For over 15 years, High Stream Moving has provided long-distance moving services to customers. We are a team of experienced movers trained in planning, packing, loading, and transporting items safely over great distances. Your move may take place as a move within Ontario, as a move across the country, or as a move to the USA.
You can expect to have a detailed schedule and plan for your residential or commercial relocation to be outlined and reviewed with you. All of our crews are fully licensed and insured and will provide you a free written estimate before moving day (and an estimate based on your actual items being moved). Our team will take the utmost care in handling all of your belongings.
Also, we are able to provide you with packing and unpacking assistance, loading and unloading, secure shipping, storage as required, and guaranteed pricing without hidden charges. The foundation for a successful move starts well before moving day. Therefore, our process ensures accuracy when it comes to planning your move, communicating with you clearly through the process of your move, and providing you with a written estimate based on all of the following factors: inventory of items being moved, distance to be moved, size of the shipment, access at origin and destination, packing needs, and any special services required. At High Stream Moving, quality and customer satisfaction, safety, and stress-free moves are key components of our reputation as a reliable moving company in Etobicoke.
High Stream Moving is much more in control of the entire process than the vast majority of carriers who use regional partners to assist with shipment transfers and deliveries. The same team that loads your items in Etobicoke into a truck is responsible for delivering them to your new home, which reduces risk from transferring items between crews or third-party carriers.
Our goal is to provide a smooth transition with no rushed planning, no last-minute confusion, and no hidden fees. From the first free quote to final delivery, we focus on making your long-distance move organized, safe, and stress-free.
High Stream Moving can help you, no matter if you are moving as a family, couple, student, senior, or individual when you are relocating from Etobicoke, Ontario, to another location within Ontario, to a different province, or to various points in the US. Our local movers in Etobicoke, as well as our long-distance moving staff, can help complete your move, whether it is a condo, apartment, townhouse, or a whole house, in Etobicoke.
Fragile items, artwork, electronics, dishes, antiques, mirrors, and valuable items require special professional packing methods. These special items generally require extra care, the appropriate amount of padding, and the correct packing materials to allow them to be transported safely through the long-distance move. High Stream Moving has developed standards and best practices for packing your belongings; we will use quality packing materials to make sure that your items are protected during transit.
For some items, specialized moving services will be required. Our Etobicoke moving staff are trained and have specialized tools and equipment that will assist you with moving large, heavy, fragile, or items of great value.
High Stream Moving can assist with arranging short-term or long-term storage based upon your move. If your sensitive items include items such as wooden furniture, documents, electronics, artwork, or antiques, you may require climate-controlled storage so that your items will not be affected by humidity or temperature changes.
High Stream Moving provides businesses moving out of Etobicoke with the ability to relocate to other cities, provinces, or outside of Canada, while limiting the amount of time a company loses due to downtime. Our team can assist you with moving all of your office furniture, equipment, workstations, files, electronics, storage, and any other items associated with a commercial move.
When you're moving long distances (from Etobicoke to another city, province, or border), knowing how much it will cost is essential. The quote you receive will allow you to properly budget, know what is included in the move, and avoid surprises on the day of the move.
Costs for long-distance moves are generally determined by the total size of your shipment, weight or volume of shipment, distance, travel logistics, packing requirements, any storage requirements you may have, and the accessibility of where the move originates or ends. A reputable moving company should provide you with a detailed written estimate before the actual move takes place.
At High Stream Moving, our pricing is transparent, and we will go over what could impact your final bill. For example, using professional packing, storing items, specialized handling of certain items (stairs, elevators, and long carries), and the need for additional equipment will all be discussed prior to moving day.
To give you the most accurate cost possible, we recommend a virtual or physical assessment to ascertain the size of your shipment, accessibility of your building, your packing needs, and any special items that may require special handling before finalizing your quote.
Distance is one of the most significant factors when calculating the cost of your long-distance move; however, there are many other factors that you must consider as well. The size of your home; the weight or volume of your shipment; whether or not you use packing services; if you need storage; the date of your move; the availability of building access; and any stairs, elevators, or long carries involved, as well as any special items you may have (piano, antique, artwork, office equipment, or oversized furniture).

Before moving, it is very important to know what level of protection is available for you and your belongings since the carrier liability may be limited. It is always a good idea to discuss valuation with your moving company prior to your scheduled moving date.
You will typically receive the released value of your items at no extra charge if you choose this level of protection, which is based on the weight of your items and does not necessarily indicate their true value. In contrast to this, Full Value Protection includes a higher level of coverage and protects against the loss or damage of your belongings while they are being moved by providing repair to them, replacing them, or giving the current fair market value of your item.
If you are planning on moving high-value items, if you are completing an intraprovincial move, if you are moving fragile items, if you are moving antiques or artwork or electronic items, or if you are moving specialty items, full value protection is always the recommended course of action. You can discuss your coverage options with your move coordinator prior to signing your contract.
When working with a reputable moving company, you should expect them to be licensed and insured and provide you with a detailed description of how your belongings are to be protected during the moving process. If you need a Certificate of Insurance for your Etobicoke condo, apartment, or office building, High Stream Moving will provide this document to you upon request.
