I recently had the pleasure of working with Chad F. and Andy H. from Suddath for a move, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. From start to finish, they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Both Chad and Andy were prompt, friendly, and extremely efficient in handling all of our belongings with care. They took the time to carefully unwrap and secure everything, ensuring nothing was damaged during the move. Their positive attitude and great communication made a big difference, and I truly appreciated how hard they worked to get everything done on time. If you’re looking for a reliable and hardworking moving team, I highly recommend Chad and Andy at Suddath!

Gabriel , Andy and Huston were amazing. Gabriel did an amazing walk through, was kind, courteous and never made me feel like the work was too much or frustrating. He made me feel so at ease and relaxed. Andy moved fast and effectively and made sure every item was packed well. Huston was able to load boxes out of house and get things loaded quickly. Additionally I wanted to add a few extra pieces, and was unsure if they’d fit, the crew was quick to assist and asses to make sure all my needs were taken care of. I cannot recommend this trio enough!! 100 stars

FEATURED NEWS AND INFO

JACKSONVILLE MOVING COMPANY FAQ

How much does it cost to hire movers in Jacksonville?

The cost of hiring movers in Jacksonville depends on several factors, including the distance of your move, the size of your home, and the level of service you choose. Full-service moves, which include packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, and transport, will cost more than basic moving services. It’s also important to consider the time of year and any additional services like storage or specialized packing for fragile items.

Does your Jacksonville moving company offer long-distance moving services?

Yes, Suddath offers long-distance moving services from Jacksonville to anywhere in the U.S. or even internationally. Whether you're relocating across the state or to another country, our long-distance movers handle everything from packing and transporting your belongings to coordinating your move. We also offer flexible storage options and can help with customs paperwork for international moves.

What is the difference between local and long-distance movers in Jacksonville?

Local moving companies typically handle relocations within the same city or region, while long-distance moving companies are equipped to move you across state lines or even internationally. Long-distance movers must comply with federal regulations, which involves more planning and often higher costs. At Suddath, we handle both types of moves with the same attention to detail and care.

Are Jacksonville moving companies insured?

Yes, reputable Jacksonville movers like Suddath are fully insured. This includes liability and cargo coverage, which protects your belongings during the move. You’ll want to verify the level of coverage included in your move and consider additional insurance if you have high-value items. Our team can walk you through all available insurance options to ensure you’re covered.

What is included in a full-service move?

A full-service move includes everything from packing your belongings, loading them onto the truck, transporting them to your new location, and unpacking them at your new home. Additional services such as disassembly and reassembly of furniture, handling delicate items like artwork, and short or long-term storage options may also be available.

I’m moving across town. How long will a local mover in Jacksonville take?

The time it takes for a local move in Jacksonville depends on the size of your home and the amount of belongings you’re moving. Typically, a local move can be completed in one day, with smaller moves taking just a few hours. If packing services are included, the process may take longer. Our team will provide a timeline based on your specific needs.

Do I need valuation coverage?

We always recommend you check with your homeowner’s insurance first. While we probably have the best-trained crews in the industry, you have to consider the rain and the elements that we have in Jacksonville, Florida. It’s something you should consider – we don’t think you’ll need it, but an educated consumer is a wise consumer. If you’d like to learn more about valuation coverage, read our blog on the topic.

Can I choose any day to load my belongings?

You can choose any day to load your things. However, for the delivery, remember that typically we’re going to need a choice of several days, depending on how far you’re moving.

How can I prepare for my Jacksonville move?

Educating yourself on the web is always a good option – our website has a lot of materials to help you move, such as a moving checklist, no matter if you’re an individual looking for local, long distance, commercial, or international movers. Our trusted moving company can help. Our sales reps also act as professional consultants, and they’ll provide you with tips on how to either keep the costs down, or to take the stress out of the move.

What are my different options for a moving estimate? How can you simplify the process for me?

All of the estimates are no-cost and no-obligation. Whether you call-in or use our option for a virtual walkthrough using your smartphone, a salesperson will look at what your needs are, and then give you a couple of choices. An example would be a ‘not to exceed’ or a flat rate. We look at your move, your budget, the particulars of your move, and then we present what we think is going to work best for you.

How do you select and hire your employees? Do you use your own people, or do you contract some workout?

The best security in terms of your goods is a well-educated, well-trained driver. We train our drivers intensively through the Suddath University program, which is on-site in Jacksonville

As a Jacksonville moving company, we use a combination of our own employees and contractors. The contractors are full-time, 100% dedicated to us. We grow our own, which is the best way to do it, and because of our prominence in the market, training and overall investment in our people, the best come to us. We’re very selective about who we let join our Jacksonville mover’s team.

There’s a vetting process where we’re looking at their driving record, background, the number of years’ experience, safety records, the quality scores, all of those things to determine if they have the right stuff to join the team.

Moving in Jacksonville can be stressful. What can you do to make it easier and simpler for me?

As a local Jacksonville moving company, Suddath is basically a one-stop-shop. We can help you find the realtor; we can give you the moving estimates that fit your budget, we can give you the packing materials, informational videos and more. We’re a very consultative organization and provide support and visibility to your items every step of the way. We are not a high-pressure sale and, more than anything, we can make sure that our Jacksonville movers have the empathy and experience to work with you in what can be a challenging process.

Can my possessions be temporarily stored in Jacksonville with Suddath? If so, what are the differences between short-term and long-term storage?

We have a state-of-the-art 155,000-square foot facility with probably the best security system in Jacksonville. We have ambient storage, we have climate-controlled storage. We have a variety of storage options that will allow someone to work within their budget and make sure that if there are any special requirements. 

The main difference between short and long-term, or permanent, storage is the timeframe in which your household items will be stored. It’s important to remember that for interstate moves, your storage time may cap at 180 days. In either case, your items will be stored in a fully-enclosed vault within a warehouse in Jacksonville. With vault storage, our warehouse staff will pad wrap your valuables and carefully store them in the container.

Do you offer any discard and donation programs for Jacksonville customers?

Move for Hunger is a free service and program in which Suddath takes nonperishable food that you’re not bringing with you on your move and delivers it to local food banks. We also work with HabiJax, and several other charitable organizations so that if there is furniture you want to donate, we can put you in touch, or handle that on your behalf.

What do you do to ensure quality and customer satisfaction?

Customer satisfaction and quality emanate from several key functions. One is properly selecting the people that we think can provide an exceptional experience because of their ability to develop their soft skills. Part of it is our Suddath University training center, because we believe that training should happen at our facility, not inside of your home.

Another part of it is certainly the quality control personnel that are out there in the field who are stopping by to see how things are going, and part of it is our survey and feedback process so that we can take what you’ve shared with us and incorporate it into our training, and address anything if there is a need for that.

What commercial moving services do you offer in Jacksonville, FL?

We are the primary office mover here in Jacksonville. We have many large local businesses who use us exclusively, that’s one part of our business, and on the other hand, we handle operations like medical facilities, smaller office buildings, law firms, and more.

Our hotel is undergoing a remodel, what type of support do you offer?

We offer services such as project management, warehousing and distribution/sequencing, FF&E installation and transportation management. We service everything from business-class hotel chains like the Hilton Garden Inn to large international resorts, like Baha Mar in the Bahamas. Since we have locations in nearly every major market, we are able to provide cost savings of up to 40% in Suddath markets compared to non-asset-based providers Suddath also offers installation services and project management which work hand-in-hand to ensure your project is installed properly, on time and on budget.
