Get Started Home Services helping a senior and their family move in North Vancouver, BC

A seniors moving team North Vancouver families rely on

Many of the seniors we help on the North Shore have spent decades in the same home — a family house in Lynn Valley or Upper Lonsdale, a home near Edgemont Village, a split-level on a mountainside street. Leaving a home like that is about far more than boxes. That’s why we keep everything in-house: the same caring team you meet at the consultation is the team that sorts, packs, moves, and sets up the new home.

We serve both the City and District of North Vancouver, and we regularly help families move a parent into independent living, assisted living, and long-term care communities. Downsizing to a condo in Lower or Central Lonsdale instead? We’ll plan around your building’s strata rules and elevator booking — and if the move is still a ways off, our downsizing and estate transition services can help you get started at your own pace.

What’s included in a North Vancouver senior move

A full transition service, tailored to your situation, timeline, and what feels manageable.

Downsizing Decisions

We help sort what stays and what goes — room by room, at your pace, with a clear plan for every item.

Full Clear-Out

Items not coming along can be sold, donated to local charities, or responsibly disposed of — we handle all of it.

Packing & Protection

Careful packing for fragile items, artwork, photos, and keepsakes.

Move Day Coordination

Protection, loading, transport across North Vancouver, and placing items where they belong.

Unpack & Set Up

Full setup so the new home feels lived-in from day one — beds made, kitchen ready, artwork hung.

Family Alignment

Clear updates so family members near and far stay informed — including out-of-town family.

Moving in North Vancouver comes with its own logistics

The North Shore’s slopes are part of its charm — and part of what makes moving here different. We plan for it.

Mountainside homes

Steep driveways, multi-level splits, and stairs to the front door are everyday things here. We stage the move so slopes and stairs are handled carefully.

Lonsdale towers

Lower and Central Lonsdale high-rises require elevator bookings, loading bays, and strata rules — we arrange it all ahead of time.

Established neighbourhoods

Lynn Valley, Edgemont, and Upper Lonsdale homes often hold decades of belongings. We sort, clear out, and pack at your pace.

Donation & consignment runs

Items that aren’t coming along go where they should — we handle donation drop-offs and disposal runs as part of the move.

P

"Preparing our parents' home of nearly 40 years for sale was an enormous job. The Get Started team made it possible: from auction listing through donation hauling to cleaning, their crew was professional, responsive, and super-efficient. Can't recommend them highly enough."

"Simply put, this is an exceptionally professional group of kind, compassionate individuals that make the estate process a breeze! Well organized, well managed and everything is done to the highest quality! I would highly recommend this company many times over to people needing their services."

S

Sarah Gatiss-Brown

"Fantastic company. So kind and helpful - they helped my parents move and they did such a great job and helped them so much after the move too. Highly recommend!"

C

Carolyn Morrison

"Deciding to downsize and move was very difficult for me. Garrett, Dawn and the guys were very efficient, helpful and supportive. The auction pickup day was well organized and it was fun! Thank you, Get Started Home Services!"

R

Rock Volume

"This was a move to empty my mother's two-bedroom apartment including 30 paintings, which required packing, reorganizing and refilling a storage unit, donating several items to charity and relocating several large furniture items to two different locations. We organized the move over 2 days and it went without a hitch. The team doing the work was fantastic and very efficient. Plus they were friendly and amusing to chat with. The owner of the company who met me and initially gave us an estimate was also very professional and followed up promptly on anything we discussed. The customer service was fantastic. I highly recommend this company and I wish them every success in the future."

L

Lara Smith

"I found Get Started Home Services when I was looking for help with an estate property that needed to be prepared for sale. Garrett, Dawn and their team were incredible to work with. They were very responsible, reliable, professional and economical. I could count on them to follow through and keep everything on schedule. The level of quality they provided was outstanding. They exceeded my expectations, I have already recommended their services to many people and business associates. You can't go wrong with Get Started Home Services. Don't hesitate to ask for their assistance with anything that comes to mind. They seem to do it all!"

P

Paula D.

"I had to move my mother from her independent living suite to a new long-term care home, where she was able to take some of her own furniture. Garrett and Nick of Get Started Home Services were fabulous! They were exceptionally polite, personable, and professional. They even let my 4-year-old grandson Theo get involved in wrapping items! They moved my mom's living-room furniture into her new sitting room, making sure that everything fit. They then made a stop at a goodwill shop with excess furniture. I highly recommend Get Started Home Services and would gladly hire them again."

T

Thomas Sherwood

"The most friendly and personal movers I have ever dealt with. They helped move my elder father into his care home last year and we just used them to move into our new home. I will be recommending all family and friends to these guys! Thank you so much."

T

Miss Tina

"The very best experience I have ever had! I would highly recommend this wonderful team for any move — seniors, families, single moms, for everyone!! I have had such an awesome experience that I can't stress it enough that it was the best move I have ever had. And you don't want to know how many moves I've had over the years! Run don't walk to use this team for your next move!!"

L

Lee Ann F.

"Fantastic family owned company! So fast yet meticulous at packing, organizing and moving. I have dealt with many moving companies over the years and this was by far the greatest experience yet. The belongings were packed with great care and moved with no damage to the items or the place. Warm and friendly also. I will definitely use this company in the future for any of the wide range of services they offer that I may need."

T

Tammy Poirer

"Get Started Home Services was a lifesaver for me. We had to move my dad into a care facility and then clear out 18+ years' worth of “stuff”, then downsize me from a large home to a condo. Dawn, Garrett and their team were absolutely amazing throughout all of it. From sorting & clearing out an overpacked garage, to decluttering and downsizing my own home, to the move and everything in between. Their patience and professionalism are second to none. I would recommend them (and already have) to anyone needing service for decluttering, organizing, or moving."

North Vancouver seniors moving FAQs

Do you serve all of North Vancouver?

Yes. We help seniors and families move throughout the City and District of North Vancouver — Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale, Upper Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Edgemont, Capilano, Pemberton Heights, and more — as well as the rest of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Do you serve both the City and the District of North Vancouver?

Yes — both, from Lower Lonsdale to Deep Cove. Wherever your family is moving from or to, the same in-house team handles the whole transition.

Can you move my parent into a seniors’ community in North Vancouver?

Absolutely. We regularly help families move a parent into independent living, assisted living, and long-term care communities, and we are familiar with the move-in procedures, loading areas, and elevator scheduling these residences use.

Do you handle the downsizing and clear-out too?

Yes. We sort room by room with you, then sell, donate, or responsibly dispose of whatever is not coming along — and we can get the old home clean and ready for sale afterward.

We don’t live in North Vancouver — can you manage our parent’s move for us?

Yes, this is one of the most common situations we help with. Many of our clients’ adult children live in another city or province. We keep you informed at every step, from the first consultation through to photos of the finished new home.

How much does a senior move in North Vancouver cost?

It depends on the size of the home, how much downsizing is involved, and which services you need. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation and a clear written estimate so you know what to expect before anything begins.

Are you a moving company or a coordinator?

We are a full-service seniors moving company — our own in-house team handles everything from planning to the physical move to setup. We do not subcontract your move to an outside crew.
