We Know Miami Beach
Miami Beach is two moving jobs in one city. On the ocean side you have towers along Collins Avenue with freight elevators, loading docks and a building office that wants a certificate of insurance before anyone touches a hand truck. A few blocks west you have Art Deco walk-ups on Jefferson, Meridian and Euclid with no elevator at all, a narrow stair and a street where a 26-foot truck cannot legally sit without a permit from the City of Miami Beach. We plan for both. Before your date we look at your street, your building rules and your elevator situation, then we quote hours that reflect what the job actually takes. Two movers and a truck are $129 per hour each, with a three-hour minimum, and there is no weekend or seasonal surcharge on that rate. Our crew works in English and Russian. Owner Evgenii Romanov answers the phone 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.
Loading zones and city permits
Most of South Beach has metered parking right up to the building line, and a 26-foot truck parked at a meter is a ticket waiting to happen. The City of Miami Beach issues temporary loading-zone permits for exactly this, and they take lead time. When we survey your address we tell you whether your street needs one, and we handle the application rather than leaving it to you to discover on move morning.
Causeway timing decides your start time
Everything on the beach arrives over a bridge. The MacArthur, Julia Tuttle and Venetian causeways all back up at predictable hours, and the Venetian has a toll and a drawbridge on top of that. We stage crews out of Hollywood and start early enough that the truck is at your door before the queue builds. If your building only releases the freight elevator mid-morning, we plan the drive around that window instead of the other way round.
Art Deco walk-ups have no elevator
The 1930s and 1940s buildings west of Washington Avenue are beautiful and completely stair-dependent. Landings are tight, stairwells turn hard, and a queen box spring often will not make the corner. We measure before we quote, bring wardrobe boxes and disassembly tools, and add crew rather than hours where a third mover makes the carry faster. There is no stairs fee on our estimate. Stairs cost time, and time is already in the number you were quoted.
Certificates of insurance, issued free
Nearly every doorman building on the beach asks for a COI naming the association and the management company as additional insured, in their own format, before they will book the elevator. We issue yours at no charge and send it 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, so nobody is arguing with a front desk at eight in the morning.
What a Miami Beach move actually costs
Two movers with a truck are $129 per hour, three movers $179, four movers $219, with a three-hour minimum. The truck is a separate line at the same daily figure as your crew rate. A studio on the beach usually lands between $516 and $645 all in; a one-bedroom $516 to $774; a two-bedroom $645 to $1,253. After the minimum we bill in 15-minute increments. No deposit, and free cancellation more than 48 hours out.
Hurricane season and the summer calendar
June through November changes how we schedule. Buildings restrict elevator use when a storm watch is posted, and a truck on a barrier island during an evacuation order is not a plan. If your date falls in that window we build in a backup day at no cost and move earlier in the morning when we can. Rescheduling for weather is free, the same as any cancellation made more than 48 hours ahead.

Common Questions
Miami Beach Moving FAQs
Do you handle the loading-zone permit for South Beach streets?
Yes. Where your address has no dock and no legal space for a truck, the City of Miami Beach can authorise a temporary loading zone, and we apply for it as part of preparing your move. We tell you at quote stage whether your street needs one so it is not a surprise. Applications take lead time, which is the main reason we ask for your exact address early rather than just the neighbourhood.
Can you work with the freight elevator hours in my building?
Yes, and we plan the whole day around them. Most Collins Avenue and West Avenue towers release the freight elevator in a reserved block, and typically a padded elevator has to be booked with management days in advance. Tell us your building and we will call the office, confirm the window and the dock rules, and set your crew arrival so the truck is loaded and waiting when the elevator opens rather than idling on the clock.
My building is a 1940s walk-up with three flights. Is there a stairs charge?
No. We do not charge for stairs, elevators, long carries or heavy items. Those things cost time, and the time is already built into the hours we estimate for you. What we do instead is look at your stairwell before quoting - a turn that a sofa cannot make changes the plan, not the rate. Sometimes the cheaper answer is three movers at $179 an hour rather than two at $129 taking twice as long.
How much does it cost to move within Miami Beach?
The smallest possible invoice is $516 - two movers, a truck, three hours. Studios generally finish between $516 and $645, one-bedrooms between $516 and $774, two-bedrooms between $645 and $1,253, three-bedrooms between $1,253 and $1,611. Larger homes run $1,611 to $2,327. Those are all-in figures including the truck line. There is no weekend rate, no seasonal rate and no fuel surcharge, so a Saturday in March costs the same per hour as a Tuesday in September.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance for the building?
Yes, free of charge, issued in the format your management company requires and naming the building as additional insured. We send it directly to the building office within 24 hours of you booking, and we follow up to confirm they have accepted it. If your association returns it asking for different wording, we reissue it. You should never have to act as the messenger between your movers and your front desk.
Do you move between Miami Beach and other states?
Yes. You get a written estimate within 24 hours of the survey and there is no deposit. Miami Beach to New York, Chicago, Texas and the Carolinas are routes we run regularly. The written figure is the figure - we do not reweigh at the far end and hand you a different number.
Do you speak Russian?
Yes. Our crew works in English and Russian, and the owner, Evgenii Romanov, handles quotes personally in both. That matters on the beach more than people expect - a lot of our clients here are more comfortable discussing what is fragile, what is valuable and what needs crating in Russian. There is a Russian version of this page if you would rather read it that way, and WhatsApp at 786-305-1844 works in either language.
Can you pack for me as well?
Yes. Packing is $79 per hour for two packers, and a studio packing package starts at $237. On the beach we most often pack kitchens, artwork and closets while the client handles the rest, which keeps the bill down. We bring materials with us. If your building has a tight elevator window, packing the day before is usually the difference between a comfortable move and a rushed one.
