Cactus Moving has successfully relocated hundreds of families across Metro Vancouver and Canada since 2021, from single-family homes in Dunbar to high-rise condos in Yaletown. We're not a franchise; we're a family-owned company that treats every residential move with professional precision. Our trained crews know Metro Vancouver inside and out, from navigating tight Kitsilano streets to handling Coal Harbour tower moves with care. Whether you're moving from a Shaughnessy mansion, a Fairview townhouse, or a Mount Pleasant duplex, we bring the same dedication to protecting your belongings and respecting your timeline. Our full-service approach means we handle everything: professional packing, secure loading, safe transport, and careful placement in your new home. You get expert residential movers who've been trained on thousands of moves, not rushed crews learning on the job. We invest in specialized equipment and ongoing training because your home deserves more than basic service; it deserves the Cactus standard.
Lock in your preferred moving day early at no cost. We hold your date while you finalize keys, elevator bookings, and other details, so prime weekends and month-end slots do not slip away. Change or confirm later without penalty.




From your first call to final walkthrough, our residential moving process eliminates surprises and keeps you informed every step. Expect punctual arrival, careful handling, and professional communication throughout your Vancouver move.
Our first touchpoint is a quick discovery call to understand your move within or outside of Vancouver. Our consultants confirm our availability for your chosen moving dates, help create an inventory, recommend packing options based on your timeline, verify access details for both loading and unloading locations, identify any heavy or special items, and address specific building or elevator requirements.
After we learn your requirements and detailed inventory, we create a personalized quote with crew size, number of trucks, estimated hours, hourly rate, included protections, and a tentative arrival window. We present a transparent quote with no hidden fees and charges, and a service agreement for your approval with a secured moving day in Vancouver.
Book packing and moving together to skip the headache. Our packing professionals protect glassware, art, mirrors, clothes, antique, pianos and electronics with the right materials. One trained team handles every step, saving time for the movers on a moving day, reducing risk of damages, and keeping costs predictable. Your belongings are protected, insured, and arrive in the same condition they left your previous Vancouver residence.
When the moving day comes our crews come on time and fully prepared. We protect floors, doors, railings, and elevators before loading begins (and before unloading begins). All furniture is wrapped in clean moving blankets and handled efficiently even if packing was not included. We load, secure, and safely transport your belongings to a new home.
After we unload everything into your new house we conduct a room by room check to confirm placement and assembly of your furniture. You tell us where you want boxes stacked and furniture oriented before we finish, so you don’t have to move anything around after we are gone.
For local residential moves within Metro Vancouver, no prepayment is required. You pay only after the job is complete and you are 100% satisfied.
With every completed move, you receive a small cactus for your new home. This tradition comes from our founders’ roots and symbolizes strength, growth, and resilience. A simple thank you and a living reminder of a fresh start.
