Movers in Lanark County, Ontario

Our crews move households throughout Lanark County, from Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place to Perth, the county seat, and the Canadian Shield country to the north. The county is growing fast, with about one home in six built since 2011, and Ottawa sits roughly 60 km away, so we plan plenty of moves between the city and the county's newer neighbourhoods.

Lanark County moving help, from Carleton Place to Perth

Lanark's housing has two sides. About a quarter of homes date from before 1961, and those houses bring narrow stairs, worn floors and tight doorways that call for padding and patience. At the same time, the county has added a lot of new homes recently, so many moves end in a brand-new house, where we lay floor runners and guard fresh drywall corners before the first piece comes through the door. About four in five homes are detached, many with three bedrooms, so the typical load is a full family house. Condos are scarce, and most apartments are in small low-rise buildings, so those moves are lighter and usually suit a van.

The county changes as you head north. The south is mostly flat clay plain and limestone, crossed by the Mississippi and Rideau rivers, and moves between Carleton Place, Perth and the villages are usually straightforward. Further north the Canadian Shield takes over, with rock, forest and lakes, and rural lots there can have sloped or rocky approaches that are worth describing before we pick a truck. Homes near the water, along the rivers or on lakes such as Mississippi Lake and Christie Lake, often need a plan for parking and the carry path. With so much new construction, we also coordinate many moves around builders' possession dates, so send us yours as soon as the builder confirms it.

Our crews work across Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Beckwith and Perth, in communities such as Almonte and Pakenham, and in Smiths Falls, which sits inside the county but is run separately. Leeds and Grenville is roughly 43 km away and Frontenac roughly 59 km, and we move households into both, as well as to and from Ottawa and down to the Toronto area. Families moving to or from another province get full long-distance service with careful packing and a clear inventory. Tell us about your move and we will send you a quote.
