We could not be happier with Sunshine Movers! Their team had us moved quickly and efficiently and at a phenomenal price. We will use Sunshine Movers again and will highly recommend them to anyone who asks us for a referral! Five stars plus for their service and pricing!

If I could give this company 10 stars I would! As an owner of a moving company myself, I am extremely particular and have very high expectations. This company, the owner and the crew, never disappoint! Blake is always willing to help and share his knowledge and wisdom with other owners for the sake of the professionalism of the industry, and the crew-members he employs are fantastic! We are based in New Jersey and often move our clients to Florida.

When they reach back out to us looking for a local move within Florida we always turn to Blake knowing that he and his team will service their move flawlessly. If you are in his service area looking for a professional, trustworthy, quality and skilled moving company - look no further than Sunshine Movers! I HIGHLY recommend!

Have moved a lot - and had our best moving experience ever with Sunshine. Crew was extremely efficient and took great care with our furniture and belongings. Plus they had great can-do attitudes and sense of humor. When they unloaded us, they made sure everything was where we wanted it and everything was cleaned up. Definitely recommend them

I learned about Sunshine removers from referrals online from others who had positive experiences. They were very responsive, helpful, and professional from the moment I reached out to them. They even worked with me on changing the date of my move when I needed to. The movers were awesome. They were fast and accommodating to make sure everything was placed how I wanted. Overall, I am very pleased with my move and would use them again in the future.

We had a big move, combining two separate law offices into one. Not only did they come out on several occasions to meet with us and explain how everything was going to happen, they were able to accommodate our time frame and move us on a weekend. All of the workers were extremely friendly, helpful, and you could tell they enjoyed their job. The owner personally sat down with me and reviewed our "game plan" and everything worked out just as he said.

In fact, they moved us one day sooner than originally thought. They took great care in packing all of our items and were even able to move a huge granite conference room table. They were up for any challenge that came up and were very helpful when and were unpacking everything. Our office was only closed for one day (Friday) and we were able to open for business on Monday. I can't say enough great things about this company. I highly recommend them and if you need a large job done they are the ones to go to!

Sunshine Movers moved all my things today to a storage facility they recommended. I couldn't be more pleased with their responsiveness and professionalism. The guys who came to my house were hard workers, efficient, and nice people! They finished in less time than I thought it would take, all with a smile. I will use them again when it's time to move my things. Great people, great experience!
