Coral Gables, known as The City Beautiful, is one of the most carefully preserved cities in South Florida. The Mediterranean Revival architecture, the canopy of banyan trees, the strict design codes, and the residential character of streets like Coral Way and Granada Boulevard make it a unique place to live and a more demanding place to move into or out of. The same attention to detail that the city brings to its preservation rules has to come from your moving company. At Wadjet Logistics, we have been moving Coral Gables families and professionals for more than thirty years, and we know exactly what this city expects.
We work across the entire city, including the central 33134 area near Miracle Mile and Coral Way, 33146 down toward the University of Miami corridor, the Riviera and Granada sections, the prestigious estates between Old Cutler Road and Sunset Drive, and the high-rise condos along Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Whether you are moving into a historic mansion under preservation review or relocating an office on Salzedo Street, our crews arrive prepared.
Coral Gables rules are real, and they are enforced
Coral Gables enforces strict rules about commercial vehicle parking, truck weight limits on residential streets, hours of operation for moving activity, and signage on trucks. Some streets cannot accommodate large trailers at all. Sundays are generally protected as quiet days in residential zones. Our office coordinates with the city when permits are required and routes our trucks appropriately, including using shuttle vehicles when access requires it. You will never receive a knock on the door from code enforcement because of our truck.
Historic homes need experienced crews
Many homes in the historic core of Coral Gables date to the 1920s. They have plaster walls, original wood floors, hand-carved doors, narrow service stairs, and architectural features that cannot simply be repaired if damaged. We protect every doorframe, every floor surface, and every banister with proper pads and runners before we move a single piece of furniture. Our crews are trained to handle antique armoires, grand pianos, oversized art, and the kind of furniture that simply cannot be replaced if something goes wrong.

Miracle Mile and Ponce de Leon condos
The high-rise residential towers along Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Le Jeune Road, and around Merrick Park have professional management, certificate of insurance requirements, and reserved freight elevator protocols. We coordinate everything in advance: COIs issued the same business day, freight elevator reserved for the time window, masonite or protective coverings for lobby floors, and prior approval from concierge desks. Our trucks arrive on time, our crews are uniformed, and our documentation is in order.
Professional and medical clientele
Coral Gables has a large population of attorneys, physicians, executives, and academic professionals tied to the University of Miami, the legal corridor on Ponce, and the medical district. We understand that time is your most valuable resource. Our crews work efficiently without sacrificing care. We can handle a full-house move while you are at work, with daily updates by text or email, and a final walk-through with you that evening. We have moved attorneys' offices over a single weekend so Monday morning operations were never interrupted.
Old Cutler estates and gated communities
Estates along Old Cutler Road, Coral Reef Drive, and the side streets of Pinecrest-adjacent Coral Gables often have long driveways, security gates, and HOA notification requirements. Our coordinators handle gate-guard registration, share crew names and vehicle plates in advance, and confirm access windows. For larger estates, we often deploy two trucks and crews of four to six movers to complete a full-house move in a single day.
Packing built around your possessions
Many Coral Gables homes contain art collections, fine china, family heirlooms, and one-of-a-kind pieces. Our packing teams use custom-cut crates for art, double-walled boxes for fragile items, dish packs with cell dividers for china, and museum-quality paper for items that cannot tolerate ordinary newsprint. We document every item in our inventory and provide a copy at delivery so you can verify the condition of each piece.
Long-distance moves out of Coral Gables
Coral Gables families often relocate to second homes, retirement properties, or new professional opportunities outside Florida. We provide FMCSA-licensed long-distance service with binding written estimates, dedicated trucks, and consistent crew assignments. Your shipment is not auctioned, transferred, or warehoused without your knowledge. You will know exactly when your belongings are loaded, when they are in transit, and when they will arrive at the destination.
Mediterranean Revival homes and architectural protection
The Mediterranean Revival style that defines so much of Coral Gables comes with specific moving challenges: arched doorways that limit furniture width, original tile floors that scratch easily, hand-carved wood details that cannot be repaired without specialized craftsmen, and decorative ironwork on balconies and stairwells that requires careful avoidance. Our crews start every Gables move with a full walkthrough of the home, identifying every protection point and discussing the safest path for each large piece. We use additional protection materials in homes built before 1940, including padded corner guards, custom-cut floor runners, and extra blanket wrap for banisters and railings.
University of Miami area and faculty moves
The neighborhoods near the University of Miami campus, particularly around 33146 and the side streets off Ponce de Leon Boulevard, mix faculty homes, graduate housing, professional rentals, and family residences. We handle moves for incoming and outgoing faculty, visiting researchers, and the staff who keep the university running. These moves often involve specialized academic equipment, large book collections, and household goods that have been packed and unpacked across multiple relocations. We treat each move with the precision the academic schedule demands, often coordinating to finish before the start of a semester or before a sabbatical begins.
Office moves on Salzedo, Galiano, and Miracle Mile
The professional corridor along Salzedo Street, Galiano Street, and Miracle Mile houses law firms, accounting practices, medical offices, and financial advisors. We handle these office moves over weekends or holidays so business operations are not interrupted. We coordinate with building management, IT teams, and security at both addresses. Filing cabinets are inventoried, electronics are packed by workstation, modular furniture is disassembled and reassembled, and we provide complete documentation so your firm's records and assets are accounted for at every step.
Insurance, documentation, and reputation
Coral Gables clients expect documentation. We provide it. Every move includes a written estimate with line-item costs, a full inventory of items with descriptions and condition notes, photo records of high-value items before and after the move, copies of all COIs and permits, and a final walk-through at delivery. We also carry workers' compensation insurance, general liability well above industry standards, and cargo coverage. Full-value replacement coverage is available for moves with valuable items. After thirty years in the area, our reputation is the foundation of our business, and we treat every Gables move accordingly.
Specialty handling: pianos, art, and antiques
Many Coral Gables homes contain items that require specialty handling: grand and upright pianos, fine art with non-standard dimensions, antique furniture with delicate joinery, and family heirlooms that simply cannot be replaced. We have crews trained specifically for these pieces and equipment designed for their safe handling, including piano dollies, custom-cut crates for art, and padded straps for antique furniture. For especially valuable pieces, we offer additional insurance coverage and white-glove handling. Our coordinators discuss any specialty items during the estimate so the crew arrives prepared with the right people and the right equipment.
What to expect on move day in Coral Gables
Our crew arrives at the agreed time in a clearly marked truck. The lead mover walks the home with you, confirms the inventory, and lays protection at every entry point and high-traffic interior path. Loading proceeds methodically, with fragile items packed separately and labeled clearly. At the destination, the same crew unloads, places furniture as you direct, and reassembles beds and tables. A final walk-through with the lead mover confirms everything is in order and the home is left in the same condition we found it.
Sustainability and reusable materials
We use durable moving blankets and pads that are reused across hundreds of moves, sturdy boxes that we recover and reuse when possible, and recyclable packing paper. For families who want to minimize waste, we offer a box buyback option: bring your used boxes back to our facility after the move and we credit a small amount toward future services. We also coordinate with local recycling centers for cardboard removal after large moves, so your new home is not buried in packing material for weeks after the crew leaves.
