Whole-Home Residential Moves Across Greater Orlando
A house move runs a different rhythm than a one-bedroom turnover. There is the garage that has not been opened since 2019. The dining set whose leaves are bolted somewhere nobody remembers. The chest freezer in the laundry room. These jobs absorb a full day, sometimes two when the home is bigger or the carry path is longer, and they need a foreman who has walked every room before the truck shows up.
Janelle walks every Kissimmee, Saint Cloud, Celebration, Davenport, Hunters Creek, Champions Gate, and Reunion house face-to-face before she signs a flat range. She measures the wide doors. She counts the stair turns. She flags the long Saltillo runs in the older slab-on-grade ranches where the runner needs to lie flat before the first dresser clears the porch.
Florida house realities we plan around
Most homes here are slab-on-grade single-story ranches with stucco walls and tile roofs. No basements to clear. What they do have: tight interior turns at the dining-room arches, narrow utility-room doors that fight a side-by-side fridge, and tile floors that gouge if a corner of a dresser drops the wrong way. Gated master-planned communities at Champions Gate, Reunion, Celebration, and Solivita all run on HOA move-in windows and gatehouse paperwork that has to land 48 hours ahead.
Vacation rentals along the Disney corridor are their own category. A four-week peak occupancy followed by a turnover means we work around cleaner schedules, smart-lock codes, and the property manager’s window, not just yours. We have moved enough of them around US-192 and the Champions Gate stretch to know the rhythm.
Hurricane-shutter prep on the way out
From June through November, sellers around here often close the house up behind the load. Our crew runs hurricane-shutter prep on the way out the door so the home is buttoned up before the next system arrives — clipping shutters back into place, securing the lanai, walking the exterior with whoever is staying behind. That is included on whole-home jobs inside the band, not an add.
- Three-bedroom slab ranch flat band $2,020 to $3,000
- Four-bedroom house flat band $2,920 to $4,300

Hardware travels in zip-lock bags, marked with a Sharpie, taped to the piece it came off. Antique armoires, hutches, grandfather clocks, and curio cabinets go hand-carried in blanket wrap — never riding a dolly down a hallway. Call (888) 711-4778 and Janelle will set up the walk-through for your house.
