Toronto Movers - J&J Moving Company
There are hundreds of moving companies in Toronto, and on paper most of them look the same: a truck, a crew, an hourly rate. What separates them is what happens when the day does not go to plan, and that is not something a price list tells you. J&J has been running moving services in Toronto since 2010, from a shop on Dundas West, with the same crews doing the same streets week after week.
Homes, condos, apartments, and offices across Toronto and the GTA. We show up on time and ready, give you a clear quote before we start, and handle your move with care from the first box to the last. Local or long-distance, we make moving day simple.

We Show Up Ready
Our crew arrives on time with a fully equipped truck, moving blankets, and straps. We disassemble furniture and load everything with care.
You're Settled
We unload, reassemble furniture, and place everything where you want it. We don't leave until you're satisfied and settled in.
Looking for Movers Near You?
When people search for movers near me, what they actually want to know is whether the crew works their area and knows their building. We do. J&J Moving Company runs jobs across Toronto and the surrounding region every week, and the crew that arrives has usually worked your street or your building before.
That matters more than it sounds. Knowing which downtown towers need the service elevator booked well ahead, which streets a 26-foot truck can actually turn on, and where a truck can sit without blocking traffic is the difference between a move that finishes on time and one that runs into the evening.
Find your area below for the local detail, or call 647-766-9257 and we will tell you what your address involves.
Where We Work, District by District
J&J Moving Company is based at 2226 Dundas Street West, in the west end between Roncesvalles and High Park. Crews leave from there every morning, so if you are searching for movers near me anywhere in the City of Toronto, you are inside the area we cover seven days a week.
The phones are open seven days a week, 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, and quotes are given over the phone rather than after a scheduled visit. Same-day and next-day moves are available across the city when crews are open, which is most of the year outside the last three days of the month.
The west end and the core
This is home ground. High Park, Roncesvalles, Bloor West Village and the Junction are minutes from the shop, which usually means a tighter arrival window and an easier same-day booking. Moving downtown into Liberty Village or King West is a different job entirely: those are elevator-booking, loading-dock, certificate-of-insurance buildings, and we book that paperwork with property management before move day rather than discovering it on the morning.
Etobicoke
Etobicoke moves near you run from Mimico and New Toronto condo towers through to detached homes in Islington and Markland Wood. The two problems here are distance and driveways, and they pull in opposite directions: a Lakeshore condo needs a booked service elevator and a truck that fits the underground clearance, while a house move north of Bloor is usually a straight driveway load. We size the truck to the address, not the postal code. Local detail is on the Etobicoke movers page.
North York
North York covers more ground than most people expect, and it changes character every few kilometres. Willowdale and Bayview Village are dense condo corridors along the Yonge line where elevator time is the constraint. York Mills, Hogg's Hollow and the Bridle Path are large properties on ravine lots where the truck position and the walk to the door decide the day. See the North York movers page.
Scarborough
Scarborough is the longest run from our west-end base, so we plan those moves with an earlier start rather than pretending the drive does not exist. Most Scarborough work is family homes and low-rise apartments, which means stairs, appliances and a crew size that matches the volume. If you are looking for movers near you in Agincourt, Guildwood or the Bluffs, the Scarborough movers page has the detail.
East York, York and the east end
East York and the old City of York are largely semi-detached and narrow-lot housing, which is a truck-access problem more than a volume problem. Further east, Leslieville, Riverdale, the Danforth and the Beaches combine tight residential streets with permit parking, so we confirm where the truck will legally sit before the crew is dispatched.
Midtown and the central neighbourhoods
Rosedale, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park, Moore Park and Summerhill are heritage and estate properties where protection matters more than speed. Yorkville, the Annex, Davisville and Deer Park sit between the two: some are century homes, some are luxury condos, and the approach changes completely depending on which.
Beyond the city
We also take work in the surrounding region, including Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville. Toronto is where we run every day, so call and we will be straight with you about the schedule for a move outside the city.
Why the Price Changes From One Toronto Move to the Next
Two people moving out of the same two-bedroom can get very different quotes, and it usually isn't the furniture. It's the access.
A ground-floor house on a wide street with a driveway loads fast. A twelfth-floor unit where the service elevator is booked for a three-hour block and the truck has to sit on a one-way street is a different job with the same boxes in it. Six things move the number:
- How much there is. Volume, not square footage. A sparse three-bedroom can be quicker than a packed one-bedroom with a full storage locker.
- Stairs, elevators, and the length of the carry. The distance from your door to the tailgate matters more than people expect. A long walk through a lobby and a parking garage adds up on every trip.
- Where the truck can legally stop. Some buildings have a dock. Some streets need a permit. Some have neither, and the crew works from the closest legal spot.
- Distance between the two addresses, and the traffic between them at the hour you've booked.
- Packing. Whether you've done it, whether you want us to, or whether it's the kitchen and the artwork only.
- Specialty items. Safes, oversized appliances, glass tops, gym equipment, artwork. Different handling, sometimes different equipment.
Give us those six things on the phone and you get a real number instead of a range. The quote you agree to is the price you pay. We don't add charges on move day that weren't discussed when you booked.
Getting a Truck to Your Door in Toronto
Toronto makes this part harder than the lifting.
Most downtown condo buildings require a certificate of insurance naming the corporation before they release the elevator, and property management usually wants it days ahead rather than the morning of. Elevator time comes in blocks, often three or four hours, and if you run past yours the next resident's move is waiting in the corridor. Many towers also charge a move fee or hold a deposit against damage to the common areas.
Older neighbourhoods have the opposite problem. No dock, no service elevator, and a street too narrow for a five-ton truck to park on legally. In parts of Roncesvalles, Cabbagetown, and the Annex the practical answer is a smaller truck, laneway access, or a City of Toronto street occupation permit arranged before the date.
Streetcar routes add their own rule. On King, Queen, Dundas, College, and Bathurst, a truck sitting in the track lane isn't just a ticket. It stops transit, and it gets moved.
We book the elevator with your building and tell you early if an address is going to need a permit. The full detail on tower moves is on our condo and apartment moving page.
The Last Three Days of the Month
Most Ontario leases end on the last day of the month, so most of Toronto moves inside the same 72 hours. That week books out first. Service elevators in large buildings are spoken for weeks ahead, and the flexibility you would normally have on a start time disappears.
If your dates can shift, the middle of the month is quieter and far easier to book a building for. If they can't, book early. We hold same-day and next-day capacity all year, but at month end it goes first.
Every crew arrives with moving blankets, straps, dollies, and the tools for furniture that has to come apart and go back together. Floor and door-frame protection goes down on request, and on condo jobs we recommend it, because the corporation inspects the common areas after you're gone. J&J Moving Company is licensed and insured, and we send the certificate to your property manager directly when the building asks for it.
