Senior Moving & Downsizing in Windsor

Senior Moving & Downsizing for Windsor homes

Windsor's century homes, riverfront condos, student rentals and newer subdivisions mean every kind of move, often on the same street. Many Windsor seniors are leaving homes they've owned for decades in neighbourhoods like South Walkerville, East Riverside and South Windsor, often to a condo or a retirement residence in the city. We plan these moves with the family and the residence, and take the time older homes with full basements need.

What's included

Patient, unhurried moves for seniors downsizing to a smaller home, a condo or a retirement residence, planned with the family. Depending on your move, that can include:

• Planning visit
• Floor-plan help
• Careful packing
• Residence coordination
• Set-up on arrival
• Help with what stays
• One contact
• A clear schedule
• Familiar first
• No rushing.

Full details, how the move runs and common questions are on our main senior moving & downsizing page.

Local details in Windsor

Windsor moves range from century homes with narrow stairs and plaster walls to bungalows, riverfront condos and newer subdivisions. Many older streets have rear alleys and limited street parking, so we plan where the truck stands before moving day.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for senior moving & downsizing in Windsor, get clear answers to these before you book:

• Will one person coordinate the move from start to finish?
• Can you work with the retirement residence and our family?
• Do you help plan what fits in the new space?
• Will you set up the bedroom and essentials on moving day?
• Can you deliver items to family members or into storage?

Parking, access and building rules

Before moving day we check where the truck can park at both homes. On narrow Windsor streets and in older neighbourhoods, the truck may need to use the rear alley or stand on the street, and we check with the City of Windsor whether anything is required for your street. Downtown and riverfront buildings usually need an elevator booking and set move hours, and many ask the mover for a certificate of insurance.
