“Ron’s crew did an amazing job. Didn’t waste time with anything, and were friendly and thorough. Would recommend to anyone”

Cole Rowe here, owner of Rowes Moving Pensacola. Moving dates on the Emerald Coast have a way of not cooperating. A closing drifts a month; a new build in Pace slips; a Ferry Pass lease ends before the next unit is livable; a named storm reshuffles everybody’s plans at once. Since 2011 we’ve spared families the hassle of renting their own unit and shuttling a load across town to cover that stretch.
The same crew across the whole gap
We take your belongings out of the old address, keep them in our care, and return them the day the new door opens — one set of trucks, the same faces at both ends. Each in-and-out date goes onto Deshawn Pettis’s truck board the day we book it, so nothing wanders off while your cartons wait stacked in our building.
| Crew size | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $135/hr | Smaller homes, loading in and out |
| 3 movers + truck | $185/hr | Larger homes, quicker turnaround |
What a storage bridge costs
| Situation | Flat rate |
|---|---|
| One-bedroom, held roughly a month | $295 – $410 plus storage |
| Three-bedroom, held roughly a month | $620 – $850 plus storage |
| Covering a 2-6 week lease gap | By home size |
| Waiting out a late closing | By home size |
| Redelivery to the new door | Standard hourly |
Around here, most storage bridges come down to a short list of situations:
- A Pace or Cantonment builder hands over keys after your move-out day
- Your buyer drags the paperwork out an extra week or two
- A Ferry Pass or Brent lease lapses before the next place is ready
- A hurricane warning forces an early load-out before there’s anywhere to unload
Everything rolls into one quote — you won’t be reconciling a mover’s invoice and a warehouse statement that arrive on separate days. Your cargo coverage, up to $1,000,000 per shipment, stays in force for every day your things sit inside our building.
Why a coastal town relies on it
Two forces drive this locally. Construction across Pace, Milton, and Cantonment keeps bumping closing dates, and plenty of families have left a whole home with us for the two weeks a builder still needed. Then there’s the season itself — when a storm turns toward the coast between June and November, folks load out early and let us hold everything until it’s safe to bring back.
Loading in and out on your clock
A delay doesn’t keep office hours, so both the load-in and the load-out run evenings and weekends at the standard rate, never an overtime charge. Should a storm brew near your delivery day, Deshawn makes the reschedule call himself. Prefer it packed up before it lands in our building? Route it through our full-service packing team on the way in. When your new door finally opens, local moving covers the in-town leg and long-distance moving carries it across state lines. To size the whole bridge, run the numbers on the moving calculator.
