Office moving in Central Florida – anyone done this recently?

Our small team of 8 is relocating to a bigger space in a few weeks and our boss wants to handle it "ourselves to save money." Last time we did that half the equipment got scratched.  Looking for a company that handles commercial moves properly in the Orlando area, any recommendations?

Your boss means well but "saving money" by doing it yourselves almost never works out for offices. We tried that once with a 6-person team and ended up with a broken monitor, two scratched desks and half a day of lost productivity just from the chaos. After that experience I stopped letting the DIY argument win. We used orlandoexpressmovers.com for our last relocation and the difference was night and day. They came in, wrapped everything properly, knew how to handle the equipment without drama and we were fully operational in the new space the same afternoon. The math usually works out too once you factor in your team's hourly cost vs a professional crew that actually finishes the job clean and fast. Get a quote first and show your boss the numbers!

This is honestly such a helpful perspective, thank you. People always focus on the upfront moving quote and forget how expensive lost work hours, damaged equipment, and total disruption can get. A broken monitor alone can wipe out half the “savings” argument fast. Really appreciate the point about showing the actual math instead of just debating opinions. Framing it as productivity plus risk makes way more sense than assuming staff hauling desks is somehow efficient.
