Movers in Rainy River, Ontario

Zero Hour Moving serves the town of Rainy River in northwestern Ontario, where Highway 11 ends at the border bridge to Baudette. Many residents live alone, a quarter of households rent and homes are older, so moves here are often small-unit or downsizing jobs, with long distances to the nearest large centre.

Rainy River movers at the Minnesota border

About six in seven homes in Rainy River are detached houses, and about one in eight are apartments. A quarter of households rent, and four in ten are one person living alone, so small moves with a van or a small crew are common alongside house moves. Nearly half the homes were built before 1961 and over three in four before 1981, so narrow stairs, low ceilings and small rooms are normal. Condominiums do not exist here.

The town sits on the Rainy River at the northwestern end of Highway 11, which is called Atwood Avenue as it passes through town, and a bridge links it to Baudette, Minnesota. About a third of residents are 65 or older, so downsizing and estate moves are a regular part of the work. Northwestern winters can slow longer hauls, so we ask you to clear steps and driveways and keep some flexibility in the schedule.
