Movers in Greater Sudbury, Ontario

Zero Hour Moving helps households and businesses move within Greater Sudbury and between Sudbury and the rest of Canada. This is the largest city in Ontario by area, with an urban core ringed by former towns and hundreds of lakes, so our work here mixes apartment moves near downtown with full-house moves in the outlying communities, all planned around long, snowy winters.

Movers in Greater Sudbury, from downtown to Valley East and Lively

Housing in Greater Sudbury is more varied than people expect. About three in five homes are single-detached houses, usually with basements, garages and several bedrooms, and those moves call for a bigger truck and a full crew. Apartments are common too, many of them in low-rise walk-ups without elevators, and roughly one household in three rents, so lease-end moves and smaller units are a regular part of our work. Much of the city's housing went up before the 1980s, which tends to mean tighter staircases, older doorways and basement rooms that need careful planning. Condos are uncommon, so building rules usually come from a landlord or property manager rather than a condo board, and the many people living on their own often need only a compact truck.

Weather shapes almost every move here. Snow can cover the ground for close to half the year, so we plan for icy steps and slippery driveways and lay runners to keep slush off your floors. The City bans overnight parking on its roads and laneways from December through March, and vehicles that get in the way of snow clearing can be towed, so sort out where cars and the truck will go before an early start. Communities are scattered among rocky hills and lakes, some a fair drive from downtown, and Highway 17 runs past Lively. If you are clearing out before a move, the City picks up furniture and appliances at the curb when you book through 311 or its Waste Wise tool.

Our crews serve the whole city: the Sudbury core, the former towns of Valley East, Rayside-Balfour, Nickel Centre, Walden, Onaping Falls and Capreol, and places such as Lively, Coniston, Copper Cliff, Falconbridge and Wanup. We also move households to nearby Markstay-Warren, Espanola, French River and Killarney. Because Sudbury is the main hub for jobs, health care and education in northeastern Ontario, people relocate here from across the province and beyond, and we handle those long-distance moves in both directions. Barrie is roughly 268 km away and Toronto roughly 351 km. Tell us your dates and how big your home is, and we will prepare a quote.
