Our movers wear masks, use hand sanitizer before-after every move, and practice social distancing. Please note that due to the physical nature of this work, movers will need frequent small breaks when wearing a mask.
Our estimate is based on the information you provide in the Moving List and/or during the in person estimate. Any changes to the amount of goods we move may impact your final cost.
For moves within a radius of 160 km of Huntsville (our base location), there is no fuel surcharge. For moves outside that radius, the surcharge is 99 cents per km for each km outside the radius (only calculated one way -- not there and back). The exact fuel surcharge, if applicable, will be indicated on your cost estimate.
Please notify us immediately if something appears to have been damaged by our movers. The owner of Muskoka Hawk will schedule a visit to inspect the item personally, and will arrange for professional repair, replacement or compensation at our cost for minor damages. Major damages are fully insured.
We do not provide storage at this time, however we can recommend some local options.
Although it's not our core business, we can provide experienced workers to help you pack. Please discuss your needs with us.
We do not do moves outside of Ontario.
Yes, we can dispose of garbage or scrap items, at the same hourly rate plus dump fee.
Our movers can remain on standby if there are minor delays, however wait charges will apply for delays longer than 1 hour, at the applicable hourly rate.
We are available Monday to Saturday. We do not book moves on Sundays and statutory holidays.
Our movers will notify head office if it looks like your items will not fit in the vehicle as planned. Every circumstance is different, therefore a Muskoka Hawk representative will contact you directly to discuss options.
Clothes and other items cannot be left in dresser drawers -- they must be packed in boxes, bins, bags, etc. Clothes can be kept on hangers but need to be packed in wardrobe boxes (we can provide them, at extra charge). One wardrobe box fits 10 - 12 hanger items.
Yes, our movers will bring protective floor runners and/or indoor shoes.
It is very important that your items be fully packed (no small loose items) and ready to load at the specified time, otherwise our movers reserve the right to cancel and/or reschedule your move.
