How long does it take to move a home?

The best answer to this question is – it depends. There are many factors that influence how long your move will last. The weather, the distance, the size of your relocation etc.

When should I pay for moving services?

Normally, after the relocation is finished. Anyway, we suggest contacting the movers and asking if they have a specific deadline.

When is the best time to move?

There are two answers to this question. ○ If you want the best weather and full comfort for your move, summer is definitely the time when you should move. ○ If you want the best price for your move, then the off-peak season is the recommended time for your move. For moving, the off-peak season is winter.

When should I hire a moving company?

To make sure you’ll be able to hire the best movers and to get the best price, hire a moving company at least a few months in advance.

This company was excellent. They had to deal with 3 flights of stairs to move us out of our townhome. And up stairs to get to our 2nd story apartment. Very professional, polite and extremely courteous. They arrived on a Sunday morning...We surely would reccomend them.

Fast and friendly! We had three guys come out who worked great together and had great, friendly attitudes. They wasted no time, and moved our two bedroom house in less than 3 hours. They were also careful with our furniture.

During a VERY stressful time of moving to another state, I used this company to load my belongings on the moving truck. The three fellas that participated in that move Chris, Terrell, and Alex were kind, efficient, and professional. Their great customer service made me smile during such a stressful time. Great going Guys!

We just used Swift Moves to move from Largo to Ocala. The guys came, asked questions, and wasted no time in getting us up there. Can't be the price either. Glad we used them.

We just used these guys. We are unpacked and in our new home.Summary: Hire this company. Save yourself the time and energy. This company can do the ‘heavy lifting’ that stresses people in every move.Review: Beyond expectations. They took great care and handle of all of our items. They worked quickly and efficiently. Their rate was already below what their competitors were (and we had shopped around to about 15 different places), and they performed perfectly.I have already told my realtor friends about these guys. Hopefully I’m able to give them some extra business because more companies should have staff like this.Tim, Tim and Tyler. Ask for these pros by name. You will be more than happy with the results.No dings, no damage, no headaches, all quality. They packed a lot, worked with us on our “handle with care items” and then loaded it up. Lighting quick.Thank you and your team for such an stress relieving service.PS. I thought I00%, that I knew how much time the move would take. I was way off and I’m glad Justin and Jeremy corrected it. Take their recommendations, you’ll save more time and money.

Had an excellent experience with Swift Moves! They were able to accommodate a last-minute change in the date of my move when my closing date got moved up, as well as worked with me on moving the time of the move back to accommodate the rain the morning of my move. Josh, Chris, and Tyler were awesome, fast, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing! Highly recommend Swift Moves!

I manage a small custom cabinet shop and when the last moving company I used closed without its doors without notice Swift Moves came and has been nothing but amazing for almost a year! With any where from 2-8 delivery a month they have always been punctual, Courteous, easy to work with and have always been available to move even on very short notices of a day or less! Would highly recommend using them!

The Tim’s were great! Both movers names were Tim and they did a great job. We were moving from a 3 story Townhouse which meant a lot of stairs and turns. The Tim’s handled our stuff with care and it all got to our new place intact and pretty fast for having to maneuver the stairs. Would use Swift again and would recommend them to anybody looking for movers.

My husband and I used Swift Moves on June 27, 2021. I have used so many moving company’s and I am so happy to say they were on time and under budget, I couldn’t ask for a better move! They wrapped and protected my furniture as if it were there own. I would recommend them to anyone!!!!! Great job guys!

I would not recommend using this company!!The two young men got sloppy toward the end of the job and put furniture in the pod and U-Haul where it would have gotten damaged if I had not noticed it in time.In addition, a pair of brand new Apple AirPods were missing after they left. They do not admit to taking them, but they were in plain sight before they arrived and no longer there after they left. Management is not willing to remedy this situation. Their only suggestion was that I call the police, whom I know will do nothing about it.

My movers, Tyler and Tyler were great! I called several different movers and they quoted me over $2k for a Sarasota to St. Pete move! Swift moves had the best quote. Tyler and Tyler were on time, funny, easy to work with, responsible, and quick! Not one issue or ounce of trouble! I highly recommend Swift Moves! Have already told my realtor about you guys to tell her clients! Thank you for making this stressful time a smooth transition!!

Jeramiah & Tyler were on time, true professionals and a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend Swift Moves here in St. Pete! From our first contact with Justin to discuss the move and pricing through to completion of our move - again thanks to the great work of J & T! Thank you Swift Moves!

Tyler and Jeremiah arrive on time. Surveyed the scope which was a 1900sqft home and only going 5 blocks so they started. They had everything disassembled, loaded, moved and unloaded in 3 hours. They charged exactly what was quoted. Most companies I called the rate was just about the same but Swift told me they would use blankets and wrap the wood furniture. Tyler and Jeremiah did just that! Super team! Thanks guys.

This company is truly phenomenal! They are very personable, friendly, kind, reliable, punctual, and most importantly always professional. During my move, we found out that our unit had a pest control problem and our apartment complex had to relocate us immediately. Swift moves was amazing enough to accommodate 2 moves in the same week under very short notice. They went above and beyond to help us out in our unique situation, and I would recommend this company to anybody who needs help moving and would like the process to be stress free. I cannot stress enough how amazing this company is, and I will most definitely be using their services the next time I move. Thank you Swift Moves!!!

