Southside is home turf for us — our office sits right in this district, just off J. Turner Butler Blvd near St. Johns Town Center. That means a Southside move usually gets the shortest possible drive time for your crew, and a team that already knows the area's apartment communities, office parks, and neighborhood streets without needing directions.

Southside Jacksonville Movers FAQ

Is 1st Choice Movers actually based in Southside?+

Yes — our office is at 11202 St Johns Industrial Pkwy N #2, right in this district.

Do you move apartments near St. Johns Town Center?+

Yes, regularly — this area has a high concentration of apartment communities and we know the buildings, parking, and access points well.

Can you help with a UNF-area student move?+

Yes — see our college & dorm room movers page for details on smaller, single-room moves near campus.

How quickly can you get a crew to a Southside address?+

Faster than almost anywhere else we serve, since our office is located right in this area.

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.
