Moving to a new home or office in Brevard County? Whether you’re relocating within Melbourne, heading out of Palm Bay, or setting up shop in Titusville, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is: How much is this move going to cost me?
The short answer? It depends.
The long answer? Let’s break it down.
1. Distance of the Move
Are you moving across town or across the state? Local moves (typically under 50 miles) are usually priced hourly, while long-distance moves factor in mileage, fuel, and sometimes even overnight accommodation for the moving crew.
In Brevard County, moving from Cocoa Beach to West Melbourne isn’t the same as heading from Viera to Jacksonville. Distance matters.
2. Size of the Home or Office (continued)
The more rooms, the more stuff. The more stuff, the more time—and labor—it takes.
- Studio or 1-bedroom: Less furniture = lower cost
- 3–4 bedrooms or larger: Expect a longer load time, possibly more movers, and maybe even a second truck
The square footage and how densely packed your home is can make a big difference. A minimalist with a 3-bedroom home may pay less than a collector in a 2-bedroom condo.
3. Access Issues and Home Layout
A ground-floor apartment with easy parking? That’s the dream. But what if:
- You’re on the third floor with no elevator?
- The truck can’t park near the building?
- There’s a long driveway, narrow staircase, or tight hallway turns?
These obstacles slow down the job and often increase labor costs. Our Miracle Movers crew is always up for the challenge—but tighter access = more time.
4. Packing Services and Supplies
Do you need full-service packing, or are you boxing things yourself?
- DIY Packing: Cheaper, but you’ll need your own supplies (and stamina).
- Professional Packing: Faster and safer—especially for fragile or high-value items—but adds to your overall cost.
- Packing Materials: Boxes, tape, shrink wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialty crates all add up if provided by the mover.
Miracle Movers offers custom packing solutions based on your budget and needs.
5. Timing of Your Move
Believe it or not, when you move can impact how much you pay.
- Peak season: Summer months, weekends, and end-of-month dates are in high demand.
- Off-peak discounts: Moving mid-week or during the off-season (typically October–March) can save you money.
Pro tip: Book early to lock in the best rates—especially in a fast-growing area like Brevard County.
6. Special Items and Add-Ons
Certain items need special handling, which can bump up your price:
- Pianos, safes, antiques, or artwork
- Pool tables or gym equipment
- Disassembly/reassembly of furniture
- Storage needs (temporary or long-term)
Make sure to mention these during your quote to avoid surprise fees on moving day.
7. Insurance and Liability Coverage
Basic coverage is usually included, but if you’re moving valuable items, you might want to upgrade to full value protection. It’s optional but provides peace of mind—and affects the bottom line.
8. Tipping the Crew
While not required, tipping is a common courtesy in the industry and often appreciated for a job well done. Budgeting a little extra for the team goes a long way.
