7:00 AM - 10:00 PM, 7 days a week
Moving across town sounds simple. And it is, when the movers actually show up on time, know what they’re doing, and don’t disappear when something doesn’t fit in the elevator.
Our residential moving service in Ottawa covers everything from a bachelor apartment in the Glebe to a five-bedroom home out in Kanata. We bring the right size truck, the right equipment, and a crew that works hard from the first box to the last.
We wrap your furniture, protect your floors, and take apart anything that needs to come apart to get through a tight doorway. When we arrive at your new place, everything goes back together exactly where you want it.
No drama. No damage. No nonsense.
What’s included in every Ottawa residential move:
We’ve moved pretty much everything a home contains. Here’s what’s typical in an Ottawa residential moving job:
Ottawa apartments and condos come with their own set of headaches — elevator booking windows, loading dock restrictions, narrow hallways, no parking on the street. A crew that’s never dealt with any of that before is going to slow your whole day down.
We move apartments across Ottawa regularly. We know how elevator bookings work at most buildings downtown and in Westboro. We arrive with the right equipment for tight spaces, and we communicate with your building manager so there are no surprises on move day.
Whether you’re moving out of a studio on Bank Street or a two-bedroom condo in Little Italy, we’ll handle it.
Moving a house is a bigger job than most people plan for. That big sectional that barely fit going in? It’s not going to go easier coming out. The piano your grandmother left you isn’t going to move itself.
We move small homes, big homes, townhouses, semi-detached and fully detached houses all across Ottawa and the surrounding region. Our crews are sized to match the job — a two-bedroom doesn’t get the same crew as a five-bedroom, and your quote reflects that.
We’ve moved families in Kanata, Stittsville, Barrhaven, Gloucester, Orleans, Nepean and all through the Ottawa core. We know the neighbourhoods, the traffic patterns, and what winter moving in this city actually looks like.
Not every move is planned six weeks in advance. Leases end suddenly. Closings get moved up. Situations change.
If you need movers in Ottawa on short notice, call us. We’re not always available same-day — but we’re often available within a few days, and for small moves, sometimes sooner. Tell us what you need to move and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can make it work.
We’re open 7 days a week, 7am to 10pm. That includes weekends, which is when most Ottawa families actually move.
Moving out of Ottawa? Whether you’re heading to Toronto, Kingston, Montreal or anywhere else in Ontario and Quebec, we do long distance residential moves too.
We quote the whole job upfront. Your belongings go in one truck, you get a delivery date, and nothing gets added to the bill on arrival. We’ve moved Ottawa families to Toronto, to Gatineau, to Cornwall, and further.
If you’re moving more than a couple hours away, call us and we’ll walk you through exactly how our long distance service works.
Step 1 – Get your quote
Call us or fill out the form. Tell us your home size, what floors you’re on, and your preferred date. We’ll ask a few questions and send you a clear price. No vague estimates, no calling you back three times.
Step 2 – We confirm everything
A day or two before the move, we confirm your time, your address, and any building access details we need. You don’t have to chase us down.
Step 3 – Moving day
Our crew shows up on time with everything they need. We protect your floors and walls before anything moves. We work fast but careful. When it’s done, your furniture is where you want it and your boxes are in the right rooms
There’s no shortage of moving companies in Ottawa. So why do people keep calling us back, and why do they send their friends and family our way?
A few things come up over and over in the reviews we get:
We actually show up. Sounds like the bare minimum — and it is. But in this industry, it’s not guaranteed. We confirm the day before, we show up on time, and we communicate if anything changes.
We’re careful with your stuff. Everything that can be wrapped, gets wrapped. We’re not in a hurry to the point where we’re banging your couch against the door frame. Moving fast and moving carefully aren’t opposites — we’ve figured out how to do both.
The price you get is the price you pay. We don’t add fuel surcharges or stair fees at the end of the day. The quote we give you is what we charge.
We’re local. OC Movers is an Ottawa-based company. The people moving your stuff are part of this city. That matters.
