Job ID: JAN2208302026 ( Residential Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
This residential move from Altadore to Renfrew involved relocating a home with the help of our trained Calgary movers, with a primary focus on safely removing a wide wooden dresser positioned tightly between a laundry-room doorframe and a narrow side wall. Get Movers moving trucks parked at the nearby Marda Loop Community Association Parking lot were dispatched at 08:22 AM to ensure movers reached the Altadore residence on time for the 08:30 AM start. Our movers began with a detailed walkthrough to confirm the plan, especially regarding the limited clearance which meant the dresser could not be shifted without careful preparation.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the busy residential streets of Altadore, turning onto 33rd Ave SW to access Crowchild Trail, and heading towards the established grid of Renfrew via 16th Ave NE and Russet Rd. The home also included thin glass dessert plates stored inside a compact kitchen cupboard. Each item required individual wrapping and upright packing to remain secure during the short neighbourhood move. As a professional moving company, careful labeling, padding, and balanced loading were essential to keeping the relocation smooth from start to finish.
Tight Hallway Clearance
The dresser was wedged between a doorframe and side wall in the Altadore home, leaving very little space to maneuver without contacting trim or surrounding surfaces.
Fragile Glassware Protection
The dessert plates featured fine, lightweight rims that required individual protection using padded sleeves to prevent pressure damage or breakage during the drive to Renfrew.
Compact Interior Layout
Navigating tight interior spaces required steady handling and controlled movement by experienced movers, ensuring the dresser was positioned exactly where the clients requested.

GPS Track: Utilizing Crowchild Trail and 16 Ave NE to ensure a smooth transition across the Bow River while avoiding downtown congestion.
Local Expertise: Altadore Access & Renfrew Delivery
Relocating from Altadore to Renfrew requires expert movers who understand Calgary’s evolving inner-city geography. From the narrow side-yards of Altadore's modern infills to the hilly, mature streets of Renfrew overlooking the Nose Creek valley, our team navigates these unique routes with ease. This is exactly what the team at Get Movers has been doing for the last 12 years in Calgary.
How we handled it
Once the initial walkthrough of the Altadore residence was complete and the moving plan confirmed, our movers followed a structured, step-by-step process designed to safely manage the tight clearance and fragile items.
Protection & packing
- Dresser protection: The wooden dresser was fully wrapped and reinforced along all edges to protect surfaces during movement through the narrow laundry room gap.
- Individual plate cushioning: Each dessert plate was wrapped separately using padded sleeves to shield the delicate rims from pressure or impact.
- Upright crate packing: Glass plates were packed upright inside reinforced divider crates to prevent shifting or contact during the transport to Renfrew.
Moving method
- Lift-and-slide technique: A slow lift-and-slide motion was used to guide the dresser through the narrow gap without brushing the trim or walls.
- Balanced carry path: Movement was kept steady and controlled while navigating tight interior areas to avoid any accidental contact.
- Sequenced loading: Items were loaded in a clean, balanced order to keep everything stable during transport across the city.

What Our Client Said About This Move
"Chris and Marco were fantastic movers,very efficient while still being careful with all of my things. They arrived around 9:30 and started working right away with no delays. Everything was handled with real care during our move in Altadore. There was a scary moment when we realized my cat had hidden inside the box spring without anyone noticing. Luckily, because the movers were so gentle the entire time, she was found safe and calm once everything was unloaded, which was such a releif. it was an excellent experience and a great deal compared to other movers we checked. I will definetly use GetMovers again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."
