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.

Customer Service At It’s Best! I wanted to drop you a quick note expressing my appreciation for a great move. The crew you sent were outstanding.

This company is incredible with every aspect of this service. I have used other companies and First Rate is miles above to say the least. They are highly professional, fast, efficient, careful, and go above and beyond. Other companies charge you extra for what First Rate does (wrapping all furniture and breakables etc.) for the same rate. In fact their hourly rate is lower than other well known companies. If you book with them you won’t be disappointed.
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.
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.
