Edmonds movers who know the Southgate construction zones, the 1960s rental stock near the station, and the Kingsway permit rules. One flat rate, confirmed up front.
Every Edmonds quote is a flat rate scoped to your move: what you own, the access at both ends, and the distance between them. No hourly meter ticking while you wait on a loading zone.
Scoped to your move
No one-size price list. Your rate reflects your inventory, your stairs, your parking, and your kilometres.
Confirmed by a human
Someone who has carried a couch up a Vancouver walk-up reviews every quote before it goes out. The price we confirm is the price you pay.
If plans change
New couch? Extra stop? We review the price with you before move day. Nothing changes without a conversation.
How Nash moves you
Crates first. Furniture second.
Every Edmonds move packs the same way: our uniform tubs fill the truck floor to ceiling, wall to wall, then the furniture goes in. No loose boxes stacked on your couch.
Edmonds is one of Burnaby's four town centres, sitting right on the New Westminster border. It is a neighbourhood of three distinct nodes: the Town Centre at Kingsway and Edmonds Street, the Station area around the SkyTrain, and the Southgate City redevelopment. Byrne Creek cuts a ravine down the south slope with over three kilometres of trail, and it is often called the most diverse neighbourhood in Metro Vancouver. Moves here often happen on the same block: a crew carrying furniture out of a 1970s walk-up while another crew loads a brand-new tower in Southgate City. We scope the exact address, because the flat rate is built from the difference between a tower protocol and a stair carry.
Southgate City and tower logistics
Southgate City is the defining shift: Ledingham McAllister's sixty-acre master plan a few blocks east of Edmonds Station, building out six named neighbourhoods toward a dozen towers around a central park. The Azure towers are lived-in, Icon is at move-in, and the next phases keep 18th Street, Park Crescent, and 11th Avenue in construction mode for years. Tower move-ins here arrive in waves, and every one runs the protocol: booked elevator, certificate of insurance naming the strata, a shared loading dock metered out in slots.
We handle our end completely, the certificate, the dock-height check, the staged-and-continuous elevator discipline that fits a two bedroom into a two hour window, and we confirm the exact loading entrance in advance, because construction zones move the obvious route around.
The walk-ups and the tenant hook
The other Edmonds is older: 1960s-to-80s low-rise rental blocks in the streets around the station and Kingsway, one of Burnaby's long-standing apartment districts. Walk-up moves are stair moves, so we scope the flights and the hallway turns honestly at quote time.
Some of those buildings are giving way to the towers replacing them, and Burnaby's tenant-protection rules mean displaced renters get a replacement home and moving support, often including a paid, insured moving company. If that is your situation, tell us; we know the process and the paperwork, and the move itself costs you nothing extra in surprises either way.
Kingsway, the station, and timing
Kingsway at Edmonds Street is the town centre crossroads and carries heavy traffic all day, with Highgate Village's shops adding retail flow. Edmonds Station's bus loop and the SkyTrain maintenance yard keep 18th Avenue busy with transit movements, so staging near the station is planned, not improvised. Burnaby bans oversize loads during weekday peaks, which tells you when the corridors are worst; we time the drive around those windows and put the slow hours to work as loading time.
Multi-day jobs get one more Burnaby rule folded in: trucks over 3,600 kilograms cannot park overnight on any city street, so staging lives in driveways, docks, or permits, decided at booking.
The quieter streets
Away from the corridors, Edmonds is family streets sloping toward the Byrne Creek ravine: postwar houses with suites, townhome rows, schools like Byrne Creek Community School and Taylor Park Elementary setting the school-run rhythm, and the Edmonds Community Centre pool anchoring weekends. House moves here are classic driveway-staged jobs where the work is honest inventory and interior turns.
Whatever side of Edmonds you are on, tower or walk-up or family street, we scope the real address and the real access. The price we confirm before you book is the price you pay. Call or text Nash Moving for your flat-rate quote.

Edmonds questions
Asked before booking in Edmonds.
My building is in Southgate City. What are the move-in rules?
Southgate towers run strict protocols. You must book the service elevator and provide a certificate of insurance naming the strata. The booking must come from you, and in the summer peak the good windows go weeks ahead, so it is the first question we ask. We tell you exactly what to book, issue the insurance certificate ourselves, and confirm the dock height and route before move day. The loading docks in the newer complexes are often shared between towers and metered out in booked slots, so we stage where the construction traffic isn't.
Is Edmonds good for displaced-tenant moves?
Yes, and we know the process. Burnaby's tenant-protection rules require displaced renters a replacement unit at the same rent and often include moving support. The city pays set amounts or covers an insured moving company, so displaced-tenant moves in Edmonds are frequently city-funded. We work with these timelines and the paperwork, scope the stairs or the older elevators at quote time, and the flat rate reflects the actual labour. You might see a three-storey walk-up stair carry out happening right next to a brand-new tower elevator move in on the same block. We handle both jobs without drama.
How do the street permits and truck rules work here?
Edmonds has formal rules for trucks and storage. A storage container on the street needs a permit via mypermits.burnaby.ca at least five working days in advance, with about $17 per day plus an admin fee and a maximum of five days. Containers must stay 15 metres from crosswalks and 6 metres from lanes and driveways. Your insurance must name the City with $2 million coverage. If a lane closure is truly needed, a Traffic Control Permit requires a minimum of 15 business days, so plan far ahead. We sort whichever permit applies when you book.
What should I know about moving near Edmonds Station?
Edmonds Station at 6944 18th Avenue is the original 1985 Expo Line stop, and it is a busy hub with a bus loop serving routes to Metrotown and New Westminster. The SkyTrain maintenance yard sits one block east, adding to the transit activity. Staging near the station requires care because the bus lanes and loop limit truck access. The flat rate covers the whole move, from the first box to the last piece of furniture, and we time the drive and the staging to keep the street clear and the crew working.
Are there parking restrictions I should worry about?
Trucks over 3,600 kg cannot park overnight on any Burnaby street, which shapes multi-day plans. Vehicles over 11,800 kg must use designated truck routes. Oversize loads are banned between 7 and 9 am and 3 and 6 pm on weekdays, a good proxy for the heavy traffic on Kingsway. We check the curb space and the lane widths on the side streets before we send the truck. The extra carry from a street position is measured and priced into the rate you confirm.
