Movers in Somerset, Calgary

Looking for a Mover Near Somerset?

Somerset sits in Calgary's southwest, in Ward 13, up on high ground at about 1,070 metres. The community is boxed in by clear edges. The CTrain right-of-way runs down the east side, James McKevitt Road closes it off to the west, Stoney Trail forms the southern edge, and 162 Avenue SW caps the top. Bridlewood is your neighbour to the west, Shawnessy wraps the north and east, and Silverado sits to the south toward the Spruce Meadows grounds. If you live here, that box is the whole map for move day.

This is a young community by Calgary standards. Somerset was established in 1995, and most of the housing went up in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It's a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and condos, with roughly one in ten dwellings being a condominium or apartment. The 2016 census counted 8,596 residents in 3,153 homes. The street pattern is classic Calgary suburb: curvilinear crescents and cul-de-sacs branching off James McKevitt Road, most houses with an attached garage, and townhouse blocks tucked near the Somerset-Bridlewood CTrain station at the end of the Red Line. Knowing that layout before we roll up is half the job.

What Somerset Moves Actually Deal With

The two real headaches in Somerset are the streets and the stairs. Those crescents and cul-de-sacs look quiet, but they leave a five-ton truck very little room to stage. Half of them dead-end, driveways sit close together, and a lot of the parking is on-street, so where we set the truck matters. We plan the spot before the ramp comes down, run rubber-backed floor runners from the door to the curb, and keep the load path short so nobody is walking a couch the length of the block.

Then there's the housing itself. The late-90s and early-2000s stock here is mostly two-storey, which means the beds, the mattresses, and the upstairs dressers all come down a staircase, and the fridge or washer goes up one at the far end. That's a hand-and-back job, not a dolly-straight-out job. On the townhouse and condo side near the CTrain, the complication is the building, not the stairs. Those blocks run their own move-in windows and elevator bookings, so we confirm the slot ahead of time and load in the order the window allows. We're close enough to fix a problem fast too. The drive from our Midnapore base at 16 Midlake Blvd SE to Somerset is about 7 minutes and 3 kilometres, straight over on Shawville Boulevard SE and 6 Street SW.

Most Somerset jobs land in one of three buckets: a full house move out of the two-storey stock, a condo or townhouse move near the station, or a move where you want us to handle the packing too. Here's how we run each one.

What We Offer in Somerset

Why Somerset Customers Choose Us

We're 7 Minutes Away

Our base is in Midnapore, one hop south down Macleod Trail, and Somerset is about 7 minutes and 3 kilometres from the door over Shawville Boulevard SE and 6 Street SW. That's not a marketing line, it's the actual drive. Closer base means we're on time, we're not burning your hourly clock sitting in cross-town traffic, and if a job needs a second run or one more item, we can make it happen the same day.

We Know These Streets

We move Somerset, Bridlewood, Shawnessy, and Silverado week in and week out, so we already know how the crescents dead-end, where a truck can actually park off James McKevitt Road, and how the condo blocks by the station run their elevators. That local read is why our load-ins are quick and why nothing gets dinged squeezing around a tight cul-de-sac.

Billed by the Hour, Quoted Up Front

Every Somerset move is billed by the hour, for the actual hours the crew works, and quoted up front before you book. The rate covers the crew, the truck, the dollies and straps, the moving blankets and shrink wrap, the rubber-backed floor runners, and the complimentary wardrobe cartons, mirror cartons, and mattress bags. What moves the hours is what always does: how much is coming, how many stairs, how much packing you want us to handle, and what a condo building allows on the other end. We walk it through with you and break the number down first. We never quote a fake flat-rate.

45+ Years, Bonded, Insured, BBB A+

The owner has 45+ years in this trade and is on the truck, not just on the phone. We're fully bonded and insured on every move, BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and the crew is uniformed and identifiable, which matters when a condo front desk needs to know exactly who's coming through the door. A lot of our Somerset work comes from referrals and repeat customers for that reason.

We're Right Here in Somerset

Our yard is in Midnapore, deep south off Macleod Trail, and Somerset is the next community cluster to the southwest. The quick way over is Shawville Boulevard SE to 6 Street SW, about 7 minutes on a normal day. That short hop is why we can hold a tight window and why booking us doesn't cost you a long, meter-running drive across the city.
