Over a Century of Moving Expertise

When it comes to moving companies, experience matters and few can match the legacy of Salmon’s Moving & Storage. Founded in 1913, Salmon’s has been serving British Columbia and beyond for more than a century. This remarkable history speaks volumes about the company’s dedication to reliability, quality, and customer satisfaction. Over the years, they’ve navigated changes in technology, transportation, and customer expectations, continually evolving while maintaining the same trusted values that built their foundation.

For clients, this wealth of experience translates into peace of mind. Every move is handled by a team that understands the complexities of logistics, scheduling, and the emotional side of relocation. Salmon’s seasoned professionals know how to anticipate and prevent problems before they happen ensuring that the moving process is efficient, organized, and stress-free. Their deep roots in the community also mean that clients can expect integrity, accountability, and a proven track record of excellence that only generations of service can provide.

Comprehensive Residential and Commercial Moving Services

Salmon’s Moving & Storage offers a complete suite of residential and commercial moving solutions, making them a one-stop shop for all moving needs. Whether you’re relocating across town, to another province, or across the country, their team is equipped to manage every aspect of the process. Residential clients benefit from careful handling of personal belongings, while businesses can take advantage of coordinated, time-sensitive moving plans that minimize downtime and disruption.

Their commercial moving services are especially valuable for offices, retail stores, and industrial clients who need to maintain business continuity. Salmon’s employs a strategic approach, packing and transporting equipment, electronics, and furniture with precision while adhering to deadlines. Residential customers appreciate their full-service options as well, including packing, labeling, and setting up furniture in their new homes. This comprehensive approach saves time, reduces stress, and provides clients with a seamless transition to their next chapter.

Specialized Moving Solutions for High-Value and Sensitive Items

Certain items require extra care, and Salmon’s Moving & Storage is well known for its specialized moving services designed for fragile, high-value, or unusually shaped items. This includes pianos, antiques, artwork, medical and laboratory equipment, and museum-quality pieces. The company understands that these possessions carry both monetary and sentimental value, so each move is handled using specialized packing materials, handling techniques, and transport methods that prevent damage or loss.

Salmon’s dedicated teams are trained to handle unique challenges, such as moving a grand piano up narrow stairs or safely crating an oil painting for cross-country shipment. They utilize custom padding, protective wrapping, and secure strapping systems to ensure safe handling during loading, transit, and delivery. For clients, this service is a reassurance that even their most valuable or delicate possessions are in expert hands. It’s this level of precision and professionalism that sets Salmon’s apart from general moving companies that may not have the expertise for such intricate tasks.

Secure and Climate-Controlled Storage Facilities

Moving and storage often go hand in hand and Salmon’s Moving & Storage offers secure, climate-controlled storage facilities designed to protect belongings for both short-term and long-term needs. Whether clients are between homes, downsizing, or waiting for renovations to be completed, Salmon’s provides safe, convenient storage options. Their warehouses are temperature-controlled, pest-free, and monitored 24/7 for security, ensuring that furniture, documents, and sensitive materials remain in pristine condition.

This service is particularly beneficial for those with valuable items susceptible to temperature or humidity damage, such as artwork, electronics, and wooden furniture. Clients can also enjoy flexible storage terms, allowing them to retrieve or store items on their own schedule. With professional inventory management and easy accessibility, Salmon’s storage solutions are more than just a convenience, they’re a reliable extension of their full-service moving offerings, providing flexibility and peace of mind throughout the relocation process.

White-Glove and Senior Relocation Services

Not all moves are the same and Salmon’s Moving & Storage recognizes that some clients require extra care and attention. Their white-glove moving services cater to individuals and families who want a completely hands-off experience. This service includes meticulous packing using premium materials, professional furniture placement, unpacking, debris removal, and even interior setup assistance. The result is a stress-free move that allows clients to focus on settling into their new space while Salmon’s handles every detail.

Additionally, the company offers specialized senior relocation services designed to make transitions smoother for older adults. Moving at any age can be overwhelming, but for seniors, it can carry emotional and logistical challenges. Salmon’s compassionate team assists with downsizing, organizing, and setting up new homes, often coordinating directly with family members to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. These personalized moving services highlight Salmon’s human touch, setting them apart from competitors that focus solely on logistics.

Commitment to Community and Customer Care

Perhaps what truly distinguishes Salmon’s Moving & Storage is its deep-rooted commitment to customer satisfaction and community values. As a locally operated company with more than a century in business, Salmon’s has become a trusted name in British Columbia. Their success is built on long-term client relationships, repeat business, and referrals which is proof that their customer-first approach continues to deliver exceptional results.

The company prioritizes transparency, clear communication, and integrity in every interaction. Clients are kept informed throughout their move, with responsive support available at every stage. Beyond business, Salmon’s also engages with local community initiatives, supporting charitable organizations and fostering local partnerships. This focus on people, both inside and outside the company, reflects their belief that moving isn’t just about transporting belongings; it’s about helping individuals and families start new chapters with confidence and care.

Premium Pricing for Premium Service

Given its reputation, experience, and full-service offerings, Salmon’s Moving & Storage typically operates at a higher price point than smaller or budget moving companies. Their rates reflect the quality of care, trained staff, and comprehensive services they provide, but for cost-sensitive clients, this can be a drawback. Those seeking the lowest possible moving costs may find that Salmon’s quotes are higher than competitors who offer fewer services or rely on temporary labor. However, many clients find the investment worthwhile for the peace of mind and professionalism that come with hiring a company that has been trusted for generations.

Limited Service Area Outside of British Columbia

Salmon’s Moving & Storage is headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, and while they offer long-distance moving across Canada and into the U.S., their strongest presence and logistical network are within Western Canada. Clients located outside of this region (or those moving internationally) may face limited availability or longer scheduling times. For moves beyond their main service area, Salmon’s often partners with affiliated moving companies, which can mean less direct control over the end-to-end process. Prospective customers should confirm whether Salmon’s handles their entire move directly or coordinates through partners.

Limited Online Booking or Instant Quote Options

Although Salmon’s Moving & Storage maintains a modern website, some aspects of their customer onboarding process remain more traditional. Unlike newer moving startups that offer instant online quotes and automated scheduling, Salmon’s typically requires a personalized consultation or in-person estimate. While this allows for accurate pricing and customized service, it can be less convenient for clients who prefer quick digital interactions or immediate cost comparisons.

Traditional Communication Style

As a long-established company with deep roots in the community, Salmon’s Moving & Storage sometimes takes a more personal, hands-on approach to communication rather than relying heavily on automation or digital tools. While this is a positive for clients who value personal attention, those accustomed to instant digital updates or app-based tracking systems may find the process slightly slower or less tech-integrated than newer competitors.
