We load the truck, drive it to your new home, unload it and place each piece in the room you choose.

How Local Move Pricing Works

These are the things that move your estimate up or down: how much furniture is going, stairs or elevators at either end, the distance between the two homes, and any add-ons like packing or haul-away.

How to Get Ready for Move Day
What to pack and label
If you're packing yourself, box everything that isn't furniture and write the room it goes to on each box. Tape the boxes shut and stack them in one spot so loading goes faster.
Clear out first
Old furniture or junk you aren't taking? Get it out before move day so you're not paying to move it. Our haul-away is a paid service, separate from a donation pickup.
What to set aside
Keep valuables, important papers, medications and keys with you. Put them in your car, away from the boxes.
Parking, gate codes and elevators
Save a spot near the door for the truck, and give us any gate codes ahead of time. Moving in or out of a condo? See condo and apartment moves for the building details.
Moving a parent or downsizing
If you're moving a parent or downsizing, take it slower. See our senior and retirement moves.
Local Moving vs. Loading-Only Help
A local move means our truck and our crew, door to door. If you've already got a rental truck or container, book labor-only loading and unloading, and we'll do the heavy lifting while you handle the driving. Need just one piece brought from a store or a seller? See furniture delivery.
Why Hire a Local-Only Mover
We work only in Southwest Florida, so all our time goes into the moves here at home. Marshall Rapp has owned and run the company since 2017 with a small team, and he has 15+ years of moving experience. Want to check up on any Florida mover?
