Moving services

I recently moved from Russell to Orleans and used First Rate Movers. I found this company after doing research on movers, and after I found First Rate Movers, I just knew I HAD to use them. I did and they did not disappoint! This has been my best moving experience ever, with the best possible crew ever. Everything was handled in an extremely professional/courteous manner, from start to finish. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Great Experience

Moving Day was the best and least stressful part of the entire, months-long moving process. The four-man crew (Wes, Cody, Donald and Adam) were prompt, worked quickly, were careful, and were courteous and cheerful. We would not hesitate to use First Rate Movers again or to recommend the company to others. The Harveys

Move from Aylmer QC to Wakefield QC

We really appreciated the professionalism and the positive and good natured manner of the movers (i.e. Wes, Adam, Cody and Donald). They worked quickly and efficiently, and were very careful with our belongings. There were no casualties, and all the boxes etc were placed in the right rooms at the end. Despite being harassed by people in cars who couldn't get past the truck, and a visit from the local police due to the blockage, they never lost their cool. A move can often be stressful but they made it quite pleasant.

Move out of a three storey townhouse into storage, and then 7 months later into our new bungalow on a bitterly cold day.

The guys were super efficient, cheerful, conscientious and professional. They made our move a much more pleasant than moves we have previously experienced.

Moving

Matt, the owner provided us an accurate quote based on the information we provided. First rate movers did a wonderful job moving us from a townhouse into a bungalow. The 4 man crew worked efficiently and Jesse (onsite supervisor) kept us informed of the progress. All furniture and goods were properly wrapped and in perfect condition upon arrival and placed where requested. Even though we had ample insurance, they guys were extremely careful, and we did not encounter any issues. Our move ended up spanning over 2 days (unexpectantly due to the sheer volume of large pieces of furniture and household goods - this is not a reflection of the crew, we just had too much stuff!)) and lucky for us the crew and truck were available. Jesse contacted Matt and took care of rescheduling part of the crew for the next day. We could not be happier with the work of this moving company and crew. We highly recommend them to anyone moving, regardless of how big or small your move it. Great job guys!!
