This was my first big move and I was nervous, but Zero Hour Moving made it painless. Booking was quick, the crew showed up on time, and nothing was scratched. Five stars from me!

How it works
How house moving works in Oshawa
-
01
Free quote and inventory
Tell us the home size, addresses, moving date and any specialty items. For larger homes we do a 15-minute video walkthrough so the estimate is accurate.
-
02
Confirm crew, truck and time
You receive a written quote with the crew size, truck, arrival window and hourly or fixed price. A small deposit locks in the date.
-
03
Optional packing day
If you booked packing, our packers arrive the day before with boxes, paper and wardrobe cartons and pack the whole home in a day.
-
04
Moving day: protect and load
The crew lays floor runners, wraps furniture, disassembles beds and tables and loads the truck in a planned sequence so nothing shifts.
-
05
Deliver, place and rebuild
At the new house everything is unloaded to the right rooms, furniture is reassembled and appliances positioned. You walk through with the lead mover before we leave.
Pricing
What affects the cost of house moving in Oshawa
We do not publish a one-size-fits-all rate because no two moves are the same. Your quote is built from the size of the job, the access at both ends, the services you add and the date. It is free, written and fixed once the details are confirmed, so the price on the quote is the price on the invoice.
- VolumeMore rooms and more furniture mean more crew hours or truck space.
- AccessStairs, long carries, elevator waits and street parking add time.
- DateMonth-end, weekends and July to September are peak. Mid-month weekdays are cheaper.
- PackingProfessional packing adds cost but reduces moving-day hours and damage risk.
- Specialty itemsPianos, safes, hot tubs and pool tables need extra crew and equipment.
- DistanceLocal moves include a travel fee. Long-distance moves are priced by kilometres and cubic feet.
Good to know
How To Prepare For Moving Day
- Book elevators and parking with both buildings or municipalities a week ahead.
- Label every box with the destination room and a number, and keep an inventory list.
- Pack a first-night bag: bedding, toiletries, chargers, medication, kettle and snacks.
- Every job is quoted individually and in writing, based on the size of the move, the access at both ends and the services you choose. Quotes are free and there are no hidden fees.
- Disconnect washers, dryers and gas appliances, or ask us to arrange it.
- Photograph the back of your TV and electronics before unplugging cables.
- Keep valuables, passports, cash and jewellery with you, not in the truck.
- Clear walkways, driveways and stairs, and shovel or salt in winter.

FAQs
Questions about house movers in Oshawa
Straight answers about how this service works in Oshawa, what is included and how it is priced.
Are your house movers in Oshawa insured?
Yes. Zero Hour Moving is a fully insured moving company. Standard liability coverage is included with every household move, and additional replacement-value protection can be arranged before moving day.
How far in advance should I book house movers in Oshawa?
For a local move we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead. Weekends, month-end and summer dates in Oshawa fill up fastest, so book early if your date is fixed.
Do you provide packing materials?
Yes. Boxes, wardrobe cartons, dish packs, bubble wrap and mattress covers can all be supplied with your move, or you can add our full packing service and let the crew do everything.
Will you disassemble and reassemble my furniture?
Absolutely. Beds, dining tables, wardrobes and desks are taken apart, wrapped and rebuilt in your new Oshawa home at no extra charge for standard items.
How is a house move in Oshawa priced?
Long-distance moves out of Oshawa are quoted as a flat rate after a short inventory. Every quote is free and there are no hidden fees.
Can I park on the street on moving day in Oshawa?
Usually during the day, within the posted time limit. From December until the start of April, on-street parking is banned overnight, and it is not allowed at all while plows and salters are working. The City's free occasional-use permit can exempt a vehicle from the time limit and the winter overnight ban on a limited number of dates each year. Check the City of Oshawa website for current rules.
