RV Transport in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Bowmanville

The Durham Region area we cover

Durham is the most built up area we work in, and that changes the nature of the job. Out on the lakes the hard part is the last two kilometres of gravel. Down here the hard part is a 6.7 metre trailer, a suburban driveway, a parked car across the street and a by-law officer who has already had one complaint about it. The distances are short. The manoeuvring is not.

It also has the most layered rules of anywhere on this site. Durham Region sets its own weight restrictions and its own oversize permits on regional roads. Underneath that, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Clarington each set their own dates, their own building permit thresholds and, unusually, their own detailed rules about whether you are allowed to keep the trailer at your house at all. Those five sets of rules genuinely disagree with each other, and the disagreements are not trivial.

This page is written so you can find your own municipality and get the actual published rule, with the source named. Where a municipality does not publish something, that is written out plainly too, rather than filled in with a neighbour's number. There are four places on this page where the honest answer is that the figure is not published. We have left all four of them in.

Two road authorities, and the Highway 2 mistake

Nearly every Durham job runs on at least two different road authorities, and quite often three. Getting that wrong is the single most expensive mistake on an oversize move here, because a permit from the wrong authority is not a permit.

Highway 401 is the provincial spine, and Highway 407 East runs roughly 50 kilometres from Brock Road in Pickering to Highway 35/115 in Clarington, with two north to south freeway links joining it to the 401: the West Durham Link in Whitby and the East Durham Link in Clarington. Those are provincial roads and a Ministry of Transportation oversize permit is the right permit for them.

Here is the part that catches people. Highway 2 through Durham is not a provincial highway. It appears in the Region's own regional roads list as Regional Highway 2, running from the Rouge River east through Whitby, Oshawa and Bowmanville. The same is true of Highway 12 through Whitby, listed as Regional Highway 12, and of Highway 47, listed as Regional Highway 47. They are signed like provincial highways, they feel like provincial highways, and they are regional roads under the jurisdiction of the Region of Durham. A provincial oversize permit does not cover them.

What is actually toll free out here

Route cost is a real part of a transport quote, so it is worth being precise about which of these highways cost money.

Ontario permanently removed the tolls from the provincially owned Highway 407 East on June 1, 2025. The tolls on Highway 412 and Highway 418, the two north to south links, were permanently removed in April 2022. Those are settled facts published by the province.

What this page will not do is tell you exactly where the privately operated tolled section of the 407 ends and the toll free provincial section begins. That boundary is published by the toll operator on a site we could not read reliably, and an approximate answer on that question is worse than no answer, because it is the kind of thing people plan a route around. If your job hinges on it, confirm it with the operator directly.

Weight restriction season in Durham

Weight restrictions, also called half loads or reduced loads, are seasonal limits a road authority puts on its roads while frost is coming out of the ground. Under frost a road is stiff. As it thaws from the top down, meltwater is trapped above still frozen material and the road loses a large part of its load bearing capacity for several weeks. A loaded truck that does no harm at all in July will genuinely break a soft road in March.

In Durham this is layered rather than simple. The Region restricts regional roads under the Highway Traffic Act and Regional By-law 26-2018, at 5,000 kilograms or five tonnes per axle. Each local municipality separately restricts its own roads, on its own dates, under its own authority. Oshawa cites sections 110 and 122 of the Highway Traffic Act. Whitby cites its by-law 1718-84. Clarington cites the Highway Traffic Act alone. Ajax cites the Town of Ajax Traffic By-law without giving a number.

For a customer, the practical effect is that "are half loads on?" is not one question in Durham. It is a question about the specific road your unit has to come off, and then about every road between there and the highway.

The 2026 dates, municipality by municipality

Here is what each authority actually published for 2026, with what it says about weight and what it names as its authority. Read the notes column carefully. Two of these rows are incomplete for reasons that are the municipality's, not ours.

Two rows deserve an explanation rather than a footnote.

The Region of Durham row. The Region's own weight restriction season page confirms that the 2026 restrictions on regional roads ended at 12:01am on Friday May 1, and gives the five tonne figure and the by-law. It does not give a 2026 start date. A separate Durham news release states a March 1 start, but it carries no publication year, so we cannot tell you which year it describes. A second release with a March 9 headline exists in the Region's search index and returns an error when opened. Since Oshawa, Pickering and Clarington all independently published March 9, 2026, it is likely the Region's 2026 season started then too. Likely is not published, so this page does not state it as fact.

