Ottawa, ON – December 29, 2021 – 2021 has seen a huge increase in the demand for professional movers in Ottawa. As other businesses face lockdowns, plummeting revenues and an uncertain future, professional moving companies are struggling to keep up with Ottawa residents in search of change. For Parkview Moving Company, an Ottawa moving and storage company, demand has never been higher.

“Several factors have led to the increase in the number of people moving,” explains John Charbonneau, owner of Parkview Moving Company. “The main reason people in Ottawa move seems to be the ability to work remotely. There’s no reason to pay big rents or a big mortgage if you don’t have to be in a downtown office. With so much work from home, people are looking for more space to live. The micro-condo that seemed like a good deal is no longer appealing when you can’t get out and go to the office every day and when shopping is not the leisure activity it once was. In Ottawa, where we have several large post-secondary schools, classes have largely moved online, which means students don’t have to be in small dorms on campus. What they want are bigger apartments where they have room to live and have a home based office.

Another unique aspect of 2021 that movers are seeing is the increased demand for professional movers. While DIY projects have been popular throughout the pandemic, Charbonneau explains that people are much less interested in DIY this year. With people already dealing with increased stress and anxiety, the chaos of a DIY move, damaged furniture, and back injuries are an unappealing outlook.

“In previous years, it was easy to ask friends to help you move,” says Charbonneau. “Now friends are isolated, there are regulations prohibiting people from meeting with non-family members. It’s quite intimidating to handle a move on your own.

With ever-changing regulations, and remote or contactless moves being the new normal, advance planning for a move is vital. Parkview Moving Company follows all COVID-19 disinfection protocols and procedures. Ottawa movers have over 10 years of experience and specialized equipment to protect furniture, including pianos.

Buying specialized moving boxes is also important this year, as many stores do not allow individuals to have used boxes due to the increased risk of contact. With the demand for movers increasing, Charbonneau recommends hiring a moving company 30-45 days in advance and being packed and ready to go at least three days before the move, which leaves plenty of time. to clean apartments and houses before any inspections or walkthroughs.

“Check out reviews of any company you hire,” Charbonneau encourages. “You want to make sure that not only is your belongings safe, but that you don’t pay more than what you were offered. We provide unparalleled service and transparent billing, and that’s why we have five-star reviews from hundreds of people.
