I recently used Eager Beaver Moving Company for my move, and I cannot recommend them enough! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with my belongings.

The team arrived right on time and immediately got to work. Keegan, Micky, James, and Bodan were absolutely fantastic—they handled everything with care, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made sure nothing was damaged. They worked quickly but never rushed, taking just the right amount of time to ensure everything was done perfectly.

Their communication skills were top-notch, and they made the entire moving process stress-free. I felt confident knowing my belongings were in such capable hands.

If you’re looking for a moving company that is reliable, professional, and truly cares about their customers, Eager Beaver is the way to go. Thank you, Keegan, Micky, James, and Bodan, for making my move such a smooth experience! Five stars all around!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Nelson from Eager Beaver for a long time. I can attest that he has a friendly and professional character and can always be relied on. He has personally helped me move on multiple occasions and always makes sure to take care of the belongings as if they are his own

We had an amazing experience with Eager Beaver Moving Company! Nathan, Roman, and Nick were our crew, and they did a fantastic job moving our big, awkward, and heavy furniture with care and efficiency.

Booking their services was a breeze—I requested a quote online and received a call from their office the next day. The staff was friendly, easy to work with, and answered all my questions thoroughly, making the process smooth from the start.

On moving day, the crew arrived right on time at 8:30 AM (within the 8:30-9:00 AM window) and got to work immediately. They worked steadily and efficiently, carefully handling all our belongings. They took extra care to protect delicate items like our TV, sit-stand desk, and coffee table. Picking up everything from our old place was quick and seamless—even when we added more items than originally quoted, they accommodated them without hesitation.

They were also mindful of our home, laying down protective carpets to keep dirt and snow out. One of the most impressive moments was when they figured out how to move a solid wood, 6-ft-tall bookshelf up to our second floor—a tricky challenge they solved within minutes!

Nathan, Roman, and Nick were incredibly polite and friendly, introducing themselves individually when they arrived. Throughout the move, they regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was placed correctly and that we were happy with their service.

Not only did they complete the move under the quoted price, but we also found the pricing to be very fair for the level of service provided. This was our first time hiring movers, and it was an excellent experience—we’ll definitely keep Eager Beaver Moving Company in mind for future moves and happily recommend them to family and friends!

Our relationship with Eager Beaver started almost a year ago with a referral from friends. The office staff were helpful, efficient and responsive to our changing needs and timelines. We were downsizing from a large rural property to a smaller older home in the city.

The first move was in September 2024 - the pod arrived and Eric, Dmytro and Bailey basically took over the scene and within a matter of hours we were closing the door and locking the pod. The pod was sent to Eager Beaver's secure storage yard. Even my piano was gently and expertly moved, and stored in a heated unit while we spent the next 5 months renovating our 'older' city house.

Then at the end of February 2025, the truck rolled up and out came all of our belongings - again unloaded efficiently in a matter of hours and in perfect condition. This time the team was Allan, Roman and Mike.

I can't say enough about the calm, responsive and highly personable teams that we worked with on the move out and on the move back in. The care and attention to every item was remarkable i.e.: every piece of furniture was wrapped in a moving blanket. Brandt and Reilly in the office were only a phone call away, the digital platform used to video-estimate and manage documents was very user friendly, the estimate and final costs were accurate and there was no damage to any of our newly painted walls, doors, etc. How they managed to get some of the larger items down our tiny staircase I'll never know!!

Bottom line - I would highly recommend Eager Beaver for your next move!!

Eager Beaver Moving lived up to the glowing recommendations I had received. From the discussion about a quote to final delivery they asked the right questions, provided pre-move information, and communicated clearly . The moving crew was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They protected the floors and the items being moved. All this and maneuvering through snow storm traffic. Many thanks.

My mother had a major move out of her home followed by a clear-out of remaining items for disposal and donation. Both moves were swift, professional, and painless for us. The moving crews on both occasions were pleasant, efficient, and careful and the people doing the booking and estimating were also quick, pleasant, and efficient. Highly recommend!

Great, easy move today. The crew of Kostya, Dima and Bogdan arrived on time and they did a great job. They came well prepared with lots of small wheeled dollies that made moving the furniture to the elevator/moving truck and then into my garage really easy. Very satisfied and highly recommend them and Eager Beaver Moving & Storage.

I have used many movers over the years and have had issues with every single one of them - but not with Eager Beaver. We had such a great experience with Eager Beaver Moving! Thanks to Kostya, Dima and Artem for doing such a great job! They were quick, efficient, professional and obviously knew how to pack a truck. I would definitely hire them again!!

I used eager beaver to move from a basement unit to an apartment in Edmonton in January and they made it super smooth with no damage to the walls or furniture. The entire process was really easy and the actual move in was super fast! Thank you to Roman Jay and Tony and also the moving estimator Brant who followed up on my emails very quickly! It was a little expensive but I’m glad I went with them.

As always outstanding service. Over decades Eager Beaver (the name fully describes this family owned businesses attitude to customer care) using there services has always been above and beyond my expectations. To put it another way, always top notch. But most importantly, we don’t live in a perfect world and EB is always there to resolve issues that develop during a move!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep up the good work Mr Watson (family name—they have been at it for 3 generations).

They provided a reasonable quote so we went with them. They showed up on time, all of the crew were professional, courteous and friendly. We had a brief conversation about the logistics and then they went to work. They packed everything nicely moved to the offloading location and had the job finished an hour before scheduled. We are very, very happy with the move. We would definitely recommend and use them again.

I would highly recommend Eager Beaver moving company!! The service was excellent from the initial contact, and continued all the way through the process. Everyone I spoke to on the phone was professional and friendly, as well as the hard-working movers on the day of the move (especially on a -30C cold winter day)!
An extra thank you to the three gentlemen who moved the contents of my home: Keegan, Mickey & John (hopefully the spelling is correct!)!! They were all very professional, efficient and kind!
The price was very reasonable and very close to the quoted price. I would definitely hire the Eager Beaver Moving company again!! Thanks all!! :)

Kostya and Dima were exceptional. They were excellent communicators, analyzed and managed a situation where items were moved both in, and out, and worked openly with client. Great care was taken with items and environment. Efficient, effective, and highly competent.
I’ve worked with Eager Beaver before, and will do so again.

We got a referral from work friends and let me say Eager Beaver does not disappoint. They were very friendly and always professional. The attention to small details such as keeping the truck swept and cleaned at all times goes along way in my book. Absolutely stress FREE experience! Thankyou again Eager Beaver!!

We are a big family with a lot of stuff to move. It's a one day load and one day unload to get it all done. Kostya and Artem brought a second truck to move our beds (6 of them) so that we would have a place to sleep! They were amazing! They were efficient and friendly. Their exceptional service went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them!
