

If a company is well reviewed, has a high volume of reviews, and the reviews are recent, you’re probably looking at a professional organization.

Evaluate Their Prices

Pricing is always a factor when deciding on hiring a moving company, however it can also serve as a great indicator of the level of service you can expect.

One of the hallmarks of disreputable Toronto office moving companies is offering extremely cheap hourly rates (sometimes ½ or ¼ of the price of the competition), and this is the primary way these Toronto office moving companies market themselves.

That doesn’t mean that you should simply hire the most expensive Toronto office moving company you encounter in order to ensure you get a good experience, but if a company’s rates are significantly cheaper than the competition something is very wrong.

Keep your Valuables Safe with these Toronto Moving Tips

By

One of the most time consuming aspects of moving is packing all of your possessions away in moving boxes to be transported to their new home in Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada. Most of our things can be tossed in together and will make the journey unharmed. But what about our favourite chinaware set? Or travel mementos? These require special consideration to ensure they are properly protected.

Moving Tips Toronto - Moving and Storage Toronto

Here are some key Toronto moving tips from us:

1. Create an Inventory

Documenting every book you have may not be worth your time, but making notes and taking photographs of your more meaningful possessions can help, should anything go wrong. It’s easier to make a claim against your homeowner’s insurance, or Toronto moving company’s, if you have documentation of the original state. This should fit in easily with your pre-move organizing.

2. Get Insurance

For anything that goes on a truck, make sure it’s covered by insurance. Your homeowner’s insurance may cover a move. Some Toronto moving companies might offer extra insurance.

3. Big Stuff Needs Help

Thing like pianos, antique furniture and art art pieces require special attention and hiring a professional Toronto moving company to help with these items can ensure they get the proper care and safe transportation.

4. Small Stuff Goes With You

We don’t want your jewelry or important paperwork get damaged and recommend that you keep your valuables in your vehicle during moves.

5. Invest in the Right Moving Boxes

Special flat-screen TV boxes have padding to keep the screen safe. The $20 or so might seem expensive for a box, but that’s cheaper than buying a new $1,000 television. The same goes for stemware, which is particularly hard to pack. There are specialty boxes for all sorts of items.

6. Dishes Side-by-Side

Pack dishes in several layers of paper, and fit them in the box on the edge – not flat-side down. They’re less likely to shatter if something bumps the edge.

7. Tape Paintings

Put a big X with masking or painter’s tape on anything under glass – like you see in photographs of shop windows during hurricane preparations. The tape helps keep glass from shattering.

8. Box It Up Right

With any moving box, especially the ones containing fragile things, gently shake it as you pack to make sure the contents don’t move. If they do, add more padding. Also, don’t just fold over the box tops – tape them. And make sure to fill the box so the top can’t cave in.

Things to Consider when Upsizing your Toronto Home

By

Living in smaller homes can be affordable and cozy if you have the luxury of living alone or with a partner but when the news comes that baby is on the way… the planning starts for your new bundle of joy. Upsizing and moving to a larger home in Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada is a natural first step to a growing family and to helping you prepare for the exciting journey ahead. Here are a few things that you should consider before making the BIG decision for your future.

Home Upsizing Toronto - Moving Services Toronto

How much can you afford?

Don’t start looking at the white picket fence until you know what you can afford.

  • Contact your bank to obtain a pre-approved mortgage and work out other expenses like condo fees, property taxes, and utilities. This will give you an idea of where to start looking.
  • Do you want a new house or resale? If you’re handy, you can not only save money on a fixer-upper, but you can customize it however you’d like, and you can add value to it for when you finally decide to move out!

Location, Location, Location

Location is the most important key to any family life. A house in a good neighbourhood will give you a piece of mind, knowing your loved ones are safe and secure.

  • Finding a house in a good school district will ensure your children receive an excellent education. Check out this list of Most Improved Toronto Schools for an idea of the up-and-coming school districts you might want to consider!
  • Since downtown Toronto is building more compact development, larger home locations may be found outside of the busy city core. How far will you be from work, schools, shopping, etc? Do you need a car to get around or can you use TTC?
  • Walking distance from a park will give you and your kids the freedom to play and run around too.
  • Once you find a location, make your larger home search a little easier by providing your real estate agent with an expected wish-list of what you visualize your family living in.

Planning for your future.

Most couples searching to upsize for their family end up living in the same house for a large span of their children’s life.

  • While bunk beds can work for the first few years, you may need extra bedrooms to sleep the children you plan to have.
  • More living space for comfort and entertaining and a bigger back garden to play in too.
  • And don’t forget Toronto storage!  Your children will inherit lots of equipment and toys starting with strollers, car seats, highchairs not to mention ride on toys, bikes, sports equipment and lots lots more. Garages can work as storage areas for old toys… if you run out of space we’ve got you covered!

