Local move

Im so glad I picked this company! Getting a quote and I always got an answer to any questions or concerns very quickly, all the way up to the move.

The day of the move turned out to be the first snow of the year, and I was worried it was going to delay everything a lot. But the team anticipated the traffic and left early so the delay was minimal, and once they got to my place, they worked like a well oiled machine!

I couldnt get a box for my TV, so they wrapped it in a lot of blankets. Not a scratch on it or any of the furniture. And they disassembled and reassembled my bed in record time.

If you want your move to be done right, Id say this is for sure the best choice!

Residential Move

We had a great experience with First Rate Movers Inc. This was our fourth move in Ottawa and the best one. Everything went smoothly. The crew arrived on time, and they were extremely careful with our belongings. They were efficient, friendly and well-organized. Matt Guest, the owner of the company, was very professional. We contacted him a couple of times before and after the move and he was responsive and very helpful. I would highly recommend First Rate Movers.

MOVING COMPANY

Very pleased with my move with this excellent, very professional company. I had been tricked before by others. This company is honest, on time, offers fair rates, has cheerful helpful staff. I was terrified given past experiences, but no need to worry with Matt. Thank you Matt!!

Moving a Computer Hutch

Needed a large, heavy and cumbersome computer hutch moved from a basement bedroom to a 2nd floor studio. With all the staircase twists and turns, it was a near-impossible fit -- if anything I'm understating how awkward this was. Somehow the guys managed to persevere and hefted that beast of a hutch all the way up without scratching our floors, denting ceilings or walls, damaging the hutch and (frankly, most important) hurting themselves! I was tremendously impressed and really glad that we'd gone with a really reputable firm to take care of such a difficult job.

Local Move - Ottawa to Smiths Falls

First Rate Movers came highly recommended by our son after they took care his move in September.

They arrived on time, quickly took stock of the set up and started their day.

Wes, Cody and Zak worked hard while still being extremely careful with our belongings. Nearly all our furniture was blanket wrapped.

Our new home was a century home with its challenges. Their vast experience enabled them to quickly overcome every challenge. We were so impressed and learned some tricks ourselves. Their teamwork was amazing!

Their rates were reasonable and we highly recommend First Rate Movers to anyone considering a move.

First Rate Movers - A Professional crew

The crew that did my move was courteous, professional. Although working on a hourly rate, they hustled and yet were meticulous and ensured that everything was wrapped up properly and loaded without damaged to the house or the furniture.

I did numerous moved and this was by far the best one I had.

It is easy to see why this company is called "First Rate" Movers, and why they have an A+ rating with The Better Business Bureau
From the initial call with the owner to the completion of our move, we were extremely pleased. They actually made moving an enjoyable experience . It reduced our stress, when we saw how professional and efficient the movers were, in padding and wrapping everything to prevent any damage
The team were also polite and pleasant in answering any questions or concerns we had
It's a pleasure to recommend this company

Exceptional Service

Just moved August 13, 2019 and was thoroughly impressed with the service. Some furniture that I should have disassembled was done so by the movers without question. They then reassembled at the new home again without question. The move out of the old house and into the new was very organized and left no damage to either our stuff or the homes. This was exactly the stress free service I was hoping for which they provided beyond expectation. They worked extremely hard, without taking a lunch, and finished well ahead of the estimated time. Very, very pleased with this service where I would highly recommend First Rate Movers
