5-Star Reviews From Real Customers
Every review we’ve received on Google has been 5 stars. Here’s what our neighbors are saying.
Thank you, Old Florida Moving LLC, for the outstanding service! The movers were professional, efficient, and took great care with everything. Alex, the owner, personally showed up and managed the entire moving process, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. It felt great supporting a family-owned company instead of a large corporate operation. The best part is that Alex is an actual mover who works alongside his team, not just someone behind a desk. I highly recommend Old Florida Moving LLC to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and personalized moving service.
We hired Alex and his crew at Old Florida Moving to move my grandmother from Gainesville to Crystal River, and they did an amazing job. My grandmother was especially worried about her antique vanity that means so much to her, but they handled it with incredible care and professionalism. Alex personally came out to the job with his crew, and you could tell they truly cared. Everything arrived safely, and the whole move was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Old Florida Moving!
Highly recommend. Alexandr was friendly, attentive and on time. He handled our furniture with care. Will definitely use him again!
