We dispatch from our Miami office and serve Hollywood directly, with crews who know the difference between moving a Steinway through a 33024 carport and navigating a high-rise lobby off Hollywood Boulevard.

Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Hollywood’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company
We’ve been in continuous operation since 2006, and our crews have moved pianos, safes, and antiques through every corner of Hollywood. We’ve learned the hard way so you don’t have to. That means measuring carport clearances before we quote, not after we’re stuck. It means knowing which buildings on North Dixie Highway require certificates of insurance and which don’t. It means showing up in uniform, on our payroll, with the right equipment already on the truck.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving team fields calls from Hollywood residents year-round, but the volume spikes violently twice a year: October through November, when snowbirds flood the A1A corridor condos, and April through May, when they leave. We’ve learned to book freight elevators and temporary loading zones early, because in Hollywood, scheduling is everything.
The price we quote is the price you pay. After a real in-person or video survey, we put a binding number in writing. It does not rise on move day, on the ramp, or at delivery. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee. And for 90 days after delivery, anything we moved or packed that isn’t right is made right with a crew or a check - not a subcontractor, not a claim form that disappears.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Hollywood
Piano Moving
Hollywood’s piano moving challenges are geographic. Inland, in ZIPs 33023 and 33024, postwar CBS homes often have shallow carports with low clearances that surprise out-of-market movers. We moved a 7-foot grand piano out of a 1955 CBS home near Young Circle in Hollywood. The carport clearance was tight, so our techs used a piano board and straps to navigate the narrow path, avoiding the stucco walls. We wrapped the legs in moving blankets to prevent scuffs on the terrazzo floor. Beachside, the challenge flips: getting a 500-pound upright through a 1960s condo lobby with a single slow freight elevator and a two-hour HOA move-in window. We handle both. Typical piano moving in Hollywood runs $200-$900 depending on stairs, distance, and equipment needed.
Antique & Fine Art Moving
Hollywood’s antique market runs through estates in Highland Lakes and collections in beachside condos with ocean views. South Florida’s humidity is not abstract here - it’s a real threat to wood, canvas, and gilded frames. Our crews wrap for condensation and stage at first light during summer months when heat indices exceed 105°F by midday. We use climate-controlled transit for sensitive pieces and never stack artwork against truck walls without full-value protection. Everything we pack is covered under our 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Safe & Gun Safe Moving
Gun safes and document safes in Hollywood homes range from 400-pound residential units in Highland Lakes garages to 1,200-pound vaults bolted to slab floors in 33024 carports. Moving them requires more than muscle. Our crews use appliance dollies, stair-climbing equipment, and custom skids. We assess floor loading, doorway width, and - in older CBS homes - whether the terrazzo can handle the concentrated weight without cracking. We do not guess. We measure first.
Pool Table Moving
Pool tables in Hollywood face the same geographic split. Inland homes in 33023 and 33024 often have carport or patio access that’s straightforward once cleared. Beachside condos near Loggia Beach Park are another story: disassembling a slate bed, moving three pieces of 250-pound slate through a freight elevator, and re-leveling in a unit with ocean-view windows that never quite square the room. Our techs are trained to re-level to tournament spec, not just “close enough.”
Appliance Moving
Hollywood’s appliance moving market is driven by renovation and seasonal turnover. Snowbirds replacing washers before arrival, landlords upgrading units between tenants, homeowners remodeling kitchens in postwar CBS homes with original 24-inch doorways. We move refrigerators, washers, dryers, and commercial kitchen equipment with proper dollies, floor protection, and door-jamb shields. One crew, start to finish.
Hot Tub Moving
Hot tub moves in Hollywood are concentrated in two scenarios: backyard units in Highland Lakes being relocated for pool renovation, and rooftop spas in beachside buildings being removed after structural engineering reports. Both require cranes or specialized tilt equipment, precise weight distribution, and - for rooftop units - freight elevator coordination or crane street permits. We coordinate the logistics, not just the muscle.

Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Underestimating carport clearance in 33024 CBS homes. Postwar carports in Hollywood’s inland neighborhoods often measure less than seven feet to the beam. A piano on a standard dolly needs more. We measure before we quote. Out-of-market movers who don’t know Hollywood’s housing stock learn this lesson expensively.
- Missing HOA move-in windows in beachside condos. Many buildings along A1A and Hollywood Boulevard restrict moves to weekday mornings or single two-hour blocks. Miss your slot and you’re rescheduled - sometimes weeks out during snowbird season. We confirm windows in writing before we book.
- Failing to pre-arrange temporary loading-zone permits on A1A. There is effectively no legal on-street parking for moving trucks on the beachside corridor. Hollywood’s city parking enforcement requires a temporary loading-zone hold, arranged in advance. We handle this permit step. Companies unfamiliar with Hollywood get fined, or towed, or both.
- Ignoring humidity damage risk during summer moves. Hollywood’s coastal humidity and afternoon heat warp wood furniture and create condensation inside electronics. Our crews wrap for climate and stage early. Waiting until 2 p.m. in July is a choice we don’t make.
