Why Almaguin Highlands Needed Its Own Moving Company

For years, residents of the Almaguin Highlands faced an impossible choice: attempt DIY moves with rental trucks and recruited friends, or pay premium rates for North Bay companies to “travel out” to our area. Those days are over.

Four years ago, my wife and I left Southern Ontario’s congestion for the peace of the Almaguin Highlands. After working in Powassan, I discovered what you probably already know—finding reliable movers between North Bay and Huntsville was nearly impossible. Our communities deserved better. That’s when Near North Movers was born, in Trout Creek.

With eight years of professional moving experience from Southern Ontario and a genuine love for our region’s unique character—from historic Burk’s Falls buildings to remote Magnetawan cottages—I built this moving company specifically for Almaguin Highlands residents. We’re not a North Bay company that occasionally serves your area. We’re your local moving company, headquartered in the heart of the Almaguin Highlands.

Complete Moving Services for Almaguin Highlands Communities

Residential Moving Throughout Almaguin

Your Almaguin Highlands moving company understands the difference between moving in downtown Sundridge versus relocating a cottage on Doe Lake. 

Commercial Moving for Local Businesses

Almaguin Highlands businesses deserve a moving company that understands our local economy. We've relocated retail shops along Highway 11, moved professional offices in downtown Burk's Falls, and helped Powassan businesses expand.

White Glove Service for Almaguin's Treasures

The Almaguin Highlands holds countless treasures—antique furnishings from original settlement families, grand pianos in Magnetawan estates, artwork inspired by our pristine landscapes.

Load and Unload Service for DIY Movers

Sometimes Almaguin Highlands residents rent their own truck but need professional help with the heavy lifting. Our moving company provides experienced crews for loading and unloading, bringing all necessary equipment to protect your belongings.

Professional Packing Services

Our Almaguin Highlands moving company provides complete packing services using professional-grade materials designed for Northern Ontario conditions.

Logistics Solutions Across the Region

As the Almaguin Highlands' dedicated moving company, we provide logistics solutions other companies won't touch. Regular runs between our communities and larger centers like North Bay, Huntsville, and even Toronto. 

Why Choose an Almaguin Highlands Moving Company

We Know These Roads

Every season brings different challenges to Almaguin Highlands moves. We know which cottage roads become impassable during spring thaw, where cell service drops out requiring careful coordination, and how to time moves around local events like Burk’s Falls Fair or Sundridge Sunflower Festival. This isn’t theoretical knowledge—it’s daily experience.

Local Relationships Matter

As your Almaguin Highlands moving company, we maintain relationships throughout our communities. We know the property managers, work with local storage facilities, and coordinate with businesses across the region. When you need elevator access in Powassan’s senior buildings or have questions about Sundridge storage options, we have the connections to help.

Fair Pricing for Rural Moves

Other companies charge travel premiums to serve the Almaguin Highlands. As your local moving company, our prices reflect actual costs, not arbitrary distance fees. We’re based here, equipped here, and committed to providing affordable moving services to our neighbours.

Weather-Ready Every Season

Our moving company operates year-round through everything Almaguin weather delivers. January blizzards that close Highway 11? We’re prepared. July heat waves during cottage season? We stay hydrated and keep working. October rain on narrow cottage roads? We have the equipment and experience to manage safely.
