EASY LOCAL MOVING
Dedicated Local Moving Coordinators
Throughout every step of your local move, you will be personally assisted by a dedicated professional move coordinator. They will provide the transparency and planning needed ensure that your home, family, and household goods are safe and treated with care.
Every step of the way, your local move coordinator will serve as your one call for any need, question or assistance you may have. They will ensure that on moving day, everyone is working from the same moving plan to avoid issues and stress.
Easy Video Walkthrough and Estimate
The first step in your local moving process is to schedule a walkthrough with one of our coordinators. Suddath makes it easy and convenient for you, offering virtual or in-home walkthroughs. During this process, our team will analyze your belongings to provide you with an accurate moving quote based on the services you choose.
During this meeting, your move coordinator can answer all of your questions about the packing, loading, and unloading process. They will also provide you with details about all of the local moving services we offer so that you can get everything you need and nothing you don’t.
Professional Packing and Unpacking
For some customers, packing up their home is the most stressful part of a local relocation. For others, the process can be cathartic and even enjoyable. For those that find packing to be a tedious, stressful experience, Suddath can handle all of the packing for you with our full-packing service.
For customers who enjoy the packing and unpacking process and want a DIY experience, Suddath will arrive to load and unload all your personally packed boxes. For anyone in between, we have a partial packing service and will pack only what you need.
Easy Declutter and Storage Service
We designed our declutter and storage service to help customers who want to store certain items while their home is being staged for resale, or simply if you need to off-load some items while you’re in the process of packing.
It is also an excellent program for those who want to downsize what they will be moving to their new location. If you need to make room for a minimalist lifestyle in your new home, this program will help you inventory the contents of your home.

THE VILLAGES LOCAL MOVING FAQ
Suddath offers a preplanned moving guide that is going to give you an eight-week timeline of things that you should be doing to get prepared for your local move. Our local movers know how stressful this can be in your life. They do an excellent job of letting you know that we're here, that we understand what we need to do, and we're going to take care of your stuff. We're going to try to take the stress off your plate, and we're going to handle this move the right way.
In Central Florida, we have 10,000 square feet of climate-controlled storage space. From there, the primary difference between short- and long-term or permanent storage is the timeframe for which your items will be stored. For interstate moves, remember that short-term storage caps at 180 days. In either case, your items will be stored in a fully-enclosed vault within our warehouse. With vault storage, our warehouse staff will carefully store and pad wrap your valuables in the container.
We have monthly safety meetings and quality meetings to go over any new topics or standards. We also have Suddath University located at our headquarters in Jacksonville, where we send our crews and our drivers to get annual training. We also do that here at the facility, with our background checks and training on the U, which is an online class through Unigroup, for additional training opportunities.
Also, we have an extensive tenure with most of our staff in Central Florida, not only in the office but out working local moves. So, we lean on those folks a lot too to help the new people coming on board.
