Richmond movers who plan around the tunnel and bridges, know the No. road grid, and fit trucks into townhouse complexes. Flat-rate moving with the price in writing.
Every Richmond 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 Richmond 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.
Richmond is an island city on a grid. Once you know that, most of what makes a Richmond move different follows: everything in and out crosses a bridge or the tunnel, the No. roads carve the city into predictable blocks, and the housing stock swings from glass towers at Brighouse to postwar ranchers in Seafair and heritage cottages in Steveston.
The crossings decide your schedule
Every move that leaves Richmond funnels through a handful of chokepoints: the Massey Tunnel, the Knight Street and Oak Street bridges heading north, the Alex Fraser to the east. At rush hour these back up hard, and a loaded truck stuck in the queue is the classic way an hourly mover's bill grows. Two things we do about it:
We schedule crossings against the flow where possible: mid-morning northbound, early afternoon southbound, and we avoid the tunnel's worst windows entirely.
Your Nash price is a flat rate, so even if the George Massey decides to have a bad day, the number you were quoted is the number you pay.
Townhouse country
A huge share of Richmond lives in townhouse complexes around Broadmoor, Ironwood, and Terra Nova, and they're the moves that punish poor planning. Internal lanes built for sedans, carports with low beams, visitor parking three buildings away from your unit, and strata rules about blocking fire lanes. We ask about the complex up front, plan where the truck stages, and bring enough crew that a longer carry doesn't blow the day. Multi-level townhouses also mean interior stairs on both ends of the move, which is scoped into the quote rather than discovered during it.
Towers at Brighouse, cottages in Steveston
The city centre around Brighouse and Lansdowne stations has grown a proper high-rise skyline, and those buildings run on the same discipline as any downtown tower: booked service elevators, insurance certificates for the strata, padded elevator walls, loading bays. At the other end of the city, Steveston's older homes and cannery-village streets are narrow, character-filled, and occasionally home to staircases that require taking a door off its hinges. We've done both, sometimes in the same day.
One more Richmond quirk
No basements. The flood plain means Richmond homes store everything at ground level or above: garages, attics, spare bedrooms. When you do your inventory for the quote, walk the garage honestly. It's the room Richmond underestimates most, and an accurate count is what lets us put one guaranteed number on paper.
When you're ready, get your flat-rate quote and mention your complex or building by name. In Richmond, that detail is half the plan.

Richmond questions
Asked before booking in Richmond.
Do you charge extra for crossing the tunnel or bridges out of Richmond?
No separate crossing fee. Distance and drive time are already part of your flat rate, so a move from Richmond to Vancouver or Surrey is priced once, up front, with the crossing baked in. We also plan the departure time so the crew isn't sitting in the Massey Tunnel queue on your dime.
Can your truck actually get into my Richmond townhouse complex?
This is the question to ask, and most companies don't until move day. Many Richmond complexes have tight internal lanes, carport clearances, and strict fire-lane rules. Tell us your complex when you quote and we'll plan where the truck stages, sometimes at the visitor lot with a short carry, so nothing stalls at 8 a.m.
My condo is by Brighouse station. Do the same elevator rules apply as downtown?
Yes. The towers around Brighouse and Lansdowne run service-elevator bookings just like Vancouver and Burnaby high-rises, usually through the concierge, and many want the mover's insurance certificate first. We handle the certificate and schedule the crew tight to your elevator window.
Do Richmond houses really have no basements? What does that mean for my move?
Almost none do; the city sits on delta land, so storage lives in garages, attics, and back rooms instead. That's actually good news for pricing: fewer basement stairs. But garages here tend to be packed to the ceiling, so be honest about yours when you quote, and the flat rate will hold.
