Florida Moving Costs by Home Size (2026)

The 6 Factors That Set Your Price

• Distance and access: stairs, elevators, long carries — each adds time or flat fees ($40-$100 per flight of stairs).
• Season: May through September is peak (school calendars + lease turnovers). Expect 20-30% higher rates than winter.
• Date: the last weekend of any month is the most expensive 72 hours in moving. Mid-month weekdays are cheapest.
• Packing: full professional packing adds $600-$1,200 for a typical home but saves 3-4 days of your labor.
• Specialty items: pianos ($150-$800), safes, pool tables and art crating are quoted separately.
• Storage: if your new home is not ready, storage-in-transit runs $150-$400/month.
