LOCAL MOVING MADE EASY
Simplified Estimation Process
With Suddath, we make getting a moving estimate easier – giving you the option to do to a walkthrough virtually via a mobile device, or by scheduling an in-person walkthrough with one of our experienced representatives. Choose the option that is most convenient for you and your schedule. Once the walk-through is complete, your Suddath contact will generate a comprehensive, accurate quote and plan that covers every aspect of your move, from packing options, delivery details and even specialized services to transport unique items.
A Single Point of Contact
Suddath has been in business for over 100 years, and we’ve used that time to develop the services we know mean the most to our customers. Each customer has a local moving coordinator who will develop a personalized move plan and will review all of the services we offer in order to choose the most meaningful options for your move. These are trained and tenured members of our team who will help you implement a moving plan that fits your needs perfectly. Your local move coordinator will also help you create a checklist and keep you up-to-date on all of the details of your move.
Professional Packing and Unpacking
Our team is trained to help pack every item in your house with our complete packing service or help you with whatever packing solution fits your timeline and budget. With partial packing, we pack based on your direction. We also offer quality materials and advice if you opt for DIY packing. Of course, on moving day, we wrap your furniture and protect your home space as we securely load your belongings in the truck for transit.
Flexible Storage Solutions
Moving locally is usually a pretty simple task. However, there are times during a local move when Minneapolis residents need to store some or all of their belongings in the between or after their local moving processes. Whatever your storage needs may be, Suddath has options that are affordable and flexible to suit your needs. We have over 3 million square feet of storage facilities across the country, and our warehouse in Eden Prairie features 24/7 monitoring and is climate- controlled year-round, staying a moderate temperature for your most sensitive items.

LOCAL MOVING RESOURCES
LOCAL MOVING FAQ
We offer both in-home surveys and virtual walkthroughs to provide estimates for local moves. Your local move coordinator will walk through your home with you room by room to assess what needs to be moved. They will perform the walk-through at a time that is convenient for you. If you choose an in-home estimate, we will set an appointment with you at your home. If you prefer our virtual walkthrough, you will simply use your smartphone or tablet to give our team a video walkthrough of your home.
Once the walk-through of your choice is complete, you will have two options:
1. A non-binding estimate – this estimate is based on the total weight of your shipment. Keep in mind that we will not know the exact weight until moving day when all your items are loaded onto the truck.
2. A binding estimate – the cost of your move is provided upfront. So, if the final weight is above or below the estimate, you will only pay the rate we quoted to you.
We’re glad you’re asking this question. It’s unfortunate, but the reality is that there are many moving companies that are not properly insured, especially for local moves. Pay close attention to the quote process. All moving companies must perform a home walkthrough prior to the day of your move. It is not legal to provide a quote without performing a walkthrough and survey. If the company is unwilling to commit to a specific price or if they offer vague pricing options, we recommend finding a different moving company in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
Perform online research through reputable, third-party websites. Once you have read through Google reviews, visit the websites of independent organizations like the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”). They can verify that the companies you are considering are established and accredited. The BBB website provides access to complaints and responses from the moving company. This can provide insight into how the company responds when their customers are unhappy with the services they received.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, is another valuable source of information. This organization’s job is to make sure that all commercial carrier vehicles that meet certain requirements have a Department of Transportation (DOT) number. Once you have the DOT number, head over to the FMCSA website and look up the moving company’s compliance. You can also ask the moving company directly for their (DOT) number.
Finally, be sure to ask your mover for a record of all of the accreditations they have earned and the industry associations they have. Don’t forget to request their insurance information to be sure it’s up to date. Any reputable moving company is accustomed to supplying this information to its customers and will do so willingly.
You will be automatically provided with a $0.60 per lb. valuation, free of charge. However, we are happy to provide additional valuation coverage to every customer that wants more protection. One thing you should keep in mind is that valuation coverage is not insurance. In order to procure insurance for your move, you will need to work through a licensed insurance company.
Learn more about your valuation coverage options in our blog post on the subject.
Ideally, we recommend that you begin the process no later than two months before your desired move date. It’s not uncommon for things to change once you begin the process and starting in advance will give you plenty of time to manage any unexpected issues or developments.
Have less time than that before you need to move? Don’t worry. Our team in Minneapolis has over a century of local moving experience, we can help you get where you need to go.
