Relocating to a new home in Ontario’s Durham Region — from Pickering and Ajax to Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville, Courtice, Brooklin, and Port Perry — can be exciting but also overwhelming without the right help. Whether you’re drawn to the Lake Ontario waterfront, family-friendly neighborhoods, or the scenic green spaces like Heber Down Conservation Area and Darlington Provincial Park, having a reliable moving partner makes all the difference.
At On the Move, we specialize in providing affordable, insured, and efficient moving services across the Durham Region. Here’s how to prepare for a smooth, stress-free move.
1. Choose a Trusted Durham Region Moving Company
While a DIY move might seem cheaper at first, hiring a professional moving company in Durham Region can save you time, effort, and unexpected costs. Before booking, ask:
- Do they provide free packing materials like boxes, tape, or bubble wrap?
- Are there any hidden fees or surprise charges?
- Is there a fuel surcharge for moves between towns like Pickering, Oshawa, Bowmanville, or Port Perry?
At On the Move, we offer transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and local expertise. Our movers know every neighborhood — from Rotary Park in Ajax to Lakeview Park in Oshawa — ensuring a smooth, well-planned move.
2. Track All Moving Expenses in Advance
Budgeting is key to avoiding last-minute surprises. Moving costs can vary depending on the location, home size, and distance. For moves within Courtice, Brooklin, or busy downtown Whitby, remember to account for:
- Parking permits for congested areas
- Elevator or loading dock reservations for condos near high-traffic spots
By planning ahead, you’ll keep your move on budget and stress-free.
3. Prepare Like a Pro for Moving Day
A successful move starts with good preparation. Whether you’re settling near Lynde Shores Conservation Area or a new build in North Oshawa, follow these steps:
- Keep an “essentials box” with toiletries, important documents, snacks, and chargers
- Protect fragile items with bubble wrap and labeling
- Give your movers clear instructions for any special items
When you book with On the Move, you get a dedicated team that handles the heavy lifting — so you can focus on the excitement of your new home.
