Job ID: JAN2208302026 ( Residential Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
This residential move from Old Toronto to Parkdale focused on the efficient and careful handling of a two-bedroom home during a period of heavy snowfall. Get Movers moving trucks parked at the nearby Green P Esplanade Parking lot were dispatched at 08:22 AM to make sure movers reached the Old Toronto residence on Front St E on time for the 08:30 AM start. Our movers began with a detailed walkthrough of the home to confirm the moving plan, specifically noting a tall wooden display cabinet located beside a narrow interior column that required expert maneuvering.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the slushy downtown streets, turning onto Wellington St W and heading towards the Victorian streetscapes of Parkdale via Queen St W. Despite 21+ centimeters of snow accumulation, all items were loaded in a logical order. We removed internal shelves from the display cabinet and wrapped delicate glass dessert cups individually in cushioned sleeves. This level of local precision is why Get Movers remains a trusted name in Toronto. Everything arrived safely at the new home on Tyndall Ave despite the unseasonably cold weather conditions.
Efficient Home Access
Planning for Old Toronto's historic layout, often featuring narrow interior columns and tight gaps, allowed for smooth loading using a careful lift‑and‑rotate method to guide furniture without touching walls.
Careful Furniture Protection
The tall wooden display cabinet was fully wrapped with robust protective padding before maneuvering, ensuring the frame remained secure and scratch-free during the transit to Parkdale.
Fragile Glass Handling
Delicate glass dessert cups with thin, fragile rims were wrapped one at a time in cushioned sleeves and packed upright inside reinforced divider crates to maintain stability throughout the drive.

Local Expertise: Old Toronto Access & Parkdale Delivery
Relocating from Old Toronto to Parkdale requires expert movers who understand Toronto’s dense urban geography and winter challenges. From the tight, historic interiors of Old Toronto to the older residential setbacks of Parkdale near the lake, 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.
How we handled it
Once the initial walkthrough of the Old Toronto residence was complete and the item-specific plan confirmed, our movers followed a structured, step-by-step process designed to eliminate last-minute changes and ensure reliability in extreme cold.
Protection & packing
- Thermal Shock Protocol: Detected ambient temperature of -10°C. Therefore, we activated the 'Thermal Shock Protocol.' Applied heavy-duty wool blankets inside the heated home before exiting to prevent antique varnish cracking on the display cabinet.
- Glassware Protection: Each delicate dessert cup with thin rims was wrapped one at a time in cushioned sleeves and packed upright inside reinforced divider crates to ensure zero breakage.
- Secure load stability: Items were packed tightly and securely within the truck to withstand the drive along Toronto’s slushy roads, preventing shifting during transit to Parkdale.
Moving method
- Calm & steady pace: The team maintained a calm pace throughout the day despite the 21cm of snow, ensuring no rushed decisions were made, which contributed to the safety of the fragile items.
- Maneuvering Technique: Used a careful lift‑and‑rotate method to guide the tall wooden cabinet around narrow interior columns without touching the walls or damaging the finish.
- Logical unloading: By loading items in a logical order at Old Toronto, the unloading process at Parkdale was simplified, allowing for efficient room-by-room placement of the cabinet and crates.
