I’m Blake Fitzpatrick, founder and CEO of Sunshine Movers. Since opening our doors in 2014, I’ve worked to build a company people can feel comfortable turning to when they need help with a move.

At first, it was just me and one truck. I answered the phone, met people for estimates, and did the moving. Being involved in every part of the job helped me understand how much a customer needs to feel they can count on you.

What stayed with me was the relief people felt when their belongings had arrived safely. Knowing we had made a difficult day easier was something I wanted to keep doing.

I’m grateful for the customers who have welcomed us into their homes and for the team who represents Sunshine Movers every day. Their trust and hard work have helped this company grow, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Recognition through the years

Award-winning work. A grateful heart.

Sunshine Movers has earned local and national recognition for customer service, its workplace, and its contribution to the community. These honors reflect the effort our people put into their work, both on moving day and beyond it.

Why we keep showing up.

Making Moves Against Breast Cancer brings our everyday work and our charitable efforts together. It gives the people who choose us a way to be part of something that reaches beyond their own move.

We are grateful to everyone who has contributed, joined our fundraising efforts, or helped raise awareness. The willingness of local people and businesses to get involved is what makes this work possible.

Cirque de Hope • Sarasota, 2026

The 2026 Cirque de Hope gala in Sarasota brought local supporters together for the American Cancer Society. Blake is especially thankful to the business owners whose support helped make the evening a success. Their generosity is a reminder of how much we can accomplish when people make time for a cause they care about.

FULL-SERVICE MOVING, WITH PERSONAL CARE

A full-service move.
Less on your shoulders.

As a full-service mover, our crew carefully packs, moves, and unpacks your belongings. We take care of the work so you have fewer tasks to manage on moving day.

Unlike most movers, Sunshine Movers offers a placement service. Dishes and glassware can be put away in cupboards, clothes placed in closets and drawers, and other belongings arranged where you want them. We also remove all boxes and packing materials, leaving you with less to do and more time to enjoy your home.

Our White Glove Moving service brings extra care to delicate pieces and the finishing details. Tell us which details matter most to you, and we’ll plan around your priorities.

STRESS FREE SENIOR MOVING

Take your time.
We’ll help you through it.

Leaving a longtime home can bring a lot of feelings and a lot of decisions. Older adults and their families deserve understanding, patience, and someone they feel comfortable asking for help.

Our Stress Free Senior Moving service begins with getting to know what you need. We can help you plan, work through sorting and downsizing decisions, and arrange the practical details without losing sight of how personal this change may be.

Our crew can pack, move, and unpack your belongings with care. Whether you need help with a few things or support throughout the move, we want you and your family to feel there is someone beside you who understands.
