Delivery of furniture

Kostyra and Dima were fantastic! Not only did they take excellent care in bringing in the furniture without hitting any walls, they also set it up and helped me with the furniture layout.

Would highly recommend Kostyra and Dima to anyone!

I am very pleased with my move and how the 3 movers did such a fine job. They made my move so less stressful. This the 3rd move I have made with Eager Beaver and I would like to thank them for the excellent service provided.

Moving Service

We had the pleasure of having Chris, Alex & Drake as our movers from Spruce Grove to Yellowhead County to our new acreage. These guys were fantastic and super-efficient and quick. Nothing was damaged through the entire move. Very impressive. They did the entire move in 8 hours flat and that included the 1.5-hour drive. We thought our last crew was fast also ( Keegan, Cyril & Nolan) when we moved from our old acreage to Spruce Grove which took 11 hours total, but it was minus 40 degrees out too. These guys were very quick. We have used Eager Beaver 3 times now and they have been always excellent.

Fast & Efficient

These guys certainly lived up to their name Eager Beavers! We expected that wed run out of time and have to load the boxes ourselves. Before I knew it all the boxes and furniture were picked up and loaded. Professional, courteous and they all had a good sense of humour. Well be calling on them again.

Moving company

Busy Beaver Moving crew were punctual, courteous and patient throughout the whole moving process from arrival to departure. They were careful and respectful of what they were moving, taking care to protect the flooring, furniture and fragile items. At the end of the move, no damages were found to anything moved or the walls and floors. We were very impressed with these three men and how careful they were during the move. Their kindness with placing furniture and their ease with following instructions was much appreciated. Because they were so organized, everything went smoothly. We would recommend them to anyone, and will use them again, for another move. Tobi & Marie

Simply the best!

Moving is a huge job and the movers could not be more accommodating and very professional. I have needed their services before and the experience is still the same. I also recommend Eager Beaver to my friends and clients to make their lives a little better, too!

Quoted 3 hrs. Took 7 hrs.!

We had a really basic and simple move. We had packed and moved all the small stuff ourselves and called Eager Beaver to move just the big, heavy stuff- freezer, dining room, bedroom, a loveseat and a couple chairs and small tables. They quoted 2 to 3 hours. It took two lethargic, lazy guys 7 hours! They had excuse after excuse (heavy furniture, stairs, long hallway, wrapping furniture...) And they had to have their hourly smoke break, too! I DO NOT RECOMMEND! AVOID!

Moving Service

My wife and I were moving from our acreage back to Spruce Grove. We were a little worried about moving again, since our last experience with movers back in 2008 was not a pleasant experience with a different company. I personally always look for any contractor that I may need for certain jobs on HomeStars. When I was looking for movers, I saw that Eager Beavers had a high star score, so we decided to have them move us. Well……. What an experience that was. The three gentleman that showed up were Keegan, Cyril & Nolan. These guys were extremely professional and did all the necessary prep to move our belongings. They were very efficient and packed everything with such great care. Nolan even packed my tower speakers in moving material and a custom box cover because I was not using them at our new location at this time.

It was minus 42 degrees Celsius that day which did not help the move, but these guys trudged through it like it was a nice mild spring day. A few of our outdoor items got damaged, but not because of their mishandling, it was just that cold and made it very brittle to move. Not a big deal. The entire move took 11 hours total which is amazing considering it was an hour drive to our acreage from town. We did however get overcharged compared to our quot. It was because they had the bill as four movers when there was only three. Reilly the Sales Manager looked over our contract and he returned the portion of our bill to account for three movers. We were very happy with the way Reilly handled our contract for this move.
We will most definitely be using Eager Beavers again for our next move and will recommend them to all our family and friends. We will request Keegan, Cyril & Nolan again also. They were a professional, caring, and considerate crew. Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Andre

Local move

We used Eager Beaver for our recent home move as they came well recommended. The three movers did a great job. The move went super quick but they took the time to make sure our items were properly protected. They checked in with me often through the move to confirm no items were missed and that things were moved to the right location at the new house. Their pricing was clearly outlined (hourly rate) and the final cost matched up with what they quoted me. Eager Beaver helped our move go as smoothly as possible and kept our items and property protected.

More about Eager Beaver Moving

Since its foundation in 1984, Eager Beaver Moving has been about relationships. After nearly 25 years in the moving and freight business, the company’s founder, Jack Watson saw an opportunity to build a local moving company whose values included quality and pride in ones work above all else. Jack’s experience with large companies like Gimli Transfer, Beaver Storage and Eaton’s helped shape the vision of his future enterprise, where he knew that a personal commitment and a handshake meant more to people than what big corporations could offer. His dream became reality when Eaton’s began selling some of its older fleet. Jack jumped at the chance to break out on his own and called on his friend, the head of Eaton’s asset management, to secure several of the now iconic Ford cab-over trucks to begin his venture.
***
With little more than an ad in the local Yellow Pages and a fiery personality, Jack built his company to a fleet of 6 trucks at its peak, operating as both Eager Beaver Express Moving, and the senior’s friendly Jack Watson the Mover.
***
The seeds of the second generation of Eager Beaver Moving began to sprout long before the first had even grown. Watching his dad manage the transportation department at Beaver Storage in the early 1960’s, it was no surprise when Bill got an early start in the moving business as well. At the tender age of 15, Bill’s first job was building the old wooden freight boxes in the warehouse, but it wasn’t long before he too embraced his entrepreneurial spirit, bought his first truck and hit the road, eventually embarking on dozens of coast-to-coast trips per year.
***
It is not easy to distinguish one’s company from the many movers that crowd the phone books, so naturally when a customer does come calling, Eager Beaver makes it their mission to ensure that the customer wants to tell their family and friends what a great experience they had with us.
