Florida-Specific Tips
- → Reserve your building's freight elevator before booking movers — slots fill fast on weekends
- → FL condo HOAs often require a refundable moving deposit ($200–$500) — budget for this
- → Request a specific arrival time window, not just a day — you'll need the elevator reserved for that window

Frequently Asked Questions
Do movers charge more for high-rise apartments?
Yes, often. Movers may charge elevator fees ($75–$150) or long-carry fees if there's significant distance between the elevator and your unit. Some also charge stair fees if the elevator is too small for certain furniture.
Do I need to tip apartment movers?
Yes — same standard applies as residential moves. $20–$50 per mover for a half-day, $50–$100 for a full day. If the crew navigated difficult access (narrow halls, multiple elevator trips, tight corners), tip on the higher end.
How do I move large furniture through a small apartment door?
Professional movers have tools to tilt, disassemble, and hoisting-strap furniture through tight spaces. Items like sofas and mattresses may need to be stood on end. For truly oversized pieces (sectionals, king beds), movers can often disassemble on site. Hoisting through a window is a last resort and costs $200–$500+.
