Town ‘n’ Country fills the corridor west of the Veterans Expressway, a community where rented units stack three floors high off Hillsborough Avenue and Memorial Highway, and where quieter blocks of single-story slab homes sit close to the airport and the Courtney Campbell Causeway. At B and G Movers we have been loading and driving Tampa Bay relocations since 2015, when Brett Donovan and Greg Hayes put their first truck on the road. Our W-2 crew handles the whole job here, from the wrap at your door to the last box set down at the next one.
What a Town ‘n’ Country move asks of our crew
The defining challenge across this part of west Tampa is vertical: garden-apartment buildings rise to a third floor with no elevator, so a sofa or a fridge travels up and down an exterior stairwell by hand. Brett and Greg staff these jobs with enough movers to keep the carry safe and the clock honest. We also work inside the leasing rules every complex here keeps, which means we confirm your assigned move window with the office and sort out where the truck can sit before the morning runs.
- Stairwell strategy: for third-floor walk-ups we add crew and pad the rail corners so heavy pieces clear the turns without scuffing the building or your furniture.
- Leasing-office coordination: we call ahead to lock your reserved move slot and reserved parking, so the truck is not turned away from a fire lane on arrival.
- Storm-aware scheduling: with afternoon thunderstorms almost a daily event in summer, we start at first light and keep loads under cover when the sky turns.
- Slab-home flow: in the older single-story streets near the airport, everything carries on one level, and we map a clear path from front door to tailgate.
Pricing your Town ‘n’ Country job
✓ 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
You can book hourly or take a flat figure, whichever reads cleaner for your place. Two movers run $125/hr, three $170/hr, and four $215/hr. A walk-up with a long stair carry usually wants the larger team. Pianos move too: an upright runs $285 to $460, a baby grand $480 to $840. If the next address is not ready, our climate-controlled storage holds your load at roughly $110 to $260 a month depending on the unit.
| Town ‘n’ Country household | Flat estimate |
|---|---|
| Studio in a third-floor walk-up off Hillsborough Ave | $420–$660 |
| Two-bedroom garden apartment near Memorial Highway | $1,080–$1,780 |
| Three-bedroom single-story home near the airport | $1,780–$2,900 |
How we protect what we carry
Coverage and your protection options
Every load our trucks haul rides under $1M in cargo coverage. By default each shipment is set at $0.60 per pound released value, and for an added 1 to 3 percent of the move you can upgrade to full-value protection, which puts every item at replacement worth. If anything goes wrong, you have a nine-month window to bring a claim to us.
B and G Movers also runs the long lanes out of Tampa Bay, and the same crew that empties your Town ‘n’ Country place is the one that unloads at the far end: Orlando up I-4, Miami and Jacksonville on I-75, Atlanta on the same road north into Georgia. Nothing is handed to an outside driver along the way. Tell us your dates and we will hold a quote. Call [bc_phone].
