What does a two-bedroom move in Montgomery cost?

$677 is the median two-bedroom move in Montgomery, from 7 priced jobs, with half of them between $421 and $840. That is two movers, one truck and 4.75 hours on site in the middle. Seven jobs is a thin base, so read the median rather than the edges of the band.

What does a three-bedroom move in Montgomery cost?

$1,683 is the median three-bedroom move in Montgomery, but it rests on just 5 priced jobs, with half of them between $1,270 and $1,808. That is three movers, one truck and 7 hours on site. With five jobs behind it, treat the figure as the middle of a handful rather than as a quote for your own house.

Why do the three-bedroom and four-bedroom figures on this page look so close?

Because they are drawn at different scopes. The three-bedroom median of $1,683 is Montgomery's own and rests on 5 jobs, while the four-bedroom-plus median of $1,657 comes from 57 moves across the northwest Calgary communities around it, because Montgomery has fewer than five of its own at that size. A five-job median can sit anywhere inside its own spread, so the two are not directly comparable.

Do I need to book an elevator for a Montgomery move?

Usually not. Apartments are a small share of Montgomery's homes, and most jobs here start at a front door on a street rather than at a shared entrance. What replaces that question is the kerb: a truck that has to hold road space needs Calgary's Street Use Permit, stated at $31.50 per day for shorter-term use, with the temporary no-parking permit included and at least 5 days' notice.

Movers in Montgomery: what we know about moving here

Montgomery splits almost exactly down the middle between owning and renting, and that does more to shape the calendar here than the size of the community does. Roughly half the homes are single-detached and more than a quarter are duplexes, with apartments a small minority. A job here is usually a front door on a street rather than a lobby and a lift, whichever side of the tenure split it comes from.

The work is short and consistent. Thirty-five timed jobs put the middle move at 3.5 hours on site, half of them between 2 and 4.88 hours, and the middle half used exactly two movers. Sixty-nine per cent graded small. Twenty-eight priced jobs give a $589 median against $777 across the 37 northwest Calgary communities around it, and the gap sits in the work rather than in the rate: an hourly job that ends early costs what it costs.

Montgomery neighbourhood guide for moving day

Duplexes are more than a quarter of Montgomery's housing and apartments only a small fraction of it, so most jobs here start at a front door on a street rather than at a building entrance with a lift to reserve. What that shifts is the parking question. A truck at the kerb on a street built out in the 1950s may need Calgary's Street Use Permit, which costs $31.50 a day for shorter-term use, carries the temporary no-parking permit inside it, and takes at least 5 days to arrange. Raise it when you book rather than on the morning. Owners and renters are close to evenly split, which means possession dates and lease ends both fill this calendar.

What a move in Montgomery actually looks like

Four sizes of move, cut out of 35 completed residential jobs in Montgomery. Another 19 were storage runs, container loads and part-home jobs whose paperwork records no bedroom count; they belong to none of the four.

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Northwest Calgary

$633
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $438 and $890 · 183 moves

3.5 hours on site half ran 2.5–5.38 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Montgomery has fewer than five one-bedroom moves of its own, so this card describes that size across the northwest Calgary communities around it: 183 of them, a $633 median, and 3.5 hours on site with two movers and one truck. Half ran between 2.5 and 5.38 hours, and half of the prices fell between $438 and $890. On a street of houses and duplexes the walk from door to truck is usually short, which is what keeps a job this size toward the shorter hours.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Calgary, across 183 moves.

A two-bedroom move in Montgomery

Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $421 and $840 · 7 moves

4.75 hours on site half ran 3–4.88 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Seven two-bedroom moves in Montgomery carry a settled price, and their median is $677 with half of them between $421 and $840. Two movers and one truck, and the middle day is 4.75 hours on site with half running 3 to 4.88 hours. It accounts for 20% of the work here, and on a seven-job base the median is the number to read rather than the edges of the band.

Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,270 and $1,808 · 5 moves

7 hours on site half ran 6.25–8 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Only 5 three-bedroom moves in Montgomery carry a settled price, so read the $1,683 median as the middle of a very small set. Half of the five fell between $1,270 and $1,808, a tight band on a thin base. Three movers and one truck, with the middle day at 7 hours on site and half running 6.25 to 8 hours. At 14% of the work here, this is the size at which a walkthrough before the date does the most work.

A four-bedroom-plus house move in Northwest Calgary

$1,657
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,062 and $2,458 · 57 moves

7 hours on site half ran 4.75–9.75 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A northwest Calgary figure rather than a Montgomery one: 57 four-bedroom-plus moves at that scope, a $1,657 median, 7 hours on site, and three movers with one truck. Half of those days ran between 4.75 and 9.75 hours, and half of the prices between $1,062 and $2,458. That is a far deeper base than the three-bedroom card above rests on, which is worth remembering when the two figures look close: they are drawn at different scopes.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Calgary, across 57 moves.

How much does it cost to move in Montgomery?

The median local move in Montgomery costs $589, total with tax, and half of the 28 priced jobs closed here fell between $407 and $964. That sits under the $777 median across the 37 northwest Calgary communities around it, and the reason is the work rather than the rate: 69% of these jobs graded small and the middle day ran 3.5 hours. Cactus bills by the hour, with the rate set by crew size and truck size and stated in the agreement before the crew starts.

Moving to Montgomery, or out of it

Slightly more of the moves attributed to Montgomery are people leaving than arriving: 17 out against 15 in, 49% against 43%. At 35 jobs in total that is a move or two rather than a direction of travel. What is genuinely even here is the tenure: owners and renters are close to half and half, so possession dates and lease ends fill the calendar in roughly equal measure, and the two behave differently. A sale sets a fixed hour; a tenancy sets a fixed day.

A move out of Montgomery usually ends somewhere in the ring of northwest communities around it, Bowness, Hillhurst and Varsity among the busiest of them. Either direction, the crew, the truck and the hourly rate are the same, and travel time within city limits is not charged, so what the invoice measures is the hours worked at both ends of the day.

First time ever using a moving company and cactus provided an excellent experience. I was the last of the day, and the guys (Carlos) were excellent. They made my move so easy. They went above and beyond. Prices since I moved mid month were worth it.

We had an amazing experience with Cactus. The entire process starting from the booking to final move was smooth and seamless. We changed the date and time a few times and James was most accommodating and prompt with all our requests. On moving day, our movers Vlad and Elgiz did a tremendous job.
