Movers in Russell, Ontario

Zero Hour Moving helps families settle into Russell Township, mostly in and around Embrun and the village of Russell, and helps others move on to Ottawa or further afield. The township has grown fast, with plenty of new homes and newcomers from across Ontario and beyond, so many of our jobs here are full-house moves into recently built subdivisions.

Russell is part of United Counties of Prescott and Russell. Our crews move people across the whole region.

Embrun and Russell movers for growing families near Ottawa

Russell Township is overwhelmingly a place of detached houses, about four in five homes, and most were built with families in mind, so expect a full-house move with a crew and truck to match. Building has been busy, with more than a quarter of homes counted as recent builds, so many moves land in newer subdivisions where the main concerns are long staircases and fresh finishes rather than cramped older layouts. Genuinely old homes are relatively few here. Low-rise apartments and a modest rental market add a share of smaller moves, while condos are uncommon, so most of our customers are owners buying or selling on a set date.

Russell sits roughly 32 km south-east of Ottawa, and moves between the city and the township make up a big part of our work here. The township is largely rural, with two main communities, Embrun and Russell, and smaller places such as Forget, Pana, Felton and North Russell spread across the countryside around the Castor River. Postal names can be confusing: Canada Post folds Brisson and Forget into Embrun and treats Felton, North Russell and Pana as Russell, while Marionville straddles the line with North Dundas and Ottawa. Give us the full civic address and a nearby landmark, and if your street is newly built, check that it is open to trucks before moving day.

Our crews cover the whole township, from Embrun and Russell to Forget, Marionville, Pana and North Russell, and we travel regularly to Casselman, roughly 22 km away, as well as North Dundas and Clarence-Rockland. Newcomers here come from all over Ontario, plus a noticeable share from other provinces, so long-distance moves run in both directions and our team handles the whole trip. Share your closing date, your addresses and a list of larger items, and we will send you a quote.

At a glance

Moving in Russell at a glance

What the local housing and moving patterns mean for your move, in plain terms.

HomesMostly detached houses

About 4 in 5 homes in Russell are single-detached houses. Most moves here are full-house moves with basements, garages and sheds, so we plan for a larger truck and a crew of three.

OwnersMostly homeowners

About 6 in 7 households own their home. Most moves are planned around closing dates, and short-term storage helps when the dates do not line up.

Home ageLots of newer homes

About 3 in 10 homes were built between 2011 and 2021. New subdivisions can have unfinished driveways and changing street layouts, so we confirm access before the truck arrives.

Moving activityAn active moving market

About 2 in 5 residents lived at a different address five years earlier. Weekend and month-end dates fill up first, so reserve your date as soon as it is firm.

Local know-how

How our services work in Russell

House Movers Russell

Four in five homes in Russell Township are detached and most have three or more bedrooms, so house moves here are usually full loads. We plan for basements, garages and children's rooms and send a crew that matches the job.

Furniture Movers Russell

New homes in Embrun and Russell come with fresh drywall and finished floors that mark easily. We use floor runners, door-frame protection and furniture pads so your furniture and your new home both arrive in good shape.

Office Movers Russell

Small businesses in Embrun and Russell, and home offices across the township, can move on a schedule that keeps clients served. We pack and protect computers and files, label everything and set up desks to your floor plan.

Inter Provincial Movers Russell

Moves between Russell Township and other provinces run both ways, and a noticeable share of residents arrived from outside Ontario recently. Our long-distance crews handle the inventory, loading and drive, with updates throughout.

Piano Movers Russell

From a basement rec room in a new Embrun home to a living room in an older village house, every piano needs a plan. We measure stairs and doorways, secure the piano on a skid board and lay floor protection along the route.

Man With A Van Russell

For a one-bedroom apartment in the village or a handful of furniture bound for an Ottawa condo, we can send a van with a couple of movers instead of a full truck. It suits single renters and first-time movers in the township.

