Movers in Nanaimo
Nanaimo moves range from downtown condos near the harbour to family homes in Departure Bay and rural properties in south Nanaimo. SS Moving crews handle BC Ferries coordination from the Lower Mainland and navigate the city's hillside streets connecting the waterfront to upper neighbourhoods.
We Know Nanaimo Like Locals — Because We Are
Our crews move in Nanaimo every day. We plan around local traffic, building rules, and parking quirks so your move stays on time and on budget.
Nanaimo moves cover the Old City Quarter and Downtown core, the family homes of Brechin Hill and the University District, and the hillside properties of Departure Bay and Hammond Bay. Our crews plan around the BC Ferries terminal access, the Highway 19 corridor, and the steep grades above the harbour. From Harewood to Pleasant Valley, we know Nanaimo’s harbour-city terrain.
Old City Quarter and Downtown parking
Heritage homes in the Old City Quarter and Downtown core have narrow streets and limited loading zones. We reserve parking and plan around the Bastion Bridge access.
Brechin Hill and Departure Bay steep access
Hillside properties in Brechin Hill, Departure Bay, and Hammond Bay have steep driveways. Share grade and gate details so we send the right truck and crew size.
BC Ferries terminal coordination
Moves to or from the mainland involve BC Ferries from Departure Bay. We coordinate ferry reservations and timing for Vancouver Island long-distance moves.
University District and Harewood family moves
Family homes near Vancouver Island University and in Harewood may need a street occupancy permit. We handle City of Nanaimo permits as part of your booking.

South Nanaimo family neighbourhood — mix of older and newer homes with driveway access.

Growing residential area — newer subdivisions with wider streets and standard driveways.

What Nanaimo Customers Say
Real reviews from Nanaimo residents who trusted SS Moving Services with their move.
"Moved from a Square One high-rise to a Port Credit house. SS Moving coordinated the elevator, loading dock, and certificates of insurance without me lifting a finger. The crew was fast, careful, and friendly. Best movers in Mississauga."
"Moved from a 20th floor Coal Harbour condo to Kitsilano. SS Moving handled the freight elevator booking, loading dock, and even coordinated with my strata. Not a single scratch on my furniture or the walls. These guys are pros."
"SS Moving Services helped us move from Vancouver to Surrey and the movers were extremely careful with our furniture. Nothing was damaged and they finished ahead of schedule. Highly recommend!"
