What This Move Involved: Apartment Relocation from Plateau-Mont-Royal to Saint-Henri
This move involved relocating an apartment from Plateau-Mont-Royal to Saint-Henri, with immediate attention required for a tall wooden storage armoire positioned tightly beside a narrow double-door entry. Due to the limited clearance, the armoire had to be addressed first before any general packing could begin.
The home also included fragile crystal dessert bowls with thin etched rims, which required individual packing and secure handling during the short Montreal relocation. Careful access planning, item-specific protection, and coordinated handling by our movers helped keep the move smooth and damage-free from start to finish.
Narrow Double-Door Entry
The tall wooden armoire was positioned tightly beside a narrow double-door entry, requiring careful planning and controlled movement before other items could be packed or removed.
Tall Wooden Storage Armoire
Due to its height and solid construction, the armoire required furniture protection and precise handling to navigate the limited entry clearance safely.
Fragile Crystal Dessert Bowls
Each crystal bowl was individually packed to protect the thin etched rims, ensuring stability and damage prevention during the move to Saint-Henri.

Relocating from Plateau-Mont-Royal to Saint-Henri requires experienced movers who understand Montreal’s dense residential layouts, older building access points, and neighborhood-specific logistics.
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 move.
Protection & packing
- Full armoire wrapping: The tall wooden storage armoire was completely wrapped and reinforced along all edges to protect surfaces while navigating the narrow double-door entry.
- Individual crystal protection: Each crystal dessert bowl was wrapped separately using cushioned sleeves to prevent rim damage and movement during transport.
- Upright divider crating: Fragile bowls were packed upright inside reinforced divider crates to keep them separated and stable throughout the move.
Moving method
- Lift-and-shift doorway technique: A slow, controlled lift-and-shift method was used to guide the armoire cleanly through the double-door frame without contacting walls or trim.
- Protected carry-out path: Floor runners were placed along the exit route to maintain a clean, damage-free pathway to the truck.
- Balanced truck loading: Items were loaded in a balanced sequence to prevent shifting and ensure stability during the drive to Saint-Henri.
