This page is part of our full Ottawa moving services lineup.

Why between-moves storage makes sense
The self-storage industry is built for long-term stuff you never touch. We solve a different problem: the 2-week, 2-month, or 6-month gap between two moves, handled end-to-end.
Pickup and delivery included
We load at your old place, store at our depot, deliver to your new place when you are ready. No renting a U-Haul for the storage transfer.
Pay only for space you use
We measure in cubic feet, not locker units. A 1-bedroom usually takes ~200 cu ft. Pay for the 200, not the 400 a small locker charges.
Secure, monitored, insured facility
24/7 camera coverage, climate-controlled main zones, inventory logged. Items blanket-wrapped before storage.
Storage pricing
Between-moves storage is billed per month based on cubic feet used. Pickup and delivery are separate hourly charges (standard local-move rates).
2 Movers + Truck
Studios, 1-bedroom apartments, light loads. 2-hour minimum.
3 Movers + Truck
2-bedroom apartments, small houses. Fastest per-dollar option.
4 Movers + Truck
3+ bedroom houses, heavy loads. Cuts clock time nearly in half.

Storage FAQ
Is the storage facility climate-controlled?
Main storage zones are climate-controlled and maintained between 15-22°C with humidity management. Warehouse zone (unheated) is priced lower for items tolerating temperature variation.
What is the minimum storage term?
1 month is the minimum. Most bookings are 2-6 weeks. Shorter custody is possible under a day-storage rate.
Can I access my items while they are in storage?
Yes, with 48 hours notice. We pull your items from the depot and make them accessible during business hours.
Is my stuff insured while in storage?
Yes — included basic coverage is $0.60/lb. For high-value items you can declare a value and increase coverage.
How are items packed for storage?
Everything gets wrapped in moving blankets, padded, and placed on pallets. Fragile items go in boxes with paper cushioning.
Can I receive items in my storage unit?
Yes — e.g., online furniture purchases that arrive before you are ready. Tell us what is coming and we will receive, inspect, and store.
What cities do you deliver to from storage?
Primary delivery is anywhere in Ottawa region. Long-distance delivery (e.g., Ottawa storage → Toronto destination) is billed as a long-distance move.
How do I transition from self-storage to your Ottawa storage?
We pick up from your self-storage unit (Storwell, Dymon, public self-storage), load to our depot, store at lower cost per cubic foot. Usually saves 30-50% vs self-storage monthly.
Do you store vehicles, motorcycles, or large outdoor items?
Not vehicles. Yes to motorcycles, kayaks, patio furniture, holiday decorations, garden equipment. Weather-sensitive items go in climate-controlled zones.
Store, then move when you are ready
