What Customers Say After Their Move

“After contacting several moving companies in Ottawa, I chose Foosun based on their transparent pricing. Watching them work exceeded my expectations. They treated my grandmother’s china cabinet like it was their own family heirloom.”

— Jennifer M., Orleans to Nepean

“We used Foosun Moving to move in our first house. They were on time, very fast yet careful, took only one break (of 2 minutes lol), and most importantly they were honest regarding the price. Considering this was our first house we wanted to be very careful not to damage the walls, and these movers delivered without any scratches. Zero complaints about these guys. I would strongly recommend. Quality above-par movers with affordable prices.”

— Allen I.(Local Guide Level 9), Westboro Relocation

“I had a great experience with Foosun Moving! I had a challenging move (3-floor walk-up in the dead of summer) and they remained professional and courteous throughout, and they were very fairly priced to boot! I will definitely be using them again for future moves, and recommending them to friends and family.”

— Laura Stec, Kanata Move

Common Questions About Our Moving Process

How do you protect furniture during transport?
We use a multi-layer protection system for every piece. Furniture blankets provide padding, shrink wrap holds blankets in place and prevents scratches, and corner guards protect vulnerable edges. Fragile items receive additional boxing with bubble wrap or foam padding. Glass surfaces get cardboard shields. Our trucks have built-in tie-down systems preventing movement during transport.
What happens if weather turns bad on moving day?
Ottawa weather can be unpredictable. We come prepared for rain, snow, or extreme temperatures. Our team brings extra tarps to protect belongings from moisture, floor runners prevent tracking mud or snow indoors, and heated trucks protect temperature-sensitive items. We’ve successfully completed moves in blizzards and thunderstorms. Unless conditions create genuine safety hazards, your move proceeds as scheduled.
Do you handle specialty items like pianos or artwork?
Absolutely. Our crew has specialized training for pianos, antiques, artwork, and other valuable items. Pianos get disassembled when necessary and moved with proper dollies. Artwork travels in custom crates or protective sleeves. We’ve relocated everything from grand pianos to museum-quality paintings. Just inform us during the quote process so we bring appropriate equipment.
Can you navigate tight spaces and staircases?
Tight spaces are our specialty, especially in older Ottawa neighborhoods. We measure doorways and stairwells during estimates to plan ahead. Many items that seem impossible to fit can be maneuvered with proper technique – tilting, rotating, sometimes removing doors temporarily. Our experienced crew has moved king-sized beds up spiral staircases and couches around impossible corners. We find solutions where others see problems.
How long does a typical move take?
Duration depends on home size, distance, and complexity. A one-bedroom apartment typically takes three to five hours. Three-bedroom houses average six to eight hours. Factors affecting timing include elevator availability, parking distance, stairs, and whether you need packing services. During your estimate, we provide a realistic timeframe based on your specific situation.
What should I do to prepare for moving day?
Pack personal items in boxes, clearly labeling each one with contents and destination room. Disconnect and prepare appliances for moving. Create a clear pathway from rooms to the exit. Park your vehicle elsewhere to reserve space for our truck. Keep valuables, important documents, and medications with you rather than on the truck. The more prepared you are, the faster and smoother your move progresses.
