The Cost of Moving in South Florida
How Movers Like Us Estimate Your Moving Costs
If you are planning to move anywhere in South Florida, one of the biggest concerns you have is understanding the moving costs you can expect to encounter.
Moving With Sebastian, a trusted name among South Florida movers, strives to provide transparent and accurate estimates for every client. We understand that moving can be stressful, so our goal is to make the process as easy and seamless as possible.
That’s Why Our Slogan is ‘We Make Moving Easy Peasy!’
Moving Costs Shouldn’t Be a Mystery
We start by giving you a clear picture of what to expect when it comes to each of the variables involved in calculating moving costs, how they are calculated and what the totals will be.
As the leading affordable mover in Boca Raton, we are well-versed in handling relocating to Boca Raton, the“City Within a Park”, or from here to anywhere in South Florida.
In this article, we’ll break down how we estimate the cost and the various factors that can influence the final price.
How We Estimate Your Moving Cost
1. Size of the Move
One of the first questions we ask when providing an estimate is about the size of your move. How many bedrooms do you have, and what’s the total square footage of both your current and new location? This information helps us determine the number of movers, trucks, and time required for your move, which directly impacts the overall expenses.
PRO TIP: The more accurate you are about the size of your move, the more precise your estimate will be. Providing details about oversized furniture, fragile items, or specialty items such as pianos or large mirrors can help us plan accordingly. |
2. Distance of the Move
The distance between your current location and your new home is another crucial factor in determining the moving cost. Moves within the same city, like Boca Raton, Delray Beach, or Parkland, are typically priced differently from longer-distance moves across the state of Florida.
We offer competitive rates for both local and long-distance moves also, ensuring you receive fair and transparent pricing when you move to or from South Florida.
3. Stairs, Elevators, and Accessibility
Condos are everywhere in South Florida, which means dealing with stairs, elevators, or long walking distances. These factors can add time to your move if you are relocating into or out of one, affecting the overall price. If elevators are involved, we will need to know if your HOA requires us to reserve elevator times and how far it is from the unit.
Important Note: If you’re moving into a location with an HOA (Homeowner Association), let us know about any rules, such as restricted moving days or time limitations. This ensures that your move is scheduled smoothly without any surprises.
4. Packing Services and Supplies
A significant factor in your moving company cost is whether you’ll be handling the packing yourself or if you’d like us to take care of it. Moving With Sebastian offers professional packing services that save you time and ensure that all your belongings are safely prepared for the move.
If you choose to pack yourself, we require all electronics to be off walls and appliances disconnected before we arrive.
We also take special care with oversized artwork, mirrors, and moving your furniture. By informing us of these items in advance, we can bring the necessary supplies, such as crates or appropriately sized boxes, to protect your valuables. If you’d like us to disassemble and reassemble any furniture or appliances, just let us know, as this service can be included in the overall expense.
5. Deposits and Payment Terms
To secure your moving date, we require a deposit, typically a few hundred dollars, depending on the size of your move. This deposit is applied to the balance, which is due on the day of the move. This practice ensures that your moving day is reserved and that we’re fully prepared to handle your relocation. Moving With Sebastian aims to be an affordable mover with no hidden fees, giving you peace of mind.
PRO TIP – Because we know the roads and most of the communities in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Parkland, and beyond, we can save time and gas costs and because we are more efficient – we can pass the savings long to you. |
We know where we are going and can easily calculate the best routes to save you money. We also know the best times to get in and out of communities from Broken Sound to Century Village.
That’s why we’re the licensed pros when it comes to moves throughout South Florida. We also service the entire state of Florida, ensuring that every move is handled with the utmost professionalism and care.
6. Additional Stops Along the Way
Some clients need to make additional stops, such as dropping items at a family member’s house, a friend’s place, or a storage unit. These extra stops will influence the overall moving cost since they will add time and logistics to the process. We’re happy to accommodate these requests and factor them into your estimate.
7. Items We Cannot Move
Safety is our top priority, and there are certain items we cannot transport, such as:
- Oxygen bottles
- Lighter fluid
- Matches
- Propane cylinders
- Nail polish remover
- Paints and paint thinners
- Gasoline
- Fireworks
- Perishable food
- Pets
