Best Progress Village, FL Moving Company
Progress Village is an unincorporated community in south-central Hillsborough County, about nine miles southeast of downtown Tampa. It was planned as one of the area’s first suburbs for working families outside the city limits, and today it is a close-knit neighborhood of single-family homes between 78th Street and I-75. Our Tampa moving crew works here often, so we know the streets and the quickest ways in and out.
Most homes in Progress Village are single-family houses on their own lots, many of them one story, with driveways where a truck can back in close to the door. That keeps loading simple. The things that slow a move here are usually tight side streets with cars parked on both sides and school traffic near the schools on the south edge of the community. We plan our arrival times around those rush periods so your crew is working, not waiting. If your street is crowded, just let us know ahead of time and we can bring a smaller truck or plan a short carry.
A lot of families here are moving up, moving closer to work, or helping a parent downsize from a home they have owned for years. We can handle the full job or just the heavy pieces. Our packing and unpacking service is a big help when a house holds decades of dishes, photos, and keepsakes, and we wrap furniture and mattresses so nothing gets scuffed on the way out. We also take apart beds, tables, and bunk beds, and put them back together in your new home.
Summer weather matters on moving day. Afternoon thunderstorms roll in fast in Hillsborough County, so we like to start early, keep boxes covered between the house and the truck, and lay floor protection at every door. Progress Village Park on Progress Boulevard, quick access to I-75 and the Selmon Expressway, and short drives to Brandon and downtown Tampa are a few reasons people choose to stay in the area when they move. Many of our Progress Village jobs are simply a few streets over, and those short local moves can often be done in a single morning.
We also move families to and from nearby neighborhoods like Riverview, Gibsonton, and Palm River every week. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers treats every Progress Village 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!”

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 Progress Village: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Progress Village. Here’s what we plan around.
Book bulky pickup first
Progress Village 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.
No I-75 ramp on Progress
Progress Boulevard crosses a bridge over I-75 into Riverview but has no interstate access. Progress Boulevard ends at US 301, which has I-75 access north of that intersection, so we plan truck routes around it.
Look up your evacuation zone
Hillsborough County’s Hurricane Evacuation Assessment Tool (HEAT) shows whether a Progress Village address falls in one of the county’s five evacuation zones, A through E. Check your new address before hurricane season.
Drop off hazardous leftovers
Movers can’t haul chemicals, so take paint, oil, and batteries to the South County collection site at 13000 U.S. Highway 41 in Gibsonton, open on select Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring a state-issued photo ID with a Hillsborough County address.
What Shapes Your Progress Village 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
Most moves are into single-family homes with driveways, but street parking on narrow side streets, school traffic, and summer afternoon storms can affect timing.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
