A good senior move starts at the end. We look at the new suite's floor plan first, then work backwards through the house: this fits, this goes to the grandkids, this goes into storage. A lifetime of belongings becomes a clear plan, one room at a time. We help families do this every week across Surrey, BC and Metro Vancouver.
Often it's a son or daughter making the calls, sometimes from another city. Either way, you talk to Tarek, the owner. He has quoted and planned moves himself since 1999. Call (604) 721-4555 and tell him what's happening. He'll set a pace that works for your parent, not a stopwatch.
“The fixed price they quoted was the best quote we got. Tarek took full responsibility on the day. Including an upright piano.”

How we plan a senior move from the new floor plan backwards
We walk the house with you or your parent and sort room by room. What fits in the new suite gets measured and marked. Pieces going to family get set aside for delivery. Things nobody is ready to part with go into storage. Rita, one of our storage customers, said we 'took such good care of our belongings while in storage.'
Packing help is there if you want it, through our packing services with no minimum box count. We use eco-friendly packing materials and label every box for the room it lands in.

Does a senior move include unpacking and setup?
Yes, and for senior moves we recommend it. The crew places furniture to the floor plan, sets up the bed, and unpacks boxes so the kettle, the remote, and the photos are out before we leave. The goal is simple: the first night in the new place feels like home, not a campsite.
We also work around the residence's rules. Move-in windows, elevator bookings, and parking all get confirmed with the front desk before moving day.
Why families call 1Pro back for the next senior move
Repeat customers tell the story better than we can. Mohammed wrote it was the 'fourth time we hire this company... zero damages.' Giulia has moved with us at least 5 times. And one repeat customer wrote last November that Tarek remembered their family years later: 'If you need to move, CALL TAREK @ 1PRO MOVING!'
When the family home sells, we handle the full house move too, from packing to the last box. We hold an A+ BBB rating with zero claims in 20 years, and our crews are bonded, insured, and covered by WCB.

How do you downsize a parent's home for assisted living?
Start with the new suite's floor plan, not the old house. Measure what fits, then sort the rest into three groups: gifts to family, storage, and letting go. We walk the house with you, build that list room by room, then pack, move, and set up the new place. The floor plan makes each decision smaller and easier.
Do senior movers unpack and set up the new home?
Yes. Unpacking and setup are part of our senior moving service when you want them. We place furniture to the floor plan, set up the bed, and unpack the boxes so the suite works from night one. Tell us how far to take it: some families want every box emptied, others just the kitchen and bedroom.
How long does a senior downsizing move take?
Moving day itself is usually one day. The sorting beforehand takes longer, and rushing it is how the wrong things get thrown out. Many families spread the decisions over a week or two, and we fit the packing and the move around that. Your pace sets the schedule, not ours.
Can you work around a retirement residence's schedule?
Yes. Most residences set move-in windows and elevator bookings, and we confirm those with the front desk before moving day. We move seniors into residences across Surrey and Metro Vancouver, so the check-in routine is familiar to our crews. Give us the residence's name and we'll handle the back-and-forth.
What does a senior move cost?
Every move is quoted after a free onsite or virtual estimate, and the price is fixed with no travel time or fuel charges. Sorting help, packing, storage, and setup are each listed in the written quote, so there are no surprises. Call (604) 721-4555 and Tarek will walk you through it.
