Can you move furniture and belongings to cottages via ferry?

Yes — we coordinate all ferry schedules and ensure that furniture and belongings are loaded and unloaded safely. Dollies, padding, and team coordination are used to move items along narrow boardwalks and pedestrian paths without damage. Even heavy or bulky items are handled efficiently.

How do you handle pedestrian-only paths and narrow walkways?

Toronto Islands have many pedestrian-only paths and boardwalks. Our team carefully plans the route, uses padding and protective gear, and carries items safely. Fragile furniture and boxes are transported securely, ensuring smooth and damage-free delivery.

Can you manage seasonal moves to cottages on the islands?

Yes — we handle both summer and off-season moves. Seasonal belongings are carefully packed, transported via ferry, and carried along boardwalks. Timing is coordinated with the ferry schedule and dock access to make the move seamless and stress-free.

How do you handle small cottages or homes with tight staircases?

Many cottages and homes on the Toronto Islands have narrow staircases and small entrances. Our movers carefully maneuver furniture and fragile items, use padding to protect walls and floors, and disassemble larger pieces when necessary to ensure safe transport.

What if dock access is limited or requires long carries?

We plan for limited dock access by bringing dollies, extra manpower, and protective padding. Long carries from docks to homes or cottages are managed safely, ensuring all items are transported without scratches, dents, or other damage.

Can you accommodate urgent or last-minute moves on the islands?

Yes — if availability allows, we handle short-notice moves without compromising safety or quality. Our team coordinates packing, ferry scheduling, and long carries efficiently, making even last-minute moves smooth and stress-free.

Yes — ferry schedules, rain, wind, or icy paths can affect moves. Our team adapts using floor runners, protective wraps, and careful handling. We ensure all belongings are safely transported regardless of weather conditions.

Do you provide packing services for fragile items on the islands?

Yes — we offer full, partial, and fragile-only packing services. Electronics, glassware, and furniture are carefully wrapped, labeled, and transported securely. Proper packing ensures items remain damage-free during ferry transport and long carries along pedestrian paths.

Can you provide storage for seasonal or temporary relocation?
