Nepean is one of Ottawa’s oldest established areas, with streets that were laid out when driveways were shorter and garages were optional. An original Craig Henry or Tanglewood bungalow is a different move than a newer Centrepointe infill; both are different from a Bel-Air Park ranch with a fully finished basement and a sunken garage. The crew for each one, the truck size, and the driveway approach are all different.
What most Nepean moves have in common is accumulation. These are homes where people have lived for a decade, or two, or three. That means finished basements with a decade of storage, a garage with three generations of hand tools, and a backyard shed with paint cans from the last two owners. A “simple” three-bedroom Nepean move is rarely simple — but it’s predictable if the mover walks the house honestly at quote stage. We do.
Merivale Road is the spine of the neighborhood. Our drivers know which stretches back up at 4 pm, which intersections along Meadowlands and Clyde stall during school pickup, and when the Hunt Club-to-417 shortcut saves 15 minutes versus Woodroffe. That driver’s knowledge shaves a full hour off a typical workday move.

Moving services we offer in Nepean
Residential moves (houses, condos, townhomes)
Full-service residential moves from a Merivale bungalow to a Barrhaven new build, or a Centrepointe executive home to a Westboro condo. We protect hardwood with runners, pad every doorframe, disassemble beds and sectionals, and reassemble on delivery. Flat-rate quotes include truck, fuel, pads, wardrobe boxes, and a crew sized for the home — not an hourly clock running while the crew takes lunch. See local moving options and pricing.
Senior and downsize moves
A lot of our Nepean work is downsize moves — a 40-year Merivale bungalow to a condo near Centrepointe Park, or Tanglewood to an assisted-living suite near the Civic Hospital. We plan these carefully: an honest walk-through, a realistic packout, a slow-paced day, and patient crews. We don’t rush an elderly client through their own kitchen while they’re trying to decide whether to keep the china.
Packing and unpacking
Full-service packing for clients who don’t have two weekends to wrap 30 years of glassware. Partial packing for kitchens, libraries, and basements. We supply boxes, paper, bubble, tape, and labels; we label by room and priority. More on our packing services page.
Storage between closings
Nepean closings sometimes slip — a buyer’s financing takes an extra week, the new place needs work. 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 Nepean home after 25 or 30 years usually means a garage, a basement, and sometimes an attic that all need to lose half their contents. We haul the junk, drop donations at Matthew House, Habitat ReStore, or the Nepean Salvation Army, and recycle electronics at an approved depot — same crew, same day as the move. Saves you the U-Haul and three weekends at the Trail Road landfill.
Long-distance and interprovincial
Nepean residents relocating for a job in Toronto, Montréal, Calgary, or to the Maritimes get a dedicated truck, single crew loading and unloading, and firm delivery windows — no transfer depots where things disappear. Details on our long-distance movers page.
Nepean streets and landmarks we move every week
Merivale Road, Clyde Avenue, Meadowlands Drive, Baseline Road, Woodroffe Avenue, Greenbank Road (north), Hunt Club Road (west), Iris Street, Craig Henry Drive, Centrepointe Drive, Tanglewood Drive, Bel-Air Drive, Fisher Avenue, Viewmount Drive, Prince of Wales Drive (south). Landmarks we’ve loaded or unloaded near in the past year: the Nepean Sportsplex, Merivale Mall, College Square, Centrepointe Theatre, Algonquin College, Ben Franklin Place, the Craig Henry Drive Community Centre, Sir Robert Borden High School, Sir Guy Carleton Secondary, and the Parkwood Hills Park.
Our drivers know that Merivale at Meadowlands at 4:45 pm is a bad idea, that Fisher Avenue back to Clyde is usually clearer, and that the College Square / Hunt Club route to the 417 is 10 minutes faster than Woodroffe after 4 pm. That kind of routing saves real time on closing day.
What a Nepean move actually costs
Flat-rate quotes, not hourly meters. A typical three-bedroom Craig Henry bungalow to another Nepean home runs in a specific band; a four-bedroom Centrepointe executive home to Kanata 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 mover had to walk 30 feet instead of 20. If the job takes longer than we estimated, that’s on us. If it takes less, we don’t pad the bill.

Nepean movers — frequently asked questions
We’re downsizing from a Bel-Air Park bungalow we’ve owned for 35 years. How do you handle that kind of move?
Carefully, and slowly. We start with a free in-home walk-through to give you an honest packout estimate, not a lowball quote. We can pair the move with junk removal and donation runs so you’re not moving items you don’t want to keep. On move day, the crew works at the client’s pace, not the clock’s — we never rush a senior through their own kitchen. Family members are welcome to be present or to attend remotely by phone.
My driveway is narrow and the truck won’t fit — is that a problem?
No. It’s Nepean — we’ve seen every driveway configuration. If a full-size truck won’t fit, we shuttle with a smaller straight truck from the street. We bring walk-boards where needed, and our dollies handle old asphalt, cracked concrete, and snow-packed drives in winter. None of this adds to your flat-rate quote.
Do you do moves close to Algonquin College during the August rental turnover?
Yes. Centrepointe and Knoxdale-Merivale see a rush of student moves late August. We book these weeks ahead — don’t wait until the lease says “vacate by” to call us. We can also split a move: load the student out of one address, drop into storage for a week, and deliver to the new place.
Can you store our things if the new home isn’t ready on closing day?
Yes. We hold your household in our Ottawa climate-controlled facility between closings, billed by the week. Common for Nepean-to-suburb transfers where the receiving home has closing-gap delays.
Do you move hot tubs, pianos, pool tables, or gun safes?
Yes to all four with proper notice. Each requires specific equipment and crew size. Pianos and pool tables are common in long-tenure Nepean homes — we handle them regularly. Include at quote stage so it’s built into the flat rate.
Are you insured?
Yes — commercial general liability and cargo coverage, with proof of insurance available on request. Basic coverage is included in every move. Declared-value and full-replacement options are available for higher-value households.
How far ahead should I book a Nepean move?
Two to four weeks for prime windows (end of month, end of school year, last two weekends of August for Algonquin-area rentals). For mid-month weekday moves we can often accommodate a few days’ notice.
