Queen Alexandra Movers, Edmonton

This is the southwest Edmonton picture of a one-bedroom apartment or condo move rather than a Queen Alexandra one. Two movers and one truck handle it, and the median job finishes in 3.88 hours on site, with half of the 50 running between 2.25 and 6.94. Neither mover can take a bed frame or a wardrobe alone, and those are the pieces that set the pace; the boxes out of a single bedroom and a kitchen go out in armloads. $695 is the median total with tax.

A second bedroom's worth of furniture is the difference, and across southwest Edmonton it adds a third mover and about an hour and a half: 3 movers, 1 truck and a 5.5-hour median, with half of the 43 jobs running 3.25 to 7.5 hours. The median total is $1,058 with tax. These are the figures for a move of this size in the communities beside Queen Alexandra rather than for Queen Alexandra itself, which has too few at this size to publish its own.

Three movers, one truck and a median of 8.13 hours on site. That is a full working day rather than a morning. Half of the 32 three-bedroom house or townhouse moves across southwest Edmonton ran 6 to 9.5 hours and cost between $1,068 and $2,280, with $1,613 in the middle. At this size the day takes in a basement and a garage as much as bedrooms, which is why the band is wide, and a walkthrough before the date is what says where in it a particular home falls.

A four-bedroom-plus move is a different kind of day: 4 movers, 1 truck and a median of 8.13 hours on site across southwest Edmonton, with half of the 12 jobs at this size running 5.13 to 11 hours and costing between $1,249 and $2,877 either side of a $2,232 midpoint. The hours match the three-bedroom card exactly: the fourth mover is what keeps a bigger house inside the same working day, and with only twelve jobs behind the band it marks where real days landed rather than setting a rate.
