    Strathcona Moving Tips and Local Planning Notes



  • The "Stair" Factor: Many heritage homes and older buildings in Strathcona have multiple levels or basement entries. Most movers charge their standard hourly rate, but the move will take longer if there are many stairs. Always mention the number of flights when booking.


  • Parking Considerations: Strathcona's narrow streets and heritage status can make parking challenging. It's often beneficial to contact the City of Vancouver for temporary "No Parking" signs, especially on narrower residential streets or for truck placement.


  • Tight Turns: Many homes in Strathcona, particularly those with older architectural designs or established landscaping, can have tight entryways or staircase turns. Measure your doorways and ensure larger furniture can pass or be disassembled/reassembled by professionals.

Get Movers Vancouver BC applies these same Strathcona planning steps—multiple levels, access timing, and parking coordination—backed by insured moves, “Guaranteed Protection” policy, written estimates, transparent hourly pricing, and Not-to-Exceed options (when eligible).
