What moving storage with TLC is
Moving storage is storage that comes with the movers. You don't rent a unit, hire a truck and fill it yourself. We pack your things, move them into storage, keep them there and deliver them to your new home when it's ready.
That's the difference from a self-storage facility, which gives you a unit and a key. We give you the move as well: we don't just store, we move, pack and deliver.
Why people book moving and storage together
Storage closes the gap when two dates don't line up. It helps with:
Closing dates that don't match
You have to leave the old home before the new one is ready.
Downsizing
Furniture needs somewhere to go while you decide what fits the smaller place.
Long-distance moves
Your things can wait in Ottawa until the new home far away is ready. See long-distance moving.
Office and business moves
Furniture, equipment or inventory can be stored during the transition. See office moving.
How moving and storage works
Four steps, and one company the whole way:
1. A free estimate
Tell us what's going into storage and roughly for how long.
2. Pack and load
We pack, wrap and load your things at the old home. See our packing services.
3. Store
Your belongings go into our storage for as long as you need, short or long term.
4. Deliver and set up
When the new place is ready, we bring everything over and put the furniture back together.
Our storage facility
Our storage takes household items, furniture, equipment and inventory, for homes and for businesses. The facility has a fire alarm and 24/7 CCTV, and we offer both short- and long-term storage.
Storage works alongside our other services: residential moving, long-distance moving and office moves.
What you shouldn't put in storage
Some things are unsafe in storage, and some are better kept with you:
Hazardous materials
Gasoline, propane, motor oil, antifreeze, car batteries, paint, cleaning products, fertilizers and fireworks.
Food
Any food attracts pests, and perishables rot and damage what's around them.
Plants and pets
A storage space has no daylight and little air.
Valuables and documents
Keep jewellery, cash, IDs, health records and important papers with you.
What Ottawa customers say about TLC
Emad was great to work with in the lead-up and even arranged to have moving supplies delivered to us ahead of our move. Amar, Dan and the rest of the team took great care moving our items, storing them for several days and moving them into our new home.

I’ve moved multiple times in the past few years and always hired this company because of their great service and extra care for my furniture!

Questions about moving with TLC
Can you store my furniture between homes?
Yes. That's what our moving and storage service is for. We move your things out, keep them in storage until your new home is ready, then deliver them and set up the furniture.
How long can I keep my things in storage?
We offer short- and long-term storage. Tell us your expected dates at the estimate, and we'll plan the move in and out around them.
Is moving storage the same as a self-storage unit?
No. With self-storage you rent a unit and do the moving yourself. With TLC, the movers pack, load, store and deliver, so you deal with one company from start to finish.
Do you store items for businesses?
Yes. We store furniture, equipment and inventory for businesses during a move or any other transition.
How secure is your storage?
Our storage facility has a fire alarm and 24/7 CCTV. Keep cash, jewellery, IDs and important documents with you rather than in storage.
