Ottawa Moving Company
Local Ottawa Movers Serving Ontario
Bi-Weekly Trips to Toronto & the GTA
Ottawa movers serving eastern Ontario. We are a locally owned and operated moving company that has been providing top-notch moving services since 2003. We are respected as one of Ottawa’s best movers due to our professionalism, attention to detail, concern for customers’ belongings and property, and ability to do the job right. Uniformed First Rate Movers arrive on time, alert, properly equipped and ready to perform to the high standards demanded by our customers.
You can be confident that our crews will be prepared with tools, mattress bags, wardrobe boxes, clean moving blankets, floor runners, and all other equipment necessary to safely protect your belongings and property during your move. Confidence in our ability to provide a first rate professional moving service allows us to include $1,000,000 of full replacement value insurance in our rates for all full-service moves. This is far superior to the limited coverage “protection policy” offered by other Ottawa moving companies.
The reason our moving company stands out from the crowd is not just our commitment to excellent service but also the pride our movers take in their work. Unlike many Ottawa Movers, we hire only full-time employees – no part-timers or day labour. Our professional Ottawa movers are well paid, WSIB-covered, and receive overtime, holiday pay, vacation pay, and other benefits. This attracts superior movers and results in greater effort from more content and dedicated employees. You can take comfort in knowing that our Ottawa moving company is bonded, a top-rated Honour Roll member of the Better Business Bureau, and is certified by the Canadian Association of Movers.
Whether you want a full-service moving company to handle your relocation or just need movers to help load or unload a rental moving truck or container, you can count on us.

I would just like to let you know that your staff that moved me on Friday was extremely professional and efficient. I am 100% happy with your company’s services and I will strongly recommend First Rate Movers to anyone I know who is moving in Ottawa. Thanks again!
When moving to a new place, packing up your things can be one of the most stressful things to do. It should be done carefully and well ahead of time to prevent anything from getting damaged. And when it comes to spaces like the dining room, it can be quite tricky to pack since the Read More…

Moving day is always a stressful day. I booked a move from a 2 bedroom apartment (with LOTS of stuff) to a new townhouse with First Rate Movers, and I can honestly say that my experience was absolutely fantastic! I don’t normally write reviews, but after dealing with First Rate Movers, I felt the need to let others know how great they are. The two movers arrived 20 minutes early to prepare the truck and to get an idea of what kind of furniture I had, how many boxes, etc. They were extremely professional and it was completely obvious that they had worked as a team before – they are two exceptionally hard working guys! They emptied the apartment in record time, wrapped all the fragile pieces of furniture with blankets and even provided a wardrobe box for clothing on hangers. They were talking 3 heavy boxes of books at a time, not just one box each load… After leaving the apartment, they arrived at the townhouse just after I did.
Old school service! We used First Rate twice. I was a bit sceptical at first because the guy on the phone seemed a bit gruff and the estimate was higher than two or three other companies I had called. But I liked that First Rate was bonded, would cover any damage and all their movers were insured. Both times the movers were on time, polite and very efficient. They wrapped all the main furniture in blankets and obviously knew what they were doing – moving large pieces up and down stairs and around tight corners without a mark. I also like the fact that all the paperwork was done properly and that both times, they came in under the estimate! I hope we never have to move again. But if we do, we will use First Rate Movers.
I was very pleased with the service I received from First Rate movers. Very quick response to emails and phone calls. ***, **** and **** were very friendly and went above and beyond their duties. I have moved a number of times, including overseas, and this has been a very positive experience from start to finish. Everything was done in an extremely professional manner, by an extremely professional crew. I highly recommend their services.
