Men In Trucks Moving Inc. moves families in and out of Richmond — the historic village in Ottawa’s rural southwest that has quietly become one of the city’s fastest-growing communities. Richmond moves today split into two very different jobs: brand-new subdivision homes going up off Perth Street and Ottawa Street, and century homes in the old village core near the Jock River. We do both, and they don’t move the same way.
Two kinds of Richmond move
- New-build subdivisions. Richmond’s growth means builder possession dates, fresh driveways, and whole streets moving in the same season. We schedule around key release, protect brand-new floors, and unload room-by-room so day one is livable.
- The old village. Century homes around McBean Street and the fairgrounds come with narrow staircases, low door frames and furniture that’s been in the family longer than the house has had wiring. Blanket-wrap, patience and door protection are standard.
- Rural edges. Long laneways and larger properties toward Munster and North Gower need the right truck position and sometimes a two-stage load — we plan it before the day, not during it.
Where Richmond moves go
Half our Richmond jobs come from inside Ottawa — families trading Barrhaven or Kanata for more space out Fallowfield Road. The other half move within the village, or head the other way toward the city. Either direction, it’s a one-crew, same-day local move at honest hourly rates — see our main Ottawa movers page for how we work.
How Richmond moves are priced
Transparent hourly crew rates: home size, access at both ends and the date set the time. Rural laneways or a stop in the village? Say so at quoting and it’s built in — no surprise charges. Add packing services if you’d rather not box a four-bedroom yourself.
Frequently asked questions — moving in Richmond
Do you handle new-build possession day moves in Richmond?
Yes — it’s a big share of what we do here. We time the crew to your key release, protect new finishes, and can hold your belongings in storage if closing slips.
Can you move a century home in the old village?
Absolutely. Older Richmond homes get careful hands: banister padding, door-frame protection, and blanket-wrap on every piece before it moves.
Do you cover the rural roads around Richmond?
Yes — Munster, North Gower, Fallowfield and the concession roads between them are all in our regular service area. Long laneways just need a heads-up at quoting.
Is a Barrhaven-to-Richmond move one day?
Easily. It’s a short local run — load in the morning, unload after lunch, same crew end to end.
Do you supply packing help too?
Yes — full or partial packing the day before, so moving day is just the move.
