Moving marks a turning point. New keys, new routines, a fresh chapter ahead. You have two options. Option one is to do it yourself. Rent a truck and bribe a few friends. But when the couch won’t clear the doorway, and the boxes run out, option two becomes clear: hire the professionals.

As one of the most trusted residential moving companies in Kitchener, PlusOne brings structure and experience to what can otherwise feel chaotic. With over five years in the industry and nearly 10,000 successful moves behind us, we keep moving day organized, efficient, and calm.
Our pricing reflects the standards we hold ourselves to every single move. When people look up the cost of movers per hour in Kitchener, they’re usually comparing numbers. We focus on what those numbers actually deliver.
We are the household movers Kitchener residents call for any moving challenge, whether it’s a cozy condo, a multi-storey house, or a compact studio. PlusOne is there to share life’s big and small moments with you, when you’re upgrading or downsizing, relocating for work, or moving out for university.
No matter what we’re carrying, your favourite coffee cup or a 100-year-old antique, we treat every belonging of yours with care and respect. Our team helps families, seniors, businesses, busy professionals and students move locally and beyond the city easily and worry-free.
After 5 years of helping Kitchener residents move, we know one thing for sure: every good move starts with a plan. No two moves are alike. Some require elevator bookings. Others come with tight hallways or limited parking access. Homes vary in size and layout, and without thoughtful planning, things can go sideways fast.
That’s why PlusOne plans ahead and keeps a Plan B, C, and D ready just in case. We spot potential issues early, before they turn into real problems and bring all the needed tools and materials, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Pricing can also shift based on timing and the level of extra support you choose. Services like packing, unpacking, storage, or furniture removal may affect the final cost, but they often make the move feel lighter and far more manageable. If any of these feel right for you, just let the team know during the estimate stage.
We are also proud to serve the surrounding areas of Kitchener, including Guelph, Waterloo, and nearby communities: Cambridge, Guelph, Waterloo, Ayr, Elmira, New Hamburg, St. Jacobs, Stratford, Woodstock, Milton, and surrounding areas.
The cost of residential moving services varies depending on several factors, including the size of your home, the distance of the move, the volume of belongings being relocated, and any additional services you choose, such as packing, unpacking, or storage. Accessibility at both the pickup and delivery locations, including stairs, elevators, and driveway access, can also affect the final price.
At PlusOne Moving, we provide personalized, transparent quotes tailored to your specific moving requirements, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges. Our goal is to deliver reliable, affordable residential moving services that offer exceptional value and ensure a smooth, stress-free moving experience.
We accept cash, debit cards, credit cards, and cheques.
For local moves, payment is due upon completion of the move, after all services have been provided and your belongings have been unloaded.
For long-distance moves, payment is due before unloading at the destination, once the moving truck arrives.
No. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Every estimate clearly outlines the expected costs based on your inventory, access conditions, and moving requirements. If additional services or specialty items are required, they will be discussed and included in your quote beforehand.
Booking your residential move with PlusOne Moving is simple and hassle-free. Start by requesting a free quote online or contacting our team to discuss your moving plans and requirements.
To provide you with the most accurate estimate, we recommend sharing a list of the items you need to move. If you have any special requests or require additional services, our experienced team will work with you to create a customized moving plan that fits your needs and schedule.
We recommend starting your packing at least 2–4 weeks before your moving day, depending on the size of your home. Begin with seasonal items, decorations, books, and other belongings you don't use every day, leaving everyday essentials for the final few days before your move.
You should pack personal valuables such as important documents, passports, jewellery, medications, laptops, chargers, and any sentimental or irreplaceable items. If you prefer, our professional packing team can safely pack the rest of your household belongings.
In addition to residential moving, PlusOne Moving provides office, furniture, pool table, student, senior, long-distance and last-minute moving services.
