Our History
In 1959 Allen Taylor started a small moving company in Burlington that saw rapid growth in a short period of time. In 2002 Allen decided to retire and sold the business to his sons Rick and Russ. By that time Taylor Moving and Storage had become a Burlington landmark with its trademark Taylor truck perched high on the roof for all to see.

When they purchased the company both Rick and Russ knew the business inside and out, having grown up working alongside their father and the other members of the Taylor team. In fact, Allen wanted to make sure his boys understood every aspect of the business so both Rick and Russ worked as packers, movers, and drivers.

Our Success
Rick and Russ attribute their success to a number of factors; throughout the years Taylor Moving and Storage have evolved and refined their processes to ensure their clients a service that can effectively move them across the street or around the world.

The heart of the Taylor Moving process is their focus on customer service and their dedication to quality. Further to this a company-wide spirit of philanthropy thrives and both national and local charities have been beneficiaries.

However, the main reason they feel the company has been able to succeed despite recessions, unpredictable housing markets and stiff competition is their employees.

“We understand that without our team, Taylor Moving and Storage couldn’t have become what it is today. We hire people from this community and we take care of them. In turn, we have a really loyal and hardworking group, from the front office right through to the drivers, who always go above and beyond for our clients,” said Russ Taylor. “Taylor Moving has always looked after the people who work here. It’s an element of our company that hasn’t changed in 50 years.”

Rick and Russ Taylor are intent on ensuring the company their father started so many years ago continues to succeed.

What is Rick and Russ Taylor’s formula for success? “Provide a high-quality service at a competitive rate and people will choose you time and again,” they explained. “We’ve had relationships with many of our clients over decades. Taylor Moving and Storage is one of the top 5 corporate movers in Canada, and we continue to grow thanks to our loyal clients.”

Local Moving Services
The start of a successful local move is the in-home meeting between our clients and the Taylor Moving Consultant.

Our moving consultant will review your packing requirements, note any special items that may need special handling, any storage needs and will take a complete inventory of the goods you wish to move. From this, we are able to create an accurate moving estimate that not only outlines costs but will be the basis for your moving plan. Items like ensuring the correct amount of people, truck sizes, days needed, and special requirements are noted to ‘Taylorize’ your local move.

Many of our customers choose to do their own packing. Taylor’s Exclusive Box Program is an enormous value-added service our customers enjoy.

On moving day, your Taylor team looks after the rest. Floor runners are laid throughout the house. Items like sofas are plastic wrapped to ensure they are kept clean. Everything we take apart, we put back together. All furniture is placed in the correct room so that it feels like your new home is indeed a home!

Cross-Border Moving
Taylor Moving does more cross-border moves than any mover in Southern Ontario. Indeed, at a time when other companies are leaving this service line, we continue to grow our cross-border service. No other company has as many units dedicated to cross-border moving as Taylor Moving and Storage.

A successful cross-border move starts with professional consultants. Taylor assigns a move coordinator to you to move who is an expert in the cross-border process. As your single point of contact, our coordinators will set up all dates and ensure services like packing, crating, auto haulers and guaranteed transit times are in place on your behalf.

They are also experts in the customs process and will guide you through the process from start to finish, acquiring all the documents and forms to make the clearing of customs a smooth and easy process.

Taylor Moving is the only mover in Ontario that holds its USA Department of Transportation (DOT) licenses directly. This allows us to service your move using our own trucks and crews (no subcontracting to others) resulting in a consistently high level of quality with greatly reduced transit times.

Taylor has been assisting organizations relocating their employees and executives for over 55 years. Over 65% of our revenues are derived from the corporate sector. Corporate moving is what we do, and our client list reads like a Who’s Who in the corporate world.
