Local moves in the Ottawa/Kanata area are generally priced by crew size and hours, not a flat fee. As a general guide for 2026:
| Crew Size | Typical Hourly Rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $120 – $180/hr |
| 3 movers + truck | $160 – $230/hr |
These are general Ottawa-area industry benchmarks, not Ardie's confirmed rate card — every quote depends on the size of your home, stairs, elevator access, and distance. A 1-bedroom condo move in Kanata Lakes typically runs 3–4 hours; a 3-bedroom house move often runs 6–8 hours. Call 343-353-9900 for an exact, no-obligation quote.
Especially for condo buildings along Terry Fox Drive and in Kanata Lakes, where move-in windows are often tightly scheduled by property management.
Cul-de-sac access, driveway length, and any stairs are factored into your crew size and timing, not figured out on the spot.
Furniture blankets, shrink wrap, and straps protect your items and your home's walls and floors during the carry.
