  • What does your hourly rate include, and do you have a minimum?

    When you hire our local movers in Seminole, FL, our hourly rate includes:


    • Basic disassembly and reassembly of larger, common furniture items excluding cribs or any other child safety-related items, electronics, or hanging items on walls
    • Protective moving materials (blankets, dollies, shrink wrap, etc.)
    • Wardrobe boxes upon request (18” linear clothier per box, i.e., a 3’ closet would receive two boxes)

    There is a minimum of one hour for every move. Labor time starts when our movers arrive at your starting location and stops when they are finished unloading (or reassembling) at your destination. For example, loading beginning at 9:00 AM with unloading finishing at 5:00 PM equals a total labor time of eight hours. Driving time between pick-up and delivery locations on local moves is included in labor time. There is an additional charge for specialty items (items requiring specific tools or manpower i.e. pianos or larger safes).
