Company information

Suddath operates from their Houston facility on Papalote Street, bringing over 100 years of moving expertise to Texas families and businesses since 1919 when they started in Jacksonville, Florida. The company has grown into a nationwide leader with more than 40 years of experience serving the Houston area, including neighborhoods like West University, Houston Heights, Montrose, Memorial, River Oaks, and Bellaire. Their Houston teams handle local moves, long-distance relocations, international shipping, commercial transfers, and employee relocations as an agent of Atlas Van Lines. What makes Suddath different from other Houston moving companies is their dedicated single-point-of-contact approach, where each customer gets a personal move counselor who guides them through the entire process from quote to delivery. They complete around 80,000 residential moves annually and offer award-winning technology for faster estimates, comprehensive insurance options, and specialized services like white glove moves for high-net-worth clients. The company's century-plus experience, extensive network, and commitment to transparency in pricing and processes sets them apart in Houston's competitive moving market.
