Florida move questions
What about hurricane season?
June–November is hurricane season, but the actual peak is August–October. We track storms; if one’s in the cone, we hold trucks and reschedule at no charge.
Do you handle 55+ community paperwork in Florida?
Yes — The Villages, Solivita, Top of the World, Kings Point, Sun City Center — we know the move-in rules and submit paperwork in advance.
What about my furniture in a Northern home staying behind?
If you’re keeping the Northern home as a summer place, we move only what’s coming south. Climate-controlled storage in the North also available.
Can I bring my car too?
Yes — auto transport on the same corridor (open or enclosed). One coordinated booking.
How far in advance should I book?
4–6 weeks is the sweet spot. October–January (snowbird arrival season) books up fastest.
