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.

Swift Moves is a solid moving company. My wife and I had a great experience with Alex and Coldrick this Monday. Our items were handled hastily and with care. They were kind, down-to-earth, and I had no concerns the entire day. To the owners: I hope these men are well taken care of because they’re some of the best dudes we’ve encountered with moving. Would recommend/use again.

Alex and Antonio were amazing!!! They worked fast and diligently making the process seamless. Moreover, their professionalism was bar none. They minded all the materials and had no damage at all. Both were really helpful moving things in the new location until satisfied. I recommend the two of them without reservation.

I called Jeremy the owner of Swift Moves on Saturday of Labor day weekend, and I was in a bad situation . I explained to Jeremy that I had originally contracted with a bad company that not only didn’t show up on the contractual dates, but tried to extort the situation by charging me thousands more than my written estimate. So I had no choice but to terminate the bad company and try to find a good company at the very last minute. Swift Moves, Jeremy, calmly told me his Swift Moves company could get it done for me! I had his team of Alex and Jerrell. They were superb in every way…Hard working gentleman who you would be proud to have as your friends. I am so grateful that I had the courage to stop the bad company and sign up with a wonderful company instead. I will refer everyone that I know to this moving company who gets it done and who deals fairly! Every time I see that logo on one of his trucks, I will know that the next family or household will get the same exceptional service that I received. Thank You Jeremy, Alex and Jerrell!

This is by far the absolute WORST moving company I’ve ever used! The guys moved ridiculously slow, had zero work ethic, took tons of breaks, asked to charge their phone in my house and answered several phone calls and texts. They also made a stop to get drinks and stuff while in route to the 2nd location and at the end charged me for that break time on top of all the other times they were just standing around. Also they left trash in my 1st place and caused physical damage to the door frame that I now have to pay for. Plus they damaged several pieces of my furniture. Oh and how about they dropped my boxes several times and one of the times just left a box on the floor in the middle of the hallway. I’ve done this exact move two other times before and it usually took about 4 hours, it took this company 6.5 hours! These two lazy guys were clearly just milking the clock and screwing around. So basically do not use this company unless you want to pay a ton of money for unprofessional people moving at a snails pace.

We recently moved from Sarasota to North Port and even though we don't have a ton, we have two little ones. So moving ourselves would've been an absolute NIGHTMARE. We had Alex and Bubba and they were both very focused, quick, and professional. Things were a little chaotic the morning of the move and they helped make it go very smoothly. Everything made it to our new house just the way we wanted it and they put everything where we needed it to go. We had two quotes, one from this company and one from another company. I decided to go with these guys because it was lower and I am so glad that I did. I will most definitely recommend you guys to all and if we move in the future we will definitely use you again! Thank you so very much!!

Swift Moves was fantastic and worked extremely hard to ensure all went smoothly on our big move in St Pete. I was impressed from the very beginning when I booked an appointment, the gentleman asked all the right questions and had a good plan in place. And the good communication continued all the way until the move was complete. Thank you Swift Moves for taking one thing off our plate for an already stressful move! We'll certainly be calling you again the next time.

I tried to post a review and I don't know if it worked. Trying again because they are great. If you need something SAME DAY these guys offer that and so many other companies don't. They really work with people and care. I recommend.

Tim, Jeremy and Juan were an incredible team! They picked up our entire household of heavy furniture, boxes and tons of misc in Tampa and moved us into our new home in St Petersburg. They worked relentlessly in the extreme Florida heat, we’re very careful with our items and wrapped absolutely everything and very respectful. They refused to take a break of any kind. We are so thankful to them for all the hard, hard work, dedication and wanting to get every detail perfect for us! We can’t say enough about how nice and hard working these 3 men were! Thanks guys!!!!!!!

