Planning Around Miami High-Rises

Ask for Move-In Rules Early

Many towers set allowed move days and hours, and some charge a move-in fee or deposit.

Book the Service Elevator

Reserve it for the delivery window and confirm the day before the truck arrives.

Send the Insurance Certificate

Most buildings want a certificate of insurance on file. Give us the management contact and we send it ahead of time.

Measure Big Pieces

Check sofa and bed sizes against the elevator and door dimensions before you pack them.

Hurricane Season and PCS Moves

The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, per NOAA. A storm in the forecast can delay a Miami closing or a delivery. If you are moving in late summer or fall, keep a few flexible days on the Florida end, and treat storage in Lorton as a fallback if the delivery date has to shift.

DC-area service members heading south often report to U.S. Southern Command headquarters in Doral or to Homestead Air Reserve Base. Our military movers pick up across DC and Northern Virginia, including near Fort Belvoir. If you are arranging the move yourself, read our PPM move guide first.

Jon Van

Fast, adaptive, professional, high value support and execution. Request for quote responded to within 24 hours. I had a unique move requirement and they were able to adapt to the requirement and quickly change their norms and standard pricing which would have otherwise made the request financially infeasible. On the day of, the mover came with multiple tools and equipment to be able to adapt to whatever challenges they were faced with. They operated safely taking into account and clearly communicating needs to maintain safety for occupants, the movers and the property. The move was completed faster than expected. Pricing was clear and up front and payment was easy. Recommend to any and all who may be in need of their services.
