Men In Trucks Moving Inc. moves people across Overbrook — the central-east neighbourhood between the Rideau River and the Vanier Parkway that’s changing faster than almost anywhere in Ottawa. Post-war singles and doubles sit next to brand-new infill townhomes; long-time residents share streets with first-time buyers priced out of the Glebe. That mix means Overbrook moving jobs come in every size, and we price each one for what it actually is.
What Overbrook moves involve
- Infill townhomes. New three-storey builds with garage-level entries and stairs all the way up — we plan the carry order so the big pieces go first, not last.
- Post-war homes. Compact rooms and basement apartments; furniture measured before it moves, not wedged mid-stair.
- Apartment and duplex turnover. Close to downtown and the train yards redevelopment, Overbrook rents move often — small moves welcome, honest hourly billing.
- First-home upgrades. From an Overbrook double to a bigger place east or south — a same-day local move with one crew.
Central location, short trips
Overbrook borders Vanier, Sandy Hill across the river and the highway at Coventry — most moves from here are short hops, and short moves deserve right-sized billing rather than a big-move minimum. See our Vanier and Sandy Hill pages for the neighbours, or the main Ottawa movers hub.
How Overbrook moves are priced
Transparent hourly crew rates: unit size, stairs and parking set the time. Three-storey townhome? Basement apartment? Say so at quoting — it’s built into the number you get, and the invoice matches it. Our apartment movers page covers the rental end of things.
Frequently asked questions — moving in Overbrook
Do you move three-storey infill townhomes?
Yes — they’re half of new Overbrook. We sequence the carry so sofas and mattresses clear the stairwells first and protect the railings on the way.
Is a small apartment move worth booking?
Absolutely. A one-bedroom near the parkway is a short, efficient job with a two-person crew — and it still gets full wrap-and-pad treatment.
Can you park a truck on the narrower streets?
Yes, with planning — we scout the block, use driveways where they exist, and keep the carry short where they don’t.
Do you handle basement apartment moves?
Regularly — low ceilings and tight turns just mean more measuring and more padding.
How fast can you do an Overbrook-to-Vanier or Sandy Hill move?
Usually within a morning — these are next-door moves and we run them constantly.
