Jason manages an amazing company! He is personable and efficient and our move from Massachusetts to Utah went seamlessly. He was easy to contact by cell and by messaging and he responded quickly with answers and clarification. We had many fragile pieces, artwork and a piano and everything arrived in perfect condition. He kept in touch during the drive so we knew exactly when he would arrive. I highly recommend his company, First Rate Moving and Storage.

I would like to give Jay and his team the most rave review ever. They were efficient, communicated beautifully, packed up in three locations for us, wrapped everything carefully so it wouldn’t be damaged and could not have been nicer. The team of Junior, Edwin, Dickson, Jimmy, Eddie, Gregory and Jay were AMAZING!! I cannot thank them enough. And lastly, their pricing was very competitive. I could not recommend them more highly.

Jay and his team did an amazing job packing up our apartment and moving it all to a home! They arrived on time, were efficient, and so careful of all our belongings. They then placed everything where we wanted it in our home and made sure to not make the freshly cleaned house dirty. Loved working with the team! We will definitely book with them again for moving needs!

First-Rate Moving lives up to their name! We could not have been more pleased with Jay and his hard-working team. It was pouring outside on the day of our house move, and the team wrapped up all of our furniture so well that nothing got wet or dirty. They took great care in covering our floors so the rain water would not damage them. The team was polite, professional, and efficient. We highly recommend this elite small business.

First-Rate Moving was recommended to me by a good friend and they did not disappoint. I did get a few quotes for comparison but First-Rate was very competitive and their communication was even better. Jay was great to work with and the entire crew busted their humps and we’re friendly the whole time. Mine was not an easy move! A 4 bedroom colonial with a finished basement and a wood shop. They carefully wrapped every piece of furniture and got the job done in a day and a half! Thank you Jay, and kudos to your crew.I highly recommend First-Rate Moving.

!TOP NOTCH! My family and I have moved a few times over the years and First-Rate truly is "First Rate"!! I know that sounds a little cliche but there is no other way to put it. Moving is stressful enough so when you find a great company to work with it eases some of the pain. Daniel in the office was great setting up the appt. to have the estimator Jason come out to our home to look over everything. Jason was very friendly, responsive and thorough with all of the details of the move and was even in on the action the day we moved. The communication throughout the move was great and supplies were dropped off when we needed them. The day of the move, (it was a 2 day move) they never stopped. Every single one of these guys were hard workers. You don't see that anymore so needless to say I was very impressed with this, and all were so polite and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

Where do I start, I needed a hot tub moved from house to another. Everyone else wanted an obscene amount of money to do it. I called this place and they had an amazing price! So I signed up! I spoke with Daniel! From start to finish this was by far the best most easiest, nicest experience I have ever had! They made every so easy! I will forever recommend this company! Every single person I felt with was so kind, courteous and professional! Even the gentleman that showed up were super kind! Thank you so much for helping me!! I greatly appreciate all the work you did for me and how easy you made everything and how comfortable I felt with my decision with choosing you! If you are looking for a moving company I would 1000% call these people!! You will NOT regret it!!

Can’t say enough good things about this company. I worked with Daniel from the start who provided a quote over the phone for a move from a house that even included a stop at a storage unit. Jimmy and Abdiel arrived and made the process so smooth and stress free. They were both personable and professional. We were amazed at how quick the two of them were yet they still took the time to pad the doors, wrap the furniture properly, disassemble the tv stands and reassemble, etc. Since this was our first time using movers we were not sure what to expect, but we have already recommended first rate several times in just the 48 hours since we have used them!

Abdiel, Antonio and Jimmy were superb! From disassembling and reassembling my sofa bed to moving things around for my mom, they could not have been better. They scrambled to ensure everything was safe from an unexpected torrential downpour and worked a very long day, tirelessly and with grace and great care. I would highly recommend First Rate.

First Rate is Top Notch!!From initial quote, to removing belongings, storing for a bit and then bringing to our new house was a very positive experience.The care they took when wrapping our furniture was evident because it arrived in great condition. Zero scratches or breakage and the care that was taken when bringing into our new house with new floors was amazing. Nice job and THANKS.

In the midst of all the hassle, we hired these guys for moving.And it was the best decision we made!Daniel and Jay were quick to respond, easy to reach and always available for any questions. And the moving team, Abdiel, Antonio and Edwin.. were the rockstars! They were quick, efficient and professional. They packed everything with careful detail, carried everything with care, disassembled & assembled with expertise, and completed the move with incredible care and velocity.So, if you are a new home owner, do yourself a favor.. take one decision off your plate and hire First-Rate Moving and Storage!

Excellent moving company. The crew are professional, very helpful and polite. The owner was willing to take the effort to come for an on-site estimate, and therefore was able to gave us an accurate and very reasonable price.First-rate Moving gave a fixed price/ contract, not a floating price like the moving company we hired in the past who ended up changing us double than the estimate.We will recommend First-Rate Moving to our friends.