The Pickering row. Pickering's 2026 notice is clear about the dates, states that the actual end date will be determined following reviews of road and weather conditions, and confirms that signs will be erected on all City roads where the restrictions apply. It does not state a weight. It points readers to Schedule 12 for a list of full load highways, or to section 122 of the Highway Traffic Act. Five tonnes is the figure the Highway Traffic Act sets for a designated highway during a reduced load period, and it is the figure every one of Pickering's neighbours publishes, but Pickering itself has not printed it, so neither will we as a Pickering fact.

The Ajax page problem, and what we do about it

The Town of Ajax publishes a weight restrictions page. As it stands, it says restrictions will be enforced on all residential streets and the roads listed, tentatively starting February 28, 2018 to April 30, 2018. That is not a typo on our part. The current year dates are simply not there.

Two things on that page are still useful. It states the limit as a maximum of five tonnes per axle in accordance with the Town of Ajax Traffic By-law, and it states that weather conditions determine the actual start and end to the enforcement season, which is true everywhere in this region. What it does not give you is a date you can plan a March move around.

The Town's website is also mid migration between two different address structures, so it is possible the current page exists somewhere we did not find. Either way, our working practice for an Ajax job in March or April is to phone the Town and get the current dates from a person. We are not going to quote you 2018 dates as though they were live, and we are not going to hand you Whitby's dates with an Ajax label on them.

Load restricted roads and the exemption letter

Durham Region's oversize permit application makes a requirement that most people miss until it stops their application: applicants have to check the load restricted roads list, and an exemption letter is required if applicable.

That is worth reading twice, because it means the two systems are joined. Getting an oversize permit does not, by itself, get you onto a road that is under seasonal weight restriction. If your route crosses a restricted road during the season, you need the restriction dealt with separately, and the Region tells you so at the application stage rather than at the roadside.

The Region also notes that some permits require security deposits with a minimum of $1,000, and that if the weight exceeds Highway Traffic Act limits you must submit a weight distribution diagram. Neither of those is a formality. Both take time, which is the real argument for booking a spring move earlier than you think you need to.

Oversize and overweight permits in Durham

There are two permit systems you are most likely to meet here, and they belong to different authorities.

Region of Durham, for regional roads. A permit is required for a commercial vehicle carrying a load larger or heavier than the maximum limits in the Highway Traffic Act. The Region gives its oversize triggers as wider than 2.6 m, higher than 4.15 m, or longer than 23 m. Applications go through an online portal, and the Region asks you to allow ten business days to process. It describes what the permit covers as movement of oversized loads such as a house or large equipment. Contact is 311 within regional boundaries.

City of Oshawa, for city roads. A permit is required to move any oversize or overweight vehicle or load on any highway under the jurisdiction of the City, and separately whenever the axle or gross weight exceeds Highway Traffic Act limits. The dimensional triggers match the Region's: up to 2.60 m wide, 23 m long and 4.15 m high needs no permit, and above any of those it does. The fee is $154.50 plus tax, an annual permit is valid for 12 months from issue, and the City asks for 10 to 15 business days before the requested start date.

Oshawa also has the strictest published insurance requirement of anywhere on this site: a minimum of $5,000,000 automobile liability and a minimum of $5,000,000 commercial general liability, with the City named as an additional insured, and a certificate of insurance submitted with the application. Applications go through Service Oshawa.

Escorts, and the widths and lengths that trigger them

A police escort is the part of an oversize move that turns a scheduling problem into a budget problem, so it is worth knowing exactly where the line sits before you assume your unit is anywhere near it. Two authorities in Durham publish thresholds, and they do not read the same way.

The Region of Durham keeps it short. Its published escort triggers on regional roads are a load longer than 45.75 m or wider than 5.00 m. Below that, the permit stands on its own.

The City of Oshawa publishes a tiered table for city roads, which is more useful because it tells you what happens in the middle of the range rather than only at the top.

Read the width column against a real unit and the picture calms down quickly. A travel trailer or fifth wheel built to the common highway width sits under 2.60 m and needs no permit at all on width. A park model or a mobile home that measures somewhere in the 3 m to 3.9 m range across its widest point lands in the second band, which is a permit and no escort. You have to be moving something genuinely unusual, a double wide section or a very wide commercial structure, before the escort bands start applying. In practice we book far more permits than escorts.

Length is the one people misjudge, because they measure the trailer instead of the combination. The Oshawa bands are stated for the load, and the Highway Traffic Act limit that sits underneath them, section 109(7), is 23 m for a combination of vehicles. Truck plus hitch plus unit is what counts. A long fifth wheel behind a crew cab dually can eat more of that 23 m than an owner expects, though it is still rare for a single recreational unit to push a combination past it.