Upsizing can be exciting and intimidating at the same time, but if you’re prepared and know what you’re getting into, you can be confident you’re making the right choice!

7 Tips for Hiring Quality Toronto Movers

By

With millions of moves every year in the Canada, to or from Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada, it’s a minor miracle that most of them go smoothly, with no issues whatsoever. Hiring quality Toronto movers is a must, of course.

But even with so many smooth moves, scams or shoddy practices do occur. It’s in your interest to be informed about every step in the process.

Here are 7 ways to hire the right team for your move:

1. Don’t let your mover phone it in

A reputable Toronto moving company will take inventory of all your belongings and determine the bulk and weight of your move. The estimator should be thorough and check all of your storage places such as cupboards, drawers, garages and bookcases. A large component of the mover’s price is based on the weight of your stuff and the space your goods take up in the truck. Be sure you understand this estimate and that it is as accurate as possible.

2. Look for more than a cursory glance

An estimator who performs a quick walk-through without noting what you plan to move is going to be off the mark. A good estimator will ask questions about what you plan to take from your current house to your next home. So, be sure you are prepared to tell the estimator which items you don’t want on the truck – the items you plan to give away, donate to a charity, sell in a yard sale, or leave behind for the new owners.

3. Don’t pay a large deposit

Reputable Toronto movers won’t demand cash or a large deposit before moving. You should only pay upon delivery. If you pay in advance, you have no control over when you will see your belongings again. When you do pay, use a credit card to help protect you from possible fraudulent activity.

4. Avoid the name switch

Some Toronto moving companies avoid being assessed by the Better Business Bureau by doing business under a variety of names. Be sure the company has a local address and information about licensing and insurance. Their employees should answer the phone with the full name of the business.

5. Get references

If your friends and family don’t have recommendations, check out their reviews on reputable sites such as Homestars & Yelp.

Ask any mover you speak with for references. Tell them you want a list of three customers from your area who have moved in the past three months. Call those customers and ask direct questions about their experiences.

6. Avoid packing costs

If you pack your belongings yourself, the mover generally isn’t responsible for damage to them. However, if you have your mover do the packing, you may pay inflated prices for boxes and packing materials, not to mention time and labor. If you decide to have the movers pack, ask about the packers’ experience. Most packers are careful, but you want to avoid the chance of getting someone who tosses whatever they can into a box and then seals it up with little regard for breakage.

7. Beware of extra fees

Do you live in a two-story house or are you moving into one? Moving to or from a 10th-floor apartment? If so, you’ll likely be charged extra for the movers’ having to negotiate stairs and elevators. Have a narrow street that won’t fit a moving van? Expect a surcharge for the transfer of your belongings to a smaller truck for delivery. Make sure to ask your mover about any additional fees that may apply to your situation.

Spring is the Best Season to Move to or from Toronto, ON. Here’s Why

By

Of the tens of millions of people who move in North America each year, many have no choice as to when they move. Real estate, family, and work all join in to play a role in dictating the timeliness of a move. However, for those who are at liberty to make this transition as stress-free as possible, consider the luxury of this: moving during the spring so you are settled to enjoy the fabulous summer weather and a well-deserved vacation, then fall back into relaxing routine in the autumn. The perfect plan to ease yourself into the new phase of your journey.

Here are Europa Moving & Storage Toronto best reasons why a move in spring makes great sense:

1. Weather can greatly impact the success of a move. In springtime most regions of the country experience mild weather. Hefting heavy boxes on hot days, or wintery cold ones, is not fun!

2. Availability of moving companies is likely to be better. The summer time is traditionally thought to be a great time to move, which means moving companies may be busier, right? Get a head start and book early!

3. Kids are still in school so if you need their help, spring break could be an ideal time to move. On the other hand, if you want the kids otherwise preoccupied, school days are ideal. Spring is a win-win!

4. Settle in to your new home in time for summer entertaining and holidays. Why give up your down time during the summer to facilitate a move when you can take care of the hard work first? Your housewarming party can be out on your new deck! And you won’t miss out on holiday time.

5. New beginnings are irresistible and that’s what spring’s all about. Need we say more?
Europa Moving & Storage Toronto is taking advantage of new beginnings in Toronto and across Canada, officially in the heart of spring – this May. If you’re thinking of a move at this time, get in touch with us to get started!

