By integrating family values with professional moving expertise, Quality Moving Services delivers satisfaction, care and reliability on every mile.
Quality Moving Services isn’t just a moving company; it’s a legacy of family, integrity and quality. Founded over a decade ago by Travis Long, the business has grown from a single truck and trailer to a fleet of eleven trailers and eight trucks, all working seven days a week to meet the demands of local and out of state moves.
But beyond business growth, Travis cherishes how running Quality Moving Services allows him to be a devoted family man, making time for his fiancée, Kaleigh Coleman and their five children—Tripp, Kendall, Travis Jr., Theo and Trenton. This balance, he says, is at the heart of what makes his life fulfilling.
“Being able to see my kids grow up, to show up at their games and be a part of their lives… that’s priceless,” says Travis.
Family values are woven into the very fabric of Quality Moving Services. Travis credits much of his work ethic and business practices to his father, who owns a custom woodworking business and instilled in him the importance of treating customers with respect and honesty.
“My dad taught me to always keep my word, treat each customer like it’s your only customer that day, and, if something goes wrong, to make it right,” Travis recalls. Following this example, Quality Moving Services doesn’t accept payment until a job is done and the customer is fully satisfied—a policy that sets them apart in the industry.
As a full-service moving company, Quality Moving Services covers everything from estate sales, decorating and planning and organizing to packing, loading, unloading and even furniture assembly. They pride themselves on offering an extra level of care, particularly for out-of-state moves, which they perform across all lower 48 states. With custom-built trailers designed to protect delicate items and markless rubber tires on their dollies to safeguard clients’ floors, Travis has spared no detail in ensuring that each move is smooth, safe and stress-free.
“We’re carrying an entire lifetime’s worth of furniture and possessions every time we load up that trailer,” Travis says. “It’s just little things a lot of other companies don’t think about that really sets us apart from any other moving company. We try to help in any way possible. Even on the financial side.
Another of the standout aspects of Quality Moving Services is the personalized attention Travis provides through free in-home estimates. Unlike many companies that opt for virtual assessments, Travis believes in face-to-face interaction.
“I want clients to know I’m genuinely invested in their move, that it’s not just a business transaction,” he explains. “Being there in person lets them see my commitment to getting it right.” This dedication to customer satisfaction has led to an impressive 85% of their business coming from word-of-mouth referrals.
In addition to his dedication to clients, Travis finds joy in being a community-oriented family man. His commitment to Quality Moving Services allows him the flexibility to be involved in his children’s lives, from watching his boys play baseball to cheering on his stepdaughter Kendall at her volleyball games. This family support network is robust, extending to his brother, Turner “Junior” Long, who helps manage their Ocala office.
“It’s amazing to have family working alongside you. We share the same goals and values, and that makes all the difference,” says Travis.
This connection to his community and his family is something Travis hopes to pass down to his children, just as his father did for him. Travis envisions his kids one day taking over the business, carrying forward the legacy of hard work, quality and customer care while never forgetting that family is key.
“I’m not in this to get rich. I’m building something meaningful, something the town will remember,” he says. In a world where quality often takes a backseat to profit, Travis’s outlook feels refreshingly old-fashioned.
Travis’s impact shines through local recognition and the heartfelt feedback he receives from clients. Quality Moving Service is on The Villages preferred moving list and recently, a customer sent a handwritten note expressing gratitude for the smooth, worry-free move his team provided. Gestures like these deeply resonate with Travis and fuel his dedication.
As Travis puts it, “Quality isn’t expensive; it’s priceless.” This guiding principle reminds him daily of the importance of doing right by his customers, his family and his community—so much so, that it’s a core motto of his company.
As Travis reflects on the journey that has brought him this far, he smiles, recalling more of his father’s timeless advice: “Just set the cup down; the water’s not going anywhere.”
Through both the challenges and rewards, he’s learned to embrace a steady pace, finding pride in each satisfied customer and every cherished moment with his family. And beyond delivering smooth and stress-free moves, Travis and Quality Moving Services are deeply committed to making a difference in the community they call home.
Whether it’s supporting local charity events, lending a hand during neighborhood cleanup drives, or sponsoring youth sports teams, Travis believes in the power of giving back.
“We’re not just here to move boxes; we’re here to help build a better community,” he says. This dedication to helping others extends far beyond his business operations, reflecting a core belief in lifting up the people around him.
For Travis, community involvement isn’t just good business—it’s essential to who he is and what his company represents.
“It’s about being a neighbor, not just a service,” he explains. By contributing whenever and wherever they can, Travis and his team have built lasting relationships that go beyond transactions. This commitment to community helps Travis stay rooted in what matters most, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose that’s as valuable as any business achievement.
