Best Clair-Mel City, FL Moving Company
Clair-Mel City is a small unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, about seven miles east-southeast of downtown Tampa in the 33619 ZIP code. The Census counts it together with its neighbor as Palm River-Clair Mel. Clair-Mel sits between Palm River to the west, Tampa city limits to the north, the Selmon Expressway to the east, and Progress Village to the south, with Causeway Boulevard (State Road 676) running through the area. It is a working neighborhood with a mix of homeowners, young families, and renters, and people here tend to move short distances.
Homes here are mostly single-family houses on regular lots, plus some duplexes and small apartment buildings. That usually means easy loading from a driveway. What can slow a move down is traffic. Causeway Boulevard, 78th Street, and Palm River Road carry a lot of cars and trucks headed to the port area and the interstates, so we time our trips to miss the worst of rush hour and keep your crew on the clock for moving, not sitting in traffic. We also ask about gates, fences, and where the truck can park so there are no surprises when we pull up.
Our Tampa moving crew is close by, which makes Clair-Mel an easy place for us to fit in short-notice jobs. We handle apartment moves, full-house moves, and furniture-only jobs. If your closing dates do not line up, our storage service can hold your things until the new place is ready, so you are not stuck paying for two leases. When the day comes, we deliver and set up your furniture in the rooms where you want it.
Florida weather is part of every plan. In summer, storms often build in the afternoon, so we like early starts, covered carts, and floor runners at every door. Parks like Winston Park and Palm River Park, quick access to the Selmon Expressway and I-75, and a short drive to Ybor City and downtown are why many families move within the neighborhood instead of leaving it. Short moves like that are often done in half a day, and we are happy to take them.
We also serve nearby Progress Village, Brandon, and Palm River. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers treats every Clair-Mel City move like we are moving our own family. 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!”

“We had a wonderful experience with the team at A&M movers. The office was easy to communicate with as they handle inquiries by both phone and text. The crew at our move today was very professional and efficient. They were very careful with our belongings and meticulously wrapped all of our furniture. Highly recommend this team for your move!”

Moving in Clair-Mel City: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Clair-Mel City. Here’s what we plan around.
Book bulky pickup first
Clair-Mel City 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.
Causeway has no I-75 ramp
Causeway Boulevard climbs a long bridge over I-75 just south of the Selmon Expressway interchange but has no access to either road. We plan the route in and out before moving day.
Look up your evacuation zone
Hillsborough County’s Hurricane Evacuation Assessment Tool (HEAT) shows whether a Clair-Mel address falls in one of the county’s five evacuation zones, A through E. The county’s evacuation map changed significantly in 2022, so your zone may be new. Check your new address before hurricane season.
Drop off hazardous leftovers
Movers can’t haul chemicals, so take paint, oil, and batteries to a county collection site such as South County at 13000 U.S. Highway 41 in Gibsonton, open on select Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What Shapes Your Clair-Mel City 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
Homes are mostly single-family with driveway parking, but truck and rush-hour traffic on Causeway Boulevard, 78th Street, and Palm River Road plus summer storms can affect move time.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