Why Using a Local Toronto Moving Company is Better

By

Movers Toronto - Moving Companies TorontoWhen assessing your options in terms of moving companies in Toronto, you’ll come across a mixture of national companies and Toronto local moving companies. Should you choose one type over the other? While it would be incorrect to say that every local moving company in Toronto offers a superior moving experience when compared to national firms, many consumers do often notice a difference in the level of service they receive. While you might have heard about national company X on the TV, in your newspaper or over the radio, you should consider the following points before dismissing local Toronto movers completely.

Hiring a Local Toronto Moving Company Can Have a Surprising Number of Benefits

Just to clarify, we recommend you do thorough research on any Toronto moving company you consider working with, whether national or local, but many consumers do frequently comment about the following benefits after working with local Toronto moving companies:

  • Personalized Service & Better Communication – When you work with a smaller, local Toronto moving company, you will most probably have direct contact with the owner. As the communication channel is much more direct, you’re likely to get information you need quicker and more accurately, as you will often be able to speak directly to the mover as opposed to a customer service representative.
  • Greater Availability – People are often drawn to names that they know and recognise. This means that the larger, national moving companies often get booked up very quickly and you might not be able to schedule an appointment for the time that is most convenient to you. Many local moving companies in Toronto are hidden gems; they offer a greater level of service, but because they aren’t known, people stay away. You’re also more likely to have joy with a smaller company on short notice.
  • Favourable Rates – Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that a smaller company won’t be able to compete on price. This is a service based business as opposed to a product, and because smaller companies often have lower overheads, they might be able to complete your move for cheaper than a national firm.
  • They Genuinely Care – A smaller Toronto moving company often won’t have a very large marketing budget and so will rely upon referrals and recommendations to survive. This often means that they will go above and beyond to ensure that your move is a success in the hope that you will share your experience with friends and family.
  • Got a Problem – Moving can be extremely stressful. You’ve probably heard that phrase a thousand times already, so it’s assuring to know that should something go wrong, you can communicate directly with the company owner and the Toronto movers actually handling your move.

Why Choose Professional Toronto Movers Over a DIY Move?

As countless people have probably told you, moving home in Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada, is no easy task. There always seems to be so much to do and so little time to do it in. Even if you start preparing for your move weeks in advance, your moving date almost always ends up creeping up on you, resulting in a last minute rush. Even so, many people feel they have to handle all aspects of the move themselves as they haven’t got the money to be “throwing it away” on professional Toronto moving services. However, many of the people that have this mindset have never actually looked into the possibility of using such a service and if they did, they would most probably be pleasantly surprised. When you take your time and the cost of hiring all of the required equipment to carry out the move yourself, the difference between a quote from professional Toronto movers and the cost to do it yourself isn’t usually that great. Europa Moving and Storage Toronto is a leading moving company that operates in Toronto, Oakville, Etobicoke and Mississauga, and has a proven track record spanning three decades. Professional Toronto movers are so much more than competitive on price though; they are able to offer a whole range of advantages.

The Benefits of Using Professional Toronto Movers to Help You Relocate

Nowadays Toronto movers can help you with each stage of the moving process, from completing all the necessary preparation to actually moving all your belonging from your old place to your new place, to helping you unpack in your new home. The vast majority of people typically take on the preparation and unpacking phases themselves (if you need any advice on making a moving checklist, please don’t hesitate to ask), but require help when it comes to the move itself. Using professional Toronto movers is a wise investment and you can expect to experience the following benefits:

  • Speed Comes from Knowledge – Professional Toronto moving companies will always get you moved in less time than you could do it in yourself simply because they know what they are doing. They dedicate their lives to this task and have most probably done it thousands of time before. Much of what needs doing is second nature to professional movers, meaning everything is done without having to really think about it, resulting in a huge saving in time. Don’t drag your move out over 3 or 4 days and add additional stress to your life; call our professional Toronto movers and get it done in a single afternoon.
  • Relax Instead of Stress – When taking care of everything yourself a home move can be unbelievably tiring and stressful, and you’ll probably find it difficult to relax until you’re all set up in the new place. The problem is that by that time you’ll be so tired that you won’t actually be able to enjoy it. Moving home should be exciting, but a DIY move usually turns out to be something you will dread rather than look forward to. Moving home isn’t just emotionally draining either; heavy boxes and furniture can put considerable strain on your body too! Why not let Europa Moving and Storage Toronto take care of everything for you so you can get on with your life as normal?
  • The Proper Equipment is Always Used – When trying to carry out a DIY move it can be tempting to try and lower costs by working with the equipment you do own rather than purchasing what you don’t own. Many times this means using equipment that is not fit for purpose, which significantly increases the chances of your items breaking or getting damaged while in transit. The vehicle is the main issue; not many homeowners own a large truck and squashing your items into a smaller vehicle is never a good idea. Professional Toronto movers like Europa Moving and Storage Toronto, however, have all of the equipment necessary to complete your move safely and quickly including purpose build moving trucks, quilted moving dollies and the tools required to disassemble (and then reassemble) pieces of furniture. Protect your items and use professional movers!
  • Accidental Damage? We’ve Got You Covered – Professional Toronto movers are legally obliged to accept responsibility for the items that they transport, and unless you sign a waiver (you might be thinking “why”, but doing so can often lower your moving cost), the company will have to repair, replace or make a cash settlement with you should anything get accidentally damaged. If you carry the move out yourself, you simply won’t have this cover and should you break something it will be up to you to replace it.

