Through several phone calls we organized my items to be moved. They were available as quick as I needed.The guys showed up early, introduce themselves, polite and courteous group. The move went smoothly, quickly and without issue. The estimate quoted was the final price, no hidden fees. I would definitely use them again.

!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!!

Provided last minute availability for my Mom’s move and moved everything where she asked. It was a three legged trip so she could clear out her storage bin, pick up her belongings at my house and take all to her new home. That helped us out tremendously! Yes, I would recommend.

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

This was our third move using First-Rate Moving, and every single time they exceed our expectations! 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.

Everything arrived in perfect condition and staff is friendly and courteous. These guys rock. Thank you so much Jay and staff for keeping me updated every step of the way and going above and beyond. They also delivered both my Benz’s and they were perfect as well. Can’t say enough good things

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 !

I wanted a few quotes for a moving and storage company. First Rate sent someone right away to the house to take a detailed inventory to quote our move and storage. 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.

I have had an opportunity to work with Jay Sarcione and his company, First Rate, several times in the past few years. Compared to the national companies, he was literally half the cost. The service that was provided was quick, efficient and timely. I was happy to be able to support a local business who is a consistent supportive member of our Merrimack Valley Community.

I've moved homes regionally several times and can say without a doubt that Jay and his crew rank right up on top with the big boys. 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.

Absolutely blown away by the professional handling of our double move from home to apartment and out again. With my wife leaving unexpectedly for a death in the family and me still working and trying to end the packing, the team was responsive and always answered texts within minutes. Then, Gregory, Eddy and Jimmy, came in and politely, efficiently and expeditiously wrapped, packed and moved us out of our short term rental. I had time to run the usual end of lease rituals with cable, lessor etc., and get to my destination. All was done with an air of pride in what they do and who the company is. I told them if I move again I want them…though I hope I don’t move again! 😌

My experience couldn't have been better. From the very first phone call to Jay, to the end of the move, everything went smoothly. Jimmy, Jay, and Gregory, the moving crew, were focused, efficient and got the job done about 3.5 hours before the estimated amount of time. I appreciated the communication throughout the process...someone came the very next day to evaluate my apartment, an estimate given and adjustment the cost as needed; the email the day before as a reminder and a time frame of expected pick up; an email 30 minutes before arrival of the truck on the day of the move; the courtesy of the crew and their knowledge of packing and moving items carefully, and their hard work. I am very pleased with First Rate and will definitely recommend them to others in need of their service. I must add that it was so nice to have the phone answered by the owner and I didn't have to speak to an automated answering service. This really meant a lot to have that personal touch/voice.

I own a local moving company down in sunny south FL. We have used Jay and First-Rate several times over the last few years sending customers up and down I-95.We recently supported them with a customer they moved from Boca to California.What we love about the owner Jay is he legitimately cares about people.We talk about how to best support clients.We talk about how to best keep out team feeling good about themselves and their jobs.Jay is "a good dude", and we regularly recommend him and First - Rate to our customer's. (We don't go out of state )Thank you Jay :))

During my 1st conversation with Jay at First-Rate Moving & Storage I knew he was going to be the one I wanted to do business with. We were moving out of our NH house & needed to put all our personal belongings in storage for 2 months. We were so pleased with how they took the time to wrap our furniture to protect it. Once our new home in Indiana was ready for us, they moved all of our household from storage to Indiana. They were careful in handling all the boxes & furniture and placed everything in each room as directed. Jason kept me informed all through the process & quickly got back to me when I had questions. Oh, did I mention they also were able to trailer our vehicle for us? The price he initially quoted me didn’t change, the cost was exactly as quoted. This was a big move for us and he made it so easy. Jayson Sarcione at First-Rate Moving & Storage is THE BEST! I give him 5 stars.

Getting in touch with them was easy. They always responded back and found a way to make timing work.We needed a pool table moved from one location to my house. These guys were careful, funny, kind and precise on setting it up. They even cleaned off all the cat hair and made it look new.Will definitely be using them again. 👍

I have used First Rate's moving services many times over the past few years as I have relocated numerous times given the fact that I am in a government witness protection program. Jay Sarcione and his team are fantastic. They have always handled my belongings with the utmost care while providing the ultimate in customer service excellence. The cost is reasonable and the service rendered is outstanding. Why would I hire anyone else?

Jay and crew took great care in protecting, wrapping and moving all furniture and belongings. Long drive to destination and unloading in cold, snowy conditions without complaint. Awesome team to work with.Kind, interactive and thorough.

When I needed to store my furniture while completing a house remodel, First-Rate Moving was there to help.They quickly responded to my request which was sort of last minute. The team that came out to pick up my furniture we careful, efficient and pleasant. and, When I asked to have my furniture returned, again on short notice before the Christmas holiday they were extremely accommodating. All furniture returned in perfect condition.Highly recommend this company and if ever needed in the future will definitely use them again.

One of the best movers. Jay was very professional and responsive. He replied to my messages within 15 min. The crew members were very friendly, easy to work with and very accommodating. They moved all my stuff from North Andover MA to Ridgefield CT. They were very economical but at the same time didn't compromise on quality and customer support. I would highly recommend them for any short distance or long-distance moves.

The best moving company you can ask for. The pricing and professionalism is unmatched. Plus Jay and his crew are just the best people to be around. They really made moving a fun experience.Plus his storage units make things so much easier when you’re looking for your next house. Highly recommend.
