Local Residential Movers in Ottawa
Most of what we do is exactly this: getting an Ottawa family from one home to the next without the day turning into a write-off. A two-person crew and a clean 26-foot truck arrive between the window you picked, walk the home with you, protect the floors and door jambs, and start loading.
What's included
You are quoted an hourly rate with a clearly stated minimum before anything is booked — no surprise fuel surcharge, no stair fee invented on the driveway, no weight re-quote once the truck is loaded. If the job finishes early, you pay for the time we actually used.
- Two, three or four-person crew with a fully equipped truck
- Free use of wardrobe boxes, dollies, straps and moving blankets
- Disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables and modular furniture
- Floor runners, banister padding and door-jamb protection
- Blanket-wrapping and shrink-wrapping for every soft-surface item
- Appliance dollies for fridges, washers and dryers
Pricing
From $150/hr (2 movers + truck)
Your written estimate is confirmed once we review access, parking and inventory — and the invoice matches it. No fuel surcharge, no stair fee, no heavy-item fee.
Best suited for
- Condos & apartments
- 2–5 bedroom houses
- Downsizing
- First-time movers

Give us the date, both addresses and roughly how much there is. A move consultant picks up seven days a week — no forms, no callback queue.

Same conversation
Get your price on the call
We confirm access, stairs, elevators and parking, size the crew, then quote you. Larger homes get a free video or in-home survey and a guaranteed flat price.

Move day, 7am–8pm
We plan and protect
Your crew arrives inside a two-hour window, walks the home with you, lays floor runners, and blanket-wraps every piece before it leaves the room.

Same day
Placed, reassembled, done
Furniture goes where you want it, beds go back together, and boxes land in the right rooms. You sign off only once you have walked the truck and it is empty.

Three floors, no elevator, no drama
We were on the third floor of a walk-up on Churchill with a piano landing that has defeated two previous movers. The crew looked at it, took the railing off, and had the whole apartment loaded in four hours. Final invoice came in under the estimate.

Kanata to Barrhaven in one day
Four bedrooms out of Bridlewood and into Half Moon Bay, done between 8am and 5pm. They wrapped every piece of furniture before it left the house, which I'd never seen a mover actually bother to do. Nothing was scratched.

Bilingue et parfaitement ponctuel
Déménagement d'Aylmer vers le Plateau. L'équipe était bilingue, ponctuelle et très soigneuse avec nos meubles anciens. Le prix final correspondait exactement à l'estimation reçue par courriel.
Common questions
Local Residential Moving FAQ
The questions Ottawa customers ask most often about local residential moving.
Still have a question?
Talk to a real move consultant in Ottawa — Mon–Sat 7am–8pm · Sun 8am–6pm.
(613) 704-7378How long does a 3-bedroom house move take in Ottawa?
Plan on 7 to 9 hours door to door with a three-person crew, assuming the home is fully packed before we arrive and both addresses have reasonable truck access. Stairs at either end, a long carry, or packing still in progress will push that towards 10 or 11 hours.
Do you provide boxes, or should I buy my own?
Dollies, straps, blankets and wardrobe boxes are provided free on move day. Cartons and packing materials can be delivered ahead of time for a fee, or included at no extra charge if you book our packing service.
Will the same crew do the loading and the unloading?
Yes. For every local Ottawa move the crew that loads your home is the crew that unloads it. Nothing is transferred between trucks and nothing is handed off to a subcontractor.
