Movers in Peterborough County, Ontario

Our crews move families across Peterborough County, from Selwyn and Cavan-Monaghan to Douro-Dummer and the lake country of the Kawarthas. Nearly every home here is a detached house and the county is growing quickly, so we mostly move whole households, many of them arriving from elsewhere in Ontario or moving between the county and the City of Peterborough.

From Lakefield to Millbrook: moving across Peterborough County

Almost every home in Peterborough County is a detached house, and about a third have four or more bedrooms, so the typical move is a full household: basement, garage and often a shed or workshop as well. Owners far outnumber renters and condos barely register, which means our work here is mostly house-to-house moves rather than apartment jobs. The housing spans generations, with farmhouses and older village homes that have steep stairs and tight landings alongside much newer builds, so we match the crew and the padding to the house in front of us. Lakefront properties bring their own needs too, like sloped lots, decks full of outdoor furniture and a longer walk between the door and the truck.

Peterborough County divides into two kinds of country. The south mixes farmland, towns and lakefront properties, with communities such as Bridgenorth, Lakefield, Millbrook and Norwood, and access there is mostly straightforward, apart from the odd sloped lot by the water. The north is largely wilderness, with rivers, lakes and Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park, so homes up there can sit well away from the main roads, at the end of narrow lanes that call for a smaller truck or a careful plan. The Kawarthas are a major tourist region, so roads near the lakes get busier in summer, and we time pickups and routes around that traffic where we can.

Our crews work in Selwyn, Cavan-Monaghan, Douro-Dummer and the other townships, and in communities such as Buckhorn, Havelock, Douro and Apsley. The City of Peterborough is the county seat but runs on its own, and we move households in and out of it as well. Clarington, the nearest large centre, lies roughly 64 km off, and Northumberland County roughly 45 km; we also handle moves into Durham Region, on to the Toronto area and out of province for families relocating elsewhere in Canada.
