Guildwood is a settled, owner-occupied piece of northeast Toronto: close to four homes in five are owned rather than rented, and just over half are single-detached. What that means for a crew is that most jobs here start at a driveway and follow a closing date rather than the end of a lease, and that a good share of them come out of houses lived in for a long time, where the basement, the garage and the years of accumulation are as much of the day as the bedrooms are.
About a quarter of homes sit in a building of five storeys or more, so the lobby job is real here without being the pattern. The figures set out below cover the ring of communities Guildwood sits inside.
Moving costs around Guildwood, by the numbers
Guildwood is a small neighbourhood, 3,930 homes, and carries no measured band of its own. The figures come from 43 northeast Toronto communities and the 89 residential moves logged between them, with Banbury-Don Mills, Thorncliffe Park and Bayview Village named among them. Their middle job billed $675 with tax in and ran 3 hours on site, half of them between $488 and $1,247, and 78% graded small. Guildwood is 55% single-detached and 78% owner-occupied, so it sits on the heavier side of that.

How much does it cost to move in Guildwood?
$675 is the pooled middle, tax in, from 89 residential moves in the northeast Toronto communities Guildwood is grouped with, with half of them between $488 and $1,247. Nothing there is measured on this boundary. The rate is hourly, set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and it goes into the agreement before anything is picked up.
-
Is a Guildwood move usually a house move?
More often than not: 55% of the homes are single-detached, 8% are row houses and 78% are owner-occupied. That means a whole house going out rather than one room, usually on a closing date rather than a lease. A house is stairs, a basement and a walk to the driveway, and on hourly billing all of that is the bill.
-
What about the apartment side of Guildwood?
27% of the homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, and those days are quicker once they are organised. The lift window and the loading bay are booked with the building, and with both held a job usually lands at or under the 3-hour pooled middle. Without them, waiting costs the same as carrying.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Guildwood?
There is no City page covering a moving truck at the curb, just a street occupation permit written for moving containers, so 311 is the place to ask about your own street. In a neighbourhood this heavily detached the driveway usually takes the truck, and the question answers itself on most addresses.

Guildwood neighbourhood guide for moving day
One entry on this panel changes the shape of the day more than the rest: about a quarter of homes are in a building of five storeys or more, and those moves live or die on the elevator reservation and the loading-door window, both of which belong to the building rather than to the crew. For the detached majority the question is the curb instead, and it comes down to how close a truck can stand and whether the street allows it at all. Toronto publishes nothing settling that for a moving truck, its street occupation permit covering containers only, so ask 311 about your street rather than assuming either way.

Toronto publishes no page that covers a moving truck at the curb, and its Street Occupation Permit names moving containers only. Confirm with 311 whether your street needs a permit.

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.

Alexey and Nikita showed up 15 minutes early, got everything organized fast, and even helped disassemble a table I couldn't figure out myself. The whole thing took way less time than I expected. Super polite, friendly guys - took all the stress out of the move!

Amazing movers! They were quick but careful with our belongings and very courteous. Would definitely hire them again! They even gave us a little cactus as a welcome home gift, so cute :)
