You are moving from a split-level near Agincourt to a bigger place in Port Union. Or you just bought a condo near Scarborough Town Centre and need movers who understand high-rise logistics. Maybe your family has outgrown the Milliken semi and you are heading to a detached in Highland Creek. Whatever your move looks like, you need a Scarborough crew that knows the neighborhoods, the building types, and the fastest routes across the east end. Umbrella Movers Inc. is based at 25 Crouse Road in Scarborough — we have completed over 1,600 moves across this city since 2017, with a 98% customer satisfaction rate on Google reviews.
Why Scarborough Customers Choose Umbrella Movers
Most moving companies that say they serve Scarborough dispatch trucks from downtown Toronto or Mississauga. Their crews arrive already 45 minutes into their day, unfamiliar with the streets they are navigating. We are different because we operate from Scarborough.
Our crew yard is at 25 Crouse Road, Unit #1003. Every truck starts here. Every crew knows the 401-McCowan merge, the Ellesmere bottleneck during school hours, and the fastest way from Cliffside to West Hill on a Saturday morning. That local knowledge saves you time — and time is money on an hourly move.
Four things matter to Scarborough residents when they choose us over other movers:
1. We know Scarborough’s housing stock. Scarborough is not one type of home. It is 1970s split-levels in Agincourt with narrow staircases and low basement ceilings. It is pre-war bungalows in Cliffside with plaster walls and tight doorways. It is glass-and-concrete high-rises along McCowan and Brimley with service elevator bookings and loading dock protocols. It is new-build detached homes in Highland Creek with open-concept layouts and hardwood throughout. Our crews have moved all of them. We know which furniture needs partial disassembly before negotiating a split-level turn. We know which hallways in which buildings fit a king mattress flat and which require a tilt.
2. We employ our crews directly. Every mover on your truck is trained by us, insured by us, and accountable to us. We do not subcontract to day laborers. The crew lead on your move has completed at least 200 moves. They know how to wrap a glass dining table so it survives an Ellesmere pothole. They know how to carry a dresser up a three-flight walk-up near Brimley and Eglinton without marking the walls.
3. We are not a broker. When you book Umbrella Movers, you get Umbrella Movers. Some websites that rank for “movers Scarborough” are lead-generation platforms that sell your booking to the lowest bidder. We do one thing: we move you. Your quote comes from us. Your crew works for us. Your claim — should anything happen — goes through us.
4. We handle what other movers avoid. Pianos. Pool tables. Grandfather clocks. Glass curio cabinets. Workshop equipment in a basement off Warden Avenue. Our crews have the training and the equipment for specialty items that make other companies add surcharges or decline outright.
Moving Services for Every Scarborough Home
Every move is different. Here is what we offer Scarborough residents — one company, one call.
Residential Home Moving — Detached, Semi-Detached, Townhouse
Most of our Scarborough moves are home relocations. We handle 2-bedroom semis in Bendale and 5-bedroom detached homes in L’Amoreaux with the same attention. Furniture disassembly and reassembly is included. We bring wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes. We wrap upholstered furniture in moving blankets before it leaves your house. We protect floors with runners at both locations.
Condo and Apartment Moving — High-Rise Specialists
Moving in or out of a Scarborough condo requires coordination. We contact your building management before moving day to confirm elevator booking windows, loading dock access, and certificate of insurance requirements. Our Scarborough condo moving specialists handle this every week. If you are in a walk-up near Kingston Road without an elevator, we know how to handle stair carries efficiently.
Piano and Specialty Item Moving
A piano is not furniture. It is a precision instrument weighing 400 to 1,200 pounds with delicate internal mechanics. Our professional piano moving team in Scarborough uses specialized dollies, padding, and lifting techniques. We have moved uprights, baby grands, and full concert grands across Scarborough — from basement walkouts in West Hill to penthouse condos with service elevator time limits.
Packing and Unpacking — Full Service or Partial
We offer full packing and unpacking services for Scarborough customers who want the move handled completely. Our team brings high-quality boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape. We label every box by room. We unpack on the other end and place items where you want them. You unpack zero boxes unless you want to.
Furniture Dismantling, Assembly, and Labour-Only Support
Beds, dining tables, sectional sofas, office desks, wardrobe systems — we dismantle at origin and reassemble at destination. Need extra hands for a DIY move? We offer labour-only assistance for loading and unloading your rental truck.
Secure Storage — Short or Long Term
If your closing dates do not line up or you are downsizing and need temporary space, our climate-controlled storage facilities in Scarborough keep your belongings protected until you need them.
How We Handle Your Scarborough Move — Step by Step
Every move follows a process designed to remove unknowns. Here is what to expect when you book with us.
Step 1: Free Quote and Planning Call
Call 416-903-9909 or request a quote. We ask about both addresses, your inventory, any specialty items, access at both locations — stairs, elevators, loading docks, parking. We give you a firm estimate based on what you tell us. We do not lowball to book the job and add fees on moving day.
Step 2: Pre-Move Coordination
One week before your move, your crew lead calls to confirm details. We verify the elevator booking at your condo. We confirm parking arrangements for the truck. If anything changed — more furniture, different access — we adjust the plan.
Step 3: Moving Day — Pack, Load, Transport
Our crew arrives on time at the scheduled start. Two movers minimum — three or four for larger homes or piano moves. We protect floors with runners, wrap furniture in moving blankets, load the truck in a specific order (heavy items first, boxes on top, fragile items in protected positions). For condos, we work within the elevator window and clear the loading dock on schedule.
Step 4: Unload, Reassemble, Walkthrough
At your new home, we unload in reverse order. Furniture goes to the rooms you designate. Beds are reassembled. Boxes are placed by room label. Before we leave, we do a final walkthrough with you. You confirm everything is where it should be, nothing is damaged, and the job is complete.
Call 416-903-9909 now to lock in your moving date. Summer weekends fill 6 to 8 weeks in advance. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you have on date and time.

What Scarborough Customers Ask Before Booking
Are you actually based in Scarborough, or do you just serve it?
We are based at 25 Crouse Road, Unit #1003, Scarborough, M1R 5P8. Our trucks are stored here. Our crews report here. Our operations run from here. We are not a downtown company listing Scarborough as a service area. We are a Scarborough company.
What size moves do you handle?
We handle everything from studio apartments to 5-bedroom houses. Our fleet includes 16-foot, 20-foot, and 26-foot trucks. For very large homes, we send two trucks with a crew of four to six. We have moved 1-bedroom condos in under three hours and 10,000-square-foot homes over two days. No move is too small. Few are too large.
What happens if something gets damaged?
Every move includes basic valuation coverage. We also offer full-value protection for customers who want complete peace of mind. In 9 years and over 1,600 moves, our damage claim rate is under 2 percent — and most of those are minor. If damage occurs, we handle claims directly. No third-party adjuster. No runaround. We fix it.
Do you move on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Saturday is our busiest day. We move seven days a week year-round, including statutory holidays. Weekend and end-of-month dates book first — call early for the most options.
Are there any hidden fees I should know about?
No. You pay for the time you use, from arrival to completion. Travel time from our yard to your first address is included. Basic furniture disassembly and reassembly is included. Moving blankets, dollies, and floor runners are included. The only extras are packing materials if you want full-service packing, specialty crating for high-value items, and valuation coverage upgrades — and we discuss all of these before you book.
