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 $250,000 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.
…Don’t settle for less than First Rate Movers.
Wendy and I just wanted to pass along a huge heaping of appreciation to you for our move on Friday. We obviously completely underestimated our junk and you guys really came through for us. We will certainly be recommending 1st Rate at every opportunity.
Sometimes, you don’t have the liberty of choosing your moving date — especially if you find your dream home with a 30-day closing date. But if you’re given the option to choose, we recommend that you consider relocating in the fall. There are plenty of perks that come along with this time of year. Let’s Read More…
Looking for a way to save on your long distance moving costs? You should consider a consolidated move. If you’ve never heard of this option before it’s because many moving companies keep this option secret unless you ask. Why? Because they have no problem filling half a truck and charging you full price. At First Read More…
We used First Rate Movers to move my mother from her home into a seniors’ residence. Matt was very helpful and though he was booked on our designated day, he was able to arrange for some trusted contractors. The move itself went extremely well and in the end it cost a bit less than the estimate. Todd and Zack we’re great: very efficient, courteous, friendly, and took very good care of all my mother’s things. In other words, true professionals! The furniture was very carefully wrapped and placed in the truck; equal care was taken unloading the truck and unwrapping things. Todd offered great advice on furniture placement and both were very patient and accommodating in trying out various possibilities before we found the right one. They also very kindly helped me bring in a carload of items that would have taken me over an hour… done in a fraction of the time! My mother and I are both very impressed with the reliability and quality of the service this company offers and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
This company moved me in May, 2015. They were recommended by someone who had used their services. The crew were there on time, they were extremely pleasant, very professional and had me out of my home and into my new residence within the timeframe quoted to me. Everything was intact and the men were very accommodating in placing things where I wanted them. A dreaded move turned out to be stress-free. If I were to move again, this company would definitely be my first choice and I would unequivocally recommend them to anyone.
We hired first rate movers for our latest move. We had a very positive experience. A crew of three moving professionals arrived on time, closely followed our instructions on what needed to be moved and where and they carefully wrapped all pieces of furniture and frames that weren’t in boxes. The crew was very professional, polite, cordial and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this company for a worry-free move. They clearly chose the proper name for their company.
