What separates a great moving company from a cheap quote, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
Insist on a written estimate that states the hourly rate, crew size, truck fee, and any minimums. A vague phone quote often grows on moving day.
Basic mover liability is often priced by weight, not value, which barely covers a damaged TV. Ask what coverage is included and whether added valuation protection is worth it.
Ottawa moves cluster at month-end and over the summer. The best crews book out weeks ahead for those dates; reserve early.
Walk-ups, long carries, and elevator bookings add time and cost. Tell the mover about access at both ends so the estimate is realistic.
