Our Locations

If friends, family members, or work colleagues have moved to or from the relevant geographic area, ask for recommendations for moving companies, getting details about what worked well for them. As you gather recommendations, you’ll likely begin to hear the same names repeatedly. For those movers near you, check their website to ensure that they offer the services you need in the desired geographies. If you’re still interested in that particular mover, check their online reviews to see what customers say. Then, identify a couple of companies that rise to the top, getting moving quotes for your services of choice.

Suddath has an expansive reach in the United States with offices located in California, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington that provide services to a wide geographic range. In addition, we are an award-winning international moving company.

We invite you to get a prompt, accurate, customized quote for the services you want and need. If you need financing, please let us know.

Although you may find an average cost to move via an internet search, the reality is that wants, needs, distances, and plenty of other factors are so far-ranging that this average pricing doesn’t really have value. A more practical approach is to find a couple of quality moving companies that fit within the “movers near me” category and get quotes for your specific needs. Then, you can compare the quotes.

At Suddath, we’re transparent in sharing how we construct our estimates, providing visibility into the factors used and calculations. For local and long-distance moves, the elements that go into quotes are the weight of your belongings; the move’s distance; the move’s date; the optional services chosen; and added valuation coverage. You can find more details about each of these categories in the main body of this page.

Mover’s costs aren’t the only ones to consider when determining how much you’d pay to move. Some of the other costs include getting your current home ready for sale, which can include cleaning, making repairs, staging your home, and otherwise prepping it for potential buyers. Also factor in closing costs and real estate agent commissions when selling and then buying a home. Plus, if you’ll do any packing yourself, you’ll need packing materials and equipment.

People and pets will need to be transported, which could involve gasoline, lodging, meals, and/or airplane tickets. Will you have remodeling costs in your new dwelling? What about utility deposits and costs to stock your new home with food and supplies? If moving out of state, add the costs of car registrations, drivers’ licenses, and license plates into the mix.

If cost is your sole or main factor in decision making, then, yes. Doing it yourself will typically be cheaper than a professional moving company. On the other hand, DIY moves require lots of work and can come with plenty of hassle and stress. From packing to renting and picking up the right-sized truck to loading, planning out your route, driving, unloading, and returning the vehicle, you’ll be solely responsible and liable. Plus, even DIY moves have costs: the packing materials and equipment, vehicle, gas, labor (maybe you’ll pay friends and family), and more.

Contrast that to the expert assistance provided by professional movers near you—and how, when we pack your belongings, they’re protected by valuation coverage. Before making your decision, consider getting a quote and comparing to the costs you’ll end up paying for a DIY move. They may be less than expected, especially if you schedule on a weekday during the industry’s offseason of October through April.

Each moving company near you can offer services of choice, so we’ll only speak for ourselves. Suddath offers a flexible range of packing and unpacking services at each of our locations. Full packing means that we’ll take the entire task off your shoulders and to-do list, using the best materials and equipment for the job. With partial packing, you designate what we should box up: certain rooms, for example, or your most fragile items—or perhaps your last minute packing to finish the job. We also offer specialty packing services, including custom crating services, piano moving, and more. When you request a quote for our movers, you can let us know what degree of assistance you want and need.

Movers will appreciate being tipped although it’s not required. This Old House lists average tipping costs for movers in 2025 as $4 to $10 per hour per mover. As you calculate what you’ll give, take the difficulties of the move into consideration. This can involve lots of stairs or heavy or awkwardly-shaped belongings.

Moving means that you’re entrusting a lifetime of belongings to a relocation company. So, you’ll want an experienced team, and we have more than a century of experience with moves delivered by thoroughly vetted, background checked, and trained professionals. Then, from start to finish, at Suddath, you’ll be informed and guided by a knowledgeable single point of contact move counselor.

Our flexible moving services include packing and unpacking services, specialty moving services like full-service white glove moving experiences, custom crating services, piano moving, and more. After learning your requirements, we will design a customized move plan that takes your schedule, budget, and other unique needs into account. Our quotes contain transparent, detailed cost breakdowns of labor, transportation, packing materials, optional services, and any additional valuation coverage. As another value-added service, we offer financing for your move.

As step one, request a quote where you provide us with a few pieces of key information. Then, we’ll use that data to provide you with a prompt, accurate quote for your local, long-distance, or international move from our mover’s location nearest you. We look forward to serving you!
