Operational specifics for Miami
Miami high-rise condos universally require COIs naming the property as additional insured, with limits typically $1M / $2M and sometimes $5M for premium properties (Setai, Continuum, Faena, Estates at Acqualina). We maintain pre-filed COIs with all major South Florida HOAs and operators. Brickell, Aventura, and Sunny Isles loading-dock bookings require 48–72 hours notice and freight elevator reservation. City of Miami parking permits for moving trucks in residential streets are pulled with 2–3 days lead time. We handle all of this — clients don’t need to deal with property management directly.
Weather considerations for Miami moves
Hurricane season (June 1 – November 30) affects scheduling — we monitor NHC advisories and may shift loading dates to avoid named storms. Heat and humidity (May–October) mean climate-sensitive items (electronics, art, vinyl records, musical instruments, leather furniture) need to be loaded last and unloaded first to minimize truck-interior heat exposure. We pre-stage these items separately. Salt-air exposure during loading on barrier islands (Miami Beach, Key Biscayne) is mitigated with weather-resistant wrap.
