Furniture Storage in Ottawa: Protecting Your Pieces Between Homes

Furniture is often the hardest part of a move to plan around. It is bulky, it is valuable, and it does not tolerate careless handling or damp storage conditions.

A storage unit is only as good as the padding and wrapping around what's inside it. Ask whether your mover uses moving blankets, shrink wrap, and corner protectors as standard practice, or as an upsell.

Wood furniture, upholstery, and anything with veneer or finish can warp or crack in unheated storage over an Ottawa winter. If your furniture is staying in storage for more than a few weeks, climate control is worth the extra cost.
