I can’t say enough great things about this team. Ricky and team went above and beyond to make our move less stressful. The team was thoughtful and made sure our items and home were not damaged.

I appreciate the three men that helped me move today through A-1 Movers. They were on time, they paid attention to details and were very cautious/careful with my furniture. I have a lot of breakables, and they took extra care with them. They were polite, respectful and pleasant to be around. I highly recommend A-1 Movers for any moving jobs!

Denise C.

I’ve used A-1 Movers several times over the past 10 years. They are the best!

J. H.

Our move from MN to Iowa was flawless, and I highly recommend A-1 Movers. Ricky and staff were on time, caring, and took much pride in their jobs. Long day for these two gentlemen and showed excellent customer service throughout our move. Excellent job!

Kate B.

Ricky and Shawn were fantastic. Showed up on time, no damage to any of my belongings, finished earlier than estimate, super friendly and professional movers. Highly recommend A-1 Movers!!

Steve E.

I had hired Ricky to move my mom’s things from assisted living back to her home. My mom had moved to the nursing home and passed away a couple of days later. So, he moved things to her home, picked up things from the nursing home, then moved some things from my mom’s house to my house which was an hour away. I can’t believe how accommodating, careful, and professional they were through this whole procedure. I would recommend them to everyone!!

Janet C.

Ricky and Maliek were extremely friendly and professional. They were very careful with my furniture, wrapping it to prevent damage. A-1 Movers was timely and efficient. They know what they are doing, for sure! Thanks guys.

Cookie M.

They were great! It was quick and no damage; courteous and professional. Highly recommend.

Karen C.

These guys were absolutely amazing. Moved an entire house to a storage unit, & organized it perfectly so I could access everything. Will definitely use them when my house is done.

Laura A.

I was so happy with A-1 Movers’ awesome service. The gentlemen were so nice, so professional, super-fast move. I paid half the cost other movers quoted me. So so happy I picked them to help me move. I will recommend them to everyone I know.

Ashley W.

Great fast, friendly, and affordable service! Movers were very pleasant and very careful with my items. I would recommend A-1 Movers to anyone for moving needs. Great Job!

Adrianne B.

Plain and simple, this is only moving company you should ever rely on. Ricky’s team loaded up my 1-car garage and 2nd floor apartment furniture and had it unpacked at our new location in 2 and a half hours. 2nd time I’ve used them (same crew) and they were outstanding both times.

Jason O.

Ricky & Matt were great. On time and efficient. Very helpful, careful, & easy to work with. Highly recommend them!

Cristina L.

True professionals. Joshua and his crew were timely, efficient, clean, and protected my property. Highly recommend.

Adam P.

Emailed back and forth to set up the move. Quick responses and helped me figure out details on cost. Moved a house and garage from storage to a raised ranch with stairs. Trey’s crew was great to work with. They got lost and showed up 10 minutes late. Called to say they were a little behind. When they got there all 3 guys apologized and got right to work. Didn’t stop for anything other than to swing into Casey’s for a drink (they asked if I was fine with that beforehand). I have antiques so I am a little touchy on moving. They did a great job. Put stuff right where I wanted it. No dings or scratches. Hoping not to move for quite a while but if I do, I will be using A-1 Movers.

Deven M.

A-1 Movers showed up a few minutes before schedule. They were polite and friendly. More importantly they were extremely careful! They wrapped everything in pads and plastic. They took time and didn’t just ram our stuff into their truck. They never told us they couldn’t accommodate our requests, including not stacking our furniture on top of other furniture. If all of this wasn’t enough, they provided great service DURING a winter storm. They kept assuring us “A-1 will not quit until the job is done.” We would definitely use them again!!

Lori W.

A+++. The gentlemen at A-1 Movers were careful, efficient, and nice. They were very flexible too. My house closing day was up in the air a bit, so we had to move dates a bit. A-1 was very helpful in that regard. I highly recommend them for anyone planning a move.

Greg H.

Rick & Little Rick were professional, courteous, and just plain hard workers. These guys are pros, taking the stress out of moving in a 3-location trip. They did everything we wanted, arrived on time, and really knew what they were doing. They were completely worth their service, and I am more than pleased with A-1 Movers.

