Moving in Hampstead

Hampstead moves, handled from quote to delivery by one team

CNS Logistics is headquartered in Saint-Laurent, about 15 minutes from Hampstead via Highway 15 and Queen Mary Road. We've completed over 200 Hampstead moves since 2017 — large detached homes on Queen Mary Road, Van Horne Avenue and the streets bordering Côte-Saint-Luc Road, many with grand pianos, fine art and heirloom furniture.

Every Hampstead job runs on our own 12-truck GPS-tracked fleet with bilingual CNS crews — never subcontractors. The same team that estimates your move handles the load and delivery, which matters when moving multi-room inventories, fine art, and large dining sets that don't break down. Hampstead driveways usually offer generous truck access, so loading time goes into protecting pieces rather than staging them curbside.

Estimates are written and itemized. Packing, art crating and long-distance transport are quoted separately so the residential rate stays clear. A piano costs nothing extra with no stairs at either address, and bills $75 a flight for an upright or $150 for a grand once there are.

What to expect

What makes Hampstead moves different

Four factors we plan for on every Hampstead job.

Large single-family home logistics

Hampstead is almost entirely single-family detached homes, most on wide lots. Move inventories run larger than the typical Montreal apartment or condo: full basements, multi-car garages, finished attics and formal dining rooms. We size crews for the volume and plan the schedule around it rather than squeezing it into a short window, which matters when the home hasn't changed hands in 20 or 30 years.

Fine furniture, art and piano handling frequency

Hampstead homes carry a high ratio of grand pianos, fine art, heirloom dining sets and designer furniture. We bring dedicated piano equipment (piano boards, proper straps, and grand-piano dollies) on every scheduled Hampstead piano job, and use art-grade crating and blanket protection for large canvases, mirrors and antique pieces. None of this specialty handling carries an item fee: inside a move it rides the same hourly clock as the rest of the load and the equipment comes with the crew. A piano's stairs are the one exception: $75 a flight for an upright or $150 for a grand, counted at both addresses, while your household goods' stairs are priced in time.

School calendar coordination

Many Hampstead families time moves around the academic calendars of nearby schools — Akiva, Herzliah, Hebrew Academy, Solomon Schechter and surrounding institutions. We book school-calendar-sensitive moves four to six weeks ahead, offer end-of-June and late-August slots at standard weekday rates, and coordinate around specific school breaks when families need the transition window to land inside the kids' holidays.

Hampstead municipal services

Hampstead operates its own municipal services — its own police department and public works — separate from SPVM and the City of Montreal. Moving-day coordination differs slightly: curb-access questions go through Hampstead public works rather than a Montreal borough office, and the local by-laws governing truck parking and signage are enforced by Hampstead's own team. We handle the coordination directly when a reserved loading zone is the safer play.

Hampstead pricing

Hampstead moving costs

Typical all-in ranges for a local Hampstead move on a regular weekday. For a full breakdown of Montreal moving rates see our ultimate Montreal moving guide.

Move sizeTypical rangeScenario
Studio / 1-bedroom apartmentFrom $580 + taxSolo residents, downsizing to nearby condos
2-bedroom apartment~$1,000Couples, smaller Hampstead residences
3-bedroom apartment$1,400 – $1,800Families, mid-size Hampstead homes
4-bedroom house$2,500 – $3,500Large Hampstead single-family residences

Rates reflect crew labour and one GPS-tracked truck. Packing services and long-distance transport quoted separately. Heavy and specialty items carry no item fee: with no stairs at either address they cost nothing extra, and once there are stairs their access bills $75 a flight for an upright piano or $150 for a grand or another heavy item, counted at both addresses; an address with an elevator counts no flights. Your household goods' stairs add labour time instead, for each floor without an elevator.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers we give most often on Hampstead estimates.

Do you handle large single-family home moves in Hampstead?+
Yes. Large single-family home moves are our most common Hampstead job. Inventories run larger than the typical apartment or condo move: full basements, multi-car garages, finished attics and formal dining rooms. We size crews for the volume and plan the schedule around it rather than squeezing it into a short window. For homes that haven't changed hands in 20 or 30 years we recommend an in-person walkthrough before quoting so the written estimate reflects the actual volume.
Can you coordinate moves around school calendars like Akiva, Herzliah and Solomon Schechter?+
Yes. Many Hampstead families time moves around the academic calendars of Akiva, Herzliah, Hebrew Academy, Solomon Schechter and surrounding schools. We book school-calendar-sensitive Hampstead moves four to six weeks ahead, offer end-of-June and late-August slots at standard weekday rates, and coordinate around specific holidays when the transition window needs to land inside the kids' school breaks. Tell us the target school and calendar at the quote stage and we'll flag which dates still have availability.
Do you move fine art and grand pianos regularly in Hampstead?+
Yes. Hampstead homes carry a high ratio of grand pianos, fine art, heirloom dining sets and designer furniture. We bring dedicated piano equipment — piano boards, proper straps, grand-piano dollies — on every scheduled Hampstead piano job, and use art-grade crating and blanket protection for large canvases, mirrors and antique pieces. None of this specialty handling carries an item fee — inside a move it rides the same hourly clock as the rest of the load. A piano's stairs are the one exception: $75 a flight for an upright or $150 for a grand, counted at both addresses. Only art-grade crating materials are billed, at cost.
How do Hampstead's municipal rules differ from Montreal's?+
Hampstead is its own independent municipality inside the island of Montreal, with its own police department and public works — separate from SPVM and the City of Montreal. For moving day that means curb-access questions go through Hampstead public works rather than a Montreal borough office, and the local by-laws governing truck parking and signage are enforced by Hampstead's own team. We handle the coordination directly and request a reserved loading zone through Hampstead when the street access calls for it.
What's the typical cost range for a Hampstead home move?+
A typical 4-bedroom Hampstead home is quoted individually rather than from a published range. The crew is matched to the home, with one GPS-tracked truck, billed at the published hourly rate for the crew with a 3-hour labour minimum and transport on top. Grand pianos, significant art inventories and multiple floors of finished space are quoted as separate specialty line items. Packing services and long-distance transport are quoted separately, so the residential rate stays clear on your written estimate.
