Movers in Merrickville — Rideau Canal Village Moving Crews

Merrickville calls itself the Jewel of the Rideau for a reason: stone heritage buildings around the locks, an artisan main street, and homes that have stood since the canal was dug. Moving in a village like this rewards care and planning, and that’s how Men In Trucks Moving Inc. runs it — our own truck, our own uniformed crew, blanket-wrap on every piece, and one written quote before load day. We serve Merrickville-Wolford end to end, from the village core to Burritts Rapids and the rural roads between.

Moves we handle in Merrickville-Wolford
- Village moves — heritage stone homes and storefront apartments around St. Lawrence Street and the locks, where narrow stairs and plaster walls are the norm and we plan the carry before the day.
- Burritts Rapids and the rural township — island-village homes on the canal, farmhouses off the county roads, and everything between.
- The Kemptville corridor — fifteen minutes east; see our Kemptville movers page for the North Grenville end.
- The Smiths Falls corridor — twenty minutes west along the Rideau; our Smiths Falls movers page covers that end.
- Long-distance from a Merrickville address — Toronto, Montreal, out west or down east as a dedicated job via our long-distance service.
How quoting works
Three things set the price: how much is moving, the access at both ends (stairs, elevators, how close the truck can stand), and the distance. We quote from those facts and put one number in writing — the quote number is the invoice number unless the scope genuinely changes. Start at our online quote form, or call 613-800-0917 / email [email protected].
Local knowledge that saves moving-day time
Antiques and heritage homes go together, and Merrickville has more of both per block than anywhere else on the Rideau. Solid-wood armoires, cast-iron pieces, gallery art from the main-street shops — tell us about them at quote time and they’re padded, strapped and planned work. In the village core we position the truck to keep St. Lawrence Street’s sightlines clear (summer weekends bring the tourists), and in Burritts Rapids the swing-bridge approach decides the routing — details the crew already knows.
Simple flat-rate pricing in Merrickville
Every move outside Ottawa is priced the simple way: one flat rate covers your first 3 hours — crew, 26-foot truck, fuel and the trip out, all included — then straight hourly billing after that. No travel-fee math, no fuel surcharge, no surprises on move day.
- 2 movers + truck — $750 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $150/hr
- 3 movers + truck — $950 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $195/hr
- 4 movers + truck — $1,200 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $245/hr
- 5 movers + 2 trucks — $1,600 + tax for the first 3 hours, then $325/hr
The number we quote in writing is the number on your invoice unless the scope of the move genuinely changes.
Frequently asked questions — Merrickville moves
Do you actually service Merrickville, or just Ottawa?
We serve Merrickville directly — the crew and truck come out from our Ottawa base, about 45 minutes down the 416, and that leg is built into the quote as a fixed line item. The village, Burritts Rapids and the wider township are regular territory.
Can you move antiques and fragile heritage pieces?
Yes — blanket-wrap is standard on every piece, and antiques get called out on the inventory so the crew knows before they touch them. Tell us at quote time about anything irreplaceable.
Can a full-size truck work in the heritage core?
Yes, with the right positioning — we plan where the truck stands so it neither blocks the street nor stretches the carry. That’s decided before load day, not during it.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable for summer and month-end dates; more if you’re tied to a fixed closing day. Off-season, shorter notice usually works.
Can you store everything between closings?
Yes — storage-in-transit in our secure Ottawa warehouse bridges the gap between closings, all under one quote.
