Quebec has its own rules. Its consumer protection office, the OPC, requires a written moving contract that states the total amount, and it recommends checking that the mover has at least $1 million in liability insurance. Many Quebec leases end on July 1, so late June and early July book up very early on the Gatineau side.
Houses and townhouses anywhere in Ottawa, billed by the hour with a written estimate.
Elevator bookings, loading docks and downtown parking planned before the truck arrives.
Full or partial packing, plus boxes, tape, paper and wardrobe boxes delivered ahead of time.
A few items, a storage unit, or a small office moved after hours or on a weekend.
