Household change
A multi-bedroom family home with basement, garage and outdoor contents

Residential moving · Ottawa
Room-by-room moving support for houses of different sizes and access conditions. Start with the properties, inventory, access and date so the scope reflects what moving day will really involve.
Who this service is for
Homeowners, tenants and families moving into, out of or between detached, semi-detached and other house-style properties in Ottawa.
Room-by-room moving support for houses of different sizes and access conditions. The service is scoped after reviewing what will be moved, which tasks the customer wants ProMove to complete, and what conditions apply at every stop. This prevents a broad service label from replacing the details needed for responsible planning.

Common moving situations
These examples describe common planning contexts. The final service scope is always based on the customer’s confirmed move.
A multi-bedroom family home with basement, garage and outdoor contents
A household moving from a smaller property into a larger house
A homeowner leaving a property on the same day the buyer takes possession
A family moving from a house into a condo and reducing its inventory
Preparation process
Each step turns assumptions into usable information for the customer and moving team.
Inventory every bedroom, living area, basement, garage and outdoor space
Identify furniture that may require appropriate disassembly before removal
Clear hallways, stairs and entrances at both houses
Label boxes by destination room and floor
Confirm driveway use, street parking and key handover timing
Protection and equipment
Protection decisions depend on the item, the property and the path between the vehicle and room.

Scope decisions
These decisions separate a service name from the actual work, responsibilities and conditions that need to appear in the moving plan.
A multi-bedroom family home with basement, garage and outdoor contents This situation should be recorded with the origin, destination, requested date and the belongings affected by the request. Plans furniture routes through doorways, stairs and exterior approaches The customer should also explain whether ProMove Ottawa is expected to complete the task, coordinate it with another service or simply plan around work handled by somebody else. Clear hallways, stairs and entrances at both houses That distinction keeps the written scope useful and prevents an informal assumption from becoming a moving-day delay.
A household moving from a smaller property into a larger house This situation should be recorded with the origin, destination, requested date and the belongings affected by the request. Coordinates household packing with disassembly and loading priorities The customer should also explain whether ProMove Ottawa is expected to complete the task, coordinate it with another service or simply plan around work handled by somebody else.

Access assessment
Access is assessed as a complete truck-to-room path at both properties, not as a single question about stairs.
Driveway dimensions and vehicle approach Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Dollies used on safe, suitable routes for heavier boxed loads The handling plan should connect that protection requirement with the actual route rather than assuming the same method works at every property. Failing to assign clear room names at the destination Photos, measurements and current building instructions can resolve uncertainty before the crew and vehicle are scheduled.
Exterior steps, gates and seasonal pathway conditions Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Straps and load organization used to stabilize the vehicle contents The handling plan should connect that protection requirement with the actual route rather than assuming the same method works at every property. Forgetting attic, shed, garage or basement items in the estimate Photos, measurements and current building instructions can resolve uncertainty before the crew and vehicle are scheduled.
Interior staircase turns and ceiling clearance Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Furniture blankets and wrap chosen for suitable household pieces The handling plan should connect that protection requirement with the actual route rather than assuming the same method works at every property. Not measuring oversized furniture against the exit route Photos, measurements and current building instructions can resolve uncertainty before the crew and vehicle are scheduled.
Distance between parked vehicle and main entrance Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Floor runners or other pathway protection considered where appropriate The handling plan should connect that protection requirement with the actual route rather than assuming the same method works at every property. Leaving appliances or outdoor equipment unprepared Photos, measurements and current building instructions can resolve uncertainty before the crew and vehicle are scheduled.

Estimate inputs
A useful estimate is based on disclosed work and constraints. It is not a generic price attached to the service label.
House size and total inventory Explain the relevant quantity, size, timing or property condition instead of leaving the factor as a broad note. Identify furniture that may require appropriate disassembly before removal The estimate review should identify which facts are confirmed, which are provisional and which require a photo, measurement or building response. Mud, snow or rain can affect exterior paths and floor protection needs If the inventory, access or requested support changes, the customer should report it before moving day so the written scope and operating plan can be reviewed together.
Number of floors and stair conditions Explain the relevant quantity, size, timing or property condition instead of leaving the factor as a broad note. Clear hallways, stairs and entrances at both houses The estimate review should identify which facts are confirmed, which are provisional and which require a photo, measurement or building response. Closing-day timing can create narrow access windows If the inventory, access or requested support changes, the customer should report it before moving day so the written scope and operating plan can be reviewed together.
Garage, basement and outdoor contents Explain the relevant quantity, size, timing or property condition instead of leaving the factor as a broad note. Label boxes by destination room and floor The estimate review should identify which facts are confirmed, which are provisional and which require a photo, measurement or building response.

Furniture preparation and packing support Explain the relevant quantity, size, timing or property condition instead of leaving the factor as a broad note. Confirm driveway use, street parking and key handover timing The estimate review should identify which facts are confirmed, which are provisional and which require a photo, measurement or building response. Large furniture may not clear stair turns or doorways without preparation If the inventory, access or requested support changes, the customer should report it before moving day so the written scope and operating plan can be reviewed together.

Moving-day controls
Clear ownership, stopping points and room instructions help the customer and moving team make consistent decisions during the work.

Large furniture may not clear stair turns or doorways without preparation If actual conditions differ from the information used for planning, pause the affected task and clarify the safe next step instead of improvising. Supports clearer destination placement across multiple floors A final walkthrough should confirm placement priorities, remaining customer tasks and any change that needs to be recorded after the agreed house moving work is complete.
