What does access in Montreal add to the price?

Montreal 1 July is a calendar event. Crews book out. Many plexes have outdoor stairs that ice. Winter is a fee. Older walk-ups downtown and in the Plateau have tight turns and no loading dock. There is no federal mover licence. What you can check is insurance, a name that matches the van, and provincial rules that apply to the truck. GST/HST or QST belongs on the invoice. Interprovincial work to Toronto or Ottawa adds a second set of building rules. If the quote is cash-only and the crew is a different company than the website, stop.

A winding outdoor stair in January, with a sofa that will not turn, is how a cheap hourly quote becomes overtime and a second trip.
