Best Bloomingdale, FL Moving Company
Bloomingdale is a quiet, established community in east Hillsborough County, tucked between Brandon, Valrico, FishHawk, and the Alafia River. It is one of the oldest names in the area, with a school founded here in 1884, and it grew into a bedroom community for Tampa starting in the 1960s. The Alafia forms its southern edge, and the Bell Shoals rapids are right here. Our Tampa crew moves families along Bloomingdale Avenue, Bell Shoals Road, and Lithia Pinecrest Road all year long.
Bloomingdale is made up of about 32 neighborhoods, and roughly half of them have a mandatory HOA with deed restrictions. If yours does, it may have rules on truck parking, move hours, and storage containers. Other streets have no HOA at all. Either way, we look at your street before moving day and plan where the truck will park so we are not blocking driveways, mailboxes, or the neighbor’s lawn. If you are selling, we can also work around showings and your closing day walk-through.
Most homes here are single-family houses on good-size lots, many with mature oak trees, pools, and two-car garages. Big trees and low branches can limit where a large truck fits, so we size the truck to the street. We protect wood floors, tile, and door frames in every home. Many homeowners have lived here for years, and the median age is about 42, so we pack a lot of full households, garages, sheds, and attics filled with years of family life.
Families like Bloomingdale for Bloomingdale High School, the regional library, the parks, and quick trips to Brandon for shopping. The Bloomingdale Regional Public Library is a favorite stop for new families getting to know the area. Downsizing moves are common too, as longtime owners move to smaller homes nearby. We offer full packing and unpacking along with furniture disassembly and setup. In summer we start early to beat the heat, keep an eye on afternoon storms, and plan around school traffic on Bloomingdale Avenue and Bell Shoals Road. Lithia Springs is just across the river for a cool swim once the boxes are in.
We also serve nearby Brandon, Valrico, and FishHawk, so a move a few miles in any direction is easy to plan with one crew. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers treats every Bloomingdale move like we are helping our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 813-544-0048 for a free quote.

“Excellent experience! We have moved 11 times and once overseas and A&M is in the top two moves! They communicate well and there are no curveballs. Chris, Zack & “Ox” were hard working, courteous and professional. They moved us quickly and took great care with our property. When initially speaking with Matt, he realized I was a Veteran and he immediately offered a Veteran’s discount. I would highly recommend A&M Friendly Movers because they live their name!”

Moving in Bloomingdale: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Bloomingdale. Here’s what we plan around.
Book bulky pickup first
Bloomingdale is unincorporated, so Hillsborough County handles trash. Call Solid Waste Customer Service at (813) 272-5680 to schedule a special pickup for sofas, mattresses, or appliances before you set anything at the curb.
Flatten boxes, watch curb times
The county counts 20 cardboard boxes as one bulky item, and carts and yard waste can go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 6 a.m. on collection day.
Give us your mailing city
Bloomingdale is served by two ZIP codes: 33511, addressed to Brandon, and 33596, addressed to Valrico. Give us the full street address so the crew goes to the right place.
Plan Bloomingdale Avenue trips
Bloomingdale Avenue (County Road 676A) runs along the Brandon–Bloomingdale border, with a divided section near Bloomingdale Square and Bell Shoals Road. We time truck runs around the busy stretches.
Check the flood zone
The Alafia River forms Bloomingdale’s southern border and floods moderately to heavily about twice a year. Hillsborough County’s FEMA Effective Flood Zone Viewer shows a property’s flood zone, and homes in A or V zones with a federally backed mortgage must carry flood insurance.
What Shapes Your Bloomingdale Move Cost
No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.
Home Size
How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
Distance
Across town, across Hillsborough County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Mostly single-story and two-story homes on quiet streets, but HOA deed restrictions, low oak branches and afternoon traffic on Bloomingdale Avenue can affect timing.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
