Nearby address change
For an apartment, condo or house move within Greater Montreal and nearby served areas.
GREATER MONTREAL
Local Moving
A Greater Montreal change of address planned around volume, access and distance.
A local move can still involve very different conditions from one address to the next. DTHV reviews the declared volume, carrying distance, stairs, elevators and known access restrictions before proposing a plan.
This service is intended for homes and businesses moving within the areas served by DTHV. Availability, crew size, truck choice and pricing are confirmed only after the project details have been reviewed.
FOR YOUR PROJECT
When this service may be useful
A few practical situations to identify when you submit your request.
Local business
For a small commercial move whose inventory and access can be described in advance.
Different access conditions
When a short distance still involves stairs, long carries or building procedures.
Only a few streets away—why describe both homes?
A short drive does not remove loading, stairs or unloading. A small inventory between ground-floor entrances is not the same project as a full home with several floors. Describe access at both ends, even within the same neighbourhood.
Explain whether everything travels together or another stop is planned. A move that also includes collecting a purchase, emptying a garage or delivering to a relative should not be described as a simple transfer.
PREPARATION
Prepare the project before moving day
Accurate information supports a realistic scope adapted to the actual access.
- 1List the main furniture, approximate box count and any unusually heavy item.
- 2Confirm both addresses, floors, elevator availability and carrying distances.
- 3Ask the building or municipality about rules that are the customer's responsibility.
- 4Keep keys, documents, medication and valuables with you.
PROCESS
A clear step-by-step approach
Project review
The two addresses, date, volume and known constraints are reviewed.
Resource planning
A proposed crew and truck are based on the information provided.
Loading sequence
The order considers access, item dimensions and the arrival plan.
Arrival
Placement follows the instructions agreed on site within the confirmed service.
Which service fits a small move?
For a single purchased item, delivery may describe the need better than a complete home move. When shared building access is the main concern, include apartment-specific details. Choosing a service defines the request; it does not guarantee a minimum price.
Before the planned day, identify who has the keys and when each address can be accessed. A short distance cannot make incompatible access times interchangeable.
