Small Move Planning Checklist — Miami, FL

Moving a few heavy items across Miami — a sofa up three flights in Coral Gables or a washer down a narrow Miami Beach stairwell — still needs planning. This checklist helps busy households in Miami, FL prepare before posting a job so ERGO workers arrive ready, safe, and efficient. 1) Define the scope: list each item (dimensions and weight estimates), number of trips, and whether disassembly or reassembly is required. Example: “Queen mattress (60x80x12, 50 lb), bed frame needs disassembly.” 2) Timing and access: give exact pickup/dropoff addresses, preferred time windows, elevator availability, stair counts, and parking or loading-zone notes common in Miami neighborhoods (Downtown, Wynwood, Little Havana). Include building policies or gate codes. 3) Photos and obstacles: upload clear photos of items, stairways, tight corners, and parking spots. Photos reduce back-and-forth and help an ERGO worker assess equipment needs. 4) Safety and equipment: state if you need blankets, straps, a dolly, or two+ helpers. ERGO workers follow safe-lifting practices; listing required gear speeds accurate matching. 5) Pricing and expectations: indicate your budget or ask for an estimate. For small local moves in Miami, most jobs complete in 1–3 hours depending on distance and complexity. Include preferred payment notes. 6) Communication plan: add contact phone, building contact, and a preferred delivery confirmation (photo or signed note) so the job closes cleanly. Following this checklist reduces delays and surprise fees, keeps everyone safer, and helps ERGO match you with the right local helper. When you’re ready, post the job with these details so an ERGO worker nearby can review, accept, and begin — then confirm completion with photos and a final note.
