Movers in Coquitlam, BC
Coquitlam moves split between hillside houses and towers. On the hills, steep driveways and stairs set the pace; in the towers, it's the elevator booking. Trucks longer than 6.5 metres can't park on city streets overnight, so we load and leave during the day. Locally owned, with better labour prices than the big franchises, no hidden fees, and we answer our own phones.

Moving in Coquitlam: what to know
Coquitlam moves split between the hills and the towers.

About 31% of households rent, and nearly 20,000 residents had moved in the year before.
Down on the flats, City Centre around Lafarge Lake and Burquitlam along the Evergreen Line are newer towers with proper loading bays. Up on Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain, it's large hillside houses with steep driveways and long stair runs, often with the garage at street level and the living space below.

Homes and buildings: moving day in Coquitlam
Hillside houses. On Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain, Harbour Chines and parts of Eagle Ridge, driveways are genuinely steep, and many houses put the garage at street level with the living space below, so furniture comes up a flight to reach the truck. There's no extra charge for any of it; tell us the layout so we send the right number of movers.
Towers. City Centre and Burquitlam buildings are recent enough that access is usually well designed; the constraint is the booking. Book the elevator and loading bay, and give us the window and the underground clearance.
Older streets. Maillardville and Austin Heights have narrower streets and lanes than the newer parts of the city, and on-street parking can be tight.

What every Coquitlam move includes
- Moving blankets and plastic wrap for furniture, dollies and straps for heavy pieces, and floor protection.
- Beds, tables and other furniture taken apart where needed and put back together at the new place.
- A crew sized to your home: usually 2 movers for a studio or one-bedroom, 3 for two or three bedrooms, and 4 for larger homes.
- No travel fee, and no extra charge for stairs, a long carry or a building without an elevator.
- Moves 7 days a week. A few days' notice is usually enough.
- Boxes and supplies for sale: cardboard and wardrobe boxes, mattress and TV covers, tape, packing paper and bubble wrap.
- Storage if there's a gap between moving out and moving in.
- Anything you're not taking hauled away in the same booking.
As a rough guide, a one-bedroom move takes 3 to 4 hours, a two-bedroom 4 to 6 hours and a three-bedroom 6 to 9 hours. If you need to cancel a booked move, the deposit isn't refunded, but it can be moved to a new date.
Condo moves: you book the elevator and loading bay with your building. If your strata charges a fee for the move, BC's Strata Property Regulation allows a fee for using common property only when it is reasonable and set out in a bylaw or a ratified rule (section 6.9, checked 1 October 2026).
Parking the moving truck in Coquitlam
Coquitlam's street rules shape moving day. Outside industrial areas, vehicles longer than 6.5 metres can't park on a city street between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. unless the City has given special permission, so a moving truck loads during the day and leaves.
Where parking is signed as restricted, a vehicle may stop for up to five minutes while actively loading or unloading; in a marked loading zone, the limit for loading materials is 30 minutes. Streets narrower than 6 metres between the curbs are no-stopping, and nobody may park on the boulevard. Questions go to the City's Engineering and Public Works line, 604-927-3500.
Before moving day in Coquitlam
- Tell us how steep the driveway is, and whether furniture comes up from a floor below the garage.
- In a City Centre or Burquitlam tower, book the elevator and loading bay, then send us the window and the underground clearance.
- Plan for the truck to load in daylight: outside industrial areas, Coquitlam doesn't allow vehicles over 6.5 metres to park on its streets between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m.
- On a narrow street in Maillardville or Austin Heights, tell us where the truck can stop.
- Corrugated cardboard is banned from garbage at Metro Vancouver's facilities, including the United Boulevard centre in Coquitlam, so flatten the boxes for recycling after the move.
Moving to or from Coquitlam
Coquitlam sits beside Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, with Burnaby and New Westminster to the west, so most local moves are short. They're priced by the size of the home, as the table above shows, with no travel fee.
Highway 1 runs through the city toward the Fraser Valley and the Interior, and we move households within BC and to Alberta. Long-distance moves within BC currently run $2,000 to $9,000, and moves to Alberta $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the home and the distance.

Questions
Straight answers
How much do movers cost in Coquitlam?
A Westwood Plateau house and a City Centre condo are both priced by the size of the home, not the hill. A studio or one-bedroom move is a flat $599, and a 20% deposit ($120) books the date. Two-bedroom homes run $800 to $1,400 and three-bedroom homes $1,200 to $2,000; hourly moves are $120 to $180 an hour for 2 movers and a truck. There is no travel fee.
Do you charge extra for steep driveways on Westwood Plateau or Burke Mountain?
No. Steep driveways, long stairs and living space below the garage never change the price. Tell us the layout and we plan the crew for it.
Can a moving truck park overnight on a Coquitlam street?
Not outside industrial areas. Coquitlam doesn't allow vehicles longer than 6.5 metres to park on its streets between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. without the City's special permission, so the truck loads during the day.
Who books the elevator in a City Centre or Burquitlam tower?
You do. Book the elevator and loading bay with your building, then send us the window and the underground clearance.
Do you move from Coquitlam to the Interior or Alberta?
Yes. Long-distance moves within BC currently run $2,000 to $9,000, and moves to Alberta $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the home and the distance. We don't move households beyond Alberta.
