Job ID: JAN2208302026 ( Residential Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
Get Movers Vancouver BC mandates high standards for every job, positioning itself as a top-rated moving company in the city by executing precise logistics for this apartment relocation. This residential move from Greektown to South Main focused on efficient handling during typical January winter conditions. Moving trucks parked near the Arbutus St lot were dispatched at 08:15 AM to ensure movers reached the residence on Vine St near West Broadway on time for the 08:30 AM start.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the busy morning traffic along West Broadway, utilizing Kingsway to connect eastward, and entering the South Main community via 12th Ave and Sophia St. All items were loaded in a logical order to prioritize efficient unloading, ensuring a clean and stress-free delivery at the new South Main home. Despite the cold January temperature of -2°C and wet snow, we activated our 'Moisture Control Protocol,' using heavy-duty blankets and shrink wrap inside the heated apartment before exiting to prevent moisture damage and thermal shock to the mid-century finishes.
Efficient Home Access
Planning for the tight corner in the Greektown apartment allowed for the safe removal of the heavy mid-century coffee table, utilizing an angle-shift technique to clear the doorway without incident.
Careful Furniture Protection
The oversized glass insert was padded and boxed separately, while the wooden frame was wrapped in protective blankets, ensuring the delicate mid-century piece survived the drive down Kingsway.
Specialized Packing
Hand-etched glass custard dishes were individually wrapped in shock-resistant sleeves and secured in reinforced divider crates, ensuring total protection for the client's fragile collection.
