The moving process involves either moving long-distance or locally. When you’re moving, it’s important to know what type of move you’re involved in.
Sokol Moving provides long distance moves throughout Ontario and local within GTA. Any move within 50 km is generally considered a local move. Local moves are the most common type of move in the moving industry and charged at an hourly rate. The hourly rate can depend on the size of your home and the specific items you are moving.
The size of your current home will determine the number of people needed on a moving crew and helps to estimate approximately how long time your move might take. The more people you have working on your move, the faster the move can be completed.
Moving throughout Ontario (traveling more than 50 km away), in addition to hourly rate, a travel time fee might be added to the cost of the move to cover fuel/mileage expenses for the drive to your new residents and back. Price will be dictated by how much stuff you’re moving, how heavy it is, and how far the shipment will be traveling to your new home. Cutting the costs for a long-distance move is simple: move less stuff (or less heavy/bulky items). If you have heavier items that you have not used for a long time, it may be better to dispose of them before moving. Whichever your move may be, long-distance or a local one, you will most likely need professional help so don’t hesitate to contact Sokol Moving and request a quote.
Finding the right boxes and packing supplies is one of the first steps you need to take when moving your home or business. We have all the moving and storage supplies you will ever need.
We use professional grade and environment friendly packing materials to prepare your items for transport. Our boxes come in many different sizes and strengths to help ensure safe and efficient moving.
Packing materials are available for all your moving, packing and shipping needs at competitive prices if you prefer to do your own packing. Reach our office to get more info about packing materials such moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, wardrobe boxes, picture boxes, stretch wrap, moving blankets, packing tape, mattress covers, etc. Whatever box you use, and wherever you get it, be sure that boxes are sturdy enough to support the weight of what you pack inside. Don’t over pack your boxes and keep the weight of each box under 40 lbs to make it safer and easier to lift the box.
The answer depends on several factors, such as the kinds of plants, distance they will travel, and time of year/weather conditions.
When it comes to moving plants in a pot, there are a few very important things to consider. If you’re moving long distance throughout Ontario (a distance of over 150 km) or locally, it would be kinder to your plants to transport them yourself. Make sure you water your plants the day before they will be transported. The soil has to be moist, not wet. Wrap your plants in a cone shaped form to keep all its leaves and soil from falling out or breaking. For breakable ceramic or clay pots, wrap the pot (but not the plant) in bubble wrap before packing. Just be sure you have a box large enough to protect the leaves and tops of the plants. Fill the extra space in the box with packing paper and newspaper. Consider covering the tops of your plant with a plastic bag for extra protection.
Most moving companies won’t move plants. There’s a high risk they will be damaged during the moving process. Remember, a plant is a living thing. Plants should be loaded into a truck last and unloaded first.
Your plants will be going to a new home and need acclimation to new surrounding and light. Expect some lost leaves it is all a part of the moving to a new home.
Sokol Moving will collect payment before unloading of the truck at the destination point, taking into consideration time needed to unload your belongings. If you wish, you can proceed with a payment at the time your goods are loaded into a truck. We accept many types of payments:
A moving estimate is a moving company’s assessment of your potential moving costs. Getting a moving estimate is something to be taken seriously and shouldn’t be left to the last minute.
Sokol Moving estimates your move costs by figuring the size of your possessions. Be prepared to provide all the necessary information to our representative in order to receive an accurate quote.

The cost of a move is determined by the size of the move/or weight of the shipment, the mileage between the origin and destination, and the labor costs. Factors that affect this hourly rate include labor costs, services such as packing or climbing an excessive number of stairs, assembling furniture, long carry charges and extra stops, etc.
Depending on the size of your current home and the amount of items to be moved, we can give you estimates based on the date (weekend and summer moves tend to be more expensive), amount of time, and number of movers we think you will need. Feel free to contact our office in order to receive your quote estimate.
One of the main factors that will influence the moving estimate is how many items you are planning to move to your new home. It also depends on several factors, such as where you are moving from and to, time of year, type of the building you are moving from and to. Time spent on moving day depends on what kind of items you are transporting and how many belongings you need to move. More items it always takes more time to finish the job.
