We were very pleased with First Class Moving. We had them pack and move us and they were professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with every item. They handled both the heavy furniture and the fragile pieces with the same level of attention, and it made the move much less stressful than it might otherwise have been. What really stood out was their positive attitude and clear communication throughout the entire process. They worked quickly and carefully without ever feeling rushed. If you’re looking for movers who are reliable, respectful, and genuinely committed to doing great work, I highly recommend them. Phil was extremely helpful in our move, patiently answering all the dumb questions we asked and keeping us advised throughout the process.

Used them a few times. Professional, efficient, reasonably priced and excellent client service. We have moved several times internationally and nationally with different moving companies but found First Class Moving Company checks all the boxes. Steve is experienced, client focussed, great to deal with and knows what he is doing for the best interest of client and his firm.

From the moment we requested a quote, to the final delivery, Phil and the entire team provide great service. Phil was prompt with his appointment to quote and work with us on the best way to handle the move. The scheduling team always returned our calls and answered any questions we had. The packers and loaders were careful with our furniture and the people who unloaded were timely when unloading. Phil was exceptionally knowledgeable about the business and was professional and prompt with his appointments. Was always willing to answer any questions. We heard about Phil fro someone else and he didn’t disappoint.

Frequently Asked Questions for North Sarasota Movers

How much do movers in North Sarasota cost in 2025?

For local moves within North Sarasota, prices typically range from $120 to $180 per hour for a team of two movers and a truck. A standard 2-bedroom home move generally costs between $800 and $1,500, depending on the volume of items and packing services required. We offer free, in-home estimates to provide an exact, binding quote.

Do you have experience with gated community regulations?

Yes. We frequently work in communities like Lakewood Ranch and Palm Aire. We coordinate with your HOA or property manager to provide the required Certificate of Insurance (COI) and ensure our trucks follow all designated parking and time-of-day restrictions.

Can you handle a move for a seasonal resident (Snowbird)?

Absolutely. We provide specialized services for seasonal residents, including furniture storage, vehicle shipping, and “arrival/departure” prep services to make your transition between homes seamless.

Is my furniture protected during the move?

We use premium moving blankets, shrink wrap, and floor runners on every job at no extra cost. For high-value items like antiques or glass-top tables, we offer specialized crating and full-value protection plans for total peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my move?

North Sarasota is a high-growth area, especially during the peak spring and summer months. We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, though we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible.
