We Know Bal Harbour
Bal Harbour runs on presentation. The towers along Collins have service entrances that residents never see, and management expects a moving crew to use them without being asked twice: shoe covers, floor protection, no cardboard in the lobby, no raised voices at the valet stand. Surfside sits a few blocks south with lower buildings and a mix of oceanfront condos and single-family homes. Bay Harbor Islands is different again - two small islands connected by the Broad Causeway, streets barely wide enough for a full-size truck, and low-rise buildings where the parking is under the structure. One quote covers all three, but the plan behind it is not the same. We survey the property, confirm what your association requires in writing, and give you a written number before your date. Our crew works in English and Russian. Reach Evgenii Romanov at 786-305-1844.
Every move is assigned a dedicated coordinator. The crew arrives briefed on your building, your timeline, and everything that needs protecting — before a single box is loaded.
Service entrances, not the front door
We serve the oceanfront towers along Collins near the Shops - addresses such as St. Regis Bal Harbour and the Ritz-Carlton Residences - and buildings of that type route moves through a service corridor with rules of their own. Crews arrive in uniform, lay floor runners, use pads on the lift walls and keep packing waste out of resident areas. We treat that as the baseline, not an upgrade you pay extra for.
Bay Harbor Islands street width
The residential blocks on East Island were laid out long before 26-foot trucks, and with cars parked on both sides there is often no way to get one to the door without blocking the street. We check your block by map and by video walkthrough before scheduling. Where the access is genuinely tight we bring a 16-footer instead, or park legally nearby and shuttle. Either way you know the plan before move day, not on it.
Building approval takes longer than you think
In this part of Miami-Dade, associations typically want the move registered in advance: an approved vendor form, a certificate of insurance in their exact format, an elevator reservation and sometimes a refundable deposit held by management. As a rule they will not release the elevator until all of it is on file. We start that paperwork the day you book and follow it up ourselves, so your approval is not sitting in someone inbox the night before.
Certificates of insurance for Surfside associations
Surfside buildings ask for the same documentation as their Bal Harbour neighbours, and the format is rarely identical between two associations on the same street. Yours is issued free, naming the building as additional insured, and sent to management within 24 hours of booking. Many buildings here ask for limits in the $1M-$2M range - we confirm your building requirements before move day rather than assuming last month wording still applies.
Art, mirrors and high-value pieces
Homes here often contain framed art, large mirrors, glass tables and pieces that cost more than the move. We crate and blanket-wrap those rather than trusting a pad and hope. Packing runs $79 per hour for two packers and we usually recommend it for exactly these items even when clients pack the rest themselves. Tell us what needs special handling when you call and we will price the time for it up front instead of discovering it in your living room.
A transparent invoice, no surcharges
Three movers with a truck are $179 per hour each, four movers $219, with a three-hour minimum and 15-minute billing after that. The truck appears as its own line at the same daily figure as the crew rate. Nothing is added for weekends, high season, fuel, elevators or long carries from a service entrance to a unit at the far end of a corridor. No deposit is taken, and cancelling more than 48 hours out costs nothing.

Common Questions
Bal Harbour Moving FAQs
Can a full-size truck reach my house on Bay Harbor Islands?
Sometimes, and we check rather than guess. The interior streets on both islands are narrow, cars park on both kerbs, and the Broad Causeway is the only approach. We review your block by satellite and ask for a short video of your driveway before scheduling. Where a 26-footer would block traffic or cannot turn, we send a 16-foot truck or plan a short shuttle from a legal parking position. The rate does not change either way.
What does my Bal Harbour building typically require before a move?
As a rule: an approved moving vendor registered with management, a certificate of insurance naming the association as additional insured, a reserved freight elevator slot and a move confirmed for a permitted day and time. Some associations also hold a refundable damage deposit. We contact your management office once you book, get the exact list in writing and complete it. What we never do is claim to know a specific building rules before we have confirmed them.
How do your crews behave in a luxury building?
Uniformed, quiet, floor runners down before the first box, elevator pads confirmed with the front desk, and all packing waste removed rather than left in a service corridor. We use the service entrance and loading area management designates, not the residential lobby. Buildings at this level tend to remember which movers respect that, and it is the reason we get invited back into the same towers.
What will a two-bedroom in Surfside cost?
Two-bedroom moves generally land between $645 and $1,253 all in, depending on volume, packing and how far the carry runs from the service entrance. Three movers at $179 an hour is the usual crew for a two-bedroom condo here, plus the truck at the same daily figure, with a three-hour minimum. You get a written estimate before booking, and after the minimum we bill in quarter hours rather than rounding up to the next full hour.
Do you charge more for a Saturday or for high season?
No. The hourly rate is locked - $129 for two movers, $179 for three, $219 for four - and it is the same in January as in August, the same on Saturday as on Wednesday. There is no fuel surcharge and no seasonal adjustment. The only thing that changes your total is how long the job takes and whether you add packing or storage. That is why we spend time on the survey rather than on the fine print.
Can you store our things between closings?
Yes. Storage starts at $200 per month. Closing dates in this market slip often enough that we plan for it - furniture is inventoried, wrapped and held, then delivered when your new place is ready. You are quoted the outbound move, the storage period and the delivery separately so you can see what each stage costs. No deposit is required to reserve the space.
Do you move to Bal Harbour from out of state?
No — we are a local mover and work inside Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Moving household goods across a state line requires federal operating authority that we do not hold, so we neither quote nor take those jobs. Call 786-305-1844 anyway and we will point you toward a licensed carrier; we can also still pack your home, or handle a local move into storage on the Florida side.
Is anyone on the crew Russian-speaking?
Yes. We work in English and Russian, and Evgenii Romanov, the owner, takes quote calls in both. In Bal Harbour, Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands that comes up constantly, and it makes the practical conversations easier - which pieces are valuable, what gets crated, what goes to storage. There is a Russian version of this page, and WhatsApp on 786-305-1844 is often the quickest way to reach us.
