Chad, Chris and Andy were consummate professionals who handled our friend’s belongings as if they were their own. This is the only company I would ever use for any moving needs.

The Suddath moving process was seamless. The movers were professional, took great care of the belongings, including wrapping an antique bubbled glass hutch buffet very well. They accommodated our changes (can you move this over there?), and did it all with great attitudes and really seemed to enjoy their job. You get what you pay for when it comes to moving.

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

Long and Short-Term Storage Options in Jacksonville

Even moving around the block may require a quick storage option. For instance, our declutter program can help you temporarily store your belongings to help during showing and selling time. Or perhaps you require a longer-term storage solution for some of your items if your new home has a smaller footprint.

Whatever your storage needs may be, Suddath can accommodate. We have over 3 million square feet of storage facilities across the country, and our 155,000 square-foot warehouse in Jacksonville features 24/7 monitoring and is climate- controlled year-round, staying a moderate temperature for your most sensitive items, especially with the humid-weather conditions in Florida.

JACKSONVILLE LOCAL MOVING FAQ

How much do local movers in Jacksonville charge per hour?

There’s no standard charge across moving companies with each local moving company in Jacksonville setting their own rates and methods for calculating quotes. At Suddath, we’re totally transparent about how we determine our estimates for local movers in Jacksonville, using these five factors:

• Household belongings’ weight: If you reduce the weight, you can reduce the cost of your local movers in Jacksonville. For things that have no value, toss them. For others with value that you don’t need, donate them to charities, gift them to friends and family members, or sell them. As part of this strategy, decide which items you want put into safe, secure local storage. Then, request your moving quote.
• Move’s mileage: With a local move, this maxes out at fifty miles.
• Move’s date: When you schedule your move on a weekday, you could get a lower estimate from your local moving company in Jacksonville. For an even more cost-effective move, do so in October through April to take advantage of the off season.
• Selections from our flexible service menu: Choose from our packing and unpacking services and storage solutions.
• Additional moving valuation coverage: Check out this resource, and read the answer to this FAQ: What is valuation coverage?

What day is cheapest to hire movers?

In general, Monday through Thursday is more cost effective than a weekend move. So, if your schedule allows for a weekday relocation, that’s when to schedule with your local movers in Jacksonville. As another tip, avoid May through September moves, if possible, along with any spikes in local demand (perhaps around the holidays).

Then, to get the most cost-effective quote for your move, reduce the weight of belongings that will be transported. Here are pro tips:

• Toss or recycle what no longer has value to anyone.
• Donate belongings to charities: You can donate your gently used items to one of the places in Jacksonville that accepts donations. This includes well-known places like the Salvation Army and Goodwill along with other, perhaps lesser-known, locations.
• Gift friends and family members: If they can use an item, but you no longer can, you could give them those possessions.
• Sell household items: You could hold a rummage sale, take belongings to consignment shops, sell them online, and so forth. Use those funds, if desired, towards moving expenses.
• Store selected belongings: If you aren’t sure what to transport to your new home, you might decide to store them while you make up your mind or determine if there’s enough space.

After you’ve gone through this process, connect with your local moving company in Jacksonville: Suddath. If you’d like more information or tips about the cost of local movers, continue reading.

How should I pick a local moving company in Jacksonville?

You’ll want experienced movers in Jacksonville, and Suddath has served the city since 1919: more than a century! Ensure that movers have a legitimate website and, while there, make sure that they have a specialty in local moving. Check their licenses and accreditations (upon request, we’ll happily share ours), if they’ve won awards, their Better Business Bureau rating, and so forth. If you’ve had friends and family members who have moved in the region, ask them for their recommendations for local movers in Jacksonville. When movers arrive to provide you with an estimate, be wary if their truck doesn’t have a logo or has a cheap stick-on one. Other red flags: verbal-only quotes and pressure to quickly sign on the dotted line.

How do I book a moving company?

We make it super simple. You can request a quote online where you’ll include a few pieces of key information, including your desired move date. We’ll provide you with a free estimate and, upon your agreement, as part of this process, we’ll confirm your relocation date.

Are people moving to Jacksonville, FL?

According to a 2023 report, Jacksonville is one of the country’s largest “Boomtowns,” taking issues like housing, jobs, wages, and business and the general local economy into account. One of the reasons that Jacksonville received this designation is two-fold. First, from 2019 through 2021, the city experienced a five percent increase in population. During that same period, median earnings went up by 12.8 percent, demonstrating Jacksonville’s “desirability and prosperity.” The report notes how remote workers, in particular, are eager to call Jax home.

This doesn’t even account for Jacksonville Beach, Little Talbot Island State park and other parks, Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, Timucuan Ecological & Historical Preserve, and so much more—including its sunshine two thirds of the days of the year.

When you need local movers in Jacksonville, count on Suddath for a free, personalized estimate, flexible service menu, and smooth move. We’re located on Western Way by many of Jacksonville’s fine restaurants and businesses.  Request your moving quote today!

What are the best tips for packing for a move?

First, organize an area for your packing so that you’ll have a safe, decluttered space. Pack books and other heavier items into smaller boxes so that they don’t get too heavy to lift, putting lighter items in larger ones. Get help with heavy items and boxes, handling them with care. After a box is appropriately packed, seal up the box before moving onto another one.

Use good quality equipment, including a dolly, when moving large or heavy items like appliances or furniture. Strap them down well, navigating the dolly smoothly so that nothing gets damaged. Cover mirrors, glass on large pictures, and so forth with an “X” via masking tape for protection before padding and packing them in a snug carton.

Things to give away rather than pack include these hazardous items: batteries, candles, charcoal starters, cleaning products, fire extinguishers, kerosene, propane, and other flammable materials. Make sure that your lawnmower is emptied of all gas and oil and guns of any ammunition.

Reach out for help from friends or family members or through our local moving company in Jacksonville, including our packing and unpacking services.
