What This Move Involved: Apartment Relocation from Downtown Montreal to Snowdon
This apartment relocation from Downtown Montreal to Snowdon required immediate planning due to a tall wooden armoire positioned directly beside a tight balcony-door frame. With glass panels and limited clearance, the armoire had to be removed first before any smaller items could be handled.
The home also included delicate hand-blown dessert bowls with thin decorative rims. Each piece was individually packed and crated upright to ensure stability and protection during transport.
Tight Balcony-Door Frame
Controlled movement was required to avoid contact with glass panels and metal framing.
Tall Wooden Armoire
Fully wrapped and reinforced to safely clear the narrow balcony doorway.
Hand-Blown Dessert Bowls
Individually cushioned and packed upright to prevent chipping or cracking.
Local Expertise: Downtown Montreal Access & Snowdon Delivery
Relocating between Downtown Montreal and Snowdon requires movers familiar with dense layouts and balcony access points.
How we handled it
Once access planning was complete, our movers followed a controlled, step-by-step process designed to protect both the apartment and every item during the relocation.
Protection & packing
- Full armoire wrapping: The tall wooden armoire was fully wrapped with reinforced padding along all edges to protect nearby glass panels and metal framing.
- Individual glass protection: Each hand-blown dessert bowl was wrapped separately using cushioned sleeves to protect the thin decorative rims.
- Upright divider crating: Fragile bowls were packed upright inside reinforced divider crates to prevent movement during transport.
Moving method
- Lift-and-slide balcony technique: A slow, controlled lift-and-slide method was used to guide the armoire through the tight balcony doorway without contacting glass or framing.
- Protected carry-out path: Floor protection strips were laid along the exit route to keep surfaces clean and damage-free.
- Balanced truck loading: Items were loaded in a balanced sequence to prevent shifting during the short drive to Snowdon.
