Florida closings rarely land on the day you need them to. A FishHawk or Westchase builder pushes your walkthrough back, an HOA sits on your move-in approval, or a transfer pulls you across the state before the new place is ready to take you. When that gap opens, B and G Movers keeps everything you own under one roof until the day you can take it back.
How a hold with B and G actually works
This is one continuous job, not a rented bay you load by yourself on a Saturday. Brett and Greg send the same W-2 crew that empties your house to our own monitored depot off Westshore, where every piece gets logged on arrival and tracked by name. When your date firms up, that crew loads back up and redelivers. You deal with our movers start to finish, never a stranger and never a key code to a bare cell on the far side of town.
Why the air matters in Tampa
✓ 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
A tin box in June is a slow-cook oven
Leave a wood dresser or a leather sofa in an uncooled metal unit through a Tampa Bay summer and the humidity does the damage the heat starts. From June into November the wet stretch warps drawers, leaves upholstery clammy, and clouds framed prints and screens. Our depot holds a steady temperature and a controlled humidity level all year, so what comes out looks like what went in.

What it costs and how long you can stay
Conditioned storage with us runs about $110 to $260 a month, and the number tracks the size of the unit your load actually fills, not a one-size quote. A few boxes between a Brandon sale and your next address sit at the low end. A whole four-bedroom waiting out a Wesley Chapel build sits higher. Some Riverview holds last a single weekend, others run six months while a transfer sorts itself out. No inflated minimum, and you owe nothing extra for asking for your things back early.
What a storage hold includes
- The whole house emptied by our own uniformed Tampa crew, never day-labor
- Pads and stretch wrap on every cushioned piece before it leaves your door
- A numbered inventory taken the day your load reaches the depot
- Climate and humidity held steady through hurricane season and the wet months
- A monitored building, not a row of open public lockers
- The same crew bringing it all back to your Lutz, Brandon, or Tampa address
