Viera, Florida has consistently ranked as one of the top master planned communities in the Nation. An area that started getting built up in the early 1990’s and is still only about half built out of what it will eventually grow into has attracted families from all over the country as well as retirees to Florida Space Coast is continuing to grow. The area has so much to offer and it is still opening new stores and restaurants regularly as commercial and residential construction continues at full speed.
Viera Florida is part of Florida’s Space Coast, which is used to refer to Nasa and the Kennedy Space Center. Over the last 20 years the Space Coast has grown as private space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have come on the scene, as well as major aerospace companies like L3Harris and Northup Gruman continuing to grow. These companies have attracted talent from across the country to their high paying jobs and the excitement of their expanding civilization into space. These companies have been a top factor in families moving to Viera, where they can build a new home and settle down in the master planned community and raise a family.
Viera has more to offer than just jobs though. It offers A rated public schools which appeals to young families, a growing senior population with exclusive 55+ neighborhoods as well as condo associations not to mention its proximity to the beach. And if all of that isn’t enough its just a short five away from all Orlando has to offer for entertainment. With all of that, there are also some things to know about the area before moving to Viera.
Understanding HOA and community rules and regulations
Some neighborhoods and condo associations have strict rules on move-ins that can turn into a headache fast when they come up without knowing. Things like moving time restrictions, elevator access, truck access and limited parking. Moving companies coming from out of town who don’t know the area can quickly get surprised by one of these and turn what they thought was going to be a quick move into a long day. Sometimes they may not even be able to unload and could be forced to unload into storage, creating a second move with a smaller moving truck or when you can get truck access.
At Tropic Moving, we know the local community from being in business since 2017. We know the in’s and outs of all of the communities as well as senior facilities. Our expertise in this area is one of the many reasons we are able to guarantee an easy move with our company. We have relationships all over town so even if something does come up we know who to call.
What to know when building a new house
The new home construction in Viera has not slowed one bit in recent years. What sounds better when relocating then to build a custom house just the way you want it? Building can be fun, but can also make for a tricky move to line up with a lease ending or the sale of another home.
Construction timelines are never certain and there can be a lot of last minute delays that throw off a scheduled move that can be magnified when selling a house or dealing with a lease ending. Sometimes this may require long term or short term storage in between your new home being completed. This may require as much as fully moving into storage or or even just a small short term holdover in the moving truck between closings. These are all things an experienced company will be able to advise you on as well have flexibility to accommodate whatever your needs are. Experienced companies see these situations every day and will not have a problem with them.
Another factor with new construction is how well your home will be protected when you move in. You had your final walk though and had the house cleaned and finally it’s time to move in. The last thing anyone wants is to have to repaint walls, doorways or have the floor scratched while moving in. At Tropic Moving we provide floor and entryway protection for each home we are moving in or out of. We also thoroughly pad and protect all furniture being moved, which also creates a barrier between furniture corners and edges or feet to keep them from touching walls or other parts of the home during the moving process.
Planning your move around the Florida Weather
When moving in Viera, Florida one of the big factors to consider is the weather. With peak moving season being the summer this brings many challenges from the weather. Not only do we have the Florida heat to battle but the rain as well as the potential of hurricanes later in the summer months. Experienced companies know how to handle this and can accommodate changes if needed. For larger moves as well as apartment moves with stairs, it’s important to schedule the proper crew size to complete each move efficiently. This helps get moves done in the early part of the day which helps to avoid afternoon showers. We also have multiple crews going out each day so we have the crew and fleet to be able to accommodate any unexpected changes during the move day.
We also have experience working in the Florida summer weather since 2017 and know how to operate and anticipate a possible hurricane. This means we know which roads mey be closed down with possible evacuation orders of the barrier islands and smaller details that come up in these situations. This may require storage or larger crews to get jobs done quicker. The benefits of working with an experienced company is that we have all of the solutions and will ensure you are not the one who has to stress about any of this. We will take all of that off of your shoulders.
How to schedule the most cost effective moving service?
“How much does moving cost?” This is a loaded question for us, and one that we get a lot. It’s like buying a car, there are many different options and price levels depending on what you need and then some luxuries if budget allows. Moving depends on factors like how much you have, how much help you need, what you can do yourself, how far you’re going and if you need help packing boxes. These are just some of the top influencing factors to consider with the price. Some people can pack themselves to save money, some just don’t have time. It all depends what your move involves. On top of that you can get better pricing during the off season as well as early in the week month sometimes. Some companies charge premiums for weekend days or end of the month.
Some folks have little to no flexibility when it comes to moving and are locked in to just a few days when they can move. Some have flexibility and if you do, that is when you can see if there is a certain day where you can get a better day, larger crew for less or get a deal on packing. With such a strong end of the month and weekend demand some companies are happy to fill those early spots to balance their schedule. It all starts with a quick call or going online to get an estimate started.
What to know when getting moving estimates
We recommend getting moving estimates at least 30 days from your estimated move date. This allows you to schedule an on site estimate, get estimates from multiple moving companies, and still have time to secure the date that works best for your move. If you get an estimate too late, reputable companies will be booked up and you will have limits on crew size and available dates. It’s best to get at least three estimates to understand price range, get a realistic idea on how long it should take, decide what crew size makes the most sense, and see who can follow though on showing up on time for an on site estimate and how quickly you will get an estimate sent to you following the call.
In today’s age any reputable company should be able to send you a digital price estimate quickly. At Tropic Moving we email and text a copy to you as soon as we get off the phone. You can also sign the estimate digitally to agree to it. We take just a small deposit on most local jobs to secure your spot. Companies asking for more than 10-15% deposit down should be a red flag for consumers. Avoid any companies asking for larger deposits over the phone. If you have a larger deposit this should only be after an on site estimate and you should have at least 3 estimates to gauge what price is and around what companies are asking for a deposit on move of your size. Usually the red flag companies are an obvious outlier on price and deposit requests.
Ask questions such as how long they’ve been in business. Ask about their training process for their crews as well as if they have their own employees of hire laborers for certain moves. You’d be surprised which companies do not have their own employees. Other questions you can ask are if they are licensed and insured, if they have workers comp insurance and how its handled if someone gets hurt in your home as well as who will be running the jobs and how damage claims are handled. Reputable companies have processes for all of this and answer questions quickly and clearly.
