Best 5 Movers in Pompano Beach, FL

How to Choose the Best Local Mover in Pompano Beach

Consider each moving company's cost, licensing, customer reviews, and services before deciding.

Determine Your Budget

A local move costs between $41 and $78 per hour. Based on this, a local two-bedroom move costs $4,246 in total. Your actual cost will depend on your home size, move distance, any additional tasks you need your movers to handle, and the season.

Consider getting quotes from a minimum of three movers in your area to make an informed choice. Written estimates are essential in this process. They should have a comprehensive breakdown of the total cost, covering the hourly rate or flat fee. Keep your mover's estimate handy until the move is completed to ensure fair pricing.

Read Customer Reviews

Customer reviews are indispensable when looking into moving companies. Read customer reviews on websites such as Yelp, Google Reviews, social media, Trustpilot, and the Better Business Bureau to identify moving companies that prioritize positive customer experiences.

Ensure Proper Licensing

Moving companies in Pompano Beach must follow different licensing requirements depending on their service area. If you're only moving within Florida, your moving company must be registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). You can verify the company has an active license using its License Lookup tool.

If you're moving across state lines, the regulations are different. Interstate moving companies must be licensed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and must carry active United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and Motor Carrier (MC) numbers. You can use these numbers to look up the company’s registration status and complaint history on the FMCSA’s mover registration search tool.

Services

Assess whether the mover provides the specific services you need during the quote process. Take inventory of your home before getting quotes and note down any basic or add-on services that might be necessary to ensure accurate pricing. Tell your moving company representative about any specific requirements or unique circumstances to evaluate if the company can provide satisfactory service.

Types of Moving Services

For basic moves, full-service movers often include the following services in the standard price:

• Basic wrapping materials for furniture protection
• Loading and unloading
• Released liability coverage for loss or damage

Tell your moving company about any additional services you require as you go through the quote process. Increased pricing may apply for the following services:

• Crating for art or antiques
• Extra flights of stairs
• Long carries
• Packing
• Piano moving
• Storage
• Unpacking
• Vehicle shipping

Tips To Consider When Moving in Pompano Beach, FL

Consider the following before moving to, from, or within Pompano Beach.

Schedule an Early Move

Pompano Beach traffic during rush hour is notoriously hectic. Navigating gridlock in a moving truck is even more difficult than with a personal-use vehicle. Movers stuck in traffic typically leads to higher costs if they charge by the hour. Arranging your move for the early morning ensures that your movers get there before traffic peaks and head to your new home in the middle of the day when traffic is lighter.

Avoid Busy Season

The busiest time for movers—between May and September—coincides with Pompano Beach's hottest time of year. This can impact your moving process if you begin looking too late and can't find a moving company with availability. Plan ahead and book your preferred moving company at least eight weeks in advance. You should also be prepared for the potential challenges the hot summer weather may pose to your movers during a summer move.

Pack in Advance

We suggest you begin packing around six weeks in advance to prevent rushing to pack when moving day comes. Spending time packing some items each day can make the process less overwhelming. Most moving companies treat same-day packing requests similarly. Movers won't move loose items that haven’t been packed by the time your move is scheduled to begin in many cases.
