McKernan Movers, Edmonton

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move across southwest Edmonton is two movers and one truck, and the middle of the 49 recorded finished in 4 hours on site. The middle half is wide for this size, 3 to 7 hours, which is what stairs, lift access and the distance from the door to the truck do to an otherwise predictable load: a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen's worth of boxes. McKernan has fewer than five of this size, so the card is the wider southwest set.

At two bedrooms the southwest Edmonton median moves up to three movers and one truck, and the middle of the 42 recorded ran 6 hours on site against 4 for a one-bedroom. The third mover is what keeps the day from stretching further, since more hands on the same load means fewer trips and the bill is hourly. Half of these jobs came to between $616 and $1,744. McKernan has fewer than five moves of this size of its own, so the figures describe the surrounding communities.

A three-bedroom house or townhouse move across southwest Edmonton runs 8 hours on site at the median of the 28 recorded, with three movers and one truck: a full day, not a morning. Half fell between $1,031 and $2,191, and the reason the band is that wide is that at this size the garage and the basement count for as much as the bedrooms do. A walkthrough before the date is the thing that settles which way a job of this size goes.

A four-bedroom-plus house move is a different kind of day: four movers, one truck and a median of 8.13 hours on site across the 12 recorded in southwest Edmonton, with the middle half running 5.13 to 11 hours. Half came to between $1,249 and $2,877. The hourly rate is the one every other job on this page is billed at; what makes the day long is how much of the house is packed before the crew arrives. McKernan has fewer than five moves this size, so these are regional figures.
