The second one wanted me to provide a detailed list of items to move - instead of coming to see us and providing a quote. And the third one - Top Notch (Marc the owner) - contacted us quickly and setup a day/time to come and talk to us, and assess clearly what needed doing. Marc showed up and I liked his honest approach immediately. He was very upfront, took notice of special items, asked many questions and told us, with great sincerity, how great his team was. I knew from that meeting that I would go with Marc. Moving day came - and - due to pretty severe illness 1 week prior to our move - we were behind on our packing. Marc and his team were wonderful and got us moved regardless. His team was fabulous: friendly, happy, fast, efficient, and careful. We really enjoyed dealing with them. I had a number of precious pieces of furniture that they were very aware of and very careful with. (Note: I had gotten appraisals and purchased insurance via Top Notch for these items and this is an important step, as the standard move insurance is by the pound and will not come close to covering actual replacement costs for anything of any value.) It was all moved without incident. I enjoyed listening/watching them work. They worked/communicated as a team, and moved with quiet efficiency. Really, I can't say enough good things about our experience.

They were fantastic and even under estimate. They have all my future business…read more Marc and the tea were efficient and respectful. Great Job!

Best Moving Experience Ever…read more This was absolutely the best moving experience I've ever had, and I've moved a number of times. The team was on time, quick, exceedingly careful, and also pleasant to deal with. All very nice guys. And they got me moved an hour under the quoted time, which was a nice bonus. Can't imagine there is a better moving company in Ottawa.

The movers showed up on time ,were very pleasant and knew exactly what they were doing. By that I mean ALL of them were expert. This wasn't a case of a couple of well trained people directing amateurs as is often the case. Each one of them were expert and very impressive. The condo we were moving into is not well suited to moving but that was no problem for them .If you are in need of movers these are your guys. Chris.

Having moved seven times in roughly fourteen years, I can attest to the quality and expertise First…read moreRate Movers brings to the table - especially when compared to other companies we've dealt with. In our experience with them, there's only ever been one hitch, and they made a point of rectifying the issue immediately and to our complete satisfaction--one of the benefits of working with a fully insured, honest, and ethical company. Furthermore, not only have their estimates been bang on for the three last moves we had with them, but their level of organization and attention to detail cannot be beaten. And all of that at market-competitive rates. What more could you ask for? Simply put, First Rate Movers not only live up to their name, but in my opinion, they are without equal. They are the only option for us, and I don't see that ever changing. Do you want pros? Look no further. Do you want a great price and exceptional overall value? They're your guys. And lastly, if anything does go sideways, do you want a company that will take care of you? You bet. Rest assured, they will make it right--on the spot without delay. Positively fantastic. Cheers to you, guys.