Height is where the published table stops being helpful, and we say so rather than filling the gap. Oshawa publishes bands up to 4.60 m and we did not find what applies above that on city roads. If your unit measures over 4.60 m loaded, that is a phone call to Service Oshawa at 905-436-3311 before anything gets booked, not a guess.

One provincial detail that applies no matter whose road you are on: section 110(6) of the Highway Traffic Act requires that the original of the permit be carried in the vehicle. A photograph of it on a phone is not what the section says. The penalty range for moving without the permit the section requires runs from a minimum of $200 to a maximum of $20,000, which is a striking spread and a good reason to sort the paperwork out in advance rather than at the roadside.

Whose road are you on

This is the table we work from ourselves. It answers the question that actually decides the permit.

The reason we labour this point is that a single Durham job routinely touches three rows of that table. A fifth wheel coming out of a Bowmanville subdivision, along Regional Highway 2, and onto the 401 has been on a municipal road, a regional road and a provincial highway inside twenty minutes. If it is oversize, that is potentially three separate permissions.

Where you can legally keep an RV at home in Durham

This section exists because Durham is different. In most of the areas we serve, the question of whether you can park your trailer at your own house is either unregulated in practice or buried in a zoning by-law nobody has read. In Durham, four of the five municipalities publish something specific, and what they publish does not agree.

We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. What follows is what each municipality has published, attributed, with the gaps marked. Confirm with your own municipality before you rely on it, because several of these are under active review.

Clarington publishes the most detail of anywhere

Clarington is the most transparent municipality in the region on this, and if you are in Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle or Orono it is worth knowing exactly what it says.

• Urban residential zones: parking or storing more than one RV or trailer on a private property is not permitted.
• Rural areas: parking or storing more than three RVs or trailers on private property is not permitted, except by a site specific amendment to the zoning by-law.
• Driveways: an RV or trailer longer than 5.5 m or higher than 2.4 m cannot be parked on a driveway for more than 120 hours in one calendar month, and must maintain a minimum 0.5 m setback to the street.
• Side and rear yards, urban residential: an RV or trailer may be parked or stored there provided it does not exceed six metres in length or 2.9 m in height.
• Commercial storage: outdoor recreational vehicle storage is a permitted use in the General Industrial M2 zone and certain exception zones.

Look at the driveway rule again, because it is the one that surprises people. A 24 foot travel trailer is over 5.5 m. On Clarington's published rule it can sit in the driveway for 120 hours in a calendar month, which is five days, and then it has to be somewhere else. For a lot of Clarington households the side yard limit of six metres and 2.9 m in height is the constraint that decides whether the unit can live at home at all, and plenty of fifth wheels are taller than 2.9 m.

Pickering, front yard and back yard

Pickering publishes a clean set of four numbers, split between the front yard and the side or rear yard.

The front yard height limit of 2.6 m is the one that catches RV owners. Very few travel trailers and almost no fifth wheels are under 2.6 m tall with the air conditioner on the roof. In practice that pushes most units to the side or rear yard, where the allowance is a much more workable 8.0 m by 3.5 m, and where the one metre setback from the neighbours becomes the binding constraint on a narrow suburban lot.

One honest caveat. Pickering does not cite a by-law number for any of this. We checked its Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05 and confirmed the provisions are not in there, which means they most likely sit in the zoning by-law. Pickering is also partway through a comprehensive zoning by-law project with draft documents already published, so these numbers are a live target.

Ajax, and a sentence worth reading twice

Ajax is the one municipality in Durham where we will give you the text and decline to interpret it.

Section 5.8 of Ajax Zoning By-law 95-2003, in the March 2026 consolidation, provides that the parking or storage of boats, trailers or any vehicle that does not have current licence plates is not permitted in any Residential Zone, or on any lot in a Downtown Central Area Zone or Village Core Mixed Use Zone used for residential purposes, unless wholly located within a private garage, and provided that such storage does not occupy a parking space otherwise required by the by-law.

That sentence supports two different readings. On the first, boats and trailers are prohibited outright in residential zones unless they are entirely inside a garage. On the second, the unplated qualifier carries across all three items, so only boats, trailers and vehicles without current plates are caught. The section heading is "Parking of Inoperative Vehicles", which points toward the second reading. The words themselves read more like the first.

