Let’s face it. Moving is stressful, whether you’re dealing with small moves, downsizing, upgrading, or changing to the apartment across the hall. Many people think relocating a short distance makes it easier than going long distance or cross country, but local moves within 50 miles of your current location still present challenges and the number of back-and-forth trips needed when you try to do it yourself is exhausting!

Top Reasons to Hire Professional Palm Beach Apartment Movers
It might be tempting to handle your relocation yourself, thinking you’ll save money over hiring professionals. But there are many costs associated with relocating, many that you don’t even expect until you’re hit with them, and in the end it can often cost the same or even more than hiring people who know what they’re doing!
Here are the top 3 reasons hiring professional Palm Beach County apartment movers makes more sense than trying to do it all yourself
Reduce Damage
Your well-meaning friends will probably show up and help you cart everything you own out of your apartment and load your rental truck, but will they take the time to wrap everything in protective blankets and shrinkwrap to ensure nothing gets damaged? Will you take the time to protect your doors, counters, floors, staircases, and walls? Don’t forget most landlords charge for damages to the property, so if you accidentally scratch or dent things as you’re carrying your furniture out, you could face costly repair bills.
Professionals take extra precautions to protect the property during the relocation process.
Prevent Injuries
Even if you’re in good physical condition, the process is trying on your body! Many people end up with back injuries or other physical injuries as a result of trying to do it themselves without the proper equipment and manpower.
Professionals handle the heavy lifting for you so you and your friends don’t get injured.
Save Time
One of the best reasons to hire professionals is the amount of experience and expertise they have which contributes to completing the process much faster. The team knows exactly what to do, they arrive at your home with the right equipment, ramps, tools, protective supplies, packing supplies, and trucks to get it all done. Local apartment moves in Palm Beach are completed within a single day, so you can get on with your life!
Don’t forget about the availability of additional services to save you time and eliminate stress, too. Relocation services can include:
- Disassembling furniture to pack in the truck
- Reassembling furniture in your new home
- Unloading all of your boxes into your new home
- Help to rearrange furniture
Apartment communities often have move-in or out rules involving the use of elevators and what days and times you can complete your relocation. In addition to the rules, apartments present unique challenges that add stress on top of the normal feelings of overwhelm that comes from changing your address! The parking lot may not be close to the door. There may be common areas in the building and outside that must be protected during your relocation. Experienced apartment relocation companies know how to navigate and overcome all of these challenges.

How Much Does a Palm Beach County Apartment Move Cost?
Your local Palm Beach moving company estimate depends on several factors related to your apartment relocation, including:
- How many bedrooms you’re relocating (amount of furniture and belongings)
- Access to your current apartment and the new home (is it on the second floor, do we need to hoist things, how far away will we have to park, etc)
- The distance between your current apartment and new home
- How many crew members are required
