Movers in the Petite-Nation — Thurso, Papineauville & Montebello
Moving in the Petite-Nation? Get one flat-rate number from a licensed & insured crew — en français ou en anglais. Call 613-800-0917
The Petite-Nation valley runs along the Ottawa River east of Gatineau — Thurso with its mill, Plaisance and its park, Papineauville, Montebello with the great log château, and Saint-André-Avellin up the valley road. Since the A-50 opened, the whole corridor sits within an easy hour of our base, and Men In Trucks Moving Inc. serves it the way we serve everywhere: our own truck, our own crew, one written number before load day, en français ou en anglais.
Moves we handle in the Petite-Nation
- Village moves — Thurso, Plaisance, Papineauville, Montebello, Saint-André-Avellin and the rangs between: houses, apartments and downsizing moves.
- To and from Gatineau and Ottawa — down the A-50 or the 148; interprovincial paperwork is routine for us. See our Buckingham & Masson-Angers movers page for the sectors next door.
- Riverfront and cottage properties — places along the Ottawa River and the lakes up the valley, where lane access and slope get planned at quote time.
- Montreal-direction moves — the A-50 east makes Lachute and Montreal a straightforward run; larger relocations go through our long-distance service.
- Century village homes — tall Québécois village houses with steep stairs and galleries; we plan the carry before the day, not during it.

Local knowledge that saves moving-day time
The A-50 changed everything about serving this valley — what used to be a slow run down the 148 is now an hour of highway, which is exactly why our flat rate works here. In the villages, we position the truck for narrow main streets (Papineauville’s core, Montebello in tourist season); on the rangs, we confirm lane grade and turnaround before load day. July 1 lease turnover fills the calendar on the Québec side — if your date is fixed, book early.
Frequently asked questions — Petite-Nation moves
Est-ce que le service est disponible en français ?
Oui — soumission, coordination et équipe de déménagement, en français ou en anglais, selon votre préférence.
Do you really come out as far as Montebello and Saint-André-Avellin?
Yes — the whole Petite-Nation valley is inside our 150 km service area, and the A-50 makes it an easy run. The flat first-3-hours rate covers the trip out, whichever village you’re in.
Is a move from the Petite-Nation to Ottawa complicated?
Not for us — interprovincial moves are our normal work. The quote, paperwork and insurance cover both provinces, and nothing about the line changes your price structure.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three weeks for summer and month-end dates — more around July 1, when Québec lease turnover fills the calendar fast. Off-season, shorter notice usually works.
Can you store my belongings between homes?
Yes — storage-in-transit in our secure Ottawa warehouse bridges the gap between your move-out and move-in dates, all under one quote.