John W.

I’m a little late getting this on here but wanted to say we hired A-1 Movers for our recent move. Other than being late, which they did call and inform us, the guys were AWESOME! They worked fast, hard, and never wasted time. Very friendly and professional. Yes, I would use them again! Thanks guys!

Mike D.

These guys are the best. AJ and Tony from A-1 Movers did a fantastic job for me this week. Besides being professional, prompt and courteous, they worked efficiently and quickly without taking any breaks at all. They were very pleasant to work with, which took a lot of stress out of the move. They took special care to gently handle the treasures and memories of a lifetime which was appreciated so much. Ricky at the office was also easy to work with getting a quote and scheduling the move. The final cost at A-1 Movers was significantly lower than other places in town where I got quotes, also much appreciated. Thank you to the team at A-1 for a positive, stress-free experience. Great job!

Debbie K.

Very professional and communicative. Did a great job with multiple stops for this move. Would highly recommend!

Emily C.

If you’re looking for a reliable and stress-free moving experience, I highly recommend A-1 Movers. Ricky, Shawn, and Nico went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled with care and efficiency. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire process smooth and easy. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help with my move!

Timothy G.

Great & reliable! Used A-1 Movers for three of our families moves, one being cross country (from Iowa to Arizona). Highly recommend!

Tyler F.

The A-1 Movers are very careful and fast working! Very easy to deal with! We are using them this week to move again! Well worth the money!

Felix S.

This company is awesome. 10/10, will always use when I can. Friendly, funny, and efficient. These guys make moving day stress free!!

Stephanie G.

Ricky was just a blessing! Stopped by on very short notice and got our new couch inside when we didn’t think it was gonna fit. We’d previously used them for our move and had quality service then as well. 10/10 recommend A-1 Movers!

Shianne F.

Ricky and his teammate really did a great job on my apartment. They were super courteous, polite, and easy to work with. They got the job done quickly and treated our stuff with respect. I’d highly recommend.

Jose P.

Mike and Paul are pretty amazing! Great personality, good service, and very good vibes! Made moving a lot less stressful! Thank you, Mike and Paul!

Mary L.

I would strongly recommend A-1 Movers for any moving job. We have personally used A-1 for the last 3 moves, and Ricky and his team are always professional, hardworking, and careful with all our furniture and belongings. They showed up when promised and we are always surprised at how quickly the get the job done.

John D.

We were more than pleased at the wonderful job they did. So efficient, helpful, friendly, and did the whole move in almost an unbelievable time. I highly recommend A-1 Movers. Thank you so much!

Carolyn T.

Ricky and Matt moved our entire 3-bedroom apartment in just a few hours. They were very professional and much cheaper than the competition. I would recommend them hands down. Hopefully we don’t move soon but when we do, I will certainly call A-1 Movers again.

J. F.

They called ahead the morning of our move. The were prompt, professional, and personable. Dylan and Josh did nice work.

Michele D.

Ricky and his crew are absolutely amazing! Very professional, efficient, personable, and courteous. They ALWAYS make sure our items were very well protected and secure. I had such peace of mind with them. We have moved a lot and every single time, I call A-1 Movers. We have a lot of breakable pieces of furniture and wood like a huge glass curio. Nothing is EVER scratched or broken. I recommend these folks to everyone!! My husband and I couldn’t be more pleased. If you want your move done right, you definitely want A-1 Movers! Thanks Ricky!

Jacqueline A.

The whole moving crew were fun to work with. They charge reasonable fees and work efficiently. I definitely would use them again.

Brian

I do not know about others, but our experience was outstanding. They were professional, courteous, and prompt for our move. They also were flexible to accommodate the uncertainty of our schedule due to closings on the houses. They worked hard, going above and beyond in my opinion. When they entered our new house, the first thing they did was cover the floors to prevent any damage. They took great care with our belongings, and to date we have not found any issues, unlike the last company we used five years ago during which move several items were broken or damaged; we filed insurance claims, and to date we have not heard from them. A-1 Movers was the fourth moving company we have ever used, and they were by far the best. As I said, I have no idea of what may have happened elsewhere, but our experience was great, and we would have them again if the need developed.

