      Don't hesitate to call 1st Choice Movers for your moving needs! They helped me move out of my house for a home remodel and did such a good job I knew I'd be reaching back out for the move back.

      They just finished the move back and same great service as expected! Dominic and crew were super quick, took good care while moving my stuff, and made the overall experience a breeze.

      This company was the most professional of all the others I surveyed. I liked their website and documentation. Derek responded immediately, provided detailed information so I could reasonably estimate the expected cost, and then provided detailed receipts showing the computed costs when all was done. I found out later that Derek closely monitored the packing and moving through his team leaders.

      We were just moving locally. The four-member packing team showed up on time and surveyed the work. The lead packer divided the job to each of the other members and they got to work. Based upon the excellent condition of all our stuff during unpacking, they did a quality job. I really appreciate the labeling on the boxes so they were unloaded and placed in right locations. They had a great attitude and were at times singing together while working.

      On the day of the move, the guys showed up on time and with two trucks and great attitudes. They loaded everything carefully. It took longer than anticipated but they stuck with it. On the far end they made short work of unloading. I greatly appreciate the care they took going up the stairs, around corners and through tight hallways.

      As retired military, I've had to move from duty station to duty station. In all, I estimate I've moved at least twenty times. Comparatively, 1st Choice Movers rank at the top over all the previous packers and movers. I am pleased and very satisfied.

      Literally could not have had a better moving experience. I was moving a 4BR 2BA, full garage and backyard, and have had several terrible moving experiences in the past.

      This team was super responsive from the jump, provided a very accurate quote (we came in under $ and they finished up so quickly), and was extremely communicative leading up to the move.

      Day of the move, everyone showed up perfectly on time, put effort into thoroughly understanding what I needed moved and where, and then jumped into action.

      These guys move lighting fast and are insanely respectful of your home and furniture. They also crack some pretty solid jokes. I know who my go to team is next time I need to move. Thank you so much!

      This crew was so friendly and professional. They worked very hard to protect our furniture. We hired the packers, too, and they were so helpful! Everything went so smoothly! Highly recommend!

      I had a great experience recently with 1st choice movers. I contacted them through Yelp and I got to chat with the owner Derek. Derek recommended to do a walk through of our home/belongings to provide a more realistic and accurate quote as this was going to be a larger move. After the walk through, we got the quote and scheduled the moving day. Communication was great throughout the process. And on the day of the move we had 6 movers and 2 trucks. This was for a move that was from one county to another so not easy by any means. But Derek and the 1st choice movers team made it happen for us as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Everything was done professional and top-notch with the utmost care of our belongings. My family and I can't thank them enough. We were in great hands the entire time. I would never hesitate to recommend them and/or use their services again. Thanks Derek, Isaiah, David, Ali, Tyler, Deonti, and Oscar!

      Moving due to divorce is not fun... And when I needed to switch moving companies last minute, I'm so glad I came across 1st Choice Movers!

      They deserve all their fantastic reviews. The pricing is straight forward - no unexpected add ons. They also did a great job wrapping furniture and problem solving the movement of larger items.

      Isaiah, Ali, & Domenic are a great team! So personable too. A horrible day stung a little less with this crew.

      1st Choice is 5 Star!! Derek responded quickly to my inquiry and provided an accurate quote. I reached out to Derek weeks later to make the booking and I'm stoked I did. I was provided with lots of information after making the booking, which I read. I followed their instructions and suggestions which really made the actual move pretty easy. The real heroes here are the move crew, Tyler, Domenic, and Deonti. Super friendly, knowledgeable, hard working and careful. Thanks guys for the exceptional service.

      I never leave reviews...for anything...for whatever that's worth.

      We had a great experience with using 1st Choice Movers. The owner, Derek was very responsive and worked with my schedule to get us a quote, and they were competitively priced. On moving day, Isaiah, Tyler, Ale, and David were really nice, efficient, and careful with all of my things and both homes.

      Active military family of 2 here! 100% recommend, super accommodating, working a full work week and standing duty. They were able to be flexible and change pack out and move out to the weekend! The women pack out team were very fast, professional and affordable.

      Don't hesitate to book!

      Moving boxes!