If you’re moving to or out of Toronto, Oakville, Etobicoke or Mississauga in the near future and you’re looking for a reliable team of Toronto movers to assist you, give Europa Moving and Storage Toronto a call. We have been operating for 30 years and offer some of the most competitive moving quotes around. You can reach us on 416-604-9904.

Pack to Protect For Long Distance Moving in Canada

Packing is just one of the tasks that will be on a moving checklist among many others, such as finding a suitable Toronto moving company (not all of them offer long distance moving services!), notifying all relevant parties of your relocation and deciding which possessions are not going to make the trip with you. However, while it might just be one task on a list containing dozens, it is certainly one of the more important ones and something you absolutely must “get right” if your move is to be a success. This is especially true of long distance moving, since your belongings will be in transit for a much longer period of time, increasing the chances that damage could occur (especially if there’s plenty of bumpy stretches of road along the way). With three decades of experience providing long distance moving services to clients in Toronto, Oakville, Etobicoke and Mississauga as well as numerous other locations, we know how items need to be packed to offer maximum protection and are going to share some of our top tips with you during this article.

Packing Tips that You Absolutely Must Implement When Moving Long Distance

Many people take a really “relaxed” approach to packing when long distance moving to or from Toronto, ON or elsewhere in Canada, completing this task in as little time as possible and using packing materials that are not up to the job. In order to avoid the disappointment of opening your moving boxes after a long journey and finding many of your precious belongings smashed into smithereens, take note of the following tips.

  • Use the Right Tools For the Job – It doesn’t matter how skilled the employees of the long distance moving service that you use are, if you don’t do a good job at packing your belongings, the chances that something will get damaged are very high. Proper packing for a long distance move starts with having the right tools for the job. This means using packing boxes and materials that are tailored to the items that you are packing, i.e. if you are moving mirrors or pictures, you will need large, flat boxes. However, if you are packing your set of priceless champagne flutes then you will need a different type of box; smaller boxes that contain specially designed partitions are ideal. Then there is a whole range of different solutions for clothes. You get the idea. Don’t just pack everything in the same old generic boxes; be more specific.
  • Don’t Forget to Pack Breakables Individually Too! – It doesn’t just stop at using the proper boxes though. For breakable items (it’s not necessary to do this for things likes books or clothes) it’s always wise to apply a layer (or two) of protection before they are even placed into the box. Bubble wrap is ideal for items that feature glass as it adds a cushion across the item’s whole surface area, but packing paper can work very well too.
  • Fill In Those Spaces – It’s very unusual that all of the items you place in a box will fit together perfectly like in a game of Tetris. There will usually be gaps between items and these gaps can create problems, especially when the items are being transported considerable distances, which is the case with long distance moving. This is because as the moving truck goes over bumps or goes round a sharp bend, these gaps allow the items to move in the box, which can sometimes be enough to damage them. This can be prevented by using packing pellets. These are small pieces of foam that “plug” these gaps and make sure nothing is allowed to move throughout the duration of the trip.
  • Heavier Boxes at the Bottom – Heavier items should be packed in smaller boxes and lighter items should go into bigger boxes, since that will make the task of loading the truck so much easier for the long distance moving team that you hire and reduce the chance that boxes could be dropped. It’s also vitally important, if you choose to do the move yourself, that the heavier boxes are placed on the bottom of the truck.
  • Label Boxes Containing Fragile Items – You should ideally clearly label each of the boxes you pack. Listing the contents of the box or simply indicating which room it’s for can make things a lot easier when it comes to unloading. It’s also a good idea to label any boxes that contain breakables with a clear “FRAGILE” sign so your Toronto movers know to take extra care with that specific box.

While it has nothing to do with the actual packing of your belongings, one of the best ways in which you can protect them is to take your time in selecting a good Toronto moving company. This will ensure that Toronto movers you do hire are properly trained and know how to properly handle, load and unload your items, in addition to having all the required equipment available. Europa Moving & Storage employs some of the most experienced Toronto movers around and offers a range of moving services to homeowners in Toronto, Oakville, Etobicoke and Mississauga, including both local and long distance moving.
