"I could not have imagined a more pleasant process for my Dad's move. At every step of the way we were impressed with the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness, patience and competence that SteppingStones provided. There was a blend of professional and personal attention that gave us a sense of care. Financial quotes were reasonable. There were no hidden costs or surprises. 'every interaction is either humanising or dehumanising'. Our experience with SteppingStones was definitely humanising." - Jane F
"I truly appreciate the wonderful job you did for me!" - D Seaman
"How can I ever thank you for saving my sanity! Many thanks for all you did-and it was plenty!!! Ever grateful, Ellie" - Ellie M
"SteppingStones made the transition from my condo to a retirement residence unbelievably easy for me. Prior to my move, they covered the most minute details with ease. Upon entering my new apartment on the evening of the move, what I imagined seeing was unpacked boxes & disarray. To my astonishment all the furniture was in place, pictures on the walls, and every cupboard and closet filled neatly. As I said upon opening the door, 'I'm astounded!' I have been so ever grateful to them ever since." - Jean Hopkins
"SteppingStones is a wizard at this sort of thing and a 'must have' for your next anticipated move. They moved us from a large condo to a seniors residence and we thank them very much!" - Kay & Gord Perry
"What would we have done without SteppingStones! You'd be crazy to do a move without using them to help!" - Grace Ballem
