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 Pickering move has its own wrinkles. A tower suite at Universal City, a new build in Seaton and a country property near Claremont each come with different access, parking and timing needs, and we work through them with you well before moving day.
Our team is trusted by homeowners, businesses, and partners across Pickering and Durham Region because we focus on what matters most:
- Professional, experienced movers who know Pickering, from the lakeshore to the rural north, and the wider Durham Region.
- 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 Pickering takes local know-how
Lots of movers put Durham Region on their service map, but Pickering covers a lot of ground: lakefront streets near Frenchman’s Bay, a City Centre filling in with condo towers, the fast-growing Seaton community in the middle and a quiet rural north around Claremont. The type of home at each end of your move shapes the entire plan.
We regularly handle moves in:
- City Centre & Universal City: High-rise living around Pickering Town Centre and the GO station, including the Universal City towers near Bayly Street, with more planned for the Pickering City Centre site. These buildings usually expect a booked elevator, set move hours and a certificate of insurance before the crew starts.
- Bay Ridges, West Shore, Liverpool & Amberlea: Established neighbourhoods on both sides of Highway 401 with detached homes, semis and townhouses on mature streets, where we confirm truck placement and the City’s three-hour street limit before the day arrives.
- Seaton & Duffin Heights: New subdivisions of freehold townhomes and detached houses in north-central Pickering, where several closings can land on the same street on the same day, so we lock in parking and arrival times early.
- Claremont, Brougham, Whitevale & the rural north: Hamlets, heritage homes, estate lots and farm properties with long driveways and country roads, and travel time we plan for rather than estimate on the day.
We sort out these details early so your move stays on schedule, without surprises.
Ferguson also moves households and businesses in nearby communities, including Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Uxbridge, Markham and Scarborough. Same crews, same trucks, same guaranteed price.
What makes moving in Pickering unique?
A move in Pickering involves more than loading a truck. Lakeside streets, growing subdivisions and Highway 401 traffic all play into how the day gets planned.
- Parking and road use: City streets have a three-hour parking limit unless signs say otherwise, and the City’s parking exemptions aren’t available for commercial vehicles. When the driveway isn’t an option, your Move Manager confirms with the City whether a Road Occupancy Permit is required (applications need at least seven days’ notice) and plans around that timeline.
- Traffic and timing: Highway 401 through Pickering, along with Brock Road, Liverpool Road, Whites Road and Kingston Road, backs up with commuters on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and work around the Brock Road and Highway 401 bridge adds its own delays. We schedule loading and drive time around the busiest stretches, especially for moves into Toronto.
- Winter weather and spring load limits: From December 1 to March 31, overnight street parking is not allowed from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., and streets must be clear during snow removal. Each spring, Durham Region also restricts heavy vehicles on designated Regional roads, typically from early March to the end of April. We plan routes, trucks and equipment with both in mind.
- Distance between communities: Pickering spans about 231 square kilometres, from the Lake Ontario shoreline to the farms and hamlets north of Highway 7, so a move from Bay Ridges to a property near Claremont takes longer than many people assume. We plan crew timing and truck loading to fit.
Choosing experienced Pickering movers means these details are taken care of before moving day starts.

Pickering Moving FAQ
Do I need a parking permit for a moving truck in Pickering?
Usually not, as long as the truck can use your driveway or a private lot, which is always our first choice. City streets have a three-hour parking limit, and the City doesn’t grant parking exemptions to commercial vehicles. If the truck, a container or our equipment has to occupy the road or boulevard, your Move Manager confirms with the City whether a Road Occupancy Permit is required and arranges it at least seven days ahead.
How do you handle elevator bookings in Pickering condos?
Ferguson coordinates directly with your property manager to book the elevator and lock in your move-in or move-out time. Pickering condo buildings, from Universal City to the towers near Pickering Town Centre, commonly require advance notice, a deposit or a certificate of insurance, and we provide the documents and manage the scheduling for you.
Can you move me from Pickering 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 Pickering moves?
Yes. We offer short-term and long-term storage at our GTA facility, with pickup from your Pickering 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 Pickering?
Pickering winters bring snow, freezing rain and icy driveways, with blowing snow on open rural roads in the north end, and overnight street parking is prohibited from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. between December 1 and March 31. 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 Ajax, Whitby and the rest of Durham Region?
Yes. We cover all of Pickering, from Bay Ridges and the City Centre to Seaton, Brougham and Claremont, as well as nearby Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Uxbridge and Markham. Every move gets the same guaranteed price in writing before moving day.
How quickly can I get a price for my Pickering 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.
