Movers in Durham Region, Ontario

We move families, students and businesses across Durham Region, from the lakeshore suburbs of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa to the small towns and rural roads of the north. Two things shape most Durham moves: roomy family houses and townhouses in the south, and steady growth that keeps adding new subdivisions and first-time addresses.

Moving in Durham Region, from lakeshore suburbs to small towns

About two in three Durham homes are single-detached houses, and most have three bedrooms or more, so the usual job here is a full family house with a basement, a garage and plenty of furniture. That calls for a full crew and a large truck rather than a van. Townhouses are the next most common home, and their stacked floors and narrow stairs need extra hands and careful wrapping on every landing. The housing is fairly new, with nearly two in three homes built after 1980, which often makes for simpler carries, although the older houses in the mix bring tighter halls and steeper stairs. Apartments are a smaller part of the picture, but the region does have condo towers, and each one needs an elevator booking and a spot for the truck.

Highway 401 runs along the lakeshore and Highway 407 crosses the region further north, with connector highways between them, so moves among the southern communities are usually simple highway runs. Beyond that, Durham turns rural, with small towns, country roads and homes set well back from the road, where we check truck access before the move. Timing matters around the post-secondary campuses: Ontario Tech University and Durham College have their main campuses in north Oshawa, and Durham College also has a campus in Whitby, so the start and end of the school year bring a rush of student moves nearby. The region is still growing, and if your new street is in a subdivision too fresh for GPS, send us directions ahead of time.

Our crews work across Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Clarington and Pickering, and out to communities such as Brooklin, Bowmanville, Port Perry, Sunderland and Beaverton. We also move people from Durham into York Region, roughly 38 km away, and into Toronto, roughly 52 km from the centre of the region, as well as east to Northumberland or north toward Peterborough. For long-distance moves out of province, we pack and load at your Durham home and take your belongings through to the new one. Send us both addresses and your preferred date, and we will come back with a clear quote.
