Movers in Matachewan, Ontario

Zero Hour Moving serves Matachewan, a very small township in Timiskaming District at the end of Highway 66. Homes are older and nearly all single houses, and the closest towns are far away. Moves here are about long distances, northern weather and clear communication about access.

Matachewan movers at the end of Highway 66

Matachewan is tiny, with fewer than 300 residents, and nearly all of its homes are single houses. All of them were built before 1981 and more than four in ten before 1961, so older stairs, small rooms and basements are the norm. Households are small, with a third living alone, and about one in ten rent. Condominiums do not exist, so most moves are straightforward house jobs, though a rural lot may add a long driveway or a gravel road.

Highway 66 runs to Matachewan and stops there, close to the Montreal River, with Highway 65 also in the area, so the township is not on a through route. That means every trip is a deliberate one, and delivery dates need a buffer for northern winters. Tell us the road, driveway and any seasonal limits when you book. Clear your driveway before the crew arrives.

Our crews serve Matachewan and the surrounding area. Kirkland Lake is roughly 49 km away, James is roughly 40 km and Englehart roughly 62 km. Greater Sudbury, the nearest large centre, is roughly 161 km, Ottawa roughly 474 km and Toronto roughly 493 km. Many moves out of Matachewan are long hauls or out of province. Send us your address, the size of your home and your preferred timing when you request a quote.

At a glance

Moving in Matachewan at a glance

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

HomesMostly detached houses

Almost all homes in Matachewan 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 agePlenty of older homes

Almost all homes were built before 1981. Older homes often have narrower stairs and doorways, so we plan disassembly and wall protection before moving day.

Moving activityA settled community

Only about 1 in 4 residents moved in the five years before the census. Most moves here are planned well ahead, which makes it easy to lock in the date you want.

DownsizingMany downsizing moves

About 1 in 4 residents are 65 or older. We help with downsizing, moves into seniors' residences and storage for items family members will collect later.

Local know-how

How our services work in Matachewan

House Movers Matachewan

Matachewan homes are nearly all older single houses, so house moves involve steep stairs, small rooms and possibly a gravel driveway. We plan the crew and truck once we know the access.

Furniture Movers Matachewan

Older homes mean narrow stairwells and small bedrooms. We wrap, pad and disassemble beds, dressers and sofas so they pass through safely, even over a snowy walkway.

Office Movers Matachewan

Small offices and local businesses in Matachewan can be relocated with little downtime. We label desks and equipment, move them carefully and work around your business schedule.

Inter Provincial Movers Matachewan

Out-of-province moves from Matachewan are long hauls, with Ottawa roughly 474 km away and Toronto roughly 493 km. We plan the load and route for the distance and winter conditions.

Piano Movers Matachewan

Every home here predates 1981, so a piano may sit past a tight hall or beside steep steps. We measure the route in advance, use a skid and trained hands, and protect the instrument from cold.

Man With A Van Matachewan

A van and a mover suit a small load, a few boxes or a single room. It is practical when a driveway is too tight or soft for a full-size truck.

Cleaning Services Matachewan

Move-out cleaning helps when a home or rental is being handed over. We cover kitchens, bathrooms and floors so inspection goes smoothly and the next occupant can move in.

Single Item Movers Matachewan

A freezer, a hutch or a snowmobile trailer can be moved on its own without a full crew. Tell us about steps and door widths so we bring the right equipment.

Last Minute Movers Matachewan

A short-notice move to or from the end of Highway 66 takes extra thought, so call with the address and what is moving, and we will say frankly what can be arranged around winter roads.

Storage Services Matachewan

Storage helps when a sale closes before the next home is ready, or when you are relocating a long distance. Furniture can wait out the gap in storage and travel on to the new address when you give the word.

Specialty Movers Matachewan

Gun safes, boats, snowmobiles and heavy shop equipment are common in northern homes. Snow, steps and weight all change what we bring, so give us a short description of the item and the path out.

Pool Table Movers Matachewan

Houses with basements sometimes hold pool tables. The slate leaves the basement wrapped and piece by piece, and the table is levelled once it is rebuilt at the new address.

Condo Movers Matachewan

Matachewan's homes are single houses, so condo boards, elevators and shared hallways never come up. Any condo at your destination will have elevator and loading rules, so check those first.

Packing & Unpacking Services Matachewan

Every trip out of Matachewan is a long one, and loosely packed boxes take a beating on the way. Our packers wrap fragile items and pack whole rooms carefully so everything arrives in good shape.
