These are the questions our Boca Raton office fields most from Palm Beach County households and businesses planning a relocation with Big Boi Movers. Browse our full range of moving services for details on what each job covers. If your question is not here, send it through the free quote form or contact our team — a real person from our roster, not a call center, will answer it. No outside carrier ever touches your job.
What does a local Boca Raton move cost?
Local jobs run on an hourly rate or a flat written price, and we tell you which fits before you commit. A 2-mover crew is $115/hr and a 3-mover crew is $155/hr with a 2-hour minimum, and flat-rate studios run $475-$725, 2BR $950-$1,550, 3BR $1,750-$2,800, and 4BR $3,000-$4,400.
How early should I book a Boca Raton mover?
Two to three weeks out is comfortable for most jobs. Snowbird season from November through April and the FAU turnover weeks in May and August fill up fastest, so send your date through the quote form early and Rachel will hold a crew.
How do you handle hurricane season moves?
From June through November, Rashad watches every storm advisory and reroutes trucks or moves a start time up ahead of a watch. Every crew carries tie-down straps and tarps, and we reschedule free of charge if a warning makes the roads unsafe.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes. Big Boi Movers is a Florida-licensed household-goods carrier with interstate authority on file, carrying $1M in cargo coverage on every job. Ask Rachel and we will show the paperwork before move day.
What is included in the Boca Raton price?
Every local job includes the truck, fuel, furniture pads, dollies, shrink wrap, and basic disassembly and reassembly of beds and standard furniture. There is no travel-time padding or fuel surcharge added at the end, so the flat number we write down is the number you pay at unload.
Do you move FAU students and faculty?
Yes. May and August are our busiest weeks for off-campus apartment turnover near FAU and faculty relocations into Boca West, Wellington, and Palm Beach Gardens. Tell us your lease dates on the quote form and we will build the schedule around them.
Can you get into gated communities like Boca West or Broken Sound?
Yes. Terrell's crews run these gated jobs weekly and handle the security-gate check-in and pool-cage-adjacent load-outs standard on most South Palm Beach two-story homes.
How do you protect furniture on barrier islands like Highland Beach?
Salt air corrodes hardware fast, so every piece gets extra wrap and protection on Highland Beach and other oceanfront jobs. DeShawn's crew also plans around bridge weight limits and HOA move-in windows on the barrier islands.
Do you handle snowbird season moves?
Yes. November through April, Boca fills back up with returning New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania transplants, so we run extra crews and recommend booking three to four weeks ahead during the peak weeks.
Can you handle a long-distance move out of Boca Raton?
Yes. Long-distance relocation runs on a binding written quote tied to your inventory and the two ZIP codes, not a number that creeps up later. Whether you are headed to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville, the same Big Boi crew loads and delivers, and the $1M cargo coverage travels with your shipment.
Do you move pianos and other specialty items?
Yes, pianos have their own line: roughly $250-$450 for an upright and $450-$800 for a baby grand, handled with skid boards, four-way straps, and four sets of hands. Flag any specialty piece on the quote form so the right crew and gear show up.
Are you a moving company?
Yes. Big Boi Movers is a licensed, insured Boca Raton moving company running our own trucks and W-2 crews. We are not a broker, matching service, or lead aggregator, and your job is never handed to an outside carrier.
Do you offer climate-controlled storage?
Yes. Climate-controlled storage runs $145-$370 per month by unit size, keeping wood furniture and electronics from sweating through a South Florida August or corroding in salt air while a closing or lease bridges the gap.
Can you handle oceanfront condo and freight-elevator moves?
Yes. Rachel books the freight-elevator window the moment your closing or lease date drops, and we handle the building's Certificate of Insurance paperwork for Highland Beach and Boca Raton oceanfront towers.
Do you help with senior downsizing moves?
Yes. We run calm, unhurried downsizing for the 55-plus communities across Boca West, Wellington, and Woodfield Country Club, sorting what is coming along and storing, donating, or hauling the rest at one flat rate.
What happens if a tropical storm or hurricane threatens my move date?
We reach out as soon as a watch is issued and work with you to move your date up or push it back. There is no penalty for a weather-driven reschedule.
Do you carry cargo insurance?
Yes. Every Big Boi Movers job carries $1M in cargo coverage, with released-value and full-value-protection options spelled out in your written estimate.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payment terms and accepted methods are set out in your written estimate before move day, with any deposit due as agreed and the balance due for the service performed.
