There are two ways to move. You can do it yourself: spend two weeks packing boxes after work, rent a truck, recruit friends who suddenly have other plans, carry your own couch down the stairs, and arrive at the new house exhausted with half your dishes broken and your back screaming. Or you can hire a full service mover who handles every single step from start to finish while you continue living your life. Full service moving is not a luxury. It is the difference between a move that takes three stressful weeks of your life and a move that happens in one professional day while you are at work, at the beach, or anywhere else you would rather be.

What Full Service Moving Looks Like in Practice
Many moving companies claim to offer "full service" but deliver a fraction of it. At Frank & Sons, full service is a defined scope with a defined outcome: you pack nothing, you carry nothing, you assemble nothing, and you walk into a new home where every piece of furniture is in place, every bed is ready to sleep in, and every box is in the correct room. Here is exactly what happens:
Pre-move survey - we visit your home (in person or virtually), count rooms, identify specialty items, evaluate access at both locations, and provide a detailed written estimate covering every cost. Crew size, truck size, materials, estimated time, and any access-specific charges. The estimate is the price. No surprises
Packing day - our crew arrives with every material needed and packs your entire home in one day. Kitchen: dish packs with individual wrapping for every plate, glass, and bowl. Bedrooms: wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, mattress bags for waterproof protection. Living areas: mirror boxes for artwork and TVs, bubble wrap for fragile items. Office: anti-static wrapping for electronics, labeled cables. Garage: reinforced boxes for tools and hardware. Every box labeled with room and contents
Furniture preparation - every piece of furniture wrapped in quilted blankets and stretch wrap. Legs padded with corrugated cardboard. Glass surfaces covered. Corner protectors on dressers and entertainment centers. Mattresses sealed in bags. Beds, dining tables, desks, and shelving units disassembled with hardware bagged, labeled, and taped to the corresponding piece
Home protection - floor runners laid in hallways and entryways at your old home. Door frames padded. Wall corners protected where large furniture passes through. The same protection installed at your new home before the first item comes through the door. Both homes treated with the same respect
Loading - heavy items low, fragile items cushioned, tall items secured upright. The truck loaded as one integrated system where nothing shifts during transport. Local, statewide, and cross-country moves each have different loading strategies, and our crews apply the right one for the distance your belongings will travel
Transport - your belongings on our trucks, driven by our crews. Local moves completed same day. Statewide moves delivered same day or next day. Nationwide moves with guaranteed delivery windows and communication throughout transit
Delivery and setup - boxes to correct rooms. Furniture unwrapped, inspected, and placed where you direct. Beds reassembled and ready to sleep in. Dining table set up. Desks positioned. You walk into a functional home, not a warehouse of boxes
You Do Nothing. We Do Everything. That Is Not a Tagline.
Full service means full service. You do not pack, carry, load, drive, unload, or assemble. You point, we move. From the first plate in the kitchen to the last bed frame in the guest room. Call

Full Service Moving vs. Other Options
Full service vs. labor-only - labor-only means you packed the boxes and rented the truck, and the movers just do the heavy lifting. You save money but you do all the packing yourself, which takes days and results in more damage because most people do not pack dishes, glasses, and fragile items correctly. Full service eliminates the risk of amateur packing
Full service vs. self-pack + move - some families pack themselves and hire movers for the load, transport, and unload only. This saves the packing cost but means you spend 1-2 weeks packing after work and on weekends. For families with children, demanding jobs, or limited physical ability, the time cost exceeds the dollar savings
Full service vs. DIY - renting a truck, recruiting friends, buying boxes and tape, packing everything yourself, loading the truck yourself, driving an unfamiliar vehicle, and unloading at the other end. The cheapest option on paper, but factor in the rental cost, materials, fuel, pizza and beer for your "helpers," time off work, and the damage to belongings and your body, and the real cost often approaches professional moving. Except without the insurance, the expertise, and the floor protection
Florida-Specific Full Service Advantages
Full service moving in Florida carries climate-specific advantages that DIY movers miss entirely:
Professional packing protects against humidity - our packing materials include moisture barriers, sealed mattress bags, and stretch wrap that protects upholstered furniture from Florida's 80%+ humidity. DIY movers rarely use these materials and discover mold on their sofa two weeks after the move
Climate-aware loading - we know which items cannot sit in a 140-degree truck for hours: electronics, candles, vinyl records, medications, cosmetics, and photographs. These are loaded last, unloaded first, or transported separately in your AC vehicle. DIY movers learn this lesson when they find melted candles on their furniture
Thunderstorm preparedness - Florida afternoon thunderstorms appear with 10 minutes notice between May and October. Our crews carry mattress bags, tarps, and the awareness to move quickly when weather approaches. A mattress or sofa soaked by a thunderstorm between the truck and the front door develops mold within 24 hours in Florida humidity
Gated community compliance - Southwest Florida's gated communities require advance gate notifications, HOA scheduling, insurance certificates, and approved hours. Full service includes this coordination. DIY movers get turned away at the gate. See our gated community movers page for details
