Job ID: JAN2408302026 ( 5-Bedroom Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
Get Movers Vancouver BC establishes itself as a top-rated moving company in the city by mastering the logistics required for large-scale downtown relocations. This 5-bedroom move from Gastown to Coal Harbour focused on efficient handling during typical January rainy conditions. Moving trucks parked near the EasyPark Lot on Water St were dispatched at 08:15 AM to ensure movers reached the Gastown residence on time for the 08:30 AM start, navigating the one-way streets before tourist traffic peaked.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the historic cobblestones of Water St, utilizing W Cordova St to connect westward, and entering the Coal Harbour community via Burrard St and W Hastings St. All items were loaded in stable, balanced sections to prevent shifting on the downtown slopes. Despite the ambient temperature of 4°C and constant drizzle, we utilized rain-proof runners and plastic wrap to ensure no moisture entered the new home.
Efficient Urban Access
Planning for Gastown's restricted parking zones along Water St allowed for a quick walkthrough and immediate loading sequence, avoiding fines and traffic blockage.
Rain-Proof Protection
All larger household pieces were fully wrapped with plastic and pads inside the home before loading, ensuring safe transit without water damage during the drive to Coal Harbour.
Balanced Loading
Boxes were staged neatly and loaded in stable sections to prevent shifting while navigating the downtown inclines, ensuring priority cartons remained accessible at the new home.
GPS Route Track - Job ID: JAN2408302026
GPS Track: Utilizing Water St and W Hastings St to navigate from the historic district to the waterfront, prioritizing wider lanes for the moving truck to avoid congestion.

Wet Weather Logistics
Our crew planned around the January rain typical of Vancouver, ensuring the truck was positioned to minimize exposure during loading at Water St to protect the client's antique furniture.

Proven residential moving techniques allowed our team to maintain a steady pace, respecting the noise and time regulations of both the historic Gastown building and the new Coal Harbour condo.
