Senior Moving and Senior Move Management
Grand River Moving offers properly trained consultants to view and go over the moving needs of seniors. Our Specialists will assist in moving the senior from point A to point B, and/or packing/storage services if required. Senior move management may require our consultant(s) to make several trips to the seniors residence in order to help the senior(s) with decision-making, and to resolve any problems that may arise with relocating their belongings to another house, apartment, or retirement residence.
Most senior moves include having us assist with downsizing which may include having us lend a hand with the sale or auction of items for the senior. It may deal with working with a family member and/or the senior(s) when dealing with hoarding, aphrasia, and/or dementia in which our consultants are trained on how to properly address the circumstances, and with extra care.
A senior move manager will have knowledge not only in moving and packing, but dealing with any complications that may come along with senior moving.

We Make Moving Easy
Moving Coverage
Insurance for your goods is referred to as cargo (or transit) protection. All licensed long distance moving companies carry different forms of insurance coverage, one of them being cargo insurance. A lot of local moving companies do not. What movers offer you is an option to be compensated for any loss or damage to your goods
Office Moving
Grand River Moving has moving consultants who specialize in office moving, with the expertise to properly have your office relocated. We have coordinated and moved both small and large moves. You should not just choose any local mover for moving an office especially where more than one truck load is required.

Save Money on Moving
Since there is nothing you can do to change the mileage between your old home and new home, unless you move closer, the charge that will most impact your long-distance move will be the weight of your shipment.

Here is what some of our clients
are saying about Grand River Moving
Grand River Movers helped me move last month. This is my second time using this company and both times I have had positive experiences. Lum and David were my movers this time and they were both friendly and helpful and good to work with and got the job done. Jesse was helpful in getting everything set up beforehand as well. Thanks for another successful move! I would use Grand River Movers again.

Grand River Moving took care of my move today. Lum and David moved me from a third floor apartment to a third floor apartment with no elevators and didn’t even make a fuss. The boys worked hard and got everything to my new place in one piece. Superb movers who offered superb customer service. Thanks again boys!!!

We used Grand River moving for our recent move the end of September 2020. We can’t say enough good things about our experience. Dan, Alex, and OB were our crew and our day couldn’t have gone any smoother. We downsized from a 4 bedroom home to a small bedroom and they were able to pack our home into their truck and transport it to our new home. …More

I had Grand River move us this past summer (2020). We ended up doing it on the hottest day of the year. The guys were awesome. They were very professional, safe, and didn’t damage a thing. Even tho it was a miserable day doing heavy work …More

Amazing company, professional movers. Very accommodating of our move needs. The movers worked hard and the prices were good. I’m sure you could find cheaper on Kijiji, but if you value your possessions I recommend using this company instead
