Movers in Evansdale: what we know about moving here

Evansdale has no dominant housing type. Detached houses are the commonest kind here, but low-rise apartments and row houses together account for nearly as much of the neighbourhood, and ownership and renting are close to evenly divided, so the moves booked here are genuinely not of one kind. One job is a family's contents coming out of a house with a driveway; the next is a walk-up flat with a shared stair and a lease date. Nothing in Evansdale stands five storeys or more, so no job here waits on a tower lift, though plenty wait on stairs.

The figures below come from the ring of northeast Edmonton communities Evansdale sits inside, which is the closest measure we hold of what a move in this part of the city takes.

Moving costs around Evansdale, by the numbers

Belvedere, Parkdale and Clareview Town Centre sit in that ring of 34 northeast Edmonton communities, which carry 99 completed residential moves between them. Three-quarters were small jobs. The middle one ran 4 hours on site and came to $679 with tax in, and half of them landed between $447 and $1,083. Ninety-nine moves is a modest sample, so read that as a range to plan against rather than a quotation.

How much does it cost to move in Evansdale?

The median residential move across the northeast Edmonton communities around Evansdale costs $679, total cost with tax, with half of the 99 completed jobs falling between $447 and $1,083. Cactus prices a local move by the hour, at a rate the crew size and the truck size set between them, and the agreement carries it before anyone starts.

  • How long does a move in Evansdale take?

    The middle move across the 99 recorded in the communities around Evansdale ran 4 hours on site, with half of them between 2.25 and 5.63 hours. Because the rate is hourly and there is no charge for travel time within city limits, those on-site hours are the whole of the bill. Stairs at either end are the single thing most likely to push a job toward the longer figure.

  • Is an apartment move in Evansdale cheaper than a house move?

    Usually, and the reason is time rather than rate: a local move is billed by the hour, so a walk-up flat and a detached house carry the same rate and take different lengths of day. In Evansdale the vertical part of that day is a staircase rather than a lift, since no home in the neighbourhood is in a building of five storeys or more. The middle job across the surrounding communities ran 4 hours.

  • What is included in the hourly rate for a move in Evansdale?

    The movers and a truck sized to the job, with the hourly rate written into the agreement before the work begins. That $679 median across the surrounding communities is a total with tax rather than a subtotal. Packing services and bin rentals are available in Evansdale and are quoted separately.

Evansdale neighbourhood guide for moving day

The useful thing to settle before booking in Evansdale is which of its three housing types you are moving out of, because the crew and the truck are chosen for the answer: a detached house with a drive, a row house with an attached entry, or a walk-up with a shared stair. None of them involves a tower lift. The kerb is the other item. Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit is what covers a truck standing in the roadway, it currently carries no fee, and it wants 6 working days of notice on low-impact work and 10 on high-impact.

    Ivan and Serg were very professional. Nothing was damaged during the move. They arrived on time and it was a overall smooth process! The company seems to hire professional movers which is nice in comparison to what I have seen in the past with other companies.

    This is my third time using this company. From booking and finalizing with Becca to the moving service from Nikita, George and Vlad, I am very satisfied. My heavy move took 7 hours of their very hard work. I also recieved a couple small gifts from the company, as well, on the day of.

    If I could give more stars I would. I have never had a better moving experience than I had today with George and Michael they were efficient and so careful with all of our belongings and they were so kind and patient when I would give them instructions on where to go with what.
