In their own words
Worst possible service ever! The entire group, from moving, storage, delivering and even worse - customer service. There is nothing in their name that is even correct - they are only finest at shifting blame from their irresponsible movers and storage group. Not only did the movers initially not come prepared enough for the furniture they were moving (they ran out of moving blankets so they promised they would make sure our tables would be secured before being stored) but on delivery, one of the movers even…
Thank you very much for your business and for taking the time to submit your feedback. We are very sorry that you had an issue with your recent move. Firefighting's Finest Moving & Storage is very proud of our outstanding reputation and many 5-star reviews. We strive for perfection on every move.
Worst company I have ever done business with. I hired these guys to move an expensive dining table for the explicit reason for wanting it to not be damaged. This high end table was damaged when the movers dropped it from the truck. They couldn’t deliver it fast enough and hoped it didn’t get noticed. My wife noticed it was damaged only after she signed for it. With the delivery people still in our house, they merely said “you already accepted it”! I called to make an insurance claim and never got a return call!
The movers did not seem to be in an hurry to move my stuff which ended up costing more than the quote. The last company I used HUSTLED! They also put my headboard on backwards and left the door handles for my fridge at the old house. I called to let them know and no one EVER contacted me back! Will not recommend.
I'm shocked at the positive reviews, so I may have just had a bad experience. I move apartments every 1-2 years, so I've worked with many moving companies, and I've never had an issue. I found the employees here to be beyond slow. I moved every box myself before they came to make sure we stayed within the time limit. They went over the time limit, despite there being substantially less stuff than the quote was based on.
The crew was disorganized, they did not work together, and made a lot of non productive trips in and out of the townhouse. This resulted in the move taking longer then it should have. The crew lacked knowledge, experience and tools to take a bed apart! They showed no respect for our items. They put their tool box and tools, a mirror they took off a hutch , and other items on our unprotected dining table. The table arrived with a chipped edge.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Their movers will leave boxes behind, cause damage to your home, and take no responsibility for their actions. I had a large piece of furniture that I asked to be moved upstairs in my new home. They said it would be difficult but they were confident they could do it. The crew also advised that if they started to move the furniture and did not think they would be able to successfully get the furniture upstairs that they would let me know and we could find a place on the first floor instead.
DO NOT USE THE DALLAS LOCATION. Sadly my moving experience was god awful, and I was hopeful to use them considering I had used the austin branch and had a wonderful experience. The Dallas location was incredibly disrespectful and incompetent. On moving day the movers failed to wrap items properly, poorly packed items, wasted time, FaceTimed on the job and to top it off one man used my bathroom wasting extended additional time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with our Dallas location and understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been—especially given your positive experience with our Austin branch.
I was told one price a day before the move then price was change to another price. They're ripped off. They told me $2900 total price to move the whole house then when they got finish the total came out to be $5000 dollar. They did not even move the whole house. They left many items behind. When I call them one of the manager start tell me I give them misleading information. He needs to be FIRED!!! He don't need to be a manager because has poor customer service skill and people skills.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting and frustrating this situation must have been. What you described regarding pricing discrepancies, items being left behind, and the manner in which your concerns were handled…

In their own words
The team made my move so easy! They arrived right on time with great communication. I booked a pack and move done over 2 days. It was so nice to have the same team both days. Dallas and Isaac packed everything very carefully and we're super polite and helpful. They also asked questions about how I wanted certain items packed and it was clear they were focused on customer service. The move was great too! Again they took great care to handle my items without any damage.
We had a wonderful experience with Firefighter’s Finest. They were on time, kind, professional and finished our job early. Nothing was broken and everything was put in its place. We even had an extra stop at my sister’s and we they didn’t even flinch at her huge Great Dane puppy in her kennel in our way. This was a great value and we highly recommend them!
INCREDIBLE experience. I am a retired business professional, and was in the Marine Corps as a young man-and spent decades managing companies and doing business with other firms. In my work life I was known for being very difficult to please due to a very close attention to detail and high standards for myself and others. I do not give praise or high reviews lightly. I engaged every top-tier vendor you can find online to try to find the right company for my move from Texas to Georgia.
Thank you for taking the time to share such an incredible and detailed review. Your words mean even more knowing the high standards you hold for the companies you work with. We’re honored that you trusted Firefighting’s Finest with such a complex long-distance move and that our team exceeded your…
FFMS was awesome. This was my first experience with a residential moving company and they did not disappoint! The movers were quick, efficient, and professional; they showed up on time and were done in less time than originally quoted. My one and only complaint was that they didn't wrap the mattress with anything (maybe it was a misunderstanding on my part and I was supposed to provide a mattress cover?) and moved it with the fitted sheet on, which unfortunately ripped in multiple spots along one side.
