Apartment & Small Moves in St. John's
Apartment, Condo, and Walk-Up Moves — Vehicle and Independent Moving Professionals
From a third-floor walk-up in Quidi Vidi Village to a high-rise condo in Mount Pearl, our Apartment & Condo Moves marketplace connects you with experienced independent movers who bring the vehicle, crew, moving blankets, dollies, hand trucks, and protective equipment needed for tight spaces and multiple floors. One simple booking process covers downtown walk-ups, elevator buildings, studio apartments, multi-bedroom condos, and intercity moves throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, the rest of Canada, and the United States.
Our independent providers understand St. John's unique layout — navigating narrow staircases in Downtown St. John's and The Battery, coordinating street parking along Water Street and steep historic corridors near Signal Hill National Historic Site, and managing elevator bookings in newer buildings throughout Paradise, Conception Bay South, and Kenmount Terrace. They're familiar with Kenmount Road, Topsail Road, and Newfoundland Drive for efficient routing. Multi-stop moves are fully supported: pick up from a Georgestown apartment, load boxes from a storage unit off Team Gushue Highway, and finish at a new condo in Portugal Cove-St. Philip's — all on one booking.

What makes moving & delivery in St. John's different
St. John's rowhouse stock often features narrow staircases and street parking requires careful coordination during loading.
Winter weather and fog can delay deliveries; many buildings downtown lack dedicated loading zones on steep historic streets.
Apartment buildings in newer suburbs like Paradise and Kenmount Terrace typically require elevator booking 24–48 hours in advance.

What's Included
Why choose VanDeliveryApp for apartment & small moves
Bigger national moving companies refuse small apartment jobs — or quote them like a 4-bedroom house. VanDeliveryApp is built specifically for studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom condos: the right-sized truck, the right-sized crew, and a flat price that does not balloon with hidden minimums.
The right truck for the move (not the biggest one)
A studio runs perfectly in a sprinter van. A two-bedroom fits a 15-foot truck. Big national movers will sell you a 26-foot rig and pass on the higher cost — we right-size every booking so you only pay for what you need.
No moving-day "minimum hour" trap
Most national movers force a 4-hour minimum — even on a one-hour studio move. Our pricing is volume-based, so a true 90-minute job costs 90 minutes, not 4 hours.
Stairs and elevator quirks built into the quote
You declare the floor, elevator access, and any narrow corridors at booking. The system calculates the surcharge transparently up front so the crew never asks for cash on moving day.
Damage-deposit-saving care
Door jambs, hardwood, and elevator walls take the most hits in apartment moves. Crews come prepared with corner protectors and floor runners so your security deposit stays in your pocket — not your landlord's.
When people book apartment & small moves
Real-world scenarios this service is built for — pick the one closest to yours when you book.
1First-apartment move-in
Just moved out of mom and dad's? A sprinter van plus one mover handles a typical 1-bed of new furniture in three hours — usually under $400 all-in.
2Condo upgrade move
Moving up to a bigger condo two buildings over? Most "next-block" condo moves finish in 4–5 hours total, including elevator booking windows.
3Storage unit + apartment combo
Pick up from your 5x10 storage unit, swing by IKEA for the new bedframe, then deliver to your apartment — multi-stop is standard on every move-in.
4Roommate swap
Splitting up a 2-bedroom into two 1-bedrooms? Two crews, two trucks, one booking — we sequence the moves so both apartments are settled by sundown.
