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.
Matt, my mom asked me to tell you that she has never seen such professional guys do a move the way they did her move on the 22nd of May 2007. Not only did they load the truck so well and quickly; they unloaded it 400 or so klicks away in the same manner. She Read More…
Procrastination affects us all, especially when it comes to things we don’t love (like preparing for a big move). When there are too many distractions or when you don’t even know where to begin, it can leave you frantic when it’s crunch time and you’re scrambling to get everything ready to go. Instead of letting Read More…
Getting ready for a big move can feel exciting and terrifying all at the same time. Anyone who has ever moved knows just how chaotic and stressful it can be — transitional periods will naturally incite feelings of uneasiness, and having to get all of your affairs sorted before the big day can be very Read More…
I was extremely happy with my experience with Furst Rate Movers Inc. moving is normally very stressful but they made it very easy. They were very polite, professional, friendly, and worked extremely hard. I will definitely recommend them and use them in the future!
I have to say that I was beyond impressed with both the efficiency and care with which my belongings were relocated. Having had the walls freshly painted only a few days before at our new home, the movers took great care not to scuff them up, which was greatly appreciated. That, along with their positive attitude, made it a pleasure to have them help us. I would greatly recommend them to anyone seeking professionals in the future.
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.

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…