Cleaning Services Russell

Selling a house or leaving a rental in Russell or Embrun? Our cleaners take care of kitchens, bathrooms and floors so the handover is smooth, and a move-in clean helps if you are taking over a resale home.

Single Item Movers Russell

Bought a dining table in Ottawa or a dresser from a neighbour in Embrun? We collect single items, protect them on the road and carry them into your home, upstairs or down.

Last Minute Movers Russell

New-home closing dates can shift in a township growing this fast. If your date moves up, reach out and we will try to fit your Russell Township move into the schedule.

Storage Services Russell

Waiting for a new build in Embrun or Russell to be ready? Our storage service bridges the gap between selling your old place and moving into the new one, with every item wrapped and inventoried.

Specialty Movers Russell

Rural properties around Russell can hold safes, workshop equipment, hot tubs and large freezers. We look at the weight and the route out, bring the right gear and extra hands, and move them without damage.

Pool Table Movers Russell

Moving a pool table into a new basement in Embrun or out of one in Russell? Our crew takes it apart, protects the slate, moves the pieces and reassembles and levels the table at the other end.

Condo Movers Russell

Condos are uncommon in Russell Township, about one home in twenty, so most condo moves we handle here start or end in Ottawa. We book elevators and loading areas and follow building rules at both ends.

Packing & Unpacking Services Russell

Packing a busy family house is a bigger job than most people expect. Our packers can do it all or just the kitchen and fragile items, labelling every box by room for an orderly unpack.

Local moving tips for Russell

Postal names versus placesCanada Post lists Forget and Brisson under Embrun, and Pana, Felton and North Russell under Russell. Give us the civic address plus the community name so the crew heads to the right place.
Confirm new-build accessMore than a quarter of homes here are recent builds. If you are buying new, confirm your closing date, street access and any builder site rules before booking the truck.
Ottawa building bookingsMoving between Russell and an Ottawa apartment or condo? Reserve the building's elevator and loading area early, because that booking usually sets the start of the whole move.
Low-rise apartment accessAbout one in ten homes is in a low-rise apartment building. Ask your landlord about elevator access and truck parking before moving day so the crew can plan the carry.

FAQs

Questions about moving in Russell

Straight answers about booking, pricing and what happens on moving day in Russell.

Can you move us from Ottawa to Embrun or Russell?

Yes. Ottawa is roughly 32 km from the township, and moves between the city and Embrun, Russell or the smaller communities are a regular job for us. We handle elevator bookings and parking at your Ottawa address and organise the drop-off at your new place, including any new-build site rules.

My mailing address says Russell but I live in Pana. Will the crew find me?

Yes, as long as we have the full civic address. Canada Post groups Pana, Felton and North Russell under Russell, and Forget and Brisson under Embrun, so mailing names can differ from the local community name. Give us the civic number, the road and a landmark, and we will plan the route.

Do you move people into new subdivisions in the township?

Yes. More than a quarter of homes in Russell Township are recent builds, and new subdivisions account for a lot of our work in the township. Send your closing date and builder address, mention any site access rules, and we will plan the delivery and protect your new floors and walls.

How much do movers cost in Russell?

Local moves in Russell are billed by the hour for the crew and truck plus a flat travel fee. The total depends on the size of your home, the access at both ends, the date and any packing or specialty items. Long-distance moves are quoted as a fixed price. Every quote is free and written.

Can you move me from Russell to another province?

Yes. We run scheduled long-distance routes from Ontario to British Columbia, Alberta, the Prairies, Quebec and the Maritimes. Moves from Russell are quoted as a fixed price with a confirmed delivery window.

Do you offer packing and storage in Russell?

Yes. Professional packing with all materials included, and secure storage with pickup and redelivery, can be added to any move in Russell.

Are your Russell movers insured?

Yes. Every move includes basic liability coverage, and full replacement-value protection can be added. We send certificates of insurance to condo and apartment buildings on request.