The movers did somewhat of their job. The professionalism of the office staff needs work. I had to send a list of everything that needed to be moved. After the move was complete, I found out that the movers left 7-8 items at my old place. I had to drive 5 hours to pick up the items that were left. The office staff tried to make it my fault and didn't want to own the mistake. This will be my 1 and only time using this company. And I will let Caterpillar also know, not to let their personnel not to use this company. Dropping to a 1 star. Going through boxes and unpacking, finding out things didn't make it off the truck, found broken things. Using this company has cost me $250 more to buy things they took. In response to their reply, I was told they didn't know when a truck would be coming my way again and they would ship the items they left as long as it didn't cost too much. Don't use this company. I found out the hard way

This company is awesome. I experienced an extremely traumatic situation with family members in Texas and had to move immediately. Close friends convinced me to relocate to Florida and I'm glad I did. I hired a company in Dallas and they are the worst. I learned that they split my shipment when they got to Florida. The driver hit a car in my community, called and said he refused to deliver and I needed to make arrangements with a storage facility to drop my load. He also blamed me for his accident. SMH. Ilooked up local movers and came across Swift, advised of my situation and he immediately fit me in for Friday (my call was Wednesday afternoon) to help comfort me as a result of all the stress I was experiencing. The movers showed up at the storage place promptly understood what happened yo me and assured me that I would be taken care of in a very compassionate manner. They were awesome. I highly highly highly recommend this company. Thank you, Jerome, Wesley and Jeremy. You are the best! Stacy Patrick

I've used Swift Moves for at least 5 different moves over the last decade and they've always been 5-star. They were able to do a very short notice move recently for a family member that involved very heavy items and unusual delivery instructions. It's great to know I can depend on them to answer calls/texts promptly, send courteous and hard-working movers, and provide professional, quality service at a reasonable price.

Cedric and his crew were absolutely phenomenal and extremely efficient during the moving process! Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Swift movers are awesome! The guys were on time and worked diligently and fast to complete the job. They were polite and professional from beginning to end. The owner actually called about 5 days after the move to see if we were satisfied. I thought customer service was a thing of the past but this company and the owners are a class act.

D Chris

SWIFT movers are the best in the business. They are professional, friendly and the price was a great value. My experience was fantastic. Tim and Shamsr are the dream team. They quickly got to work with care and 'swiftness' Justin from the office represented the company in the most professional manner. From the phone call to the move everything was done above and beyond my expectations.

RJ Raposa

They moved us from Clearwater to NPR - scheduled two different moves. Great service - I got several quotes and Swift was the lowest = great movers - will def. use again.

Amanda Hernandez

17:37 29 May 22

Don’t normally write reviews unless the service was horrible or great. Used Swift Moves to help me move my apartment into a house 45 minutes away. Decided to go with them because the customer service (I spoke with Justin) was very friendly and they were able to schedule me last minute at a good price. When the guys came for pick up they were very professional and we went through everything that was going to be moved and signed all the paperwork that was needed. Once the guys got to work they were like tornadoes wrapping, packing and loading everything quickly and efficiently. I would recommend them and most likely will use them again.

Jeremy is THE MAN! I got a job offer that has me moving in two weeks. That's not a lot of time, especially when Google gives you 40 different movers all 4.5 or higher. But here's what sets them apart. Even though Jeremy quoted a very fair rate, there were two movers that were cheaper. He took time to show me how they underestimated the hour, so that more could be tacked on. He pointed so much out to me that I was completely oblivious to. I never knew how many hidden fees there were in moving. I kid you not he spent over an hour helping me, even if he didn't get my business he didn't care. He cared that I got up there safely and with all my stuff in perfect order. This is why I will continually use Swift moving. From start to finish it was a white glove experience and one that I will gladly recommend to any friend who needs to move! Thanks again Jeremy!

Catherine Brown

I had an urgent move come up and they made sure to get my belongings from one place to a new storage unit (on extremely short notice) while I was out of state. They could not have been more responsive, helpful or professional. I cannot give them a high enough rating or recommendation!

Randall Broome

16:21 27 Apr 22

The quoting was responsive and a good value. The movers were fast and very professional ... they did a very good job packing and unloading. I would recommend them.

