Boca Moving Company
Movers in Boca Raton and Highland Beach
Boca Moving Company is a licensed mover for Boca Raton and Highland Beach, handling condo towers along A1A, gated communities and older homes near downtown. Every move gets a written estimate that you sign before moving day, and a $250 deposit holds a local date.
Moving in Boca Raton: the homes we plan around
Boca Raton had 97,422 residents at the 2020 census, and its housing covers a wide range. Much of the city's look goes back to the architect Addison Mizner, who became town planner in 1924, which is why so many buildings here are Mediterranean Revival or Spanish Colonial Revival. Today a Boca Raton move might start in a gated community such as Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, The Sanctuary or Le Lac, in Pearl City just north of downtown, in the Old Floresta Historic District, or in a condo on State Road A1A between the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean.
Each of those comes with its own moving day. A gated community has a gatehouse and a list the crew must be on. A condo has an elevator, a loading area and a move window. We ask about all of it on the first call, so the crew size, the truck and the timing fit your home before anyone arrives.
Many people with a Boca Raton mailing address live outside the city limits, in areas such as West Boca Raton. All of it is in Palm Beach County, and we move you the same way.
Highland Beach: condo moves on A1A
Highland Beach is a small town on a stretch of A1A of about three miles, between Boca Raton and Delray Beach. It was incorporated in 1949 and had 4,295 residents at the 2020 census. The Historical Society of Palm Beach County describes its homes as everything from 10 to 15 story condominium buildings to multi-story mansions.
A move into or out of one of those towers is mostly about the building. We send the certificate of insurance to your building manager, reserve the elevator and loading time with them, and schedule the crew inside the building's move window. Hallways and elevator cabs get padded the way your building asks.
What your condo or HOA usually asks for, and what we do
- A certificate of insurance naming the association or building: we send it to the manager before the move.
- An elevator reservation and a loading dock or service entrance time: we coordinate them with the manager and plan the crew around them.
- A move window, often weekdays only: we schedule the crew inside it.
- A gate list in a gated community: we give the gatehouse the crew and truck details your community asks for.
- Protection for floors, walls and elevators: floors and door frames are covered before anything moves.
- Every association writes its own rules and sets its own deposits. Send us your building's moving rules or your manager's email, and we take it from there.
Downsizing, seasonal moves and storage
At the 2020 census, 23.1% of Boca Raton residents were 65 or older, and in Highland Beach the figure was 61.6%. Many of the moves in this part of the county are a family home going into a condo, or a household that lives here part of the year. We help with both: sorting what moves, what is stored and what is donated, and measuring large pieces against the new doorways and elevator so nothing arrives that will not fit.
For seasonal residents, booking early gives you the most choice of dates. What you do not need this season can wait in our storage vaults until you are back.
Between Boca Raton, nearby cities and out of state
Delray Beach borders Boca Raton to the north, with Highland Beach between them on the barrier island. We move households between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale and the rest of Palm Beach and Broward counties, and a move between any of them is a local move.
For a move out of state, Boca Moving Company works under its own federal authority. We survey your goods in person or by live video, give you a written estimate, and send the federal booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move with it. A deposit of 35% of the estimate total reserves a long distance date once you sign.
What a local move in Boca Raton costs
Local moves within Palm Beach and Broward counties are priced by the hour: from $170 an hour with 2 movers or $230 with 3 movers, with a 3-hour minimum that includes 1 hour of travel, plus $120 for fuel. Homes with 4 or more bedrooms and moves with packing get a video or in-home estimate first, so the price fits the job.
The written estimate you sign before the move is your price. A $250 deposit holds a local date.
Questions about moving in Boca Raton
Do you move people in and out of Highland Beach condo buildings?
Yes. Give us your building manager's email and we send the certificate of insurance, reserve the elevator and loading time, and schedule the crew inside the building's move window.
My address says Boca Raton but I live west of the city limits. Do you serve me?
Yes. West Boca Raton and the other areas with a Boca Raton mailing address are in Palm Beach County, and we move you there the same way, at the same prices.
I live in a gated community. What do you need from me?
Your community's moving rules, if it has them, and the name of the person who manages the gate list. We send the crew and truck details the gatehouse asks for so the truck is not held at the gate.
