Firefighting's Finest Moving & Storage

1800 W Howard Ln, Austin, TX 78728, United States

DOT 2783472

In 2001, two off-duty firefighters had an idea. They were going to S.E.R.V.E. their Texas community, by providing it with moving services. But what does this acronym mean? They built their business on Safety, Excellence, Relationships, Value, and Ethics. This magic formula allowed them to grow from their one location in Fort Worth to three more in Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Thanks to this, they were able to add long-distance moves across the country to their list of services. The company, Firefighting's Finest Moving & Storage, also obtained an AMSA ProMover Certification. So you can be sure this team's services meet the highest standards. Besides local and long-distance moves, there are many other things Firefighting's Finest can help you with. There's packing and unpacking, long and short-term climate-controlled storage, and commercial, residential, and military moves. These pros are also experts at special care moves for pianos, pool tables, antiques, and grandfather clocks. Derrick Potter and Patrick Dodson deserve a standing ovation for what they do for their community. Not only do they provide all the services listed above, but they also give back through many local initiatives. Next time, go for the finest in the industry.