Thanks, Swift Moves! The person who received our call (sorry, I forgot his name) answered every question and gave a clear, well-explained quote that helped us make a decision that we felt comfortable with. The movers, Tyler and Jared, were courteous, professional, quick, yet careful.

Thomas Powers

Great team. I've used them twice now. They are reasonably priced and a pleasure to work with. They kept me informed about timing as the event approached. I got three movers and their truck. The team was efficient and careful, moving an upright piano, a heavy elliptical exercise unit, and a houseful of furniture, art and TVs. I definitely recommend them.

Pamela Hall

13:42 16 Mar 22

I had such a wonderful experience from setting up the move with Jestin all the way to the end of the move. I would highly recommend, and ask for Tyler, Zeric and Jared. These gentleman are extremely professional, efficient and really know how to get the job done right. They even stayed a couple minutes extra helping out putting the apartment back exactly how we wanted it. Thank you again Swift Moves !!!!!! ( not one item was even scratched)

Michael P

we moved our house with swift moves and Justin was very helpful and flexible on the timing. Tyler did the organization and filled the 26 ft truck. Chris was a beast and could carry anything and was very helpful. The whole crew was kind and courteous and did a great job.

Kerry Miller

Swift moves moved my step mom and we we’re extremely disappointed. I understand things happen during moves and stuff gets broke, but what I can’t stand is when a company tries to hide those mistakes. I found the lamp in my own trash can. I guess they thought I wouldn’t find it in there. They took the plastic wrap stuff off everything but the sofa and now I know why. And they got an attitude when I asked if they would put a bed together for me. I understand they didn’t take it apart but I am paying hourly and a good amount per hour, as well. Finally after I told them I would throw them some extra cash, they agreed to assemble it. What you see in the picture is how they left it. I don’t even know what to say about that. Honesty goes a long way in life and if they were dishonest on this level, I just wonder how much more they are trying to sneak by customers. Definitely won’t get a recommendation from me.

I would like to give much credit and thanks to Tyler and his two guys for helping us move from St. Petersburg to Wesley Chapel on Saturday February 19th. They were fast and did an awesome job! Most of all they were all very respectful to my wife and I and our property. That says a lot!

Dustin Morrow

The young men who moved us were incredibly professional, courteous and worked tirelessly. If I needed a mover again I wouldn’t look around-I would call Swift Moves. Totally outstanding.

Kenny Schaaf

15:23 17 Feb 22

The crew that was sent was very courteous and that is the reason for a 2 and not a 1 star. Even though they were courteous there was a lack of care with some of my larger furniture. While taking apart my desk that should have been handled by 2 people the one person dropped the top portion of my desk breaking the wood on the top of the desk. When the desk feel it put a large hole in the wall and it struck my 43” Sony TV And shattered that as well. They did knock $200 off the price but I’m still in the hole well over $700 replacing the TV, repairing the damage and losing 1/3 of my desk. I do not recommend.

Eileen Healy

12:07 16 Feb 22

Great local company, super friendly and helpful. Their crew was fast and efficient, showed up on time and ready to go. They charged us the agreed price, no hidden extras. We will definitely use them again!

A great overall experience. Tim and Shemar were amazing. They were professional, extremely personable, knowledgeable, and hard working. We had a couple odd items that went into a mobile home and it didn’t phase these guys at all.if I hired 10 different companies, 8 of them would’ve at least scratched a wall. Tim and Shemar communicated with each other ave executed those items flawlessly. Highly recommend!!

Swift Moves

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!

Just had a local move with Jeremiah, Paul and Wesley. All three guys were professional , prompt and courteous . They wasted no time on securing our furniture etc and made sure we were pleased with the results. Great value at great price, would use them again.Thanks guys !

Swift moves is great! Kevin, Paul, and Ronaldo are top notch employees who worked really hard and beat the estimated time. These guys move! Recommend this company to anyone looking for no hassle move.

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 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!!
