Movers in Alexandria & Glengarry County

Eastern Ontario moving · ~4 min read · Updated July 2026

Glengarry sits in the triangle between Ottawa, Cornwall and Montreal — Highland Scottish on the surface, deeply francophone underneath, and full of the two kinds of homes that make moving interesting: century farmhouses on concession roads and village homes in Alexandria, Lancaster, Maxville and Williamstown. Men In Trucks Moving Inc. serves the whole county from our Ottawa base, on the same corridor network that already carries our Cornwall moving services and our Montreal-bound routes.

Glengarry moves we handle

• Within the county — Alexandria to Lancaster, a farm property to a village home, or a downsizing move into an apartment on Main Street.
• The three-city triangle — Glengarry sits within an easy truck day of Ottawa, Cornwall and Montreal, and moves flow in all three directions: retirees to the St. Lawrence, young families to Alexandria’s affordability, commuters following Highway 417 or the VIA line that stops in Alexandria and Maxville.
• Farm and estate moves — multi-generation households, workshops, and the accumulated contents of properties that have been in one family for decades. These take planning and honest hours, not a template.
• Bilingual moves — une grande partie de Glengarry vit en français; le devis, la planification et le jour du déménagement peuvent se dérouler entièrement en français.

Farmhouses and village homes

The county’s century farmhouses are beautiful and awkward in equal measure: narrow back staircases, low door frames, woodstoves, and outbuildings holding half the household’s contents. We plan those moves around the property — which buildings are in scope, where the truck stands in the yard, what needs disassembly — before move day. Village homes in Alexandria, Maxville and Lancaster are usually simpler access, but the pieces inside them are often the family’s oldest: harvest tables, pianos, armoires that came down a generation or two. Blanket-wrap is standard on every piece; for pianos and safes specifically, our piano & heavy-item movers service covers Glengarry in full.

The towns and townships we serve

Alexandria (the county’s hub, on Highway 34 and the Ottawa–Montreal rail line), Maxville (home of the Glengarry Highland Games), Lancaster and South Lancaster where Highway 401 meets Lake St. Francis, Williamstown — one of Ontario’s oldest settlements, dating to the 1780s — plus Martintown, Green Valley, Glen Robertson, Apple Hill, Dunvegan and the North and South Glengarry township roads between them. West of the county line, our Winchester & North Dundas movers page covers the Dundas side; south along the river, Cornwall; north toward the 417, our Casselman movers page picks up Prescott-Russell.

How pricing works in the county

Same structure as all our Eastern Ontario work: transparent hourly crew rates plus one fixed, itemized travel charge for the corridor leg from Ottawa — no per-kilometre meter. County-internal moves and moves into Cornwall or Montreal are planned as single corridor days to keep the travel portion sensible. For a real number, send both addresses, the home size, and a note about any farm buildings or heavy pieces: 613-800-0917 or [email protected].