We also confirmed that Ajax Traffic By-law 45-2020 contains no RV or trailer residential storage provisions at all, and that section 4 of the zoning by-law, the general provisions, does not either. So section 5.8 is the operative text, and its meaning is genuinely ambiguous.

If you are in Ajax and this decides whether you keep the trailer at home, the only sensible step is to ask Ajax Planning to tell you which reading they enforce, in writing. It is a five minute call that settles a question no website can settle for you, including this one.

Whitby, where the numbers are not published

Whitby confirms in its own plain language by-law guide for residents that vehicles are not permitted to be parked on front lawns, that they cannot park on lawns in the backyard or side yard unless it is a stable surface, and that vehicles and trailers have maximum length and height restrictions in residential areas. What the guide does not do is give you the numbers or a by-law reference.

Behind that guide, Whitby Zoning By-law 1784 does have a section 6.2 titled "Parking of Recreational Vehicles and Trailers in Residential Zones". Two of its subsections appear in a Town published parking study from January 2021. Subsection (a) provides that a recreational vehicle or trailer parked or stored on a lot shall be owned by the occupant of that lot, which is clear enough and worth knowing on its own if you are storing a friend's trailer.

The other visible subsection gives the only numeric pair Whitby has published in this area, and it is narrower than it looks. It permits a trailer owned by the occupant, used by that occupant on a daily basis for employment and to earn a living, to be parked in the front yard or exterior side yard, provided it does not exceed 4.0 m in length excluding the hitch or tongue and 2.6 m in height. That is a work trailer provision, not the general recreational vehicle limit. Do not read the 4.0 m figure as the size cap on your travel trailer. It is not, and we have seen it quoted that way.

Two further complications. Whitby applies three different zoning by-laws across the Town, 2585 for Downtown Whitby, 1784 for the former Township, and 5581-05 for the Oak Ridges Moraine, so a rule from one may not apply to your lot. And the trailer and boat storage section of by-law 2585 was repealed and replaced by an amendment whose text we could not retrieve, because the Town's document server returned an error. Whitby's actual current numeric limits for recreational vehicles are, as far as we can establish from published sources, not publicly stated. Call the Town.

One Whitby rule is unambiguous and often more relevant than any of the above: the Town's consolidated traffic by-law 8059-24 provides that no person shall park a trailer on any street in any residential zone unless it is at that time being used to make a delivery or provide a service. If your plan for delivery day is to leave the unit at the curb overnight, that plan does not work in Whitby.

Oshawa, and the section we could not read

Oshawa is the anchor city of this region and it is also, frustratingly, the place where we have the biggest documented gap. We are telling you about the gap rather than papering over it.

What is confirmed is Oshawa's Unauthorized Parking By-law 97-2009, as amended by by-laws 13-2010, 49-2016, 43-2022 and 127-2022. It prohibits parking, standing or stopping a vehicle in an unauthorized area, and prohibits permitting someone else to do so. It defines an unauthorized area as a front yard, side yard or exterior side yard, except as otherwise permitted under the City's zoning by-law, or an unsurfaced area. Its definition of "vehicle" is broad and expressly includes motor homes, recreational vehicles, boats and trailers.

Read on its own, that by-law says a trailer in an Oshawa front yard or on an unsurfaced area is a problem, with the exception carved out for whatever the zoning by-law permits. Which sends you straight to the zoning by-law.

Two further Oshawa by-laws were checked and are not relevant to this question: the Traffic and Parking By-law 79-99 and the Lot Maintenance By-law 127-2007 contain no provisions about trailers, RVs, boats, campers or motor homes on residential property. So section 4.20 really is the operative text.

Sheds and decks, four municipalities, four thresholds

If we are moving a deck or a shed along with the trailer, or you are building something new once the unit is set, the permit threshold is local. Here is what each municipality publishes.

Whitby is the outlier worth noticing. Its shed allowance of 15 square metres is 50 percent larger than the 10 square metre threshold used by Oshawa, Clarington and Pickering, but that larger allowance applies only to a shed accessory to a dwelling. Any other accessory structure in Whitby is back to 10 square metres.

Whitby also publishes useful siting rules alongside the threshold: accessory structures in residential zones generally must not exceed 4.5 m in height, are only permitted in a side yard or back yard, must be set back a minimum of 0.6 m from any interior or rear lot line, and eaves and roof overhangs may encroach into that setback by a maximum of 0.3 m.

