Local Home Moving Made Easy

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 crating, piano moving, and more—and, if you want a hands-free move, just ask for our white glove moving services!

Local moving is typically defined as a move that’s fifty miles or less in distance. For example, it could involve moving from a city to its suburbs (or vice versa) or from one town to an adjacent one and is generally completed in a day.
