Why Choose Ferguson Moving & Storage
At Ferguson, we believe in raising the standard for what a moving experience should be. It’s why we say we don’t just lift furniture, We Lift Expectations.
Ferguson has been moving Canadian families and businesses since 1916, and our crews work throughout Durham Region. Every Oshawa move comes with its own wrinkles. A century-old house on a tight downtown street, a student condo near Ontario Tech in Windfields and a brand-new detached home in Kedron each need a different plan for access, parking and timing, and we work through it with you before moving day.
Our team is trusted by homeowners, businesses, and partners across Oshawa and Durham Region because we focus on what matters most:
- Professional, experienced movers who know Oshawa’s neighbourhoods, from the lakeshore to the rural north end.
- Clear communication from your first quote to the final box.
- Care and attention to detail on every move.
- Reliable, transparent pricing with no surprises.

Moving in Oshawa takes local know-how
Lots of movers list Durham Region in their service area, but Oshawa has a character of its own: a historic downtown and established lakeside streets in the south, fast-growing subdivisions and a university district in the north, and open countryside past Highway 407. The type of home you’re leaving, and the one you’re moving into, changes how we plan the day.
We regularly handle moves in:
- Downtown, Central & O’Neill: Older brick homes, converted duplexes and condo buildings near Simcoe and King streets, where street parking is capped at three hours and most condo boards expect an elevator booking and a certificate of insurance before moving day.
- Windfields, Kedron, Taunton & Northwood: Newer north-end neighbourhoods of detached homes, townhouses and student-oriented condo towers close to Ontario Tech and Durham College, where busy closing days and end-of-term move-outs mean we confirm truck parking and arrival times early.
- Lakeview & the south end: Established streets between Lake Ontario and the Highway 401 corridor, with post-war bungalows, semis and narrow driveways that call for careful truck placement.
- Columbus, Raglan & the rural north: Farms, country homes and new growth areas north of Highway 407, with long laneways and rural roads where we choose the right truck and build realistic travel time into the schedule.
We sort out these details early so your move stays on schedule, without surprises.
Ferguson also moves households and businesses in nearby communities, including Whitby, Courtice, Bowmanville, Ajax, Pickering and Port Perry. Same crews, same trucks, same guaranteed price.
What makes moving in Oshawa unique?
Moving in Oshawa involves more than loading a truck. Older downtown streets, new suburban crescents and one of the busiest stretches of Highway 401 all shape how the day comes together.
- Parking and road use: City streets have a three-hour parking limit unless signs say otherwise. If the truck can’t use your driveway, the City of Oshawa requires a Road Occupancy Permit to occupy the road allowance, with applications due about four working days ahead on local streets and ten on arterial and collector roads. Regional roads such as Simcoe Street fall under Durham Region. Your Move Manager confirms which rules apply and builds the lead time into your plan.
- Traffic and timing: Highway 401 slows westbound toward Toronto on weekday mornings and eastbound in the late afternoon, and Simcoe Street, Harmony Road and Taunton Road fill up at peak times. Construction tied to the GO rail extension can also bring local closures. We schedule loading and driving around those pressure points, especially for moves into the city.
- Winter weather and spring load limits: From December 1 to April 1, overnight street parking is banned from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., and no one can park on the street while plows and salt trucks are working. From early March to the end of April, half-load limits of five tonnes per axle apply on signed City roads and on many Durham regional roads. We plan routes, trucks and equipment around both.
- From the lakeshore to the countryside: Oshawa runs from Lake Ontario up to rural Raglan north of Highway 407, so a move from Lakeview to a property near Columbus can take longer than people expect. We plan crew timing and truck loading to match.
Choosing experienced Oshawa movers means these details are sorted out before moving day begins.

Oshawa Moving FAQ
Do I need a parking permit for a moving truck in Oshawa?
Usually only if the truck has to sit on the street. Oshawa caps on-street parking at three hours unless signs say otherwise, so we load from your driveway or a private lot whenever we can. When the truck needs the road allowance, the City requires a Road Occupancy Permit with about four working days’ notice on local streets and ten on arterial and collector roads. Your Move Manager confirms what’s needed and arranges it ahead of moving day.
How do you handle elevator bookings in Oshawa condos?
We coordinate directly with your property manager to book the elevator and confirm your move-in or move-out time. Condo buildings downtown and near the Ontario Tech and Durham College campus often ask for advance notice, a deposit or a certificate of insurance, and we provide the paperwork and manage the scheduling for you.
Can you move me from Oshawa to another province?
Yes. Ferguson coordinates inter-provincial moves across Canada through our trusted partner, GCVL. Long-distance moves are priced differently from local moves. Rather than time and distance, the cost is based on the weight of your shipment. Your Move Manager will walk you through how that’s calculated and provide a quote based on the specifics of your move.
Do you offer storage for Oshawa moves?
Yes. We offer short-term and long-term storage at our GTA facility, with pickup from your Oshawa home or business. Storage is a practical option for staged moves, renovation gaps, or closing dates that don’t line up.
How do you handle winter moves in Oshawa?
Oshawa winters bring snow, freezing rain and slick driveways, and the City bans overnight street parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. between December 1 and April 1, as well as any time plows and salt trucks are out. Ferguson plans for these conditions on every winter move, with equipment for safe loading and unloading on icy surfaces, timing adjusted to the forecast, and a Team Leader on-site throughout to keep the crew and your belongings safe.
Do you move to and from Whitby, Clarington and the rest of Durham Region?
Yes. We cover all of Oshawa, from downtown and Lakeview to Windfields, Kedron and the rural north end, as well as nearby Whitby, Courtice, Bowmanville, Ajax, Pickering and Port Perry. Every move gets the same guaranteed price in writing before moving day.
How quickly can I get a price for my Oshawa move?
Most customers get their guaranteed price within 20 minutes of a video survey with a Move Manager. What we put in writing is guaranteed.
