Residential moving questions
Straight answers about how residential moves work with Groovers.
Moves within Florida up to about [X] miles, such as Lakeland to Winter Haven, Plant City, or Bartow. Longer Central Florida moves are quoted case by case.
Most 2-bedroom moves take [X to Y] hours with [2 to 3] movers. Stairs, long walks, and unpacked items add time. Your estimate gives a range for your home.
[Time starts when the crew arrives at your pickup address and ends when the last item is placed.] Your written estimate explains how time is counted and whether any travel charge applies.
Yes. Basic disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables, and similar furniture is included. Complex items like wall units or cribs may take extra time.
Finish packing and seal boxes, empty dresser drawers of anything breakable, defrost the fridge, reserve elevators or parking if your building requires it, and keep valuables and medications with you.
Someone over 18 should be at each address for the walkthrough and to show where things go. You can have a trusted person stand in for you.
[1 to 2 weeks] ahead is usually enough. Month-end dates and weekends fill first. Same-week moves are possible when we have a crew open.
[Cards, cash, Zelle, etc.] Payment is due when the move is complete and you've done the final walkthrough.
Your written estimate shows the expected time range and hourly rate. If the move runs longer, time continues at the same hourly rate [in 15-minute increments]. The crew lead lets you know before the estimate is exceeded, and nothing extra is added without your approval.
