About Moving in Markham
FleetGo Moving Services moves Markham households in and out of townhouses, detached homes and condos. FleetGo has documented a three-bedroom move from East York into Markham, and has not published a count of Markham moves.
Markham moves often turn on access: rear-lane townhouses in Cornell where the truck loads from the back, heritage village streets in Unionville and Markham Village with little room to park, and condo towers in Downtown Markham with booked elevators. FleetGo plans around whichever applies and confirms the crew size, scope and price in a written quote.

Townhouse and House Movers in Markham
A lot of Markham's newer housing, particularly in Cornell, is townhouses with rear garages on shared lanes. That changes the plan: the truck may load from the lane rather than the street, the garage level is often the tightest point, and every item from the upper floors comes down two or three flights. Detached homes in Unionville, Berczy and Markham Village are more straightforward to reach but usually hold more furniture.
Before a townhouse move
- Find out whether your townhouse loads from the street at the front or the lane and garage at the back.
- Measure the garage door and the stairs from the garage level, which are often the narrowest point.
- Ask neighbours sharing the lane to keep it clear during the booked time.
- Note which floor each large item is on; three- and four-level townhouses add a carry at every landing.
Disassembly and reassembly of standard beds and furniture is handled when it is part of the booked scope. See residential moving and furniture moving.
Condo Moves in Downtown Markham
The newer towers in Downtown Markham, around Highway 7 and Enterprise Boulevard, work like most condos: the resident reserves the elevator and loading area through management and the crew is scheduled into that slot. Some buildings also want paperwork or a deposit from the moving company, so send those requirements with your quote request and FleetGo will confirm what it can provide. See condo and apartment moving.
Overnight Parking in Markham
The City of Markham does not allow parking on City streets from 2:30 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. It offers temporary overnight exemptions, but they are not granted between November 1 and March 31, when street parking would interfere with snow removal. That matters most when a truck is loaded the night before an early start. For daytime parking, check the signs on your street and the City of Markham parking rules.
Lanes, visitor lots and condo drives follow their own rules. Parking is arranged by the customer and is not guaranteed by FleetGo, and access delays can add billable waiting time.
What a Markham Move Costs
FleetGo's rates are $125/hour for 2 movers, $169/hour for 3, $209/hour for 4 and $249/hour for 5, plus a $120 service fee, a three-hour labour minimum and HST. One example is a Downtown Markham condo; the other is a three-bedroom house, the same size as FleetGo's documented move into Markham.
| Move | Planning time | Before HST |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom Downtown Markham condo, 2 movers | typically 3–5 hours | $495–$7453–5 × $125 + $120 |
| 3-bedroom house, 3 movers | typically 5–8 hours | $965–$1,4725–8 × $169 + $120 |
Townhouse stairs push a move toward the top of its range more than distance does. Billing begins at the recorded start time once the crew is at your pickup address and runs in 30-minute steps after the minimum; the final written quote controls. See moving prices and the terms.
Packing, Storage and Longer Moves
On a multi-level townhouse move, packing ahead lets the crew spend the day on the stairs instead of on boxes, and FleetGo can do the packing. It can also coordinate storage where available or through trusted partners, and trips over 100 km are quoted at a flat rate after manual review. See packing services, storage solutions and long-distance moving.
Markham Neighbourhoods FleetGo Serves
Markham mixes heritage village cores, planned townhouse communities and a growing condo downtown, and each needs a different plan:
- Downtown Markham
- Newer condo towers near Highway 7 and Enterprise Boulevard, where elevator bookings and building loading areas set the schedule.
- Cornell
- Planned neighbourhoods with many townhouses served by rear lanes and garages, so the truck often loads from the back.
- Unionville
- A heritage Main Street surrounded by established detached homes, where narrow village streets and mature trees limit truck placement.
- Markham Village
- Historic houses along Main Street Markham and newer subdivisions around them, with very different access from one street to the next.
- Berczy Village & Wismer
- Newer detached homes and townhouses on curving streets, usually with driveway or garage access close to the door.
- Thornhill (Markham side)
- The part of Thornhill east of Yonge Street, with older detached homes, townhouses and some condo buildings near Steeles.
Highways 404 and 407, Highway 7 and Markham Road connect most of the city, and the 404 is often slow at rush hour. Service is confirmed for your actual pickup and destination addresses.