Kevin B.

A-1 Movers did a great job with our move. The movers were on time and worked quickly. They worked quickly through the off-and-on rain/snow we had that day, being careful to keep our stuff outside for as little time as possible, and to lay down blankets to keep from tracking water through the house. I was very impressed with the service they provided.

Jordan W.

The moving team with A-1 Movers were fantastic. They were incredibly helpful, kind, and made moving feel like less of a chore and more fun. They took care with my things and were efficient with loading and unloading the truck. I would recommend them to anyone needing to move!

James V.

Ricky and his crew are top notch. If you’re looking for help moving, look no further than A-1 Movers. They are by far the best in the business at an unbeatable price and quality of care you will not find anywhere else. I will use no one else but A-1 moving forward, and I highly recommend you do the same.

Anthony P.

The coolest thing about A-1 Movers is you show them what needs to be moved, and it gets done at a very reasonable price. They were here for about one hour—no scratches, no holes in walls, just good old-fashioned muscle and very good with people so I highly recommend A-1 Movers. Thanks again.

Doug S.

I needed help with moving an item. Within a few hours, my job was arranged. Eric was courteous and prompt. I’m happy to recommend A-1 Movers!

Julie B.

Ricky started our move professionally and was personable. DeShawn (sp?) and Gerald were friendly and so fast and so efficient! We knew our move was going to be great!! We will definitely be making referrals for A-1 Movers!! Thank you so much!!

Heidi H.

They moved my household in 2020 with so much care and professionalism. I would highly recommend them.

Jennifer P.

Can’t say enough about Ricky and his team. They were efficient, quick, and careful. They were able to roll with the punches as we made changes. Best value and they were very nice and professional.

Jennifer R.

The guys were awesome! They were professional, but personable. Highly recommended!

Alicia G.

These guys were awesome! Professional, friendly and efficient! I will hire them again!

Michelle A.

Third time of having A-1 Movers, yet again perfect move! Book no one else!

Nicholas A.

I have used this company to move two separate times. Both times the movers, especially Sean, were very professional and cared about our things. During our second move, we had an issue with our treadmill being broken. Both Amanda and Ricky went above and beyond to take care of the issue. When A-1 Movers found out about the repair costs, they replaced the treadmill! I couldn’t be happier with their service. Their customer service went above and beyond what I would expect from a moving company. I would recommend them to anyone needing a moving company who will take care of your possessions and look after the details. They have earned the name of A-1!

Tom Z.

Best movers in Des Moines! We had an amazing experience with A-1 Movers. Courteous. Prompt. Efficient. Extremely nice! This was the third time our family has used A-1 because their level of service is phenomenal. We plan to use them for an upcoming move this summer.

Catherine D.

Moving can be stressful. The team we had was thorough and very patient. We had to pick up items from a couple different locations and packed the truck. They were efficient and hard-working. No one likes moving, but they definitely helped ease the process. We’d use them again.

Krystle M.

They went 175 miles, loaded, moved my parents to Bondurant, and my sister and I were very happy with their service. Thank you very much.

Michael F.

Very quick and efficient. They got all my stuff in without even a scrape. They were also super polite and courteous. I’ll recommend them to anyone I know.

Aaron H.

A-1 Movers did an awesome job with our move. They were right on time and got to work right away. The got the job done in under the time they estimated for me and were very careful with all of our things.

Jordan

I contacted this company to make sure they had no affiliation with another company because I had an awful, gut-wrenching experience with the others. When I contacted this company to make sure they weren’t affiliated, the owner of the company IMMEDIATELY responded back and said they are NOT in ANY way affiliated with them. A couple of minutes later she CALLED me on my cell phone to ensure that I knew they weren’t and that they have never had any issues with their company or complaints until the other company revised their name. BUT! This company is the kindest, most professional I have ever dealt with; she treated me like I was one of her family members, and I am not even a customer of theirs…yet. I would HIGHLY recommend them based solely off of the professionalism and kindness I encountered on this chance meeting.
