Tell us about the move & access
Your floor, the staircase type, whether there's an elevator or exterior stairs, and the parking on the street.

Service area
Moving in the Plateau is really about access, not distance. Walk-up plexes, exterior and spiral staircases, narrow hallways and busy one-way streets all shape the day. UnBox plans the stairs, the carry and the parking before moving day, brings stair dollies and sliders, and protects your furniture and the building's shared areas on the way through.
Local know-how
Many Plateau Mont-Royal moves involve two- and three-storey plexes and walk-up apartments, often with a spiral exterior staircase at the front and a narrow back stair. Distance barely matters here; what decides the day is the width of the staircase, the turns in the hallway, and how many floors your furniture has to travel up or down.
We plan the access at both addresses before moving day: the floor, the staircase type, whether there's an elevator, and where the truck can sit on often-busy one-way streets. Wide pieces are measured ahead — disassembled or hoisted through a window when needed — and shared hallways and doorframes are protected on the way through. For a home above a street-level business, we plan the entrance and loading point in advance.

The process
Your floor, the staircase type, whether there's an elevator or exterior stairs, and the parking on the street.
We size the crew and truck to the building and map the carry, the stairs and the closest safe spot for loading.
Furniture is wrapped, shared hallways and doorways protected, and everything loaded and driven to the destination.
Items are carried up to the right floor and placed in the rooms you want, ready to use.
Pricing
A move in the Plateau is priced on what the job actually requires, not a flat guess. What you pay depends on the crew size and time, the size of the move, the floors and stairs, elevator access, parking and carry distance, any heavy or specialty items, and packing if you add it. You'll see a clear estimate before you book.
What shapes the price
Local tips
Check for parking and any temporary no-parking sign requirements with the borough before moving day — a spot near the door saves a long carry.
Measure wide furniture against spiral and exterior staircases ahead of time; oversized pieces may need to be disassembled or hoisted through a window.
Tell us your floor and whether there's an elevator or exterior stairs when you book, so the crew and gear are right for the building.
Summer weekends and street events can affect access on Mont-Royal and Saint-Denis — share your address so we can plan truck access and timing.
For a plex above a street-level business, flag it when you book so we plan the entrance and loading spot in advance.
Book early for July 1 and end-of-month dates — moving-day slots in the Plateau fill up fast.

There's no flat rate — the price reflects the crew size and time, the floors and stairs, elevator or parking access, carry distance, any heavy or specialty items, and packing if you add it. You'll see a clear estimate before you book.
Yes, and it's the busiest date of the year in the Plateau. Book as early as you can for July 1 and end-of-month dates, since crews fill up quickly.
