What to Expect on Moving Day with Skyline Moving

Before the Movers Arrive

Preparation is key to a smooth moving day. Here’s what you should do before your Skyline Moving crew arrives:

Finish All Packing (Unless You’ve Booked Packing Services)

If you’ve hired us for packing services, we’ll take care of everything. But if you’re packing your belongings yourself, make sure everything is boxed, labeled, and ready to go before the movers arrive. This includes:

  • Labeling boxes with room names and fragile items
  • Removing items from drawers and shelves
  • Sealing boxes securely
  • Disposing of hazardous materials that cannot be moved

Clear Pathways

Ensure that hallways, staircases, and doorways are clear. This makes it easier for our movers to carry heavy furniture and prevents accidents.

Reserve Parking (If Needed)

If you live in a high-rise, condo, or downtown area in Calgary, it’s a good idea to reserve parking or elevator access in advance. This avoids delays and ensures we can start your move on time.

When Our Calgary Movers Arrive

Once our team arrives, they’ll conduct a quick walk-through of your home or office. This helps them assess the load, identify any fragile items, and confirm your instructions.

You can expect the following from Skyline Moving:

Friendly, Uniformed Team

Our movers are professionally trained, courteous, and in uniform. We treat your home and belongings with the respect they deserve.

Professional Equipment

We use the latest moving tools and techniques, including:

  • Furniture dollies and straps
  • Padded moving blankets
  • Protective floor runners
  • Shrink wrap and bubble wrap
  • Custom boxes for TVs, mirrors, and artwork

All equipment is clean and maintained to ensure your items are handled safely.

Efficient Loading Process

We load your belongings with a strategic system, ensuring heavier items are secured first, followed by fragile and lighter boxes. Our movers are trained to maximize truck space while protecting your items from shifting during transit.

During the Move

While your belongings are in transit, you can rest assured knowing that Skyline Moving is fully insured. We offer both liability and cargo insurance for your peace of mind.

Our drivers are familiar with all Calgary neighborhoods and use GPS technology to avoid traffic delays. Whether you're moving within the Beltline, Crescent Heights, or suburban areas like Mahogany or Evanston, we’ll get your belongings there safely and on time.

Upon Arrival at Your New Home

Once we reach your new location, our team gets straight to work unloading. We don’t just drop your boxes at the door—we place them exactly where you want them.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Placement of furniture in your desired rooms
  • Assembly of any disassembled items

  • Removal of moving blankets and wrapping materials

Our job isn’t done until you’re settled and satisfied.
