What Sets Get Movers Calgary AB Apart
What Types of Moves Do We Handle in Calgary?
Calgary moves aren’t one-size-fits-all. From small apartment relocations to full house moves and business transitions, our Calgary moving teams handle a wide range of move types with the same planning, care, and pricing transparency.
How to Choose a Calgary Mover in 2026 ?
Choosing a reliable moving company in 2026 requires a strategic approach that combines verifying local credentials, ensuring total pricing transparency, and understanding Calgary's specific logistical hurdles. To ensure a stress-free experience, follow these six critical steps:
Licensing and Insurance
Ensure the mover is licensed to operate in Calgary and carries a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) covering both cargo and general liability. Get Movers Calgary AB exceeds this by providing a "Guaranteed Protection" policy that includes workers’ compensation.
Professional Affiliations
Look for members of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM), which requires at least two years in business and strict adherence to service standards. Choosing an established firm with over 12 years of experience and a 2025 Consumer Choice Award minimizes your risk.
Physical Location
Avoid "virtual-only" operations; verify that the company has a local warehouse and branded trucks. Having a physical presence at 6115 4 St SE ensures we are a legitimate local entity.
Walkthroughs
For an accurate 2026 estimate, professional movers should offer video or in-person walkthroughs to assess furniture volume and access challenges like steep stairs or narrow hallways.
Binding Not-to-Exceed Quotes
Insist On Written, itemized estimate that includes a Binding Not-to-Exceed Quote, which acts as a guaranteed price cap. This protects you from "bait-and-switch" pricing and "flat-rate games".
Identify Hidden Fees
Clarify if the quote includes fuel surcharges, floor runners, and moving blankets. Reputable companies like Get Movers include these essential protection tools at no extra charge.
Neighborhood Specialization
A top-tier mover must understand the nuances of Calgary’s quadrants, such as strict elevator bookings in the Beltline, loading dock coordination in the Downtown Core, and steep driveway navigation in Edgemont.
Winter Moving Experts
Calgary’s weather can change instantly due to Chinooks or extreme cold. Ensure your movers are winter experts prepared for -20°C conditions with specialized equipment to protect your home from snow and salt.
Direct Employees Only
Confirm the company uses its own trained, background-checked staff rather than temporary day labor or subcontractors. Full-time teams provide more consistent service and safer handling of fragile items.
Specialized Equipment
Ensure the crew arrives with specialized gear like banister padding, floor runners, and thick moving blankets to navigate diverse housing types, from historic Mission apartments to modern urban infills
Booking Strategy
If your schedule is flexible, booking on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday can often lead to lower rates or mid-week discounts.
Travel and Outskirt Fees
Always ask about travel time charges for surrounding areas like Airdrie or Cochrane, as these can impact the final cost.
