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 cannot say enough about the service of 1st Rate Movers. It was a pleasure dealing with the owner Matt Guest + his crew. They were right on time for the loading + unloading was completed professionally + efficiently. There were a few obstacles to overcome such as hoisting my couch up to a 2nd Read More…

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 had First Rate Movers move us from our apartment to our house. The experience was really great. There was a team of 3; they arrived on time, were friendly and worked hard all day. They took their time to wrap and prep out furniture to ensure it transferred without any problems. They finished within the estimated time. We had a great move and I want to thank **** and the moving crew for making our move day easy and stress free! We would hire them again in a heartbeat!
I first came in contact with First Rate when I needed to move last minute, on a holiday. I’d always moved myself in the past and couldn’t gather enough people to get everything done short notice so I did an internet search and up popped their add. With a name like First Rate, they have a lot to live up to, and have never failed, or disappointed me, or my friends who have used their services. I even had one friend call me, shocked, to say: “It was like magic! All of my stuff is moved and I barely had time to go to the bank machine for the cash to pay them!” They have inspired my moving policy, which is to always use their services when I move (which I have done 3 times), and to refer them to my friends and acquaintances liberally! The process from first contact through to payment at the end of the move is professional, painless and personal: every person on their team is there to help in any way they can! I can’t say enough good things about them!
