Moving Services
Moving Solutions
Darling Solutions is proud to offer our own moving services, using our own trucks and team! We feel that there is a certain sensitivity required, especially when providing senior moving services, and we recognize that our moving services reduce stress and ease the transition into a new dwelling.
We’ve been Ottawa movers since 2010, and Darling Solutions is unique in that 95% of our business comes from word-of-mouth referrals. Our entire team does their best to provide a red-carpet moving experience!
There is no extra charge for disassembly and reassembly of furniture, picture hanging, flights of stairs — our price is one hourly price, no hidden surprises. We charge from when our truck leaves the warehouse until it returns and we track time to the quarter hour, so your invoice is as accurate as possible.
Our moving trucks come prepared with all the necessary supplies, including: moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor runners, picture boxes, wardrobe boxes (for hanging clothes), tools for disassembly and reassembly of furniture, and more!

Our moving services are one hourly price, with no hidden fees. Our moving team will pack any large artwork in picture boxes, hanging clothing in wardrobe boxes, and lamps and shades in boxes or bins as appropriate.
The team will use moving blankets and stretch wrap to wrap and protect furniture before loading the truck. If there is furniture to be dissembled or reassembled, they will make every effort to accommodate provided that it is not overly complex or dangerous; please note that we will take wall-mounted televisions off the wall, but we do not remount TVs.
Once the truck is loaded, they will proceed to your new home, unload furniture, and then unwrap and arrange it where you want it.
Our moving trucks come stocked with basic supplies, including: tools, stretch wrap, moving blankets, moving dollies, bungee cords to secure furniture and boxes, straps for exceptionally heavy items. We also come equipped with tape gun and packing tape, mattress bags, picture boxes, wardrobe boxes (for hanging clothes!), and an assortment of boxes.
We provide mostly Ottawa moving services, but we move clients outside of Ottawa too - we'll do our best to get your things where they need to go!
Kindly call our office to discuss your needs - if we can't help you directly, we may be able to offer a referral.
