When asking Mount Royal movers for an estimate, organize the request as one inventory plus two access descriptions. This separates what is moving from the conditions under which it will be carried. Include the spaces that add work even if they do not add bedrooms, such as a basement workshop or garage.

List furniture, boxes and secondary spaces

Write down the main furniture and appliances, then estimate packed boxes by room. Check shelves, storage spaces and outdoor belongings. Flag pianos, pool tables, unusually heavy pieces and fragile collections with dimensions and useful photos.

Explain which items are already dismantled and which need preparation. Use the basement furniture measuring guide for a restricted stair route. If something may be sold before pickup, label it provisional and send the final inventory when decided.

Include every space contributing to the load.
Identify specialist items separately.
State which inventory details may change.

Describe the work at each address

Provide complete addresses, floors and the actual loading doors. Describe driveway or street loading, exterior steps, indoor stairs and carrying distances. Tell the team about management rules where they apply rather than treating a house and apartment as the same access.

For a business relocation, add working windows, delivery zones and a coordinator. Our commercial moving service needs a scope for the work areas as well as the furniture. Keep any permission or access uncertainty visible in the request.

Give pickup and delivery access equally.
Explain parking and carrying distance.
Add a person who can answer access questions.

Ask what the quoted price covers

List packing, materials, dismantling, reassembly and any storage separately. Confirm the proposed crew, pricing, travel terms, minimums, taxes and additional-charge conditions. A low headline figure may describe fewer services or different access assumptions.

Use the moving-cost calculator for early budgeting and ask the team to review the real inventory before booking. Keep the written scope and update it when the load, date or access changes. An estimate based on yesterday’s information needs review when today’s plan is different.
