Movers in Frontenac Islands, Ontario

Zero Hour Moving serves the Frontenac Islands, where every move involves a ferry. Wolfe Island, Howe Island and Simcoe Island have year-round residents, and Kingston is only a short distance across the water. Nearly every home is a detached house, so the main planning question is how the truck gets on and off the island.

Frontenac Islands is part of Frontenac County. Our crews move people across the whole region.

Frontenac Islands movers: Wolfe Island, Howe Island and ferry moves

Nearly every home in the Frontenac Islands, about 98 per cent, is a detached house, and most have three or more bedrooms. Very few households rent, and condominiums do not exist. More than a third of residents are 65 or older, so downsizing and retirement moves are common, often with packing and storage. About 28 per cent of homes date from before 1961, so older farmhouses with steep stairs mix with newer builds.

Marine ferry service gives vehicles year-round access to the three main islands, either on a regular schedule or on demand, so every move is planned around the ferry. Truck size and crossing arrangements matter, so tell us your address and dates early. Other islands can be reached only by private boat and are mostly empty in winter when ice makes boat access difficult. Wolfe Island has the one concentrated village, Marysville, while most other homes are spread along the shoreline or on interior farm roads.
