Cactus Moving provides residential moving in Ottawa for houses, townhomes, and condos, with trucks, tools, and trained movers who handle loading, transport, and placement. Our main advantage is pricing clarity: within Ottawa we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges, and you see the full rate breakdown before work begins. For local moves, you can reserve a date without a deposit, which keeps booking simple. Our crews have completed moves across multiple Canadian cities, and we apply that proven coordination, documentation, and protection process to Ottawa homes.
Lock in your preferred moving day early at no cost. We hold your date while you finalize keys, elevator bookings, and other details, so prime weekends and month-end slots do not slip away. Change or confirm later without penalty.






You will know the plan before moving day, including access needs, timing, and protection steps, and we confirm parking, elevators, and loading paths early. On site, we use protective moving pads, tools, and a clear loading order to reduce delays and prevent damage. Communication stays straightforward so you are not chasing updates, and the goal is an efficient move with fewer surprises and fewer extra charges.
We start with a planning call to confirm addresses, target times, access details, and any special items, then we build an inventory and complete early verification for anything that needs extra handling.
Your quote includes crew size, truck plan, hourly rate, estimated hours, included protections, and an arrival window, and within Ottawa we remove common add-ons such as travel time, mileage, and insurance charges so pricing stays transparent and predictable.
If you request packing, we bring materials and pack by room with clear labels, prioritizing fragile items and essentials, then we prepare furniture for transport to reduce handling and breakage risk.
When the moving day comes our crews come on time and fully prepared. We protect floors, doors, railings, and elevators before loading begins (and before unloading begins). All furniture is wrapped in clean moving blankets and handled efficiently even if packing was not included. We load, secure, and safely transport your belongings to a new home.
After unloading, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm placement room by room, re-orient furniture if needed, and stack boxes by label so you are not rearranging everything later.
For local residential moves in Ottawa, payment happens after the job is complete, there is no deposit required to book, and the invoice matches the agreed rates and time.
Once the move is finished, you receive a small cactus gift for your new home as a simple thank you from our company.
If we earned it, a short review helps other Ottawa families choose with confidence, and your feedback helps us keep training and service standards consistent.
Call us or request a quote online, share your home size, access details, and preferred date, then we confirm availability, send a clear quote, and reserve your move without a deposit.

Home moves are billed by the hour, based on crew size and time on site. We confirm the rate, inclusions, and scheduling window before moving day, and within Ottawa we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges.

Yes. We offer flexible scheduling, including night moves, based on crew availability and building requirements. Please contact our office to learn more details how such move can be done.
If you have a firm date, booking earlier gives you more options for start times. If your move is soon, call anyway, we may have last-minute availability.
Overnight residential moving can help in Ottawa when daytime traffic, parking limits, or elevator bookings make scheduling difficult. With quieter streets and fewer interruptions, crews often load and unload more efficiently, and you can keep your daytime free for keys, work, and errands, subject to building requirements and availability.

Strong moving results come from repeatable training, not luck on moving day. Our movers complete structured onboarding and hands-on testing before they work in homes, and ongoing refreshers cover protection methods, lifting technique, truck loading, and customer communication. Because we operate in multiple cities, we keep improving procedures as we learn, then bring that experience into every Ottawa residential move.
