Local Jacksonville Crew

We've been moving Jacksonville families and businesses since 1996 — from the historic streets of Riverside and Avondale to the fast-growing communities stretching toward the beaches, St. Johns County, and St. Augustine. Jacksonville is a big, spread-out city, and every part of it moves a little differently: downtown high-rises, Southside office parks, Westside neighborhoods, beachside condos. We know the difference because we've worked in all of them.

Good To Know

Our office sits right off J. Turner Butler Blvd in the Southside/Baymeadows area near St. Johns Town Center, which keeps most of the city within an easy, predictable drive — no guessing on arrival windows because of Jacksonville's size.

Movers in Jacksonville, FL FAQ

What parts of Jacksonville do you serve?+

All of it — from Riverside and Avondale to Southside, Arlington, Mandarin, the Beaches, and out into St. Johns County. See the neighborhood links on this page for area-specific details.

Where is 1st Choice Movers based?+

Our office is at 11202 St Johns Industrial Pkwy N #2, in the Southside/Baymeadows area near St. Johns Town Center.

Do you only do local moves, or long-distance too?+

Both. See our local movers and long-distance & interstate movers pages for details on each.

How long have you been serving Jacksonville?+

Since 1996 — nearly thirty years as a family-owned, Jacksonville-based moving company.

Are you licensed to move within Florida?+

Yes — FL Mover IM #891, USDOT #1473292, MC #556261.

Do you bring your own moving equipment, like dollies?+

Yes — every crew brings furniture dollies, hand trucks, and moving straps as standard equipment. You don't need to provide or rent anything.

Do you provide floor runners or floor protection in the house?+

Yes — floor runners and protective coverings are standard on every move, especially for hardwood, tile, and carpeted stairs. It's not an upcharge or something you need to request separately.

Do you protect the furniture with moving pads?+

Yes — furniture is wrapped in moving pads and blankets before it's loaded, to protect it from scuffs and damage in transit. This is standard on every move.

Do you wrap furniture in plastic or shrink wrap too?+

For upholstered furniture, mattresses, and anything that benefits from an extra layer — especially in Florida's humidity — yes, shrink wrap over the moving pads is common practice.

Will you protect doorways, corners, and railings during the move?+

Yes — door jamb protection and corner guards are part of our standard setup, especially in tighter hallways, stairwells, and apartment or condo buildings.

Do you strap items down in the truck so nothing shifts in transit?+

Yes — everything is strapped and secured in the truck before we drive, so nothing shifts, tips, or slides during transport.
