Home » Moving Blog » Why Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa is the Best Tampa Movers

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa stands out among Tampa movers because of transparent flat-rate pricing with no added fees on moving day, partner crews who own their equipment and have real accountability, and a policy of explaining insurance coverage honestly before a move begins. The company has completed more than 25,000 moves since 2010 and holds an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

A note from Gary Thacker, owner of Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa

My name is Gary Thacker. I started Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa in 2010 out of Riverview, and I want to take a minute to tell you honestly what we do and how we do it. We handle residential, office, and commercial moves, both local and long distance. Our pricing is competitive with other Tampa movers, and more importantly, it is straightforward.

More than half of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers. That does not happen by accident. It happens because we do not cut corners and we do not hide fees.

The people who move your belongings are not day laborers pulled from an app. They are partner crews with real skin in the game. They own or rent their trucks and are paid on the job, which means they show up motivated and they take care of your things. Compare that to how other Tampa movers staff their crews. We hold an A rating at the Better Business Bureau and carry a five-star average on Google.

When you call us for a moving quote, you will get one honest hourly rate quoted before booking. That rate covers everything needed to complete your move. There is nothing added on moving day.

To be specific: there are no elevator fees, no last-minute fees, no truck fees, no fuel fees, no travel fees, no long-walk fees, no stair fees, no credit card fees. One rate. That is it. It is one of the reasons people call us the best Tampa movers in the area.

That hourly rate includes:

  • Professional full time movers
  • Moving truck
  • 36 moving blankets
  • Shrink wrap to protect furniture and home
  • Tape
  • Sixty cent per pound moving insurance
  • Fuel
  • Office travel time
  • Tools
  • Two wheel dolly
  • Four wheel dolly
  • Shoulder dolly
  • Includes tax

One thing worth understanding about that sixty-cent-per-pound coverage listed above: that is Florida’s default carrier liability, and it is not the same as full-value protection. A 50-pound television worth $800 would be covered for $30 under that default. We explain the difference between basic liability and full-value protection before your move, not after something gets damaged. That conversation matters.

On moving day, our crew arrives on time, gets to work immediately, and blankets and shrink-wraps all large furniture before anything leaves the house. That is not optional. If we cannot do it right, we do not want to do it at all. We disassemble and reassemble furniture, place it where you want it, and if you need something repositioned ten times, we will move it ten times. We work at your pace and we treat your home and your family with respect.

When it comes to Tampa movers, Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has no equal.

Frequently Asked Questions

It means Florida's default carrier liability pays based on weight, not value. A 50-pound flat-screen TV worth $800 would be covered for about $30 if it were damaged. That gap can be significant, and we want you to understand it before moving day, not after.

We explain valuation options when you book so you can decide what level of protection makes sense for your situation. No surprises on move day is the whole point of telling you this upfront.

You get one rate that covers the crew, the truck, blankets, shrink wrap, tape, dollies, tools, fuel, and office travel time. We quote that rate before you book, and it does not change because you have stairs or a long hallway or pay with a card.

The only variable is time: how long your specific move takes. A two-bedroom apartment in Riverview and a four-bedroom house in St. Petersburg are different jobs, and we size the crew and truck accordingly when we give you your quote.

Our movers are partner crews, not day laborers pulled from an app the morning of your move. They own or rent their trucks and are paid based on the job, which means they have a real stake in doing the work well. They are drug tested and background checked before they ever set foot in a customer's home.

That structure matters in Tampa Bay, where some moving companies staff up with whoever is available that week. We think consistency in who shows up is a big part of what makes a move go smoothly.

People refer movers when nothing went wrong that they were not warned about ahead of time. Damage happens in moving; what makes customers angry is finding out about a fee or a liability limit after the fact. We try to have the uncomfortable conversations before the truck arrives.

A referral in the Tampa Bay area usually comes with a specific story, like a friend saying the crew wrapped every piece of furniture without being asked, or that the quote matched the final bill. That specificity is what we are going for.

It is realistic within reason. If you need a couch repositioned a few times while you figure out the layout of a new St. Petersburg living room, we are not going to stand there with our arms crossed. You are paying hourly, so that time is accounted for honestly.

What it really means is that we are not rushing you out the door the moment the last box is off the truck. The job is done when your furniture is where you want it, not when it is technically inside the house.
