Moovy moves households across Oakville, from century homes in Old Oakville and Bronte to newer family houses in Glen Abbey, River Oaks and North Oakville. We are a licensed moving company in Oakville with hourly pricing: $119 per hour for two movers and a truck, $169 for three and $219 for four. A three-hour minimum applies, then time is billed in 15-minute steps, so a well-prepared house costs less to move. No deposit is needed to book.
Oakville is one of the strongest west GTA markets in our job history, and most moves here fall into two very different groups: older houses where the challenge is care, and large newer homes where the challenge is volume. Our Oakville movers plan for each one differently.
Moving heritage homes in Old Oakville, Bronte and Kerr Village
Older houses south of the QEW have narrow doorways, original trim, tight turns at the top of the stairs and floors that scratch easily. Before anything is carried, the crew can lay rubber runners over hardwood and tile along the whole route and put corner guards on door frames. Runners cost nothing extra, you only need to ask. Every piece of furniture is wrapped in a heavy moving blanket, glass is removed and wrapped separately, and mattresses go into bags.
Measure the large pieces before moving day, especially if you are going from a new build into an older house. Sectionals, box springs and armoires are the items that stop halfway up a narrow stairwell. We take apart whatever can be taken apart at no extra cost, but if a one-piece item will not fit, we will tell you rather than force it and damage the walls.
Residential movers for Glen Abbey, River Oaks and North Oakville
Four-bedroom homes in Glen Abbey, River Oaks, West Oak Trails, Joshua Creek and the newer streets north of Dundas take most of a day. Our residential movers in Oakville usually send four movers to a four-bedroom house, so one person can prepare and dismantle furniture while the others carry and load the truck. A larger crew has a higher hourly rate, but on a big home it often finishes sooner. Garages, basements and sheds are where house moves run over, so pack them like real rooms instead of leaving them for the last morning.
Packing services and moving boxes in Oakville
Full packing is included in the hourly rate if you arrange it when you book. If you would rather pack yourself, boxes are not part of the rate, and you can buy them or rent moving boxes from us. Wardrobe boxes with a hanging rail cost $15 each, and most homes need three or four.
Condo and townhome moves in Uptown Core and along Lakeshore Road
Condo buildings in Uptown Core, Kerr Village, downtown Oakville and Bronte often load from an underground garage with a height limit. Ask management for the maximum vehicle clearance, the loading hours and the elevator window, then share them with us. Most buildings also ask for a Certificate of Insurance. Moovy carries $2,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance and issues the certificate in your condo corporation's name at no charge. Our condo and apartment movers pad the elevator cab and cover the corridor floors as part of the job.
How much do moving services in Oakville cost?
For a short move within Oakville, typical labour costs before the truck fee and HST are:
- 1 bedroom condo, 2 movers, 4 to 5 hours: $476 – $595
- 2 bedroom, 2 or 3 movers, 5 to 7 hours: $595 – $1,183
- 3 bedroom house, 3 movers, 8.5 to 10 hours: $1,437 – $1,690
- 4 bedroom house, 4 movers, about 10 to 12 hours: $2,190 – $2,628
On top of labour, one truck fee covers the round-trip distance from our base to your addresses and back, so it applies to a move inside Oakville as well as a longer run to Toronto or Hamilton. You see the exact figure in your estimate before anything is loaded. The 4-bedroom figure is a planning range, and larger homes get a custom estimate. There is no stair fee and no heavy-item charge.
