Hot tubs are heavy, bulky, and usually installed somewhere that made sense for a permanent spot, not for getting it back out again — behind a fence, on a deck, or wedged into a side yard. We handle the draining, disconnection, rigging, and transport, and figure out access problems before moving day, not on it.

Before we arrive

The tub needs to be drained and electrically disconnected — we recommend having a licensed electrician handle the disconnect if it's hardwired, similar to how we approach appliances. We can talk through timing so it's ready when we arrive.

Access and rigging

Fences, decks, and narrow side yards are the norm, not the exception, for hot tub moves. We assess the path out ahead of time and bring the right rigging and manpower, including removing a fence panel temporarily if that's the only way out.

Local moves and relocations within the same property

Sometimes this is a full move to a new home; other times it's relocating a spa to a different spot on the same property. Either way, the same careful handling applies.

Hot Tub & Spa Movers FAQ

Do I need to drain the hot tub myself before you arrive?+

Yes, it needs to be drained (and electrically disconnected, ideally by a licensed electrician if hardwired) before moving day.

What if my hot tub is behind a fence or in a tight side yard?+

This is common — we assess access ahead of time and plan for it, including temporarily removing a fence panel if that's genuinely the only path out.

Can you just relocate a spa to a different spot on the same property?+

Yes, this is a regular request, not just full-property moves.

How many people does it take to move a hot tub?+

It depends on size and access, but typically more than a standard furniture crew — we size it based on your specific tub and site.

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.
