A lot of new-home moves happen in the same corner of the map: Nocatee, St. Johns, and the newer developments stretching south of Jacksonville, where builders are putting up entire neighborhoods at once. Moving into a home nobody's lived in yet comes with its own list of things to protect — fresh paint, new floors, a driveway that hasn't seen a moving truck yet.

Protecting a brand-new home

We use floor runners, door jamb protection, and corner guards as a matter of course on new-construction move-ins, since a scuff on day one is a bad way to start. Builders and HOAs in newer communities also sometimes have specific rules about moving-truck access, which we plan around.

Coordinating with your closing date

New-build closings can shift by days or weeks depending on the builder's schedule. We'll stay flexible with your move date where we can, and if there's a gap between your old place and your new one, see our short-term storage page.

Growing communities we know well

Nocatee, St. Johns, and the surrounding new-construction corridor are some of the fastest-growing parts of Northeast Florida, and a regular part of our workload — we know the HOA and gate procedures that come with many of these communities.

New Construction & New Home Movers FAQ

Do you take extra precautions moving into a brand-new home?+

Yes — floor runners, door and jamb protection, and corner guards are standard on new-construction move-ins so nothing gets scuffed or dinged on day one.

What if my closing date moves?+

New-build closings shift more often than resale closings. Tell us as soon as you know and we'll adjust your move date where our schedule allows.

Do you know the HOA and gate rules for communities like Nocatee?+

Yes, we regularly move into gated and HOA-managed new-construction communities and are used to coordinating access and any move-in windows they require.

What if I need somewhere to store things between homes?+

See our short-term storage page — a common need when a move-out date and a new-build closing don't line up perfectly.

Do you bring your own moving equipment, like dollies?+

Yes — every crew brings furniture dollies, hand trucks, and moving straps as standard equipment. You don't need to provide or rent anything.

Do you provide floor runners or floor protection in the house?+

Yes — floor runners and protective coverings are standard on every move, especially for hardwood, tile, and carpeted stairs. It's not an upcharge or something you need to request separately.

Do you protect the furniture with moving pads?+

Yes — furniture is wrapped in moving pads and blankets before it's loaded, to protect it from scuffs and damage in transit. This is standard on every move.

Do you wrap furniture in plastic or shrink wrap too?+

For upholstered furniture, mattresses, and anything that benefits from an extra layer — especially in Florida's humidity — yes, shrink wrap over the moving pads is common practice.

Will you protect doorways, corners, and railings during the move?+

Yes — door jamb protection and corner guards are part of our standard setup, especially in tighter hallways, stairwells, and apartment or condo buildings.

Do you strap items down in the truck so nothing shifts in transit?+

Yes — everything is strapped and secured in the truck before we drive, so nothing shifts, tips, or slides during transport.
