Movers in Ottawa

Ottawa sits on the Ontario-Quebec border, so many moves here cross the river between Ottawa and Gatineau. The city mixes downtown condos, older neighbourhoods and growing suburbs. Forge Movers moves families in Ottawa and between Ottawa and cities across Canada.

Homes we move in Ottawa

• Condos and apartments downtown and along transit lines, with elevator bookings and limited parking.
• Older houses in established neighbourhoods, with narrow stairs and tight doorways.
• Suburban homes with driveways and easy access.

Local practicalities in Ottawa

• Ottawa moves follow Ontario’s rules: a written contract for moving services over $50, and a mover generally cannot charge more than 10% above the estimate unless you agree to extra services. Moves to Gatineau cross into Quebec, where the consumer office recommends a written estimate and says a mover must give you a written contract within 15 days when you hire by phone or online. We put every charge in writing either way.
• Winter conditions can affect moving day, so keep a backup date. See moving in winter.
