Our full-time, background-checked crews are experts in specialized packing for high-value items typical of Sarasota homes – from fine art and coastal decor to delicate chandeliers and grand pianos.

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.

Common Questions for Your Sarasota Move

How much do movers in Sarasota cost for a local move?

In 2025, local Sarasota moves are typically based on an hourly rate. For a standard 2-3 bedroom home, you can expect a range of $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the volume of items and whether you include professional packing. We provide free, binding estimates so there are no surprises on moving day.

Do you have experience with Lakewood Ranch or Siesta Key gate rules?

Yes. We are very familiar with the specific HOA regulations, gate access codes, and truck size restrictions in communities like Lakewood Ranch and the Keys. We handle all Certificate of Insurance (COI) requirements for luxury high-rises and gated enclaves.

What is the best time of year to move to Sarasota?

The most popular time is between January and April, but this is also “Peak Season” with the most traffic and highest demand. For better rates and availability, we recommend moving in May–June or September–October.

Is your storage facility climate-controlled?

Absolutely. In Sarasota, climate control is a necessity, not a luxury. Our secure facility maintains strict temperature and humidity levels to prevent mold, mildew, and warping of your wood furniture and electronics.

Can you move large or specialty items like grand pianos or pool tables?

Yes. Our specialized crews are trained in the heavy-duty rigging and delicate handling required for pianos, pool tables, and oversized sculptures. We also offer custom crating for these high-value items.
