Hollywood is not a city where you want a mover learning on the job. The split personality of this market - beachside condo towers with freight elevator wars versus inland CBS homes with carport access - means a company that handles both well has already solved problems that break less experienced crews. We’ve been at it since 2006.
Why Hollywood’s Moving Calendar Breaks Most Companies
Hollywood’s enormous snowbird population, concentrated in the aging mid-rise and high-rise condos lining the A1A corridor near Hollywood Beach, creates two violently compressed moving seasons: a fall influx in October and November as Canadians and Northeasterners arrive, and a spring exodus in April and May as they depart. Unlike neighboring Hallandale Beach or Dania Beach, Hollywood’s sheer volume of seasonal condo residents means freight elevator reservations, HOA move-in windows, and parking permits along A1A are fought over simultaneously by dozens of households.
This is where most moving and storage companies fail. They overbook, subcontract to day labor, or simply ghost customers when the schedule collapses. We don’t. Our crews are on our payroll, background-checked, and in uniform. We pre-arrange temporary loading-zone holds with Hollywood’s city parking enforcement - a permit step that inland South Florida cities rarely require and that catches out-of-market moving companies repeatedly. On the beachside corridor, there is effectively no legal on-street parking for moving trucks. Show up without that hold arranged, and you’re looking at fines and tow risk.
Our Moving & Storage operation runs out of fully stocked branded trucks garaged right here in the metro. That matters when a June-through-November hurricane threat forces a last-minute rescheduling, or when afternoon heat indices exceed 105°F and we need to stage your move at first light to protect wood furniture and electronics from warping and condensation damage.
What “Moving and Storage” Actually Means Here
Most people weighing Portable Storage vs Storage Unit in Hollywood, FL need one of three things. We price and staff each differently because they are different jobs.
- Move with gap storage: Your new home isn’t ready, or you’re closing on different dates. We load, store in our warehouse, and deliver when you give the word. One crew, one inventory, one bill.
- Storage during a renovation: You’re staying local in Hollywood, Highland Lakes, or near Woodscape, but the kitchen is torn up for eight weeks. We pack, store, and return everything to the same address.
- Long-distance with storage-in-transit: Relocating out of Florida, but your housing situation is fluid. We hold up to 180 days under the same binding quote, with the 90-Day Done Right Promise still running from final delivery.
Gap storage is the most common call we get from the 33024 and 33180 ZIP codes - families selling a single-family CBS home inland and buying into a beachside condo with a delayed association approval. The reverse happens every spring: snowbirds storing their Florida furniture while they head north, then redelivering in October.

Common Hollywood Scenarios We Handle
The A1A condo shuffle. You’re moving from one beachside building to another, both with 9 a.m.-4 p.m. elevator windows and a $500 deposit if you run over. We send a crew that has done this before, with Milwaukee tools to break down and reassemble furniture in the hallway if the elevator won’t take it. We call the building manager before we knock.
The snowbird handoff. You’re in Quebec, your daughter is flying down to meet the crew at the unit near Mi prima Dania, and everything needs to go to storage until November. We coordinate by phone with her, send her photos of the inventory, and schedule redelivery around your flight back. Live person answers every call, 24/7.
The emergency hurricane pivot. Your closing on Northeast 1st Avenue is delayed because of a storm. Your closing attorney calls Thursday; we hold the truck, shift to Same-Day Moving & Storage in Hollywood, FL, and reschedule delivery. No requoting, no “call the warehouse” runaround. One crew, start to finish.
Dale Whitmore, our owner, put the 90-day delivery guarantee in writing on day one in 2006 and hasn’t changed it since. He grew up hauling furniture up narrow brownstone staircases in Jamaica, Queens, and learned load-planning at Queensborough Community College before founding this company. That background shows up in how our crews wrap a dresser for humidity - packed like it’s ours, protected like it’s yours.
FAQs
Expect $450-$2,500 for a local move with short-term storage gap, plus $90-$400 per month for warehouse storage. The exact figure depends on your home’s size, the storage duration, and whether you need packing. Call (855) 890-3455 for a free in-home or video estimate - estimates are free, and the quote we give you is binding.
One coordinated move with short-term storage is almost always cheaper than two separate moves. You pay for one load, one unload, and one crew’s travel time. Splitting it means paying twice for the hardest parts of the job. We price both ways so you can see the difference.
Yes. We load, warehouse, and redeliver when you’re ready - up to 180 days under the same binding quote. Your items are inventoried, photographed, and stored in our facility, not a third-party warehouse. The 90-Day Done Right Promise runs from final delivery, not from the first load.
Everything we pack is covered by full-value protection. Everything we store is wrapped in Uline blankets, shrink-wrapped where appropriate, and kept in a climate-monitored warehouse. Wood furniture and electronics are especially vulnerable to Hollywood’s coastal humidity, so we stage and wrap accordingly. If anything isn’t right within 90 days of delivery, one call brings a crew or a check.

What Our Customers Say
"Upright piano on the second floor and a staircase that turns twice on the way down. Four of them came with a piano board and straps, pulled the railing off first, and had it on the truck without a mark on the wall. Two other companies had told me they would not attempt it."
- Kristen Walsh"The move itself was quick and nothing was broken. They did arrive right at the back end of the arrival window, which pushed the unload into the evening and cost me the freight elevator slot at the other building. Dispatch called ahead to warn me, so at least I was not sitting there guessing."
- Rami Mansour"Careful crew and a fair price for a long day. One box got labeled for the wrong room and I spent an evening hunting for the kitchen things, which had gone into a bedroom closet. Small thing across a hundred boxes, and worth knowing they label as they load."
