Not every move needs a big truck and a full crew. Maybe you are moving out of a shared apartment with a bed, a desk and a few boxes. Maybe you bought a sofa on Marketplace in Laval and need it brought to your place in Verdun. Maybe you are moving a single room into a partner’s home, or sending a dresser to your child’s new apartment. Many movers are not interested in jobs like these, or they charge a high minimum that makes a small move expensive.

Déménagement NST Moving & Storage specialises in small moves across Greater Montreal. We send a crew and truck sized to the job, wrap and protect everything just as we would for a full house, and give you a guaranteed flat fee, so you know exactly what you will pay.

Quick answer: NST handles small moves in Montreal, from a few items or single pieces of furniture to studios and small apartments, with a right-sized crew and a guaranteed flat fee. Call (514) 458-7786.

Small moves we handle

Every NST small move includes – NST Montreal movers

Why choose a professional for a small move?

No heavy lifting. Sofas, mattresses and dressers are heavy and awkward, especially on Montreal staircases.

Protection. Furniture is wrapped in blankets and floors are protected, avoiding scratches and dents.

Right equipment. Dollies, straps and a proper truck instead of a borrowed car.

Speed. A trained crew moves a small load quickly and safely.

A firm price. A flat fee means no surprises.

How a small move works

Tell us what you are moving with a short list or photos, and both addresses.
Get your flat fee. We quote a guaranteed price based on items, access and distance.
Pick your time. Small moves are often easier to schedule, including evenings and weekends.
Moving day. The crew wraps, loads, drives and places items where you want them.

Small move costs

Factor	Why it matters
Number of items	A few items or a full studio.
Size and weight	Sofas, mattresses and dressers need two or more movers.

Timing	Weekends and month-ends are in higher demand.

Small moves around July 1

Around July 1, small moves are in high demand as students and renters move at the same time. If your move falls in late June or early July, book early. If your dates are flexible, moving a few days before or after the peak is often easier.

Combining small moves with storage

If you are travelling, studying abroad or between apartments, a small move into storage is a simple solution. We pick up your items, store them securely and deliver them when you are ready.

Tips for a smooth small move

Make a list of the items you are moving.
Measure large furniture and doorways at the new address.
Pack boxes completely before the crew arrives.
Remove items from drawers and shelves.
Reserve parking if your borough requires it.
Keep valuables and documents with you.

Small moves for seniors and downsizing

Seniors moving into a residence, a smaller apartment or a family member’s home often take only a few favourite pieces: a bed, a reading chair, a dresser, a television and some boxes of keepsakes. These small moves deserve patience and care. Our crew places furniture where it is most comfortable and safe, sets up the bed and helps make the new space feel familiar. See our senior moving service for more support.

What counts as a small move?

A small move is any move where the load is a fraction of a typical home. In practice, that includes moving a single piece of furniture, a handful of items, one room, a studio or 2½ apartment, a dorm room or a shared apartment bedroom. It also includes moves where most of your belongings are going somewhere else, for example when you are moving into a furnished apartment and only need to bring a bed, a desk and some boxes.

Small moves are often the hardest to organise. Large moving companies may not want them, rental trucks are expensive for a few items, and asking friends to carry a sofa up three floors is a big favour. Our small move service fills that gap with a crew and truck sized to the job.

Typical small moves in Montreal

The single item. A sofa from a store in Laval, a dresser from a family member in the West Island, a fridge for a new apartment in Rosemont.

The shared apartment. Moving out of a room in a shared apartment in Côte-des-Neiges or the Plateau, with a bed, a desk, a dresser and some boxes.

The first apartment. Young adults leaving the family home with a bedroom set and a few boxes of kitchen basics.

The partner move. Moving one person’s belongings into a partner’s home, usually furniture from one bedroom and a home office.

The storage run. Taking a few pieces into storage or bringing them back.

The studio. A full studio or 2½ apartment, which often fits in one small truck load. See studio apartment moving.

Planning a small move

Even small moves go better with a plan. Make a list of every item, including boxes, and note any large pieces with their approximate dimensions. Check stairs, elevators and doorways at both addresses, especially in walk-ups with spiral staircases. Find out whether your building requires an elevator reservation or has set moving hours. If you are moving on a busy street, check whether your borough requires a parking permit for a moving truck. Then send the list and addresses to your coordinator, who will give you a flat-fee price.

Saving money on a small move

Be flexible with timing. Weekday and mid-month moves are usually easier to schedule than Saturdays at the end of the month.
Have everything ready. Pack boxes completely, empty drawers and disassemble simple furniture if you can, so the crew can load quickly.
Combine trips. If you have items in two locations, such as a store pickup and your old apartment, ask us to combine them in one trip.
Declutter first. Moving fewer items costs less. Sell or donate pieces you will not use in your new home.
Avoid the July 1 peak. If your dates are flexible, moving a few days before or after July 1 is much easier.

Small moves with stairs and tight spaces

Montreal’s walk-ups make even small moves challenging. A queen mattress, a sofa or a dresser can be difficult to carry around a spiral staircase. Our crews know how to handle these routes: they wrap furniture, protect railings and walls, remove legs or doors where needed and carry items safely. If a piece simply will not fit, we can advise on hoisting or disassembly.

Small moves for businesses

Small businesses also need small moves: a desk and filing cabinet to a new co-working space, display furniture to a pop-up shop, equipment to a new studio or a few pieces of furniture between two office locations. We handle these jobs with the same care and flat-fee pricing, often outside business hours. See office moving for larger projects.

What to expect on moving day

The crew arrives with a truck, blankets, straps and dollies. They review the items with you, wrap furniture, protect the route and load everything. At the new address, they carry items in, place furniture where you want it and reassemble beds and simple pieces. Small moves are usually completed quickly, and you know the price before the crew arrives.
