About Short Moves Inc. :
We started our business with 1 truck in February 1990. George Burns is the guy that started it all. George had a goal of treating people how he wanted to be treated and running an honest business. To this day George has maintained the reputation of Short Moves as the most hard-working, trusting, reliable, and consistent moving company in Florida. His son Steve Burns started working with the company in 2010 and continues the same traditions. In 2011 we started our resale store, Consignment House, ran by Sherry Burns, George's wife. The Burns family and the entire Short Moves team knows moving, and how to do a job so nice that you will want to tell everyone how great it was. That's how we are a business built by repeat & referral customers. 

Here's a few good reasons to choose Short Moves:

We have never missed a commitment.
We never overbook our schedule, and are proud to say we never missed a scheduled move! Some companies book as many jobs as they possibly can and then cancel the smaller jobs or fill in the spots with rental trucks and rental /temporary labor. We won't leave you hanging! Since 1990 we have made every scheduled move a great move! 
We take pride in our work.
We send you a professional crew with a great attitude. Our movers take pride in their ability to take care of your furniture efficiently and want to make your move day stress free, if thats even possible. 
It takes a great crew to make a great company. We have some movers on our crew that have been with our company over 10 years. We never send any temporary or day labor workers.  Every employee we send into your home has passed a nationwide background check. 
We come equipped.
We have a fleet of our own moving trucks stocked with all the essentials. 
Our trucks are cleaned, inspected, and stocked daily before every move. 
We come with tools, dollies, stretch wrap, furniture bands, moving pads, wardrobe boxes, speed packs, mattress carriers, and the list goes on. The best part is - we don't charge you a bunch of fees for all that stuff. We have what we need to complete your move the best way we can. We also do not over-use materials to waste time or cost. Our goal is to move you efficiently, damage free, and with no surprise fees. 
If we mess up, we take care of it. 
One of the biggest differences with moving companies is what will they do if they break or damage anything. There's a lot of moving companies that handle their damages poorly, paying as little as possible because they use cheaper unskilled labor (the people who do the work)
Ask us how we handle damage claims. We do not charge our employees for the damages unlike some companies. Our crew will not make you feel bad about their mistakes. The goal is to have a happy customer at the end of every move day.
If we damage something on one of our jobs we offer to have the damaged piece repaired. If the item cannot be repaired, we pay our customer up to the current market value for that item, with few limitations. We want our customer to be satisfied with how we handled the accident. We don't pay you "Pennies-per-Pound" like some companies do.
We don't play games with your money.
We charge an hourly rate, only for the time we are with you. Your clock starts when we arrive at the first pick-up location, we work hard until the move is done, at that point we charge you to the quarter hour we are working in. We only have a 1 hour minimum. Our prices are based on how many men you need and how far you are moving. 
With our experience we only need to take 5-20 minutes over the phone to ask you some questions to work up an accurate estimate. You can also fill out our online estimate form .
