Every Coquitlam 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 the elevator's stuck.
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 Coquitlam 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.
Coquitlam is a city of distinct zones, each with its own moving logic. From the steep, winding streets of Westwood Plateau to the dense condo corridors around Town Centre, the way you move here depends entirely on where you live and where you’re going. We know these neighborhoods intimately, and we use that knowledge to give you a flat rate that actually holds up on move day.
Tower moves: Town Centre and Burquitlam
The heart of Coquitlam’s residential density is around Town Centre and the Burquitlam SkyTrain corridor. These buildings are modern, well-managed, and strict about access. If you’re moving into or out of a high-rise here, the process is less about the physical lifting and more about coordination with building management.
Most towers require you to book the service elevator in advance. We can’t do this for you, but we will tell you exactly what information your strata needs: the date, time, and sometimes a certificate of insurance. We issue these certificates routinely, so just ask for the strata’s name and we’ll send it over.
Loading bays in newer buildings often have height and weight restrictions. We check these before we arrive to ensure our trucks can get close enough to your door. If your building has a move-in deposit or fee, we’ll flag that early so there are no surprises. A two-hour elevator window is standard, and our crews are trained to maximize every minute of that slot by pre-staging items in the lobby.
The detached side: Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain
Away from the SkyTrain corridor, Coquitlam opens up into detached homes with character, slope, and history. Westwood Plateau is famous for its steep driveways and narrow streets. Burke Mountain, while newer, still features large lots and homes with significant inventory in garages and basements.
Moving in Westwood Plateau requires careful planning. The grades can be challenging for large trucks, and some driveways are too narrow for standard moving dollies. Our crews assess these access issues during the quote phase. We bring the right equipment for the job: stair climbers, heavy-duty straps, and smaller hand trucks that can navigate these slopes safely.
Burke Mountain homes often have large inventories. A flat rate works best here because we scope the actual contents of the house, including that cluttered garage or the basement full of old furniture. We don’t guess; we scope it properly. This honesty is what keeps our prices fair and predictable.
Maillardville and older walk-ups
Maillardville offers a different experience, with many older walk-up apartments and low-rise buildings. These moves are often more physically demanding because there’s no elevator. We charge based on the number of flights and the weight of the items, but our crews are efficient and experienced in carrying heavy furniture up and down stairs.
If you’re moving in Maillardville, consider the time of day. Older buildings may have shared stairwells that are tight, so scheduling your move when the building is less busy can help. We’ll work with you to find a slot that minimizes congestion and stress.
Timing and traffic in Coquitlam
Coquitlam’s traffic patterns are unique. The Coquihalla Highway connector, the bridge to Port Coquitlam, and the roads around Town Centre can get congested, especially during rush hour. We schedule moves to avoid these bottlenecks whenever possible.
For example, if you’re moving from Westwood Plateau to Town Centre, we might suggest a mid-morning slot to avoid the morning rush on the slopes. If you’re moving to Port Coquitlam, we’ll plan for the bridge traffic. Our goal is to get you moved efficiently, without wasting time in traffic.

Coquitlam questions
Asked before booking in Coquitlam.
How do you handle the steep driveways in Westwood Plateau?
We bring the right equipment for the grade. Westwood Plateau homes often have long, steep driveways and tight turns. Our crews are trained to navigate these inclines safely, and we assess the driveway pitch during the quote so we bring the right trucks and dollies.
Do you move between Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam?
Yes, all the time. The two cities share a border and plenty of movers cross it daily. Lougheed Highway and the Coquitlam River crossings back up at rush hour, so we time the drive between addresses to keep your crew moving instead of idling.
What are the parking rules for moving trucks in Town Centre?
Town Centre has dedicated loading zones and street parking restrictions that change based on construction and events. We monitor these closely and will arrive at your exact address with the correct permits or loading bay access. We never guess; we confirm the loading spot with you beforehand.
Can you help with a move in a Maillardville walk-up?
Absolutely. Maillardville has many older walk-up apartments that don't have elevators. Stairs are factored into your flat rate upfront, so there are no surprise charges on move day. Our crews are experienced in carrying heavy furniture up and down stairs efficiently and safely.
Is Burke Mountain a good area for families moving to Coquitlam?
It is one of the most popular areas for families. We move many families into Burke Mountain's newer subdivisions. These homes often have large garages and basements, which we factor into the flat rate. We also know the local schools and parks, so we can advise on the best times to move to minimize disruption.
