BENEFITS OF HIRING PROFESSIONAL MOVERS VS. DIY MOVING
When planning a move, the decision often comes down to professional movers vs. DIY. While DIY can seem cost-effective, it comes with real risks and hidden challenges.
​
Labour & Equipment
Our crews come prepared with trucks, dollies, padding, ramps, and lifting aids. DIY movers must rent or borrow gear, often without knowing how to use it safely.
Risk & Liability
J & L Moving & Storage is insured. If something is damaged or someone gets hurt, you’re covered. With DIY, you take on the full responsibility—and the risk.
Time & Efficiency
We move quickly and efficiently, using proven systems and trained staff. DIY moves often drag on, requiring multiple trips and more downtime.
Cost Predictability
DIY may look cheaper, but expenses add up: truck rentals, fuel, supplies, and time off work. J & L Moving & Storage offers transparent quotes with no surprises.
In Victoria, throughout Vancouver Island, and the Lower Mainland, J & L Moving & Storage delivers peace of mind and a move done right.
SERVICES PROVIDED BY US

WHY CHOOSE A LOCAL MOVING COMPANY?
Selecting a local moving company in Victoria, BC, offers several operational and logistical advantages, particularly when familiarity with regional neighbourhoods, traffic patterns, and regulations is important.
Local Area Knowledge and Route Planning
Local moving companies are familiar with common building layouts, loading zones, and access points across the city. This knowledge supports efficient scheduling, reduced travel time, and a lower risk of delays due to roadwork or navigation issues.
In-person Assessments
A local mover can conduct in-person site visits and inventory checks to better estimate the scope of the move. This allows for accurate pricing and ensures proper resource allocation in terms of crew size, equipment, and truck capacity.
Flexible Scheduling
Unlike national carriers, local movers may provide more flexible scheduling for residential and office relocations. This can be especially beneficial for clients requiring specific time windows or short-notice bookings.
Supporting the Regional Economy
Hiring a local company also supports employment and economic activity within the Victoria community. J & L Moving & Storage maintains local operations and serves both private residents and commercial clients.
MOVE NOW AND STORE THE REST
We also operate a secure, climate-controlled storage facility for short- and long-term needs. We offer flexible storage unit sizes to fit your specific needs.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Here is what some of our customers are saying about us:
JOANNE V.
I moved on Aug 4, and used the services of J & L. I live on the 16th floor of a condo, so this creates additional challenges. The movers were polite, professional and efficient. They were careful with my possessions and strategically well organized. The cost was very fair, accurate to quote, and office staff pleasant and quick to answer and respond. I would recommend them anytime.
SUZANNE B.
J. Kirby, Derrick and Lucas provided excellent and efficient professional services. Cheerful and no dents, nicks or scratches. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
SCOTT T.
Best moving company in town, John and the men will take care of you very well!!!
