Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has earned a 5.0 Google rating, a Better Business Bureau A rating, and the Angie's List Super Service Award two years running, an honor fewer than 5 percent of moving companies receive. Every move is backed by a two million dollar commercial liability policy, with hourly pricing that includes no hidden fees.

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has earned a 5.0 rating on Google and an A rating from the Better Business Bureau, along with a 4.5 rating on Yelp. We have also won the Angie’s List Super Service Award for two consecutive years. According to Angie Hicks, the founder of Angie’s List, only 5 percent of moving companies ever receive that award. We are not going to oversell what those ratings mean, but we do think they reflect something real: when people have a good experience, they say so, and when they do not, they say that too. Our reputation is built on what actually happens on moving day, not on marketing copy.

What services do we offer?

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa

We handle residential moves, office moves, and long-distance moves. We also offer packing and unpacking, piano moving, loading and unloading, and car hauling. Every move is covered under our $2,000,000 commercial liability policy. We also take care to protect the walls, doors, ceilings, and floors of your home while furniture is being moved out. If you need storage, we work with local trusted storage companies and can coordinate that as part of your move.

How does our pricing actually work?

Local moves are priced by the hour. Before you book, we give you a realistic quote that includes the crew, the truck, fuel, taxes, and travel time. There are no hidden fees added later. We quote on the higher side on purpose, because a lower number that grows on moving day is worse than an honest number upfront. Consultations and estimates are free. Call us at (813) 505-2560 and we will walk you through what your move is likely to cost before you commit to anything.

Who actually shows up to move your things?

Our movers are partner crews, not day labor pulled from an app. They own or rent their trucks and are paid on the job, which means they have a real stake in how the work goes. Every person we bring on goes through a thorough background check and training before they ever touch a customer’s belongings. Your furniture is handled carefully and transported safely. That is not a promise we make lightly.

Why do customers keep coming back?

We rely mainly on word of mouth. When a move goes well, people tell their neighbors, their coworkers, their family members. We follow up with customers after the move is finished because their feedback is how we stay honest with ourselves. Moving is not simple, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we can control is how clearly we communicate, how carefully we work, and whether we show up on time. Those three things drive most of what people say about us.

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa serves Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, Sarasota, Hernando, and Polk counties. We have been doing this since 2010, with locations in Tampa, Riverview, and St. Petersburg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not automatically, and this is worth understanding before moving day. The $2 million figure is commercial liability coverage, which protects against things like property damage to your home during the move. Your actual belongings are a separate matter governed by carrier liability, and Florida's default is 60 cents per pound per item. A broken 40-pound TV would net you about $24 under that standard.

Before we book your move, we walk through valuation options with you so you can decide what level of protection makes sense. We would rather have that conversation now than after something goes wrong.

For local moves in the Tampa Bay area, we quote one hourly rate that covers the crew and the truck. Travel time appears as a single plain line on your estimate, not buried in fine print. Fuel is not added as a surprise charge at the end. The number we give you before booking is the number you should expect to pay, and we deliberately quote on the higher side so you are not caught off guard.

If anything about your situation changes, such as a longer drive or additional stops, we tell you before we start, not after the truck is unloaded.

The crews who show up are partner crews, not day labor pulled from an app. They own or rent their trucks and are paid based on the job, which means they have a real stake in doing the work carefully. That structure is different from companies that staff up with whoever is available that morning and have no ongoing relationship with the people handling your furniture.

We have been operating out of Riverview since 2010 and have completed more than 25,000 moves in that time. The crews we work with reflect that track record.

A piano can weigh anywhere from 300 to over 1,000 pounds depending on the type, and the weight is distributed unevenly. Upright pianos are top-heavy in a way that makes stairwells and tight hallways genuinely dangerous without the right equipment and enough people who know what they are doing. Dropping or tipping a piano does not just damage the instrument; it can damage floors, walls, and anyone nearby.

We treat piano moves as their own category because the handling requirements are specific. If you have a grand piano or an older upright, mention it when you call so we can plan accordingly.

For local moves, travel is included as one line in your estimate rather than calculated as a separate per-mile charge after the fact. The farther the crew has to drive to reach you or to get between locations, the more that travel line reflects, but it is disclosed upfront. There are no fuel surcharges added at the end of the job.

If your move crosses into long-distance territory, pricing shifts to a different model based on inventory, distance, and dates. We use our own trucks and crews for those moves rather than handing your job to a broker.
