Orlando Moving FAQs
We know every move comes with questions. Here, we have the answers to the most common questions about booking and moving with Making A Move.
-
Making A Move originally started in Philly and eventually made its way to Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida, bringing with it a simple idea: build a moving company around the parts of moving that customers typically find the most stressful. From wondering what the final bill will be to watching the clock, navigating apartment requirements, or simply not knowing what to expect next, our goal is to make moving feel more straightforward from the very beginning.
That starts with clear, flat-rate pricing whenever possible. We gather the details of your move upfront so we can provide a price based on the actual scope of the job—not leave you watching the clock on move day wondering how much every additional hour will cost.
We also believe the things needed to properly protect and move your belongings shouldn’t feel like a list of upgrades. Furniture protection, reusable mattress protection bags, and standard disassembly and reassembly are included in our moves rather than treated as opportunities to add unnecessary fees.
As an Orlando-based moving company with a focus on apartment and residential moves, we’re familiar with the details that can make these moves more complicated—from elevators and loading areas to long hallways, parking restrictions, and property requirements. We plan for those details ahead of time so move day can run as smoothly as possible.
And we wanted to help beyond just getting your belongings from one address to another. We’ve brought moving, delivery, home staging support, and organization services together under one company so our customers can have help through more of the process of getting settled. Whether you’re relocating, furnishing a new space, preparing a home for sale, or organizing after a move, you can turn to the same team to help get it done.
Most importantly, communication is at the center of how we operate. From the time you request your quote until the last item is unloaded, you’ll know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to reach us when you need us.
Moving will always be a big day. We just don’t believe it needs to feel like a stressful one.

We offer clear, flat-rate pricing based on the details of your move, not hourly guesswork.
Once you submit your information, we’ll send you a finalized quote. No hidden fees, no surprises.Moving is stressful enough without watching the clock. Our flat-rate pricing is designed to give you peace of mind by providing a clear price for your move upfront. Instead of worrying about how long the elevator is taking, whether traffic will add to your bill, or feeling pressured to rush the process, you can focus on your move while we focus on getting it done safely and efficiently.
Your rate is based on the details of your move provided at the time of booking, so as long as the scope of the move remains the same, your price does too. No wondering what the final bill will be and no unnecessary pressure on move day.

Start by completing our quote form with the details of your move. We know it asks for a little more information than your name, phone number, and moving date— but there’s a reason for that. These are the same details a moving company would typically need to gather over the phone or through a series of multiple follow-ups. We collect everything in one place from the start, saving you from answering the same questions over and over again.
Once we receive your form, our team personally reviews the details of your move. If we need additional information or photos to provide an accurate flat-rate quote, we’ll reach out. Otherwise, we’ll prepare your quote— typically within an hour during business hours— and send it directly to your email for review.
Once you accept your quote, we’ll reserve your moving date and send over your moving agreement and everything you need to know before move day. As your move approaches, we’ll also provide helpful preparation tips so you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare.
Communication is a big part of how we do things. From the day you request your quote through the moment the last item is unloaded, our team stays in touch to make sure you feel informed, prepared, and confident about your move.

A little preparation goes a long way toward making move day as smooth and efficient as possible. Before our crew arrives, we recommend:
Pack all loose items into boxes or totes and securely close them before move day.
Label boxes by room so our crew knows exactly where they belong at your new home.
Set aside personal, high-value, or immediately needed items—such as medications, important documents, jewelry, keys, and chargers — that you prefer to keep with you.
Clear walkways, hallways, and entryways so our crew can safely and efficiently move throughout your home.
Confirm parking, elevator, or loading-area arrangements with your property ahead of time, when applicable.
Keep anything that will not be moving clearly separated from the items our crew will be transporting.
Don’t worry— we won’t leave you guessing. After booking, our team will send helpful preparation tips ahead of your move and stay in communication with you leading up to and throughout move day.
