Best Ottawa movers

Moving to a new home is an exciting time filled with new opportunities, experiences, and memories to be made. One of the biggest concerns for anyone planning a move is how long it will take. The truth is, the time it takes to complete a move can vary greatly depending on a number of factors.

Key factors that affect move time:

  1. The size of your home: The more items you have to move, the longer it will take to pack and transport everything.

  2. The size of your apartment elevator: If your elevator is not big enough, this might add additional time to your move time as we wouldn’t be able to fit more items on the elevator.

  3. The convenience of loading zone to your apartment or house. 

  4. The convenience of the elevator to your apartment: If the distance between your apartment and the elevator is far, this will also affect your move time.

  5. The distance of your move: The farther you’re moving, the longer it will take to get everything to your new home.

  6. The level of service you choose: If you opt for a full-service moving company, the process may take longer, as the movers will be responsible for packing, loading, and unloading all of your belongings.

  7. Any unforeseen circumstances: Finally, it’s important to keep in mind that unforeseen circumstances can always arise during a move, such as traffic delays or bad weather, which can add time to the process.
