Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has built its reputation on quoting one honest rate and delivering exactly that, with background-checked crews who show up on time and communicate throughout the move. Real customer reviews describe flat-rate pricing that held firm on complex multi-day jobs, professional eight-person crews, and a company that stands behind its word. Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa is a family-owned, licensed and insured company serving Tampa Bay since 2010, with more than 25,000 completed moves.

Hiring a moving company means handing over everything you own to strangers. That is not a small thing. You want to know the price is real, the crew is professional, and nobody disappears when something goes sideways. The reviews below are from real customers who hired Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa and can tell you in their own words what the experience was actually like.

What Does It Mean to Quote a Price and Actually Mean It?

Too often, moving companies quote one number and bill another. Hidden fees show up for stairs, long carries, fuel, or extra time. At Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa, we quote one honest rate before you book. What we tell you on the phone is what you pay. Here is what one customer found when that promise held up on a four-bedroom move:

“This is the best move that we have ever had! Im a single dad and a very busy man and didnt have time to mess with all the packing and the stress of moving our four bedroom house. I wasn’t sold on the unpacking but Josh threw it in on the flat rate. He told me that it would be a three day job and recomended a flat rate to guarantee the rate. They completely packed and prepared my entire home in ten hours! I was shocked when I got home to see how much they got done. The six man and two women crew did an amazing job and was competly finshed by dinner time. The next day they were here and the six man crew had two trucks and had everything loaded in six hours. They were so fast they had a couple hours to start the unpack. On day three it only took four hours to get every thing unpacked. I really didnt expect them to finnish so quickly. They provided all the material, all the labor and the trucks for the flat rate. You can tell that this company cares a lot about their word and there reputation. I would recommend them to anyone.”

Does the Crew Actually Show Up on Time and Handle Your Things Carefully?

Respect for your time and your belongings is not something a moving company should get credit for as a bonus. It is the baseline. Showing up when you said you would, calling ahead, and having a plan before the first box moves, that is what the job looks like when it is done right. This customer found that out firsthand:

“I spoke to Gary on the phone and explained what I needed to have moved. He was very friendly and the quoted price was reasonable. He said his guys would be here at 9:00am on Saturday. We received a call on Saturday at 8:30 from Josh letting us know that they were on their way and should be here by 9:00am. They arrived right on time. Josh evaluated the situation to make sure there wouldn’t be any problems and came up with a plan to move the furniture. Brian and Jamie came in, and they all got started. Getting the armoire up the stairs had to have been difficult due to the weight and size of the piece, but they handled it expertly. Josh, Brian and Jamie were all very friendly and extremely professional. They took their time with the move to make sure we were satisfied and nothing was damaged. They did a fantastic job, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. It was worth every penny.”

Frequently Asked Questions

For most local moves in Tampa Bay, we quote an hourly rate covering the crew and truck, with travel listed as a plain separate line so nothing is buried. A flat rate makes more sense for larger, more complex jobs, like a four-bedroom house requiring packing, loading, and unpacking across multiple days, where locking in a number protects both sides from uncertainty.

Either way, we tell you the structure before you book, not after the truck is loaded. The goal is that the final invoice matches what we discussed on the phone.

We quote one honest rate before booking and we do not add fees on the back end for things like stairs, long carries, or fuel that were never mentioned. The review in this post describes unpacking being included in the flat rate because the crew lead said it would fit. That kind of conversation happens before work starts, not after.

If something about your move changes between booking and moving day, we talk about it with you directly. People are far more upset by surprises than by a number they agreed to upfront.

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa is a family-owned company founded by Gary Thacker in Riverview in 2010. It is not a large call-center operation, and the people you speak with when you call (813) 505-2560 are connected to the actual work being done. That matters because the person quoting your move understands what the crew will actually encounter.

We have completed more than 25,000 moves since 2010, but the business still runs on direct communication rather than automated systems that hand you off to whoever is available.

This is worth understanding before moving day, not after. Florida's default carrier liability is 60 cents per pound, which means a 50-pound television damaged in a move would be covered for 30 dollars regardless of its actual value. That is the legal minimum, and it is not enough protection for most households.

We explain the difference between that default and full-value protection before your move is scheduled, so you can make an informed choice. Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa carries two million dollars in liability coverage, but your individual belongings need their own valuation decision made in advance.

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa uses partner crews who own or rent their trucks and are paid based on the job. They have a direct stake in doing the work well, which is different from day labor sourced through an app with no connection to the company's reputation.

The crew in the first review, eight people across two trucks over three days, and the three-person crew in the second review both reflect that model. When a crew's livelihood depends on the outcome of each job, the incentives are aligned with yours.
