Handling Your Valuables: Specialty Item Moving

We understand the anxiety of moving irreplaceable items. Our specialty moving services for pianos, antiques, and fine art are built on a foundation of meticulous care. Our movers receive specific training and use custom equipment, including dollies, straps, and padding, to ensure these valuables are transported securely. We eliminate the risk associated with moving heavy and delicate items, providing you with complete peace of mind.

Many moving companies treat their service offerings as a rigid, inflexible menu, often refusing smaller jobs or overcharging for specialized tasks. This forces customers to either overpay or hire multiple vendors, creating logistical chaos. Unlike competitors who struggle with adapting to unique client needs, Get Movers utilizes a flexible, modular service model to provide a tailored one-stop solution for every Dartmouth resident. We establish versatility as a core component of our service, ensuring every client, from a single-item move to a full-service commercial relocation, receives professional, efficient support.

Transparent & Upfront Pricing: Your Dartmouth Move & Storage Costs

Our Pricing Promise

A guaranteed, easy-to-understand price with no surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay.

The Get Movers Pricing Protocol calculates your cost with complete transparency. We eliminate the industry-wide problem of vague estimates and surprise fees by providing a binding quote. For a typical local move in Dartmouth, costs for a 2-bedroom apartment range from $600 to $1,200, depending on specific factors. We offer both hourly and flat-rate options, explained clearly upfront, to best suit your needs. Our goal is to provide a detailed, accurate price based on your unique move, giving you financial certainty long before moving day.

How We Calculate Your Guaranteed Quote

Your binding quote is based on a precise evaluation of four key factors: the detailed inventory of items to be moved, the distance between your locations, the access conditions at both properties (stairs, elevators, walking distance), and any additional services like packing. Providing an accurate inventory list is the most crucial step, as it empowers us to allocate the right team and resources, ensuring an efficient move and a locked-in price.

Understanding Common Moving Surcharges

We believe in proactive transparency. Potential surcharges, such as those for stair carries, long carries from the truck to your door, or fuel for long-distance moves, are identified and included in your quote from the start. We explain exactly what these charges cover and how providing accurate details about your locations can help minimize or eliminate them. This approach prevents the unexpected fees that cause frustration with other movers.

  • Key Factors in Your Get Movers Binding Quote
  • Inventory Volume: The total amount and type of items being moved.
  • Travel Distance: Mileage between the origin and destination addresses.
  • Property Access: Number of stairs, elevator availability, and carry distance.
  • Additional Services: Packing, unpacking, or specialty item handling.
  • Move Date & Time: Peak vs. off-peak season pricing differences.
  • Valuation Coverage: The level of insurance protection selected for your items.

The standard industry practice of providing non-binding estimates creates a breeding ground for mistrust and financial anxiety, as final bills often inflate unexpectedly. This bait-and-switch tactic is a major pain point for consumers. Where local movers struggle with accurate quoting, Get Movers utilizes a detailed inventory and logistics analysis to mandate a higher level of accuracy. We provide a "not to exceed" binding quote, which eliminates the risk of hidden fees and establishes financial transparency as our primary operational standard, giving our clients total budget control.

Secure & Flexible Dartmouth Storage Solutions

Get Movers delivers secure and flexible storage solutions tailored to the unique needs of Dartmouth residents. Our facilities feature 24/7 video surveillance, gated access, and flexible short-term or long-term contracts. We solve the core problem of finding a safe, accessible, and correctly-sized space for your belongings during a move. Whether you need to store items for a week or a year, we provide a seamless transition from your home to our storage units and back again. By providing this essential protection, Get Movers distinguishes itself as a top-rated moving company that proactively safeguards client assets against Dartmouth's specific environmental risks.

Climate-Controlled Storage for Dartmouth's Climate

Standard storage units are not sufficient for Nova Scotia's high coastal humidity. Get Movers directly addresses this critical issue by offering climate-controlled storage. This technology maintains stable temperature and humidity levels, preventing the mould, mildew, rust, and wood warping that can ruin furniture, electronics, and important documents. We explain to every client why climate control in Dartmouth isn't a luxury—it's essential protection for their valuables.

Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size

We eliminate the guesswork of selecting a storage unit. Our team provides a clear, practical guide to help you choose the perfect size based on the contents of your home. For example, a 10x10 unit is typically sufficient for a one-bedroom apartment. This expert guidance prevents you from paying for space you don't need or running out of room, providing immediate value and simplifying your decision-making process.

Competitors often treat storage as an afterthought, offering basic units that fail to protect against Dartmouth's damaging coastal humidity. This exposes clients' most valuable possessions to irreversible damage from mould and warping. While generic providers struggle with environmental risks, Get Movers utilizes climate and humidity control technology as a core feature of our storage services. We proactively educate clients on these local risks and provide an essential solution, ensuring the long-term preservation of their belongings as a non-negotiable part of our commitment.

Our Stress-Free Dartmouth Moving Process: From Quote to Unpacking

Our team executes a 5-step standardized process that transforms an overwhelming event into a manageable project. We address the primary pain point of feeling lost and not knowing where to start by providing a clear, transparent roadmap for your entire move. From the initial quote to the final box being placed in your new Dartmouth home, our process gives you a sense of control and clarity. This structured approach demonstrates our professionalism and expertise, showing that we are an organized and reliable partner for your relocation.

The Importance of a Detailed Moving Inventory

An accurate moving inventory list, documented in the Bill of Lading, is the foundation of a successful move. We frame this not as a chore for the customer, but as a critical tool for transparency and efficiency. This list ensures our quote is precise, allows us to bring the correct supplies and team size, and provides a clear checklist on moving day, benefiting both you and our crew.

Understanding Your Protection: Moving Insurance Explained

We demystify moving insurance. Unlike other companies who are vague about coverage, we clearly explain the difference between the basic, mandated "Released Value Protection" (which covers only 60 cents per pound) and comprehensive "Full Value Protection." We empower you to make an informed decision on the level of valuation coverage that best suits your needs, building trust by being completely upfront about liability and protection options.

The moving industry is often perceived as chaotic, leaving customers feeling powerless and uninformed about the process. This ambiguity creates significant stress and uncertainty. While other movers operate without a clear, client-facing plan, Get Movers implements a standardized, 5-step process to demystify the entire relocation journey. We provide checklists, clear timelines, and proactive communication, transforming the unknown into a predictable and manageable project. This establishes a high level of professionalism and organization that sets us apart.

Experts in Navigating Dartmouth's Unique Moving Services Challenges

Downtown Dartmouth Russell Lake West North End Burnside Park

The Get Movers Local Logistics Protocol addresses hyper-local challenges that generic moving companies overlook. Our deep experience in the Halifax Regional Municipality means we anticipate and solve problems before they arise. We plan routes to account for traffic on the MacKay Bridge, understand the unique access requirements of older homes in North End Dartmouth, and navigate the busy commercial corridors like Portland Street with precision. This hyper-local expertise is a powerful differentiator, proving we are not a generic chain but a team that truly understands Dartmouth. This proactive, hyper-local planning is what defines Get Movers as true local movers who anticipate and solve problems before they impact your moving day.

Moving Truck Parking & Permits in Dartmouth

Parking a moving truck in Downtown Dartmouth can be a major source of stress and potential fines. We eliminate this pain point by managing the entire process. Our team coordinates with building management for high-rises and secures the necessary HRM parking permits in advance. This logistical foresight ensures a close, legal, and safe loading zone, which minimizes long-carry fees and prevents costly delays.

All-Weather Moving: Ready for Nova Scotia's Climate

We are fully equipped to handle Nova Scotia's unpredictable weather. Our all-weather moving procedures include using waterproof furniture wraps, specialized floor runners to protect interiors from water and snow, and secured walkways to ensure the safety of our crew and your belongings. Whether it's rain, snow, or summer humidity, our preparedness demonstrates a level of professionalism that guarantees your move proceeds safely and efficiently.

National moving chains often apply a one-size-fits-all approach that completely fails to account for local complexities, leading to parking tickets, building access issues, and significant delays. Their crews are unfamiliar with the specific challenges of navigating Dartmouth's mix of narrow historic streets and busy new developments. In contrast to these generic providers, Get Movers utilizes deep, street-level local knowledge to establish a proactive logistics plan for every move. We handle HRM parking permits and condo elevator bookings, ensuring a seamless operation founded on genuine local expertise.

