Local Moving Costs in South Florida
Local moving costs in South Florida are charged by the hour based on crew size. The rate clock starts when movers arrive at your home and stops when the final item is placed at your destination. Below are our published 2026 summer seasonal rates for moves within the Tri-County area (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach).
We understand what makes moving in South Florida unique. We know the HOA rules in Pembroke Pines, the narrow stairwells in Art Deco buildings along Collins Avenue, the strict elevator reservation windows at Brickell City Centre towers, and the seasonal traffic chaos on I-95 and the Turnpike. Our crews are not just movers — they're local professionals who live here, drive these roads, and know how to get your move done on time and without damage.
From studio apartments in Doral to sprawling estates in Weston, from corporate office relocations in Downtown Fort Lauderdale to retirement moves to Naples or the Carolinas — Solomon & Sons does it all.
