WHAT DOES A MOVE COST?
What Does a Move Cost in Maple Ridge & the Lower Mainland?
One of the first questions anyone asks before booking a mover is simple: how much is this going to cost? Woodman's Relocations bills by the hour, plus a small fuel surcharge, so the price you pay reflects the actual size and complexity of your move rather than a flat guess. Below are the average price ranges our customers pay for a local move within a 25–75 km radius of Maple Ridge, so you can budget with confidence before you even request a quote.

WHAT AFFECTS THE COST
What Affects the Cost of Your Move
- Distance - A move across Maple Ridge costs less than one spanning the full Lower Mainland, since travel time factors into the hourly rate
- Amount of belongings - A studio move takes less time than a fully furnished three-bedroom home
- Access - Stairs, elevators, long carries from the truck to the door, and tight parking can add time to a move
- Crew and truck size - Larger homes may need a bigger crew or a second truck, which affects the hourly rate
- Packing services - Adding professional packing increases the total cost but saves time and reduces the risk of damage
- Timing - Weekends, month-end, and summer months tend to be busier, which can affect availability and pricing

MOVING COST FAQS
How Our Pricing Works
For a local move within a 25–75 km radius, a one-bedroom move typically costs $550–$1,200, a two-bedroom move $750–$2,200, and a three-bedroom move $900–$2,500. These estimates don't include packing services.
Is travel time included in the hourly rate?
Yes. Travel time and fuel are built into the hourly rate, so there are no separate mileage or fuel charges added on top.
Does the price include packing?
No. The estimates above are for moving labour only. Packing is available as an add-on service, billed at an hourly rate plus the cost of materials such as boxes, tape, and packing paper.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. You're billed an hourly rate plus a small fuel surcharge, and we provide a written estimate before your move so you know what to expect.
What makes a move cost more or less?
The biggest factors are the amount of belongings being moved, the distance between locations, and access at both properties - stairs, elevators, and long carries can all add time to a move.
How can I get an accurate quote for my move?
