Moving day can sneak up on you fast—especially here in Florida, where heat, humidity, and hurricanes don’t always play nice. Whether you’re headed to a new apartment in Tampa or your dream home in Fort Lauderdale, this quick checklist will help you wrap up the essentials and keep your move stress-free.
📅 The Night Before Your Move
- Confirm your moving time. Call or text your moving company (hopefully Miracle Movers!) to double-check arrival time and location.
- Pack a personal essentials bag. Medications, chargers, snacks, water, a fresh shirt, and any pet necessities.
- Defrost and clean out the fridge. At least 24 hours in advance—you don’t want to move a wet appliance.
- Label your must-open-first boxes. Use colored tape or bold markers for easy identification.
- Snap photos of important items. Especially electronics or fragile pieces, for peace of mind (and insurance, if needed).
🌞 Morning of the Move
- Hydrate early. Florida heat doesn’t play—even in the winter.
- Protect entryways and floors. Throw down some old towels or tarps if you’re worried about mud or moisture.
- Make space for movers. Clear your driveway or street parking so the truck has easy access.
- Walk through each room. Do a final sweep to check closets, cabinets, and behind doors.
🚑 Bonus Florida-Specific Tips
- Keep sunscreen and bug spray handy. You might be outside more than you think.
- Check the weather. Afternoon rainstorms are common. Have plastic wrap or tarps ready.
- Plan for traffic. If you’re moving across a city or county, morning and evening traffic can throw off timelines.
