“I have moved four times in the past eight years and this was the first crew that showed up when they said they would, packed everything correctly, and didn't try to charge me extra for the stairs. The price I was quoted was the price I paid.”
Rachel T.
Gulf Gate Estates, Sarasota“We relocated our dental office on a Saturday so we could open Monday morning without missing a day. The 5 Star crew finished three hours ahead of estimate. Everything was labeled, nothing was damaged.”
Marcus D.
Downtown Sarasota“Had a baby grand piano that three other companies refused to quote. 5 Star gave me a firm price, showed up with the right equipment, and moved it without a single issue. The piano tuner I called afterward said it arrived in perfect condition.”

Local Movers — Common Questions
The average cost of a local move in Sarasota typically ranges from $350 to $1,200 depending on the size of your home, the number of movers needed, and the hours worked. A one-bedroom apartment move generally runs $350–$550 with two movers, while a three-bedroom home with three movers can cost $800–$1,400 or more.
Most Sarasota moving companies, including 5 Star Movers, charge hourly rates that include the truck. You can reduce your total cost by being packed and ready before the crew arrives, having furniture pre-labeled, and avoiding peak times like the first and last days of the month.
