Hear from Our Customers
You’re unpacked and settled in your new home while your friends are still dealing with damaged furniture and surprise charges from their movers. Your belongings arrived exactly when promised, in the same condition they left.
No frantic calls to customer service that never picks up. No wondering where your grandmother’s china ended up. No discovering your final bill is thousands more than quoted.
Just the relief of a move that went exactly as planned, handled by people who actually showed up when they said they would and treated your stuff like their own.
Safe Hands Relocation earned the title of Best Movers of Central Florida 2024 because we do what most moving companies won’t: we tell you exactly what your move will cost upfront and stick to it. Founded by veterans in January 2024, we built this company on the principles that got us through military service—integrity, discipline, and taking care of people.
We’re not brokers who sell your job to the lowest bidder. We’re the actual movers who show up at your door with our own trucks and our own trained crew. That’s why we can promise what others can’t: your price won’t change, your stuff won’t get lost in a middleman shuffle, and someone will always answer when you call.
Barberville families choose us because we understand Florida’s unique challenges—from sudden thunderstorms to navigating tight neighborhood streets—and we plan for them.
First, we send someone to your home for a free, no-obligation estimate. Not a phone guess or online calculator—an actual person who sees what you’re moving and gives you a real price. This price includes everything: labor, materials, transportation, even the gas. No fine print, no surprises later.
On moving day, our crew arrives on time with all the equipment needed. We wrap your furniture, pack what you need packed, and load everything systematically so it travels safely. Every item gets logged and tracked through our system so you know exactly where your belongings are.
During transport, we keep you updated on timing and location. When we arrive at your new home, we unload carefully, reassemble what we took apart, and place everything where you want it. Then we walk through together to make sure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job done.

Your move includes professional packing materials, furniture wrapping, disassembly and reassembly, loading, transportation, and unloading. We handle specialty items like pianos, artwork, and antiques with extra care and proper equipment. Storage is available if you need it, and we offer both short-term and long-term options in climate-controlled facilities.
For Barberville residents, we understand the specific challenges of moving from rural areas to urban centers or vice versa. Many of our clients are relocating from Barberville’s quiet, wooded neighborhoods to bustling cities, or moving here for the peaceful, small-town atmosphere. We’ve navigated the narrow roads around Blue Spring State Park and know how to handle moves near the St. Johns River area.
Military families receive a 15% discount, seniors get 15% off, and new customers save 10%. These aren’t promotional tricks—they’re our way of saying thank you to the people who served and the community that supports us.
Long distance moving costs depend on the distance, weight of your belongings, and services you need. From Barberville, a typical 2-bedroom home moving 500 miles runs between $2,800-$4,200, while a 4-bedroom home moving 1,000 miles ranges from $4,500-$7,200. These prices include packing materials, labor, transportation, and standard insurance.
The key difference with Safe Hands Relocation is that your quote is your final price. We don’t hit you with fuel surcharges, stairs fees, or “cubic feet exceeded” charges on moving day. When we give you a number, that’s what you pay. We’ve seen too many families get burned by companies that lowball the estimate then triple the price when the truck is loaded.
We provide written estimates with every cost broken down clearly. Military families get 15% off these prices, seniors save 15%, and new customers receive 10% off their first move.
A moving broker takes your deposit then sells your move to whatever company bids lowest—often companies you’ve never heard of, with trucks that may not show up. The broker disappears once they’ve collected their fee, leaving you dealing with strangers who have no incentive to treat you well since they never spoke to you directly.
Safe Hands Relocation is a direct moving carrier. We own our trucks, employ our own crews, and handle your move from start to finish. When you call us, you talk to us. When our truck shows up, it’s our truck with our people. If something goes wrong, you call us directly—not some broker who’s already moved on to the next sale.
This matters more than most people realize. Brokers often quote impossibly low prices because they’re not the ones doing the work. The actual movers show up and demand more money, holding your belongings hostage until you pay. As a direct carrier, we quote realistic prices because we’re the ones who have to honor them.
Book your long distance move 4-6 weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving during peak season (May through September) or around holidays. This gives us time to coordinate logistics, secure the right equipment, and ensure your preferred dates are available. For moves over 1,000 miles, booking 6-8 weeks ahead is even better.
However, we understand that life doesn’t always cooperate with perfect planning. We’ve handled successful moves with just 48 hours notice, though your options for specific dates become more limited. The key is calling as soon as you know you’re moving, even if your exact dates aren’t set yet.
From Barberville, we frequently coordinate moves to major cities like Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, and Atlanta. These routes allow us more flexibility because we service them regularly. If you’re moving somewhere less common, earlier booking becomes more critical for scheduling and cost efficiency.
We provide complete packing services, from full-home packing to partial packing for just your fragile items. Our crew uses professional-grade materials: heavy-duty boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and furniture blankets. We also handle specialty packing for artwork, mirrors, electronics, and antiques that require extra protection.
Many Barberville clients choose our partial packing service—they pack their clothes and books themselves, and we handle the kitchen, artwork, and fragile items. This saves money while ensuring your most vulnerable belongings get professional attention. We also offer unpacking services at your destination, so you can focus on getting settled instead of digging through boxes.
All packing materials are included in your quote, so you don’t need to buy boxes or wonder if you have enough bubble wrap. We bring everything needed and clean up all the packing debris when we’re done. If you’re doing some packing yourself, we’ll provide free boxes and materials when you book your move.
Every move includes basic liability coverage at no extra cost, which covers $0.60 per pound for damaged items. For example, if your 50-pound television is damaged, you’d receive $30 under basic coverage. We also offer full-value protection, which covers replacement cost or repair of damaged items, though this does add to your moving cost.
The best protection is prevention, which is why we use professional packing materials, proper loading techniques, and secure our trucks properly. Our crew is trained specifically in handling household goods, and we’ve moved everything from antique pianos to modern art collections without incident.
If damage does occur, you report it immediately upon delivery, and we begin the claims process right away. Unlike brokers who disappear after the move, we handle our own claims directly. You’re dealing with the same company that moved you, not some third-party insurance adjuster who’s trying to minimize payouts. Most claims are resolved within 30 days.
Yes, we move year-round, including hurricane season, but we monitor weather closely and adjust schedules when necessary for safety. If a hurricane threatens your moving dates, we’ll work with you to reschedule at no additional cost. Safety of your belongings and our crew always comes first.
Our experience with Florida weather is one advantage of choosing a local company. We know how quickly afternoon thunderstorms can roll in, and we plan accordingly. Our trucks are equipped with waterproof tarps, and we never load or unload in dangerous weather conditions.
For Barberville residents, we’re familiar with how weather patterns affect the area differently than coastal regions. Your move might proceed normally while coastal areas are under evacuation orders, or vice versa. We stay in constant communication during weather events and provide real-time updates on any schedule changes. Unlike national companies that might not understand Florida’s unique weather challenges, we’ve been handling moves through hurricane seasons since we started.
