Residential Movers in Renfrew, Ontario

A Renfrew house move, by people who live in Renfrew

Renfrew housing comes in distinct generations, and each one moves differently. The red-brick century homes in the older blocks near the Bonnechere have staircases with a turn at the top that decides whether a box spring goes up or not. The post-war and wartime houses have narrow doorways and basements with low headroom. The bungalows off O'Brien Road are straightforward but often have a long carry from the street. The newer builds toward the highway have wide driveways and fresh floors that need protecting.

We know which is which before we arrive, because we have moved all of them. That is the practical difference between a local crew and a company that has never driven the street before quoting it.

The details that catch out-of-town crews

Small things, until they cost you an afternoon:

• The hills down toward the river — icy from November through March, and a real consideration for footing when carrying weight.
• Older laneways built for one modest sedan, where the approach has to be planned rather than improvised.
• Raglan Street parking on a Saturday, and during fair week, when the main street is not where you want to be discovering a problem.
• Rural addresses out toward Horton, Admaston and Castleford, where a soft spring driveway will not take weight and the delivery point is not the front door.

What a residential move includes

Furniture blanket-wrapped, upholstery covered, floors protected through the halls, and everything labelled by the room it is going to rather than what is in it. We disassemble and reassemble beds and tables as part of the job, not as an extra.

Packing and unpacking are available if you want them, in full or just for the kitchen and the fragile things people dread. Boxes and supplies too. If part of the house is not coming with you, we can clear and dispose of it in the same visit — one company, one day, one invoice.

Moving out of Renfrew, or coming home

Renfrew to Ottawa is about 100 km and roughly an hour down the highway, which makes it a comfortable single-day move — load in the morning, unpack in the city that afternoon. It is one of the most common runs in our book, in both directions: families leaving Ottawa prices behind, and seniors moving closer to family in town.

Further afield, we run all of Ontario and out to Quebec. See our long-distance moving pages if your move is a bigger one.
