Moving in Barrhaven — what you should know

Barrhaven spans a diverse mix of property types and neighbourhoods, each with its own logistical character. Whether you're leaving a high-rise, a townhouse, or a detached home, our team tailors every move to the specifics of your address.

We regularly work in areas like Stonebridge, Chapman Mills, Half Moon Bay and Longfields-Davidson Heights — places where local familiarity matters when selecting the right truck access point, respecting building rules, and timing your departure.

As a bilingual moving company rooted in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, we understand the seasonal demands of the area — from harsh winters that require extra planning to busy month-ends when loading docks book up days in advance.

Barrhaven routes we plan around

Most Barrhaven moves run through Strandherd Drive, Greenbank Road, Woodroffe Avenue and Highway 416. Strandherd and the Marketplace area are busiest on weekends, so we prefer early starts or weekday loading when your dates allow it.

For moves toward Riverside South or Findlay Creek, the Vimy Memorial Bridge saves a long detour through Manotick or the city centre. Kanata and Stittsville moves usually take the 416 to the 417, and Nepean is often just a short drive up Woodroffe or Greenbank.

Townhomes, new builds and upsizing

A lot of our Barrhaven work is families moving from a townhome in Half Moon Bay or Chapman Mills into a detached house in Stonebridge or one of the newer south-end subdivisions, or the other way around when it is time to downsize.

New-build closing dates sometimes move at the last minute. If yours does, call us and we will look for a new slot. In a brand-new house we lay floor runners and pad the door frames and railings, as we do in every home.

From Barrhaven to Gatineau, downtown Ottawa or another city

Barrhaven to Gatineau is one of our regular routes. Travel time between the two addresses is part of the billed time, so we plan the bridge crossing outside rush hour whenever we can. Our rates are the same on both sides of the river: from $119 an hour for two movers and a 20-foot truck, or $129 an hour with a 26-foot truck, on weekdays from the 5th to the 25th of the month.

Leaving the region? Our long-distance moves to Kingston, Montreal, Toronto or Quebec City are priced as a flat rate, with one dedicated truck and the same crew from your Barrhaven door to the new address.

UpMove — Preston St. (108)UpMove Ottawa — Carling Ave. (168)

Oleg, Vladimir & Radion are fantastic! I couldn't be happier with the job they did! They were so friendly, professional & efficient! I hired them to move my business from an hour outside of Ottawa into the city. Oleg met me ahead of time and viewed both places & what I was moving. I had several heavy appliances to be moved, and I was worried about them fitting in my new location. Oleg was very reassuring that they would put every effort into getting them in & put me at ease immediately. They had to carry in the fridges & freezers & flip them around to stand them up under a low ceiling. They moved a couch up a flight of stairs & it was heavy and not an easy fit. They were so friendly while they worked and had great senses if humour! They took a lot of care with everything they moved & the space. They worked quickly & efficiently, disassembled items, removed door hinges, and they put everything where I wanted. It was the easiest and least stressful move I've ever gone through & I can't recommend them enough!

UpMove led by Oleg is an excellent business. The team who helped us really cared about our belongings and were very efficient. They worked so hard to get the truck to fit for the load out and delivered early the next day as we moved cities. This team are pros and I would highly recommend to anyone moving within city and to a different city. Very clear pricing model with great communication for the clients. Thank you rod, Tanya, Nadia, old, Alex and Andrew for all your help. You guys are amazing

Oleg and his team were exceptional for my move from Ottawa to Montreal! I will absolutely be using them again. They showed up on time, worked incredibly efficiently, and handled my items with care. They even went the extra mile and fixed a drawer for me before packing it on the truck. They were very accommodating when I had an address update and made the day as stress free as one could expect a move to be. Their “we got this” attitude really helped to keep me at ease throughout the day. Thank you so much for the awesome experience!

I hired UpMove Ottawa to move me from my apartment unit to another unit. They showed up earlier than expected; but they gave me notice of the time change. Andrew and Rad were very efficient and friendly. They were very professional and the move went well. I was very impressed when I arrived at my new place to see the boxes neatly stacked. The furniture was well placed too. I would hire UpMove again when needed. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a moving company for their move.

We were very impressed with Up Move staff who provided an estimate quickly and followed up with us prior to the move. Questions or concerns were responded to promptly and clearly. Oleg our mover called in advance of the move and arrived punctually. He was professional, courteous and good natured over the course of the move which ran longer than planned. I would highly recommend this company.

I had an outstanding moving experience with the three-person crew who handled our move in Kanata. They arrived right on time, were polite, professional, and worked incredibly efficiently. The estimate was spot on, and they handled everything with care. All our furniture was disassembled and reassembled perfectly. Truly a top-notch moving experience – highly recommend!

Barrhaven-specific moving tips

Strandherd Drive and Marketplace parking lots get congested on weekends, so weekday or early-morning loading often works better for Barrhaven.

Newer Barrhaven homes may still have unfinished landscaping or soft shoulders around the driveway; protect walk paths if rain is in the forecast.

Townhome-heavy pockets in Half Moon Bay and Chapman Mills usually require precise truck placement because visitor parking fills quickly.
