Professional packing services in Ottawa & Gatineau

Packing is the part of moving day most people underestimate. A full one-bedroom apartment is usually 30–45 boxes; a three-bedroom house can be 100+. Our crew packs a one-bedroom in roughly half a day and a three-bedroom in one to two days, depending on how much kitchenware, art, and fragile décor you have. Every job uses fresh materials — kraft boxes, dish-pack inserts, packing paper, bubble wrap, and clearly labeled tape — so unpacking at the new place is fast and stress-free.

Full pack, partial pack, or just the fragile stuff

You choose the scope. We commonly do three packages:

  • Full pack — every room, including closets and storage
  • Partial pack — kitchen, art, electronics and lamps only
  • Fragile-only pack — china, glassware, mirrors and TVs
  • Day-before pack so move day is just loading
  • Same-day pack + move for tight timelines
  • Unpacking and material removal on the other end

What's included with every packing job

All BEBA packing jobs include trained packers, fresh materials, and a written inventory if you want one. We bring wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, mattress bags for every bed in the home, and floor runners so we don't track in dirt. Crews are bilingual (English and French) and used to Ottawa walk-ups, condo elevator bookings, and Gatineau cross-river moves.

  • Small, medium and large kraft boxes
  • Dish-pack inserts for glassware and china
  • Packing paper and bubble wrap
  • Wardrobe boxes (rental) for hanging clothes
  • Mattress bags and TV blankets
  • Clear room-by-room labeling system

Tips to keep your packing quote low

A few small things make a big difference on the final bill. Declutter before packing day — donations and curb-side junk add up fast at $60–$80/hr. Pack your own books, linens, and clothes if you have time; leave the kitchen and the breakables to us, since those are where bad packing causes broken items and insurance claims. Group small electronics and cables into labeled freezer bags. And if you have a parking permit for the truck, lock that in early — the City of Ottawa requires a few business days' notice for residential parking blocks.

Frequently asked

Questions Ottawa movers actually get asked.

How much does packing cost in Ottawa?+

Pro packing in Ottawa typically runs $60–$80 per packer per hour, plus materials. A 1-bedroom apartment usually takes 3–5 hours with 2 packers. We can quote a flat rate after a 5-minute video walk-through or a free in-home estimate.

Do you supply boxes, tape and packing paper?+

Yes — we bring fresh kraft boxes in three sizes, dish-pack inserts, tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes, and mattress bags. You only pay for what we actually use.

Can you just pack the kitchen, or fragile items only?+

Absolutely. Most clients pack their own clothes and books, then have us handle the kitchen, glassware, art, lamps, and electronics. Partial packing is common and saves money.

How far in advance should I book packing?+

For a full pack we recommend booking 2–3 weeks ahead, especially May through September. Last-minute and same-week packing is often available outside peak season — just call.

Will you unpack at the new place too?+

Yes. Unpacking is offered as a separate hourly service. We place items room-by-room, remove all the empty boxes and packing paper, and recycle the materials for you.

Are my belongings insured during packing?+

Yes. All BEBA jobs are fully insured. We use clean blankets, dish-pack inserts and proper wrapping techniques so fragile items survive the truck ride and the stairs.
