Home » Moving Blog » Highlighted Reviews: You Are Always a Priority with Our Moving Company

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa customer reviews show what being treated as a priority actually looks like: crews that communicate throughout the move, final costs that come in at or below the original quote, and movers who keep working even when conditions get difficult. Multiple reviewers report returning for a second move, pointing to consistent follow-through rather than a one-time effort.

Great moving companies treat every customer like they matter, not just the easy jobs or the big ones. At Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa, making you a priority is not a tagline. It is how we operate. Here are three reviews that show what that looks like in practice.

Great Moving Companies Make You a Priority

I Wish There Were More Than 5 Stars

“From the first point of contact with Darryl throughout the entire move was so refreshing. Normally a move is stressful enough but they made us feel at ease…Their politeness and friendliness was much appreciated. ..and wow..they had the move done in no time…no goofing off and wasting time. they were on a mission…..Darryl communicated with me throughout the move with updates…The cost was significantly less than the initial quote…Thanks to the crew..If you need a professional and caring company use these guys…this is my second time and I will be calling them again in a few months. I had another company from Tampa move me from Virginia and imagine the worst nightmare…this will make you appreciate Brothers. I wish there were more than 5 stars… Thank you and God Bless.”

Two things stand out here. First, communication throughout the move, not just at the start. Second, the final cost came in below the original quote. That is what honest hourly pricing looks like when a crew works without padding the clock.

I Have Used Them Twice This Past Year

“Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has been so amazing! I have used them twice this past year to move to a new apartment and I will definitely use them again in the future. Darryl gave me a fast estimate and was able to schedule my move quickly and easily. The movers, Troy and Tyler, were efficient and hard working- even in the rain! Overall, I had a really great experience and would recommend the company to anyone looking for high quality, afforadable movers!”

Moving in the rain in Tampa is not unusual. Troy and Tyler kept working. That is the kind of crew you want when the weather does not cooperate.

By Far My Best Experience

This was by far my best experience with a moving company. Darryl was extremely helpful during the initial call. He reassure me that their would be no additional fees besides the rates we discussed, as I’ve been burnt in the past. Michael, Troy, Matthew, and Devin arrived excited to get started even though I had a later move, and they had a more difficult than expected move before me. They hustled as if they were just as concerned about the hourly rate as I was and they finished an hour and a half sooner than I expected. They were extremely careful with my belongings and my freshly painted walls at my new house. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!!”

This reviewer had been burned by hidden fees before. Darryl told them upfront: the rate we quote is the rate you pay. The crew finished an hour and a half ahead of schedule and protected freshly painted walls. That is the job done right.

If you have questions about how we price a move or what to expect on moving day, call us at (813) 505-2560. We are happy to talk it through before you book anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

We quote local moves by the hour, so if the crew works faster than the estimate, you pay for the actual time, not the projected time. The estimate is a ceiling, not a fixed price. We build in a realistic buffer because Tampa Bay traffic and elevator waits are real variables, and sometimes the job simply goes smoother than expected.

What we will never do is pad the clock. Our crews are partner crews who own or rent their trucks and are paid on the job, so they have every reason to move efficiently, not to stretch hours.

For local moves you pay one hourly rate that covers the crew and the truck. Travel time is quoted as a single plain line before you book, not buried in fine print on moving day. There are no fuel surcharges, stair fees, or assembly fees added after the fact.

We tell you exactly what the rate covers before you commit. If something about your move would change the price, like a long carry at a high-rise in downtown Tampa, we talk about it on the front end, not when the truck is already loaded.

We treat communication as the actual service, not a bonus. You will know when the crew is on the way, and if something shifts during the day, like a delay from the job before yours, we tell you before you are left wondering. Most of the frustration people feel after a move comes from not knowing what was happening, not from the move itself.

That is not a policy we invented recently. It shows up consistently in reviews because it is how we have operated since Gary Thacker started the company in Riverview in 2010.

Careful crews matter more than any paperwork, but paperwork matters too. Florida's default carrier liability is 60 cents per pound, which means a 50-pound television worth 800 dollars would be covered for 30 dollars if damaged. That gap is real, and we explain it before moving day so you can decide whether to add full-value protection.

On the physical side, our crews wrap furniture and work methodically around door frames and walls. But we would rather you understand the valuation question now than be surprised by it after something gets scratched.

The main advantage is that we already know how you move. If you called us for an apartment move in St. Petersburg and you are calling again six months later for a house in Riverview, the estimate conversation is shorter because we have a baseline for your inventory and your expectations.

We do not run loyalty discount programs or anything like that, but repeat customers tend to get faster scheduling because the back-and-forth is already done. Call us at 813-505-2560 and mention your previous move when you book.
