Orléans is the largest francophone community in Ottawa’s suburbs, and it shows up in the details of a move. The paperwork goes out in English and French. The crew dispatcher switches languages mid-sentence without noticing. When a client wants to discuss the packing plan over the phone in French, that’s not a special accommodation — it’s how the call runs. Nos équipes parlent français, point final.
Orléans is also a long corridor. A move from Fallingbrook to the downtown core is 25 kilometres on the Queensway. A Chapel Hill to Barrhaven move is an hour in Friday-afternoon traffic if you take the 417 the wrong way. Our drivers know when to take Innes Road versus Highway 174, when to cut down Place d’Orléans Drive to avoid the mall traffic, and when it’s faster to jump onto Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard instead of Orléans Boulevard. That kind of knowledge is the difference between a 9-hour move and a 7-hour one.
Most Orléans homes are family homes. Two-storey builds in Avalon and Fallingbrook, bungalow-and-basement combos in Queenswood Heights, older townhomes in Chapel Hill, and newer condos around Place d’Orléans Station. We bring the crew size and truck size each one needs — a 20-foot truck doesn’t solve a Fallingbrook four-bedroom, and a 26-footer is overkill for a one-bedroom condo off Jeanne d’Arc.

Moving services we offer in Orléans
Residential moves (family homes, condos, townhomes)
Full-service residential moves from a Convent Glen townhome to a Fallingbrook two-storey. We protect hardwood with runners, pad every doorframe, disassemble beds and sectionals, and reassemble on delivery. Bilingual service throughout — from the first quote call to the final walkthrough at delivery. See local moving options and pricing.
Packing and unpacking (English and French)
Full-service packing when you don’t have two weekends free. Partial packing for kitchens, libraries, and home offices. We supply boxes, paper, bubble, tape, and labels — room labels come in English, French, or both, your choice. Useful when one partner prefers one language and the other the other. More on our packing services page.
Storage between closings
Closings in Orléans don’t always line up. When your Chapel Hill sale closes on the 15th but the Avalon build isn’t ready until the 30th, we hold your household in our climate-controlled Ottawa facility and deliver when you’re ready. Billed by the week, not the month. More on short and long-term storage.
Junk removal and donation runs
Moving out of a Chapel Hill home after 25 years usually means a basement, a garage, and maybe a backyard shed that all need to lose half their contents. We haul the junk, drop donations at Matthew House or the Salvation Army Orléans store, and recycle electronics at an approved depot — same crew, same day as the move.
Condo moves near Place d’Orléans Station
Condos and apartments along Jeanne d’Arc and the new LRT line have strict building rules: elevator reservations, move-in windows, COI to property management, masking on elevator walls. We handle all of it. Include the building’s requirements at quote stage and the move comes out of the same flat rate.
Long-distance moves out of Orléans
Orléans families moving for a job in Montréal, Québec City, Toronto, or the Maritimes get a dedicated truck, single crew loading and unloading, and firm delivery windows — no transfer depots where things disappear. Bilingual coordination with the receiving end in Québec. Details on our long-distance movers page.
Orléans streets and landmarks we move every week
Orléans Boulevard, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, St. Joseph Boulevard, Tenth Line Road, Innes Road, Trim Road, Navan Road, Youville Drive, Champlain Street, Centrum Boulevard, Fortune Drive, Valin Street, Portobello Boulevard, Prestwick Drive, Spring Street. Landmarks we’ve loaded or unloaded near in the past year: Place d’Orléans shopping centre, the Place d’Orléans LRT Station, the Shenkman Arts Centre, the Ray Friel Recreation Complex, St. Peter High School, Béatrice-Desloges Catholic School, École secondaire publique Louis-Riel, the Orléans United Church, and the Millennium Sports Park.
Our drivers know that Highway 174 eastbound backs up at Jeanne d’Arc at 5 pm on weekdays, and that Orléans Boulevard south to Innes is usually the faster route out. On holiday weekends we start early to beat the Montréal-bound traffic building east of the city.
What an Orléans move actually costs
Flat-rate quotes, not hourly meters. A typical three-bedroom Convent Glen townhome to another Orléans home runs in a specific band; a four-bedroom Fallingbrook executive home to Avalon runs in another. The quote we send you is the price we bill — no “stairs surcharge” showing up on the invoice, no “long carry” fee because the driveway was 30 feet instead of 20. If the job takes longer than we estimated, that’s on us.

Orléans movers — frequently asked questions
Le service est-il disponible en français?
Oui, entièrement. Nos équipes et notre équipe de répartition parlent français couramment. Vous pouvez demander un devis, poser des questions, et communiquer avec l’équipe de déménagement le jour même en français. Les reçus et la documentation sont disponibles dans les deux langues.
Do you handle Place d’Orléans condo moves with building-assigned windows?
Yes. Most condos along Jeanne d’Arc and near the LRT station require a move window booked with the building, a Certificate of Insurance to property management, and elevator masking. We do this every week — send us the building’s move-in package at quote stage and we take care of the rest.
Can you coordinate a move from Orléans to Montréal or Québec City?
Yes. Interprovincial moves to Québec get a dedicated truck, single crew loading and unloading, firm delivery windows, and bilingual coordination with the receiving address. No transfer depots. A common route for Orléans families returning to Québec for work or family.
My Chapel Hill home has been in the family for 25 years — there’s a lot to sort through. Can you help?
Yes. Long-tenure Chapel Hill, Convent Glen, and Queenswood Heights homes are some of our most common Orléans jobs. We’ll do a free pre-move walk-through to estimate the packout honestly, and we can pair the move with a junk-removal and donation-run service so you’re not moving things you don’t want to keep.
Do you move hot tubs, pianos, pool tables, or appliances?
Yes to all four with proper notice. Each requires specific equipment and crew size. Include at quote stage and it’s built into the flat rate — no day-of surprise fees.
Can you store our things if the new Orléans home isn’t ready on closing day?
Yes. We hold your household in our Ottawa climate-controlled facility between closings, billed by the week. Builder-delay storage is common for Avalon new builds; we plan for it.
How far ahead should I book an Orléans move?
Two to four weeks is ideal for prime windows (end of month, end of school year). For mid-month weekday moves we can often accommodate a few days’ notice. Condo moves with building windows should be booked as soon as the window is confirmed with the property manager.