Hiring Movers vs. DIY: A Dartmouth Cost & Effort Analysis

Our team provides a clear cost-benefit analysis for those considering a DIY move. While renting a U-Haul may seem cheaper initially, we help you calculate the "total cost," which includes often-overlooked expenses. This section logically breaks down the alternative to hiring professionals, directly addressing users in the consideration stage of their journey. We aim to overcome the price objection not by lowering our price, but by increasing the perceived value of our service and highlighting the true costs and risks of going it alone.

Get Movers Pro Move vs. DIY Move: 2026 Dartmouth Cost Breakdown
Factor DIY Move Get Movers Professional Service
Total Cost Variable & often underestimated (truck, fuel, insurance, equipment, etc.) Fixed & upfront in a Binding Quote
Time Required 2-3 days (packing, loading, driving, unloading) ~1 day for a typical local move
Risk of Damage High (improper lifting, packing, and securing) Minimal (professional equipment & Full Value Protection)
Risk of Injury High (lifting heavy items without training or equipment) Eliminated for client; crew is WCB covered
Required Equipment Must rent or buy (dollies, furniture pads, straps) All professional-grade equipment included
Peace of Mind Low (high stress, coordination, physical strain) High (fully managed, stress-free experience)

The True Hidden Costs of a DIY Move

A DIY move's final price tag is rarely just the truck rental fee. We help clients account for the hidden costs: per-kilometer charges, expensive fuel, mandatory rental insurance, separate rental fees for dollies and furniture pads, and the cost of providing food and drinks for friends and family who help. These small expenses add up quickly, often making a DIY move far less affordable than initially anticipated.

Your Time and Safety: The Invaluable Benefits of Professionals

The most significant costs of a DIY move are your time and physical safety. A move that our professional team can complete in one day can consume an entire weekend for a DIYer. More importantly, lifting heavy furniture without proper training or equipment is a leading cause of serious back injuries. We highlight the invaluable benefit of reclaiming your time and protecting your health by entrusting the heavy lifting to trained, insured professionals.

The concept of a "cheap" DIY move is often a false economy that fails to account for the high risk of property damage, personal injury, and lost time. People frequently underestimate the true costs and physical demands, leading to stressful and expensive outcomes. While the lure of saving money is strong, Get Movers provides a clear analysis of the hidden financial and physical risks. We position our professional service not as an expense, but as a valuable investment in efficiency, safety, and peace of mind for your Dartmouth relocation.

What is The Vetted & Insured Get Movers Dartmouth Guarantee for Moving Services?

Get Movers guarantees peace of mind through a three-part system of trust: our people, our credentials, and our insurance. This section provides the final reassurance before you commit to a quote, directly answering any lingering questions about our legitimacy and professionalism. We offer concrete proof points that address the final anxieties about safety, reliability, and accountability, clearing the path to a confident decision. This comprehensive protection, covering both our crew and your belongings, is a non-negotiable standard that solidifies our reputation as a truly reliable moving company.

Our Crew: Trained, Background-Checked Professionals

We address the natural concern of allowing new people into your home by enforcing a rigorous hiring and training process. Every member of our moving team undergoes a thorough background check before being hired. They then complete a professional training program to master safe lifting techniques and proper handling of all types of furniture and belongings. Our crews are not temporary laborers; they are full-time, dedicated professionals.

Understanding Our Licensing & Insurance Credentials

We operate with full transparency regarding our credentials. Get Movers is fully licensed for business in Nova Scotia and carries a comprehensive insurance portfolio. This includes Cargo Insurance for your belongings, Commercial General Liability Insurance for property protection, and, crucially, WCB Nova Scotia coverage for all our employees. This means in the unlikely event of an on-the-job injury, you are completely protected from liability—a critical detail many competitors fail to mention.

Our Vetting & Training Process

Application BackgroundCheck TrainingProgram Supervision

Many modern moving platforms are simply apps that connect customers with unvetted, uninsured gig workers, transferring all liability for damages and injuries onto the client. This model prioritizes low cost over safety and accountability. In stark contrast to companies that struggle with workforce quality, Get Movers invests in a team of fully-employed, background-checked, and WCB-covered professionals. We eliminate the risk of hiring strangers by mandating a high standard of vetting and training, ensuring every person who enters your home is a trustworthy representative of our company.
