Appleby Moving & Storage has been moving families out of west Mississauga since 1986. If you are selling in Clarkson, Erin Mills or Meadowvale and buying in Burlington, Hamilton or Niagara, we handle the whole move: packing, loading, the QEW run, and storage in between when your closing dates do not line up.
Our crews dispatch from our own yard on the North Service Road in Burlington, which puts the truck at the destination end of your route before the day even starts.
Clarkson to Burlington is one of the most common moves we run. It is a straight QEW shot, roughly 25 to 35 minutes outside rush hour, so most Clarkson households move in a single day with one truck and one crew.
Families leave Clarkson’s older streets off Lakeshore Road West for Aldershot, Roseland, Alton Village and Millcroft, often trading a 1960s side-split for something newer. We plan around the morning QEW crush: crews start early at the Clarkson end and unload in Burlington by mid-afternoon. Our yard sits at 5035 North Service Road in Burlington, so the trucks are already at the destination end of the route and you are not paying a crew to drive in from out of town. Our Burlington movers page covers what happens once you are settled here.
Erin Mills to Hamilton runs about 45 minutes by the QEW and Red Hill Valley Parkway. Erin Mills to St. Catharines or Niagara-on-the-Lake is closer to an hour and fifteen. Both are single-day moves for most households, though we usually recommend a larger crew so the truck is loaded before the afternoon.
This route keeps growing as Erin Mills sellers cash out of the west Mississauga detached market and buy more house in Dundas, Ancaster, Stoney Creek or the Niagara towns. Longer routes reward tighter packing, because a truck loaded properly does not need a second trip. If you would rather not wrap the kitchen yourself, our packing services crews can do a full or partial pack the day before. Our Hamilton movers page explains the local side.
Meadowvale sits closest to the 401 and Winston Churchill Boulevard, making Milton and north Oakville easy 30-minute runs and Burlington a comfortable 35. Condo and townhouse moves need elevator time booked in advance, so we confirm the building’s move-out window before quoting a crew size. If Oakville is your destination, our Oakville movers page has the details.
Clarkson is one of the older parts of west Mississauga, and it moves differently than a new subdivision. Clarkson Village along the Lakeshore Road corridor is tight: narrow driveways, mature trees, street parking that fills fast. Our crews check truck access beforehand and bring a shuttle plan for the streets near Rattray Marsh and Meadow Wood where a full-size truck will not fit.
Homes here also hold more: forty years of basement storage, garage workshops, the occasional piano. Clarkson GO commuters often move mid-week to keep the weekend free. Appleby Moving & Storage works around all of it, including the heritage streets near the Bradley Museum where parking permits matter.
Erin Mills spans a lot of housing types, from the 1970s homes in Sawmill Valley to the newer builds around Central Erin Mills and the Erin Mills Town Centre area. Access is generally easy, so most detached moves load straight from the door with our residential moving crews.
The exception is the condo and townhouse cluster along Erin Mills Parkway and the buildings near Credit Valley Hospital, where a booked elevator decides the whole schedule. Send us the building’s move-out rules with your quote request and we will size the crew to finish inside the window. Erin Mills sellers are our most frequent Hamilton and Niagara customers.
Meadowvale runs from the heritage streets of Meadowvale Village to the townhouse pockets around Lake Aquitaine and Meadowvale Town Centre. Most of the housing stock dates to the late 1970s and 1980s: finished basements, deep crawl spaces and garages that take longer to clear than owners expect.
Truck access off Derry Road and Winston Churchill Boulevard is straightforward, and being minutes from the 401 keeps travel time low on moves to Milton, Burlington and Oakville. Friday closings are common here, so we can hold the truck loaded overnight or move your goods into storage if the keys are not ready.
Moves from Clarkson, Erin Mills or Meadowvale to Burlington are billed hourly: crew and truck, plus travel time. A two-bedroom condo typically runs four to six hours; a three or four-bedroom house, seven to ten. There is no long-distance rate on this route.
What moves the number is volume and access: stairs, elevator waits, a full basement, a long carry to the door. Packing is quoted separately. The fastest way to a real figure is a walkthrough, in person or by video. Request a free quote and we will send a written estimate with crew, truck and hours spelled out.
Yes. Bridging moves are common on this route, and your goods go into our own heated facility in Burlington rather than to a third party. Everything is loaded once, stored, and delivered when you have keys.
Gaps of a few days to a few months are all workable. Because the storage sits at 5035 North Service Road, next door to most Burlington and Oakville destinations, the second leg of the move is short. See our storage options for sizes and access.
Four to six weeks for peak season, May through September, and for any month-end or Friday closing. Off-peak, two weeks is usually enough.
