Storage Solutions
Built Around Your Move
We’re a moving company, not a storage facility — and that’s the point. We handle the labour, offer short-term storage in our truck or secured garage for gap situations, load and unload on-site containers, and refer you to the right facility for longer-term needs.
We Move You There — You Choose Where “There” Is
Four distinct ways we help with storage as part of a move or as a standalone service.
1. We Move Belongings to a Storage Facility
If you’re putting items into storage as part of a move or downsizing, we load, transport, and unload at the facility — Dymon, U-Haul, or wherever you’ve rented. You don’t need to coordinate separate moving labour. One booking, one crew, one invoice for the moving portion.
2. Short-Term Storage — Truck or Garage
For gap situations where you need to be out before your new place is ready, we store your belongings ourselves — in our moving truck or our secured company garage — overnight to a few days, then deliver when you’re ready. Daily rate quoted upfront, never added as a surprise.
3. Container and POD Loading / Unloading
U-Haul U-Box, PODS, or any container delivered to your property — we provide the labour to load or unload it. Available as a standalone service, no full move required. Billed hourly. Call with the container size and rough inventory for a time estimate.
4. Facility Recommendations
Not sure which facility, unit size, or duration fits your situation? We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what you’re storing and for how long. We have no financial arrangement with any facility — the recommendation is based purely on what works best for your situation.
Truck Storage vs Garage Storage — Which Is Right for You?
For gap situations between move-out and move-in, we offer two options depending on the size of your load. Both cover overnight to a few days. Longer gaps are better handled at a storage facility — we’ll help you get set up there.
Storage in Our Moving Truck
We load your belongings on move-out day, keep everything secured in the truck overnight or for a few days, then deliver to your new address when you’re ready. Best for larger loads where the truck can hold everything in one go.
- Best for larger loads — full 1–2 bedroom apartment volumes
- Loaded once, delivered once — no double-handling
- Daily rate on top of move rate — disclosed upfront
Storage in Our Secured Garage
For smaller loads, we store items in our company garage — locked, camera-monitored, and generally cheaper per day than truck storage. Same process: we load, store, and deliver when your new place is ready.
- Best for smaller loads — studio or partial moves
- Locked and camera-monitored
- Generally cheaper per day than truck storage
- Daily rate quoted upfront
Both options are best for gaps of overnight to a few days. For longer storage needs we refer you to Dymon, U-Haul, or another suitable facility.
Common Scenarios
Closing date gap
Your old place closes before your new one is ready. We move your belongings into our truck or garage for a few days, then deliver when you’re ready — or move to a facility for longer gaps.
Downsizing
Moving to a smaller space and not everything is coming with you. We move the overflow into storage while you figure out what stays.
Staging a home for sale
Decluttering before listing means temporarily relocating furniture. We move it out, store it short-term, and bring it back after the sale closes.
Renovations
Moving furniture out of a space being renovated and back in when the work is done.
Commercial transitions
Lease changes, office reconfiguration, or business relocation where not everything moves at once.
For Longer-Term Storage — Who We Recommend
We have no financial arrangement with any storage provider. Our recommendations are based purely on what we’ve seen work well for clients.
Dymon Storage
Multiple Ottawa locations, clean facilities, range of unit sizes. Good for longer-term residential and commercial storage. Climate-controlled options available.
U-Haul Storage & U-Box
Convenient if you’re already renting a U-Haul truck or container. Multiple locations across Ottawa and Gatineau. U-Box containers can be delivered to your property — we load them.
Other Facilities
Depending on your location and needs, we may recommend additional options. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on your situation.
How Much Space Do You Need?
A rough guide — the storage facility will confirm based on your specific inventory. We can help you think through what’s going in before you call them.
| Unit Size | Fits Approx. |
|---|---|
| 5 × 5 | Small number of boxes, a few furniture pieces, closet contents |
| 5 × 10 | 1-bedroom apartment contents |
| 10 × 10 | 2-bedroom apartment or small house |
| 10 × 15 | 3-bedroom house, including appliances |
| 10 × 20 | Large 3–4 bedroom home, garage included |
Always confirm unit size with the facility — inventory varies and oversized items (sofa, fridge, bed frame) take more space than their room classification suggests.
