Why do Grovenor moves vary so much in length?

Because half of them ran anywhere between 2.94 and 6.44 hours, around a 3.38-hour median. That is a wider spread than the 2.75 to 5.75 band across the 262 moves in the surrounding northwest communities. Grovenor is mostly detached houses with a small apartment and semi-detached fringe, and at one hourly rate those are different lengths of day.

What does a three-bedroom house move cost near Grovenor?

$1,666 is the median for a three-bedroom house move across the northwest Edmonton communities around Grovenor, from 15 completed jobs, with half of them between $1,100 and $2,728. That is 3 movers, 1 truck and 6.5 hours on site. Since Grovenor is mostly detached housing, that card is the closer read for a whole-house move here than six priced jobs can be.

How long does a move in Grovenor take?

The middle move recorded inside Grovenor ran 3.38 hours on site, with half of the 8 jobs between 2.94 and 6.44 hours and crews of 2 to 3. The comparable median across the 262 moves in the surrounding northwest communities is 4 hours. Travel time within city limits is not charged, so those on-site hours are what the invoice is built from.

Do you charge for travel time to Grovenor?

No. Travel time within city limits is not charged, so a Grovenor move is billed only for the hours the crew is working. There is no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge either; the hourly rate in the agreement covers the movers and a truck sized to the job.

Movers in Grovenor: what we know about moving here

The at least 8 residential moves Cactus has completed inside Grovenor are notable less for their midpoint than for their spread. The middle one ran 3.38 hours on site, but half of them fell anywhere between 2.94 and 6.44 hours: a crew of 2 finishing before lunch on one job and still loading in the afternoon on another. Prices have been tighter: a $517 median across the 6 that closed with a comparable local total, with the middle half between $479 and $532.

Grovenor is a detached-house neighbourhood, owner-occupied, with a small share of low-rise apartment and semi-detached housing beside it and nothing at five storeys. That mix is what the hours are showing: a house and a flat on the same street carry the same hourly rate and make two different days.

Grovenor neighbourhood guide for moving day

Grovenor is detached housing with a small apartment and semi-detached fringe, and nothing in it is in a building of five storeys or more. The constraint is not a vertical one. It is where the truck can stand and how long the walk to the door runs, which is also why our own hours here spread as widely as they do. Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit governs taking street space, with 6 working days of notice for low-impact work such as a move and 10 for heavier jobs; processing itself runs around 6 business days, so leave a full week.

What it costs: No fee currently: OSCAM Permits associated with Temporary Crossing, Tree Shrub Hoarding and Waste Bin, POD or SeaCan work reasons currently have no fees associated with them. A daily permitting fee for on-street placement of commercial waste bins, PODs or SeaCans is planned but is on hold until further notice.
How much notice: Average processing time is 6 business days. Low-impact projects should be submitted a minimum of 6 working days prior to start of work; high-impact projects a minimum of 10 working days. Longer processing during peak construction season (March to October).

Grovenor moving costs, by the numbers

These 8 are the residential jobs recorded inside Grovenor's boundary since 2024, and the count is a floor rather than a total. Two of the 8 carry no closed price, which is why the cost band names 6 instead. At that sample size the quartiles, 2.94 to 6.44 hours, tell you more than the 3.38-hour median does.

What a local move cost: $517 median
Residential moves in Grovenor: at least 8

What a move this size costs in Northwest Edmonton

Sizes of move cut out of the completed residential jobs in Northwest Edmonton, the communities beside this one. Grovenor has fewer than five of its own at each size, and a band resting on fewer than five moves is not published here at any scope.

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Northwest Edmonton

$730
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $532 and $983 · 93 moves

4.25 hours on site half ran 3–5.5 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move across the northwest Edmonton communities beside Grovenor runs 4.25 hours on site at the median with 2 movers and 1 truck, and half of the 93 jobs behind it took between 3 and 5.5 hours. Half of those 93 came to between $532 and $983. The hourly rate is the same one every size of job is billed at.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Edmonton, across 93 moves.

A two-bedroom apartment or condo move in Northwest Edmonton

$803
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $576 and $1,317 · 51 moves

4.5 hours on site half ran 3.5–6.75 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A two-bedroom apartment or condo in northwest Edmonton is still a 2-mover, 1-truck job, and the median day runs 4.5 hours across 51 completed moves, with half of them between 3.5 and 6.75 hours. The middle half of the money runs $576 to $1,317, a far wider band than the hours, because a second bedroom's worth of boxes varies much more than its furniture does. Packing services are available and quoted separately.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Edmonton, across 51 moves.

A three-bedroom house move in Northwest Edmonton

$1,666
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,100 and $2,728 · 15 moves

6.5 hours on site half ran 5.88–9.25 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A three-bedroom house is where the crew goes to 3 movers and the median day to 6.5 hours, across 15 completed northwest Edmonton moves with half of them between 5.88 and 9.25 hours. The band on the money is correspondingly wide, $1,100 to $2,728 for the middle half of those 15, because at this size the basement and the garage decide the day more than the bedroom count does. A walkthrough before the date is what narrows it.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Edmonton, across 15 moves.

Residential moving done right! Fantastic company. We used them today for our 2 bedroom move and everything went fantastic. The movers showed up on time and we got a free gift of coffee from their office to kick start our morning! Very nice personal touch. Both movers were polite and professional.

The service was fantastic! My mother and I needed movers for all our oversized furniture and bins/boxes. The customer service throughout the process of scouting services and using their services was terrific. Andrey and Vadim quickly moved everything and even removed our junk within the same day!

Widen out and Grovenor sits inside 25 northwest Edmonton communities carrying 262 residential moves between them. Oliver and Downtown are the heaviest contributors, and behind them come Queen Mary Park, Westmount, Inglewood and Glenora. Their middle job ran 4 hours and their median was $707 with tax, half of the jobs between $490 and $1,079. Grovenor's own jobs have come in under that on price, though 6 priced moves is a thin base and the hours here reach further than the pooled set does.

Figures come from Cactus’s own completed residential moves (business and high-frequency accounts excluded) and from official municipal open data; they are medians and quartiles, never averages, every published figure rests on at least five moves, percentages are rounded, and all-time counts are floors because some older pickup and drop-off addresses were never geocoded.