Pickering publishes a comparable set: total lot coverage of all accessory buildings and structures, excluding detached garages, must not exceed five percent of the total lot area, they are to be located in the back yard, structures over 10 square metres or taller than 1.8 m need a one metre setback from all neighbouring property lines while smaller and shorter ones need 0.6 m, nothing in a residential area may exceed 3.5 m in height, and human habitation is not permitted in any accessory building or structure.

Clarington adds one line that applies no matter how small the deck is: all decks must comply with the zoning by-law provisions, regardless of size or height. A deck can be permit exempt and still be in the wrong place.

Darlington, and camping inside Durham Region

Durham has one provincial park, and it is a genuinely good one for larger units.

Darlington Provincial Park is at 1600 Darlington Park Road in Bowmanville. Ontario describes it as sitting on the north shore of Lake Ontario in Durham Region, immediately adjacent to the eastern boundary of the City of Oshawa. The park covers 209 hectares, of which 114 are land and 95 are water. The figures below are Ontario Parks' own.

Camping is spread across three campgrounds, Lakeside, Cliffside and Hilltop. All of the sites in Lakeside offer electrical service, as do a number of sites in Cliffside and Hilltop. Ontario Parks states there are sites to accommodate all types of camping equipment from tents to large RVs and trailers, which combined with 100 pull through sites makes Darlington one of the easier provincial parks in our whole service area to get a big unit into.

Two practical notes. The two group campsites do not permit trailers, so a group booking is not a way around a busy weekend with a fifth wheel. And Darlington publishes no maximum trailer length, which is not the same as saying anything fits. Ontario Parks lets you reserve by trailer size across the system in bands of up to 18, 25 and 32 feet and over 32 feet, and notes that a few parks cannot accommodate trailers over 32 feet, so book by your real length rather than your hopeful one.

If you are looking further afield, Emily Provincial Park at Omemee publishes the strongest statement about large units of any park near us, but it is in the City of Kawartha Lakes rather than Durham. We cover it on the Kawartha Lakes page.

Urban driveways, tight lots and the 401 corridor

The physical job in Durham is different from the physical job on a lake road, and it is worth setting expectations honestly.

What makes a Durham move hard is rarely the route. It is the last fifty feet. Suburban driveways here are often narrower than they look, frequently have a retaining wall or a garden bed on one side, and back onto a street where cars park on both sides. Newer subdivisions in north Oshawa, Brooklin and north Pickering tend to have wider lots and better turning room. Older parts of Whitby, central Oshawa and south Ajax do not.

A one ton dually with a gooseneck is much more manoeuvrable than a tractor trailer, which is the reason we can do this work at all in a subdivision. But we still need somewhere to swing the truck, and the honest answer on some lots is that the unit has to be walked in from the street with a spotter, or that we need a neighbour's driveway clear for ten minutes.

Timing matters here more than anywhere else we work. The 401 corridor through Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa is not a road you want to be towing a wide unit on at 4:30 on a Thursday. Our arrival windows in Durham are honest ranges, and when we can we schedule the tight residential jobs mid morning, when the street is emptiest and there is light to work with.

When a Durham booking actually moves

Three things move a date here, and only one of them is weather.

Weight restrictions. March and April are the constrained months, and because the region has six overlapping authorities with different dates, a route can be legal on one leg and not on another. This is the most common cause of a spring reschedule.

Permit lead times. Ten business days at the Region, and 10 to 15 business days at Oshawa, are not padding. If your move is oversize and you call us with four days' notice in April, the constraint is the permit office, not our calendar.

Site readiness. A pad that is not poured, a deck that is not off, a gate that is too narrow, a park that has not signed off. In Durham this often ties back to a building permit that has not been issued yet, which is exactly why the threshold tables above are on this page.

None of those is a reason to panic. All three are reasons to call earlier than you think you need to. There is no deposit to hold a date with us, so booking early costs you nothing and buys you room.

What we do across Durham Region

Six services, all run by the same family with the same trucks. Most Durham jobs are one of the first three.

• RV transport. Travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers and campers, moved between homes, dealerships, storage and campgrounds. Local tows from $400.
• Mobile home and park model moving. The permit heavy end of the work, and where the Region and Oshawa oversize processes usually come into play.
• Levelling and blocking. Setting a unit level and properly supported once it is where it needs to be, backed by the 30 day workmanship guarantee.
• Deck and shed moving. Lifting and relocating decks and sheds whole, on the same visit where we can.
• RV storage. Outdoor storage on a fenced property, $85 to $125 a month depending on size, with tow in and tow out.
• RV rentals. Delivered and set up on your site, so you are not towing it yourself.

