FF&E Delivery and Installation in Northeast Florida

At a hotel, rooms come off the market in blocks. Your renovation lead tells us which floors construction and housekeeping have released, and we work those while guest corridors on other floors stay quiet. Back-of-house routes, service elevators, and the loading dock are shared with laundry and food deliveries, so we agree times with the property before the truck is booked.

For an office, the property manager sets the dock slot and freight-elevator hours, and most expect an insurance certificate listing the building owner before any freight arrives. When a dealer ships in several trucks over a week, we book a crew for each arrival instead of waiting for the full order. From June through November, confirm a fallback delivery day with the dealer, because freight lanes into Northeast Florida can stall ahead of a storm.

New FF&E gets damaged most often between the dock and the room, not on the road. Before the first cart moves, we pad elevator walls, lay runners over corridor carpet, and guard door frames on the route. Casegoods stay in their factory cartons until they reach the room. A piece noted as damaged at the dock stays with its packaging and label intact, set aside in the room, until the dealer decides how to handle it.

Assembly follows the maker’s instruction sheet; anything that calls for the dealer’s own installer, such as mounted headboards, wall-hung desks, or panel systems, waits for them. Packaging is separated as the property asks, often cardboard in one pile and foam and plastic in another, and hauled off at the end of each day rather than left in a service hallway. Humid docks soften cardboard fast, so cartons move inside quickly.