Great experience moving everything from our house into a storage unit and apartment! The movers were very friendly and so efficient. All of our furniture was packed carefully and they ensured that every item was going to the correct place. Every item was unpacked and set back up with just as much care as it was packed. They made our move so much easier. I would highly recommend this company and will definitely be using them for future moves.-CJ and Kelley

The booking process was very easy, and they accommodated our requested moving window with no issues at all. They work extremely quick, are very efficient, and ensured all of our belongings were moved with care. We have very heavy furniture, but they made moving it look easy. Jay and his crew were wonderful to work with, and we couldn’t have asked for a better moving service! I could not recommend this company more, and we will continue to use them for any future moving needs!

Daniel in the office was very fast in getting us a quote for our recent move and very easily reachable with any questions we had. Always available and very friendly.They were the second company we got prices from and the quote came back significantly lower than the first company since first rate does a flat rate for moving. (The other company gave us a range with the highest number being $4700.) First rate came in about $3600. Jay came to do our assessment for the quote and he was incredibly friendly and personal right off the bat. I was happy to see him on move out and move in day and he remembered everyone's name and made the experience a bit brighter than it would have been without his positive attitude. The entire team was great. Very careful with our stuff wrapped it all beautifully and communicated well with each other. Jay ran the crew very efficiently but again always staying positive and keeping a sense of humor throughout which helped me get out of my own head/stress. Every piece of furniture made it packed and unpacked without damage. They disassembled and reassembled everything without issue. I can't sing this crews praises enough. Moving is never easy and we are not the most organized family but thanks to first rate we managed it with our sanities intact.

First Rate is an appropriate name for this moving company. I’ve had several others in the past and they all pale in comparison.The two men (Jimmy and Jaun ) arrived on time , were courteous , professional , kind and went above and beyond what I had anticipated.When I attempted to assist they wouldn’t have it ., they’d remove the item from my hands and take care of it . .Not one piece of furniture was chipped scratched or broken, nor were any of my fragile items in many boxes .( In prior moves have had items arrive broken)Jimmy & Jaun took the initiative to wrap my white couch and side chair in plastic, so they both would remain pristine white . .To my delight they unwrapped it when we arrived to my new home.They also put was to go into the basement down there and stacked it perfectly. I can’t say enough about the two men or the owner Jay who set up the appointment with ease and followed up with me once completed.( A rarity )In this day and age when you can barely get a clerk at a grocery store to assist you“Fist Rate” moving renewed my faith in mankind!The men had no idea I had a bad back and I was so pleased that evening not to be in pain .. Recommend them highly !

They were very responsive right up to the day of the move. Abdiel, Yeifri, and Eddy worked hard and efficient and wrapped all our items with care. We are so happy we chose first rate. We will update once the storage is needing to be moved to new house.

The job was large, 4BR household in the Boston suburbs.It contained not only all typical living space items including multiple bedroom sets, living room, dining room, family room, a freezer, along with a large workshop with several large power tools, lumber, a library with at least 70 very heavy book boxes and a large shed full of outdoor equipment including a riding lawnmower, snowblower, chipper and wagons.I learned long ago that putting as much in boxes would save the day. In this day when movers want you to "send pictures", a lot can go wrong with that method. Mark your boxes with your destination room. Jay came to the house on fairly short notice and delivered a quote within a day. He worked with me over a month to refine exactly what I would be shipping and delivered a price that was not only competitive, but provided a confidence that he would deliver 100% of what he promised. He did.The mattresses and springs were put into heavy duty plastic envelopes and the several large rolled-up rugs were wrapped in heavy plastic. I packed everything else myself (ugh!)We needed two trucks, and needed to safely store the contents for several days between move out and move in. The contents remained on those two trucks to prevent possible damage due to loading and unloading. His per-diem storage rate was fair. The trucks were stored inside his southern NH warehouse for safekeeping. The trucks were clean and well-kept, and he included all necessary items to wrap and protect furniture and other items. He laid down protective floor coverings.I was moving to a rural location in Vermont, where the term "mud season" is real. The roads are dirt, steep and winding. In March, the possibility of getting large trucks stuck is very real. Jay even scouted the area in advance as he had another move going to Burlington VT earlier in the month. That was a big confidence-booster. I asked them to arrive at the new home at 6:00 AM to try to avoid the mud, which they promptly did, with no problems, even with two feet of new snow falling within the previous week.The area is also renowned for its lack of cell phone service, so advance communication was essential.The unloading went like clockwork, I stood at the door and confirmed the destination of each item, which has always been the best strategy. They then helped me place heavy furniture pieces into the best location. We were lucky the trucks could back right up to the garage and unload, to minimize the amount of "mud" that came into the house. NOTHING WAS BROKEN OR DAMAGED!They had sufficient work crew to load and unload in about 6-7 hours at each end, each worker was strong and more than capable of handling even the heaviest item with care. I was so pleased that I tipped each worker generously.I would use First-Rate again in a heartbeat for any local or long-distance move. Communications before and after the move was the best I've ever had and set expectations such that everything went as planned and there were zero issues.

Been using First Rate for every move of my adult life the last 10 years. Jay and his crew are always perfectly friendly, hard working, adaptable and FAST! I’m able to book a move with just a day or two’s notice and always get a solid price. I could not recommend First Rate enough!
