Local Home Moving Made Easy

Our goal is to simplify the local moving process, all the way from the initial quote process through to the final delivery of your goods at your new home. With Suddath®, it starts with an easier estimate. You have the option to do a walkthrough virtually via a mobile device, or by scheduling an in-person walkthrough with one of our experienced representatives. Those two options allow you to choose whatever is most convenient for your schedule.

Throughout the moving process, you will have a Suddath move coordinator acting as your direct line to any details regarding your move. That person will be your single point of contact with everything related to your local move, giving you the peace of mind to focus on your new home.

A broad range of local home moving services to fit your unique needs. Most people don’t move very frequently. This means that as you’re beginning this process, you may not even know what your local moving needs are, or what is available to you. Suddath provides a broad range of local moving services that are flexible and customizable to your needs and budget. Your dedicated move coordinator will discuss your move and our services to help you develop a personalized plan that is tailored to you.

Recently I had Dave and his team come move my house hold goods and they did a fantastic job! Dave accidentally scraped some concrete off of my front door step and immediately reported it to me. As a customer, I value honesty and integrity and was extremely grateful that Dave had the courage to report this immediately. The whole team was super helpful and personable. They took care of everything in a timely manner.

Micah and Monica were fantastic! I couldn't have asked for anyone to do a better job with delivery and set up than those two. They were super, friendly, hard working, and very careful with our new home and belongings. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

Tyrone Scott and Brandon Scott did an amazing job. My apartments forgot to reserve parking and the elevator, and they had to walk a very far distance carrying the items. They did this with no complaints and everything came back in the same condition. They also helped me find a missing couch leg that the movers in the previous location placed in a different location. Great service and thank you!! 10/10 on an excellent job

For example, if you decide you’d like to use our declutter service to stage your home and expedite its sale, we can quickly mobilize and temporarily store your items.

Our 3 million square feet of storage space across the country can quickly accommodate your storage needs, and your items during your local move will be stored in a climate-controlled space in a fully enclosed vault.

LOCAL MOVING FAQS

Do I need valuation coverage for my local move?

You are automatically covered at $0.60 per pound of your shipment, but for many items, this may not cover the full value. We always recommend you check with your homeowner’s insurance first for what you’re covered for under that. While we probably have the best-trained crews in the industry, having extra protection is 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, check out our blog post on the subject.

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

All 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 go through your home with you, and assess what your different needs are. They will then give you a couple of options depending on what works best for you.
 
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. Because we have many different service levels, we can scale up or down to balance your needs with your budget.

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

Suddath has state-of-the-art facilities across the U.S. all outfitted with industry-leading security systems. We have ambient storage, we have climate-controlled storage. We have a variety of options that will allow someone to work within their budget and make sure that if there are any special requirements, we have the logistical ability to handle it.
 
The main difference between short and long-term, or permanent, storage is the timeframe in which your household items will be stored. In either case, your items will be stored in a fully enclosed vault within a warehouse. With vault storage, our warehouse staff will pad wrap your valuables and carefully store them in the container.

Learn more about our storage services.

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

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

As a 100-year-old trusted moving company, we use a combination of our own local employees and contractors. The contractors are full-time, 100% dedicated to us. There’s a vetting process for any crew member or driver, and we assess driving records, perform background checks, as well as assessing the number of years’ experience, safety records, and quality scores to determine eligibility to work with Suddath.

Once someone, employee or contractor, begins to work with us, we put them through over 250 hours of in-house Suddath University training to ensure they are current with our methods, as well as all industry standards. Learn more about our training and certifications, as well as Suddath University.

Moving can be stressful, even for a local move. What can you do to make it easier and simpler for me?

Suddath is basically a one-stop-shop for a local move. We can help you find the realtor; we can give you the 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. Our dedicated local moving coordinators help you make every decision, keep you informed, and make sure that everyone is working from the same moving day plan. If you need any additional services, such as packing or storage, they can easily arrange it and add it to the plan.

What are the pros of hiring our local movers?

Families like yours have trusted us to relocate them for a century-plus, and we leverage our extensive experience in every move we undertake. We care about each of our customers and take exceptional care of their belongings. You can count on the expertise of our carefully vetted, background checked local movers who are thoroughly mentored before they provide local moving services.

You benefit from the power of choice: in packing and unpacking services (full or partial), safe, secure, and convenient storage services (which include our declutter and store program for when you’re going to stage your home for sale); and in specialty services (like custom crating, piano moving, and hands-off, white glove moving services).

Plus, we recognize that each move is unique, and your dedicated move coordinator will expertly manage the specialized details of your relocation. They’ll carefully explain our processes and answer your questions. Then, on move day, your local movers will be laser focused on your personalized plan.

What makes us the best option for your local move?

As the experienced choice, Suddath streamlines the local moving process from start to finish and provides peace of mind: from the initial quote until the last belongings are safely delivered. Our local movers manage 54,000 domestic moves each year with all our local movers being carefully vetted and background checked, receiving 250+ hours of mentored training. Because we believe training should happen on our time (not yours!), we ensure that our local moving crews receive this mentored training before going to your home.

Plus, we offer a menu of flexible storage services—and, because we know that nothing in life is guaranteed to go according to plan (including local moves), if you discover you need storage, we’ve got the bandwidth and resources to easily accommodate your needs. When you’re ready for your household items in storage to be delivered, we’ll bring them right to your new home’s doorstep. Or, if you need to declutter your home of excess belongings to attractively stage it for sale, we’ll temporarily store those items for you.

Then there are our specialty services, which include your choice of packing and unpacking services: full services where we’ll take all the heavy lifting off of your shoulders; partial services where you decide which rooms/belongings should be packed by our expert local movers; or the budget friendly option with DIY resources. We provide custom cratingpiano moving, and more—and, if you want a hands-free move, just ask for our white glove moving services!
