Parkdale Movers, Edmonton

Because the jobs recorded here have been shorter: a 2.25-hour median on site against 3.75 across the 79 moves in the surrounding communities, which on an hourly rate is most of the $444 against $665 gap. Parkdale's own sample is small and sits entirely at the small end of the size grading, so for a larger home the northeast band is the better guide, with half of it between $442 and $1,024.

The middle job here ran 2.25 hours on site, with half of the moves between 2 and 3.88 hours and a median crew of 2 movers. That is well under the 3.75-hour median across the northeast Edmonton set. Since there is no charge for travel time within city limits, those are the hours the crew is actually working rather than the hours it is away from the yard.

$540 is the median for a one-bedroom apartment or condo move across northeast Edmonton, with half of those 24 jobs between $437 and $768. It is 2 movers, 1 truck and 3.25 hours on site at the midpoint: a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen's worth of boxes. Parkdale has too few moves of that size to publish its own figure, so the card covers the communities beside it.

The median is $1,072 across northeast Edmonton, on 3 movers, 1 truck and 5 hours on site, with half of those 7 jobs between $796 and $1,340. Seven moves is a thin base, so it describes the middle of a handful of real days rather than a rate. At this size the day takes in a basement and a garage as much as bedrooms.

No. The hourly rate does not change by month, so no date in Parkdale is priced differently from another. What moves with the season is how much work there is: across the northeast Edmonton communities the busiest months have been August, June and July. Because the rate is hourly and travel time within city limits is not charged, the real lever on a total is the size of the job.
