A team that knows Saint-Basile-le-Grand inside out
Moving to Saint-Basile-le-Grand is no easy task. Residential streets in the Old Village, narrow driveways in some areas, winters that make access to driveways difficult – our team knows these realities because we’ve been working on them for years.
We don’t pretend to be local. Our trucks regularly drive on Route 116, between Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and the rest of the South Shore. When you call us, you’re talking to people who have already moved your neighbor, your colleague, or the family around the corner.
It’s this local knowledge that makes all the difference on the big day. No truck stuck in a narrow entrance. Don’t hesitate when faced with a spiral staircase. We arrive prepared, we leave satisfied.
Our moving services in Saint-Basile-le-Grand
Demenagement Cargo Transport offers five types of services in Saint-Basile-le-Grand: residential moving, commercial moving, piano moving, heavy object handling and long-distance moving.
- Residential moving – Whether you’re moving out of a 3½-bedroom apartment on Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard or a family home in the Grandes-Coulées area, we take care of everything: dismantling, packing, transporting and reassembling. Just open the door.
- Commercial moving – Offices, shops, warehouses. We schedule the move to take place during off-peak hours, so that you can get back to work as quickly as possible. Several companies in the Saint-Basile-le-Grand industrial zone have already placed their trust in us.

Moving to Saint-Basile-le-Grand - The story of Madame La Fontaine
When Madame La Fontaine called us, her first sentence was: “I have a grandfather clock that my mother left me. If it breaks, I’ll never recover. “We realized right away that this move was unlike any other.
She lived in a 3½-room apartment on the 2nd floor without an elevator in Saint-Basile-le-Grand. Solid wood furniture – wardrobe, chest of drawers, dining room table, oak bed – bought to last a lifetime. And in the center of her living room, this grandfather clock inherited from her mother: two meters of walnut, a copper pendulum, a chime that had been striking the hours for decades. His destination: a residence on the 7th floor with elevator, again in Saint-Basile-le-Grand.
Our team of three movers started with the clock. Pendulum removed, weights unhooked, body wrapped in three protective blankets. Two movers descended the narrow staircase in perfect synchronization. Next, the solid wood furniture, one by one, with the necessary rotations in the landings. On arrival, the residence’s elevator had standard dimensions – the wardrobe wouldn’t fit upright. We tilted it at 45 degrees. You either anticipate it, or you miss it. We had anticipated this.
The quote given in advance was clear: $140/hr for a team of 3 movers, plus one hour’s travel time, i.e. $700 for the move, and $250 for specialized handling of the clock. Total: $950 plus taxes – exactly as quoted, with no additional charges.
Four hours after departure, the clock struck noon in his new living room.
