First Rate Movers Inc - Ottawa, Ontario

We recently used First Rate Movers, and the service we received was nothing short of impeccable, from beginning to end. We received a detailed cost estimate, and our move was completed for less than the amount quoted. The movers arrived on time and were very quick and efficient. They took care to protect our belongings, and everything arrived at the destination in perfect condition. These are professional movers who obviously take great pride in the work they do. We highly recommend them!

Matt and the team did a great job with my move in August 2024. This was the second time I had hired them but the first time they had to get a king-sized mattress up a flight of stairs with a 90-degree bend halfway, which I'm convinced would have killed lesser men.

They were professional, friendly, hard-working, took great care with all my belongings, and I also used their packing service this time, which I was really impressed by. I'm hoping not to have to move again anytime soon but if I do they'll be my first call. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Really live up to their name!!
We originally had another potential mover lined up but were concerned about having just random people hired off the street move our stuff. We found First Rate Movers and saw they were highly rated and had actual professional movers in their staff. I was VERY impressed! they were very friendly, and worked quickly, making sure EVERY piece of furniture we had was safely wrapped and packed. they finished before their minimum time requirement slot and even offered to move furniture around in our house to make up the extra time. we didn't need them to but were happy to let them keep the extra money anyway. They are worth it.

Will recommend to anyone looking for quality movers, and will hire them again if i move in the future

thank you for helping us get set up in our first home

Second to none service! I was so impressed with First Rate Movers and I'd highly recommend them. Matt was great to work with and very responsive. On moving day, the crew showed up on time. From start to finish, they were polite, considerate and careful. Nothing was damaged. They helped make a stressful event go as smoothly as possible - I could relax knowing I had chosen a professional, reputable company. The crew also showed amazing hustle and work ethic.
For anyone packing themselves, I recommend using the standard moving boxes as much as possible (as they recommended). We had used some large bins and irregular boxes while staging the house and it slowed the crew down a bit since they were harder to carry and didn't pack as neatly in the truck. I also would've disassembled my bedframes to save them some time (although the crew was happy to do it).
Overall - great experience! Thank you!

The team from First Rate Movers did a great job with our move that involved a few complications. They listened intently to the goals for the day and made thoughtful recommendations for the best possible results. They were cheerful and fun to have around for the day. They went the extra mile to get the job done. They were careful with the furniture and very good at taking it apart with care. I would highly recommend them!

This moving company was referred/ recommended to me by a friend and after having done my due diligence I am happy to have booked them for my move.
Though delayed by traffic, Aaron and Matt on arrival at the first location jumped right into it- and kept us on schedule.
They were very easy to communicate/ work with, super personable, reliable and polite. Additionally, they took care with my items and all arrived at the final destination unscathed.

I would definitely book them for my next move.

Finding a trustworthy moving company can be very stressful, especially with all the horror stories out there about hidden fees, damaged belongings, or belongings taken hostage for more money. But Matt and his team, are the dream team. They are exactly the kind of movers you hope to find. They were professional, punctual, and incredibly hardworking. They meticulously wrapped our mattresses and handled everything with such care, ensuring that both our belongings and property were protected. I’ve moved twice with Matt’s team and each experience has been flawless. They are honest, organized, and go above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible. I’ve recommended them to everyone I know, and I will continue to do so. Simply the best!

I had a great experience with First Rate Movers. The booking process was simple and the movers handled everything with care. They actually went above and beyond for my move - half my stuff got stuck in the elevator, and rather than just delaying my move or leaving me alone to handle it, one of the guys just went ahead and figured out how to get the door open with the tools he had on hand. I didn’t even have the chance to get stressed about it. And then they still got the whole thing done on time. Just all around thoughtful and expert service. Thanks to the whole team, I would definitely book with this company again.
