AD Movers moves hot tubs on a spa dolly with a crew sized to the shell and to the gates, slopes and steps at both houses, then sets the tub on your new pad. Hot tubs carry a specialty charge on top of the hourly rate, and it shows in your quote.
Spa Moves We Handle
Spa makers put an empty hot tub at roughly 300 to 1,100 pounds, depending on size, and the shell has no good handholds. The job is mostly planning: the gate, the side yard, the slope and the pad at the new house.
Most backyard tubs are moved the same way: tipped onto their side onto a spa dolly, rolled out through the yard, and strapped standing in the truck. The shell is never dragged across pavers or deck boards.
Swim spas and oversize tubs may not fit through any gate on edge. Some need a fence panel taken down, and some need a crane company. We look at photos and measurements and tell you which before you book.
Side yards between New Orleans houses are often tight, and a tub on edge needs room for its depth plus the dolly. Measure the narrowest spot on the path, including AC units, meters and gate posts, and send it to us.
Hot tub wiring is work for a licensed electrician at both ends, so book one to disconnect before move day and hook up at the new house. You drain the tub a day ahead so the shell has time to drip out.
What a Spa Move Includes
Rated 4.8 across 115 Google reviews and 200+ across all platforms. Read the reviews. Here is what is in the price on a spa move.
The crew lead walks from the tub to the truck and checks the measurements you sent: gate, side yard, slope, steps and any low branches. Cover, steps and loose accessories come off and go to the truck separately.
The shell is lifted onto its side, set on a spa dolly and strapped. Plywood bridges grass, mud and soft ground so the wheels do not sink, and pads protect the cabinet corners where most damage starts.
At the new house the tub is rolled to the pad, stood back down, and slid into position so the electrician can reach the panel. The pad should be level and ready before move day.
Pricing and Who Shows Up
AD Movers has been in business in New Orleans since 2013, with 1,000+ moves. A tub can move on its own or with the rest of your house.
How It Works
Book online or call 7am to 7pm, seven days a week. Have the tub model or size and a photo of the path ready.
Put both addresses in the form above for a ballpark price in about 60 seconds. Then send the tub size and photos of the gate, side yard and new pad so the specialty charge and crew size can be set.
Choose your start time, morning or afternoon. Book your electrician for both ends and make sure the new pad or deck is finished and level before the tub arrives.
The crew brings the spa dolly, skates, straps, plywood and enough people for the lift. You have the tub drained and disconnected. We roll it out, haul it and set it on the new pad.
Your Moving Crew
The acrylic shell and the cabinet corners take the damage when a tub is dropped or dragged. Plumbing inside the cabinet can crack if the tub is twisted. That is why the shell is tipped onto its side on the pad and stays on the dolly until it reaches the new one.

Equipped for Every Move
A spa dolly built to carry a tub on its side, moving skates, ratchet straps, plywood sheets for soft ground and moving pads for the cabinet. A regular furniture dolly is not built for a tub on edge. The LPSC license link below lets you check us first.

Common Questions
Hot tub moves are billed by the hour like any local move, plus a specialty charge for the tub. The total depends on the tub size, the gate and side yard, steps or slopes, and the drive between houses. The online tool gives a ballpark price in about 60 seconds. Your final price is set before move day, and nothing gets added unless you agree.
A licensed electrician, at both houses. Hot tubs are usually wired to their own breaker, and that work is not something movers should do. Book your electrician to disconnect the tub before the crew arrives and to hook it up once it is on the new pad. We set the tub so the electrician can reach the control panel.
Yes. Drain it completely a day ahead and leave the cover off so the shell can drip out. Water left in the lines adds weight and can spill inside the cabinet when the tub is tipped. Take off the cover, steps and any loose filters, and move spa chemicals in your own car rather than on the moving truck.
It depends on the tub depth and the narrowest point on the path. Tubs travel on their side, so the clearance you need is the tub depth plus the dolly. Measure the gate, the side yard, AC units, meters and gate posts and send photos. If it will not fit, we tell you before you book whether a fence panel has to come down.
Call us with the make, model and length first. Some large tubs move like any other spa with a bigger crew. Others will not clear a gate or side yard on edge and need a fence panel removed or a crane company brought in. We tell you which before move day so nothing is decided at the side of your house.
Yes, if the surface is ready for it. The new pad or deck should be level, finished and built to carry a filled tub before we arrive. Ask your deck builder or contractor about the load. We roll the tub onto the pad and slide it into place, but we cannot judge whether a deck structure is strong enough.
Yes. The Louisiana Public Service Commission licenses AD Movers under LPSC license #8127, and we are fully insured on every full move. The crew is AD Movers employees who are background-checked and answer to the owner. You can verify the license on the LPSC website, and the office answers 7am to 7pm every day.
Book once your electrician and the new pad are lined up, since the tub cannot be set until both are ready. Saturdays and the end of the month fill first. Same-day and last-minute moves happen when a crew is free, so call (504) 237-0855 and ask. Weekend rates are the same as weekdays.
We check the path before we quote, we tell you up front if a fence panel or a crane is needed, and we confirm the price before move day. If anything about the move is off, call us the same day and Adonay will call you back.
