A quick overview based on thousands of moves in 2025. Most Vancouver moves land between ~$500 and $3,000, depending on the size of your home and how far you're going. High-rise and condo moves take a little more coordination — and our crews handle the elevator bookings, insurance certificates, and parking permits that come with them, so you don't have to.
| Home Size | Avg. Duration | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 3–5 hours | From ~$500 |
| 1-bed apartment | 4–6 hours | ~$600–$900 |
| 2-bedroom | 5–7 hours | ~$900–$1,400 |
| 3-bedroom | 7–9 hours | ~$1,100–$2,000 |
| 4-bedroom | 9–12 hours | ~$1,800–$3,000 |
| Long-distance (avg) | Varies by route | ~$3,000+ |

Most moves completed by our Vancouver moving company stay local. At Two Small Men with Big Hearts, we consider anything under 50 km a local Vancouver move.
Get Your Free QuoteWhen you first call us, we gather as much information as we can about your upcoming move. Our goal is to identify the number of items that need to be moved, the distance they are going, and the date they need to arrive. This information tells us the number of movers needed and the truck size. On move day, our movers arrive with the truck and materials needed to complete the job. These items include:
When the moving starts, all the furniture gets wrapped before it leaves the house. The heavy items get loaded first, and are then placed and strapped against the walls. At your destination, we unload and set things where you point and put the beds and tables back together.
We go the distance for you — let us get you where you're going.
Whether you are moving to a new city or a new province Two Small Men with Big Hearts makes the whole move easy, cost-effective, and stress-free.

You might just need us to get you from Point A to Point B — but we can also do a few things that make moving day easier. Just ask your Move Coordinator about any of these:
Furniture Assembly & Disassembly
Your first night shouldn’t be spent wrestling with an Allen key. Our crew takes apart and reassembles most furniture, so you can just unwind once the truck’s unloaded.
Storage (BigSteelBox)
Need storage between homes? We partner with BigSteelBox and handle the loading and unloading — secure, weatherproof containers you pack just once, even if there’s a gap in your move.
Junk Removal
After the move, let us load up what you don’t want — old furniture, packing debris, the chair that never sold online — and haul it to the local junkyard for you.
Item Donation
Gently used items to give away but no time to drop them off? We’ll coordinate the donation with our local charity partners on moving day.

Dave and Roger did a great job carrying a big heavy couch up three flights of stairs since it did not fit in the elevator. Thank you both very much.

I wasn't moving much or going very far, but it was a really stressful time, and 2SMWBH were great! I wish I remembered their names so I could give them both a shout out, but they were friendly, fast and efficient, and even offered some good advice. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and/or recommend to anyone else. They were even able to arrange a move on the 14th of the month, even though I had called them less than a week before. Just a really good experience, I might even call it comforting during a tough time. Moving is stressful! Having good people with good attitudes makes everything easier. Thanks 2SMWBH!