Dame and another man who i forget his name now came out. (I’m getting old, I’m sorry). They did an amazing job moving our things condo to condo. Super friendly. Personable. Easy to get along with. And a quick move.

Jeremiah, Geno, and, Paul did an amazing job, they were super professional and sweet to talk to. The rate may be slightly higher, but these guys will get it done so quickly you’ll end up saving money when compared to the competition, genuinely.I’m a repeat customer for life

Lea Snow

I fully recommend their service. They sent out 3 young men, Paul, Wallace and Geno. They were friendly and respectful. They did a wonderful job moving my belongings into storage. They are reasonably priced. I will be using this service again.

Even with last minute changes. Jeremy honored our original rate. The team was professional, friendly and funny. A few inexpensive items were broken but the value was deducted from my total with no hassle. Good Choice Overall.

I used Swift Moves recently for a move from St. Pete to Tampa. Communication throughout the whole process was great. Jeremy was easy to deal with and was very professional about everything. They called to remind me a few days before, and called me when they were on the way with an ETA as promised. Tim & the two other guys who helped were very nice and friendly and they got the work done within the quoted time. I’ll certainly be calling them for a quote on our next move when our lease is up!

We had a great experience! Tim & Matt were very professional. They unassembled, moved and reassembled the furniture with great care. We have a big massage chair which we were worried about moving. Tim took time and was very detailed with the unassembly and then reassembling the chair after the move. During the move, one of our dinning chairs got broken which they did not charge for. Very happy with their service !

We donated some office furniture to Gulfcoast legal services and Swift Move was contracted by them to move it. They showed up on time with great attitudes and professional workmanship. I would definitely recommend them to others.

What an amazing experience and service provided by Swift Moves. Tye and Robert were extreme professionals and really took care of every detail from packing and unpacking and assembly of furniture. Highly recommend. Thanks for taking a stressful event and making it go so smoothly.

Thank you to Robert and Ty! They were professional, accomodating, and gracious! I really appreciate the great job they did helping us with our move! Justin was also so patient and helpful as I made (and needed to change) my reservations! We're very pleased!

Moving is always such a stressful time and this move seemed to be particularly so. When I decided to hire movers to handle the larger items in my house, I put out an internet inquiry. Justin was quick to respond, his prices were competitive and fair and he was friendly and easy to speak to...moreso than the majority of the others that I spoke with, so he got the job.Come moving day, the three gentlemen who showed up to my house exactly on time, were not only thorough and very careful with all of my belongings (to the point that they took more care than perhaps I would have with certain items), but they were polite and friendly and very, very helpful.Moving with Swift Moves made my move much easier. Start-to-finish they were professional and courteous, the price was fair, and God forbid I have to move again, I would go right back to them to handle the job. If you want it done right, you can't go wrong with Swift Moves.

We had a great local move experience with Swift Moves. Tyler and Robert were our movers and they were just fantastic. They were both very polite and took care of our items like it was their own. They both were quick and efficient. The price was also affordable for the move. I would most certainly use Swift Moves again in the future.

Overall had a decent experience with them for my move. Only complaints are they guys were right around 30 minutes late from their scheduled time frame, our TV got busted in the move (which they have a liability waiver for), one of our end tables had a leg broken off, and they forgot our computer desk at the previous place. The guys were super friendly and were trying to be quick which I appreciate. Probably won't use again because of the aforementioned issues.

My mother decided to move, and because she had numerous problems with her last moving company, I came from out of state to make sure everything went smoothly. Hiring Swift Moves was all the help my mother needed. Tim and his crew were amazing!!! They were professional, personable, funny, and moved around like a well oiled machine. They immediately eliminated any stress we were feeling. I can’t thank these guys enough. If I was judging from 1 to 10, I give Swift Moves an 11!! Awesome job guys!!!

22:58 18 Oct 20

Excellent company! Absolutely outstanding customer service from beginning to end.When I called to get prices and details, Jestin was very professional and answered all of my questions and sent me an email with all of the details we discussed. I needed to move almost immediately, and Justen was able to schedule my move for only 4 days later.The company kept in constant contact with me, up until the morning of the move.Tim, Dustin and Tim arrived right on time and immediately got to work.They were all very professional, but funny and kind too. They seem to really like their job despite the hard work they do.They were so careful with my antiques and other belongings. They also packed up closets, the kitchen and utility room. These spaces were overflowing with junk, but they had it down to a science.I one million percent recommend Swift Moves. I’ve never been so impressed with a moving company, and I’ve used lots of them.Thank you Tim, Dustin and Tim for your hard work and for treating my house and belongings with such care. Thank you also for the laughs. Y’all were a lot of fun to have around. 😊😊

If you want the inconvenience of not being able to use the elevator where you live because these guys are inconsiderate enough to fill the elevator up and only take one thing out at a time then this is the company for you.. there are people who cant use stairs and because this company is rude and inconsiderate of people who live there the handicap people cant do what they need to do because they cant leave. They will also cut you off while you are waiting for the elevator as if they are the only one in this world. One of the guys for this moving company tossed his cup on the ground instead of walking the 5 feet to the dumpster. I sure know that when I go to move in a month I will not be calling them after what I witnessed, watching them move the new people.

April Rose

Tim, Tim and Robert did an amazing job moving my sister's house out of a storage unit and into her new house! They were professional, quick and all had a great attitude. I would definitely recommend this company and will reach out to them in the future for any moving needs. Thanks guys!
