Changing homes
For a move from an apartment to a house, between condos, or at the end of a lease.
HOMES
Residential Moving
From a studio to a family home, with planning based on volume, access and date.
A residential move may involve a studio, condo, house, or a change of address between municipalities. Volume, access, carrying distance and furniture that may need to come apart all affect the preparation.
DTHV gathers those details before the planned date so the project can be organized appropriately. Customers remain responsible for confirming building rules, elevator bookings and any parking authorization that may be required.
