Lutz sits in the leafy stretch of north Hillsborough that bleeds across the county line into Pasco, hugging US-41 on one side and the Suncoast Parkway on the other. You’ll find oaks dripping with moss over lakefront acreage, fenced horse properties with barns set back from the road, and a wave of newer gated subdivisions filling in near Sunlake and along Van Dyke Road. Brett and Greg started B and G Movers in 2015, two Tampa Bay guys who grew up around here, and our trucks roll out of Tampa with our own W-2 crew aboard. Whoever wraps your dining set in Lutz is who carries it off the truck at the other end.
Why a Lutz address asks more of a moving crew
Half the work on a Lutz job happens before anyone lifts a box. A property might sit a quarter mile off the pavement down a packed-shell or dirt drive, the kind a 26-foot truck can’t always reach without a plan, so we scout the approach and bring a shuttle when the lane is too soft or too narrow. The two-county geography matters too: a pickup in a 33558 gated community near Sunlake and a drop on a Pasco-side parcel are billed on one estimate, with the gate code and any community move window squared away by our office days out. Slab-on-grade homes here mean ground-floor loading in most cases, though the horse-country builds run wide and full, so we read each house and staff it to fit rather than guessing.
- Walk the driveway first. We confirm whether a full truck can reach the door or whether a long acreage lane needs a shuttle run, and that answer goes in the quote, not on the invoice afterward.
- Clear the gates and the county line. For Sunlake and Van Dyke subdivisions we lock the gate code and any HOA slot ahead of time, and a job that crosses the Hillsborough-Pasco border stays on one written number.
- Match the crew to the home. A two-bedroom near 33549 and a sprawling lakefront house off US-41 need a different headcount and different gear, so we size the team and the truck to the actual place.
- Start ahead of the storms. Summers here hit the 90s with thunderstorms most afternoons, so we roll early to load in the dry hours, and through hurricane season we keep one eye on the forecast.
What a Lutz move runs
✓ Our own trucks, staffed by movers on the B and G Movers payroll
- Call and Brett, Greg or someone else at our Westshore office answers in person, never a rented call floor
- The total on the written estimate is what you pay at the door — no move-day surcharge bolted on, no padded line items slid into the invoice.
- One B and G Movers crew packs, loads and unloads the whole way through
- Every load carries $1M of coverage, and any certificate of insurance your HOA or high-rise requires goes out the same day
- If something goes sideways, Brett and Greg handle the claim themselves, and it stays inside our Westshore office
× Broker chain
- Run those same details through a broker and they ricochet around a call floor before getting sold to whoever bids lowest.
- Unexpected “extras” added to the invoice the second the truck arrives
- An unfamiliar truck shows up carrying a crew of strangers
- The certificate of insurance and the building paperwork land on you to track down
- Broken items waved off with a “that was not our subcontractor” excuse
Most homes out here fit a flat range: a studio lands at $420 to $660, a one-bedroom $660 to $1,080, a two-bedroom $1,080 to $1,780, a three-bedroom $1,780 to $2,900, and a four-bedroom $2,850 to $4,500. Prefer the clock instead? Two movers go for $125/hr, three for $170/hr, and a four-person team for $215/hr. Got a piano in the great room? An upright is $285 to $460 and a baby grand $480 to $840. If your closing dates don’t line up, a climate-controlled unit holds your things at roughly $110 to $260 a month away from the Florida humidity.
How your shipment is protected
Every load we haul rides under $1 million in cargo coverage. By default your goods are covered at $0.60 per pound under released value, and if you’d rather have your items valued at full replacement, full-value protection adds an optional 1 to 3 percent. Should anything go wrong, the law gives you a nine-month window to file a claim with us.
Leaving Lutz for somewhere farther off? We keep those long lanes on our own equipment, Orlando up I-4, Miami down I-75, Jacksonville on I-75 and I-10, and Atlanta straight up I-75 into Georgia. The movers who load your house in Lutz are the same ones unloading it on the far side, no handoff to anyone. Call Brett and Greg at [bc_phone] and we’ll map your move.
