Verified record
First & Goal Moving is a small, owner-led crew out of Woburn built around Justin Caisse — nearly every one of the business's 41 reviews across four platforms names him directly, and the through-line across all of them is the same: he answers fast, quotes one flat price, and shows up even when the notice is short. That last point comes up again and again. One reviewer needed movers with almost no lead time and got a schedule shuffle to make it happen; another, mid an out-of-state move, called ahead to ask if the crew could arrive early to make a flight, and they did. A different reviewer contrasted the company favorably with competitors who tack on "commuting time" and other surcharges after quoting one price — Justin, they said, quotes flat and sticks to it. The written record backs the pattern with specifics rather than just adjectives: a crew packed a 20-foot U-Haul perfectly with no damage using moving blankets and ratchet straps for a long-distance move, another loaded a U-Pack trailer for an out-of-state move making use of every inch of space, and a father's move from Cambridge to Tampa arrived with generations-old glassware intact. Beyond standard moves, Justin has also taken on odd jobs — hauling away a granite table, picking up and dropping off a Floor & Decor order — the kind of flexibility that shows up in reviews as much as the moves themselves. The business carries a Thumbtack Top Pro badge from 2023, a completed Thumbtack background check on Justin Caisse, and a 100% five-star record on that platform alongside a 5★ average from 34 Google ratings. Every review in the record, recent and older, reads the same way — there's no written complaint on file to weigh against it. First & Goal is a strong fit for a move that needs flexibility — a rush timeline, an out-of-state leg, an odd specialty haul — where a small, hands-on crew and a single point of contact matter more than a large fleet. Given how thin the negative side of the record is, the main thing worth confirming before booking is simply availability, since Justin appears to run much of the scheduling himself.

“First & Goal Moving was outstanding and completed the job fast. Highly recommend.”
Justin and Aidan were seriously incredible. From the moment they arrived they were helpful and personable. They met everyone helping from my family, were flexible as we packed around them, and were just fun to be with. They packed our 20' U-Haul perfectly. Everything was tight and secured. No damages. They also used moving blankets we secured and ratchet straps to perfection. Highly recommend their services.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Justin and his team were phenomenal from start to finish! They went above and beyond to make my move as smooth and stress-free as possible. Everyone was incredibly kind, courteous, professional, and hardworking throughout the entire process. I truly could not have asked for a better moving experience. I would not use anyone else for a future move and will happily recommend Justin and his team to my clients, friends, and family. Thank you again for everything!
We couldn’t have had a better experience with first and goal. They made our move easy! We will be recommending them to friends and family.
I had a great experience with this moving company from start to finish. The Justin and his team was professional and handled all of my belongings with great care. They worked efficiently, communicated throughout the entire move, and made what could have been a stressful day incredibly smooth. Nothing was damaged, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and hardworking moving company. Thanks for the outstanding service!
First & Goal moving did an awesome job loading up our U-Pack trailer for a long distance move. We hired a 4-man team to load everything up and they were efficient and thorough with wrapping. Everything was stacked perfectly so they made use of every bit of space in the trailer, saving us money! Now that we have unloaded the trailer I can say that everything made it to the destination in great shape and completely undamaged. I would not hesitate to recommend first and goal. They also give an active duty military discount which we were grateful for.