Levelling and blocking on a Durham lot

Levelling in Durham is mostly a question of what is underneath. On a poured driveway or a proper gravel pad the job is straightforward and the result is stable. On grass, on fill behind a newer build, or on the soft edge of a driveway apron, it is not, and a unit that reads level on day one can walk on you by August.

We block on stable, load spreading material, we check level along the frame rather than off the floor, and we tell you when the ground under the unit is the actual problem rather than the blocking. On newer subdivision lots, where the yard is often recently placed fill that has not fully settled, this comes up regularly and it is better said before the job than after.

The levelling and blocking page goes through the method properly, including what the guarantee does and does not cover.

Storage when you cannot keep it at home

Everywhere else on this site, storage is mostly about winter. In Durham it is very often about the by-law.

Put the rules on this page together and a real pattern appears. In an urban residential zone in Clarington you may keep one unit. In a Pickering front yard you are capped at 2.6 m in height, which most trailers exceed. In Ajax the operative zoning sentence may prohibit trailers outside a garage entirely. In Whitby you cannot leave it on the street. In Oshawa the front yard, side yard and any unsurfaced area are out unless the zoning by-law permits otherwise. For a great many Durham households, there is simply no compliant place on their own lot for a 28 foot trailer.

That is what our storage service is for. Outdoor storage on a fenced property, $85 to $125 a month depending on size, and we can tow the unit in at the end of the season and back out again in spring so you never have to hitch it yourself. Details are on the RV storage page.

What a Durham Region move costs

Local tows start at $400. Short Durham runs, a house to a storage yard, a dealership to a driveway, a site to a site inside the same town, generally sit at the low end because the distance is short.

What moves a Durham quote up is rarely mileage. It is the permit and the access. An oversize move that needs a Region permit at ten business days, or an Oshawa permit at $154.50 plus tax and 10 to 15 business days, carries that time and cost. A driveway that needs a spotter, a street that needs a temporary clearance, or a unit that has to be repositioned twice takes labour.

Levelling and blocking is quoted separately at $799 for a full set up, and storage runs $85 to $125 a month depending on size. There is no deposit to book. The RV transport cost guide breaks the pricing down across the whole of Ontario if you want the full picture before you call.

When to book

The busiest weeks in Durham are late April into June, when everything that waited out the weight restriction season goes at once, and then September into late October when the seasonal sites close and the storage runs start. If you want a specific week in either of those windows, three to four weeks of notice is realistic.

If your move is oversize, work backwards from the permit rather than from the calendar. Ten business days at the Region, 10 to 15 at Oshawa, plus whatever time it takes you to get a certificate of insurance and, where the weight requires it, a weight distribution diagram together. That is the real lead time, and it is longer than most people assume.

Out of season, in the middle of winter or the quiet part of summer, we can often be there inside a week. There is no deposit, so there is no cost to booking early and no penalty if the date has to shift.

How to get the quote right the first time

The more of this you can tell us up front, the closer the first number will be to the final one.

• Both addresses, and which municipality each is in. In Durham this decides which permit office and which set of rules applies, and Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and Clarington genuinely differ.
• Make, model and year of the unit. Or the length, width and height and a rough weight if you have it. Height matters more than people expect.
• Photos of the way in at both ends. The street, the driveway entrance, the tightest point, and anything overhead. Photos settle in thirty seconds what a phone description cannot settle in ten minutes.
• Whether there is a deck, shed, skirting or utilities attached. If it is coming with you, or has to come off first, we would rather plan it than discover it.
• Your date, and how much it can move. A firm closing date is a different job from a flexible one, especially in March and April.

Send it all through the contact page or call and we will talk it through. We would rather spend ten minutes on this than turn up to a job that cannot be done that day.

Our 30 day guarantee

It covers our workmanship for 30 days. If a unit we levelled and blocked shifts or moves because of how we did the job, we come back and redo it at no charge. What it does not cover is weather and ground conditions, and we would rather tell you that before the job than argue about it afterwards.

On newer Durham subdivision lots that distinction comes up more often than average, because a lot of those yards are recently placed fill. If we think the ground under a unit is going to move regardless of how well we block it, we say so at the time and we write it down, so nobody is surprised later.

Nearby areas we also cover

Durham sits in the middle of most of our service area, so a job that starts here very often ends somewhere on this list.

Beyond those we also work in Barrie, Muskoka, Collingwood and Wasaga Beach, and we take long distance work across Ontario and into the rest of Canada. A unit coming out of an Oshawa driveway and going to a seasonal site four hours north is a completely normal job for us.
