West Island Movers — Beaconsfield to Dorval, Done Right
CNS Logistics operates daily across Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Kirkland, Pierrefonds, and Dorval. We move large-format West Island homes with trained, full-time crews — not day labour. NIR-licensed, fully insured, and rated 4.6 stars on Google based on 228 verified reviews. From 3,000+ sq ft estates in Beaconsfield to split-levels in Pointe-Claire, we bring the crew size, truck capacity, and local knowledge that West Island moves demand.
WEST ISLAND SPECIALISTS
Large Homes, Long Driveways, Local Knowledge
Moving in the West Island is a fundamentally different challenge than moving on the Island of Montreal. The homes are larger — typically 1,800 to 4,000+ sq ft — with long driveways, multi-level floor plans, integrated garages, and landscaped yards that require careful navigation. A 26-foot truck in a cul-de-sac or a 120-foot driveway demands a different approach than a downtown condo loading dock.
CNS Logistics operates daily across Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Kirkland, Pierrefonds, and Dorval. Over 7 years, we've developed route-specific procedures for every municipality in the West Island — from driveway-first load sequencing for large homes to bridge-access logistics for Île-Bizard. Every crew is trained, full-time staff following documented procedures.
Whether you're moving into a new Kirkland subdivision, downsizing from a Beaconsfield estate, or relocating a family from DDO to the South Shore, CNS Logistics brings the crew size, truck capacity, and local knowledge that West Island moves demand.

TOWN BY TOWN
Every West Island Municipality — Covered Daily
Each town in the West Island has its own access profile, street patterns, and peak moving dynamics. Here's what makes each unique.
Beaconsfield
Estate-level volume. Homes routinely exceed 3,000 sq ft with finished basements, double garages, and Baie-D'Urfé border properties on large lots. Cul-de-sac truck positioning and permit coordination are standard on our Beaconsfield moves.
Pointe-Claire
Mix of 1960s split-levels, Village townhouses, and newer lakeshore properties. Split-entry load sequencing and careful navigation of heritage-district streets are part of every Pointe-Claire move.
Dollard-des-Ormeaux
Grid-layout streets with 1,600–2,800 sq ft homes. DDO moves often involve three-generation households with complex item sorting — from basement workshops to attic storage. Our crews handle the volume efficiently.
Kirkland
Newer subdivisions with wide streets and modern floorplans. Kirkland homes often include basement gyms, home offices, and workshop equipment that require specialized handling and pre-move assessment.
Pierrefonds & Île-Bizard
Bridge access verification for Île-Bizard, waterfront properties along the Rivière-des-Prairies, and the mix of older Pierrefonds bungalows and newer townhouses. Roxboro is standard coverage.
Dorval
Eastern edge of the West Island, connecting to NDG, LaSalle, and Verdun for transit moves. Airport-adjacent corporate relocations and short-notice moves are common in Dorval.
WHAT WE HANDLE
West Island Moving Challenges — Solved
Every West Island property presents a specific combination of variables. We plan for all of them before your moving day starts.
Long Driveways
West Island driveways can exceed 120 feet. Our crews plan truck positioning, dollying distances, and loading sequences before arrival — not on moving day.
Large-Format Homes
Homes averaging 2,400 sq ft with finished basements, double garages, and multi-level floor plans require more crew hours and careful room-by-room inventory.
Piano Moving
Grand and upright pianos in West Island homes — including multi-level entries and exterior step approaches. Rigging, skid boards, and window extraction assessed in advance.
Winter Conditions
Snow-covered driveways, ice, and sub-zero temperatures. We bring salt, rubber mats, and adjusted timelines. Winter moves also offer 20–30% cost savings versus peak summer rates.
July 1st
Quebec's traditional moving day hits the West Island hard. Book 8–12 weeks ahead for June 25–July 5. July 1st and the surrounding days carry a 40–60% premium across all Montréal moving companies.
Pool & Shed Equipment
West Island properties often include pool equipment, garden sheds, BBQs, and outdoor furniture that require disassembly, padding, and careful transport.
Senior Downsizing
Transitioning from a large West Island home to a smaller condo or care facility. We coordinate with families, realtors, and facilities to manage the move with care and dignity.
Storage Bridging
When closing dates don't align, we offer short-term and long-term storage bridging. Your belongings stay in our secured, climate-controlled facility until your new home is ready.
