Best Westshore, FL Moving Company
Westshore is Tampa’s largest business district, sitting on the west side of the City of Tampa next to Tampa International Airport and Old Tampa Bay. Most people know it for the office buildings along Westshore Boulevard, International Plaza and Bay Street, and WestShore Plaza. Plenty of people live here too, in mid-rise and high-rise apartment and condo buildings and in small pockets of single-family streets like Westshore Palms. Many are new to Tampa, moving in for a job at one of the nearby offices, and some are here for just a year or two before buying a home.
Apartment and condo moves in Westshore come with rules. Many buildings want an elevator reservation, a set loading dock time, and a certificate of insurance before movers can start. Send us your building’s move-in packet and we will handle the paperwork, pad the elevator, and protect the hallways. The district also has more than 11 million square feet of office space, so we do a lot of office and commercial moves here, often in the evening or on weekends. We label every desk, chair and box by room so your team can find everything on Monday morning.
Traffic is the other big factor. Interstate 275, the Howard Frankland Bridge, the Courtney Campbell Causeway, Kennedy Boulevard and Dale Mabry Highway all meet in or near Westshore, and rush hour backs them up fast. Tampa Bay Buccaneers home games at Raymond James Stadium add even more cars on Dale Mabry. We plan start times around all of it, and in summer we like early starts before the afternoon storms roll in. If your building has a short loading dock window, we send enough movers to finish on time.
Life here is easy for people who work nearby or fly often. The airport is minutes away, Cypress Point Park has a small bayfront beach, and places like Whiskey Joe’s on Rocky Point and La Teresita on Columbus Drive are local favorites. Our Tampa crew works Westshore every week, from studio apartments to full office floors. We also help people moving to Westshore from out of state, and people leaving it for a house in the suburbs.
Moving just down the road? We also serve Beach Park and North Bon Air, plus the rest of Tampa and Hillsborough County. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat your things like they are our own. 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 Westshore: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Westshore. Here’s what we plan around.
Ask about building pickup
The City’s S.W.E.E.P. bulky program covers single-family homes and properties of four units or less, so residents of larger condo or apartment buildings should check disposal rules with their management before move day.
Book city bulky pickup
This area is inside Tampa city limits, so the City collects furniture, mattresses and appliances. Call the Utilities Call Center at (813) 274-8811 to request special services.
Plan around office traffic
Westshore holds more than 11 million square feet of office space and nearly 100,000 employees. Tell us your building’s loading and elevator rules so we can time the move around weekday peaks.
Know the Veterans tolls
The Veterans Expressway starts at I-275 south of the airport and has used all-electronic, cashless tolling since 2014, so drivers need a SunPass or are billed by Toll-By-Plate.
Use county hazardous-waste sites
Tampa residents can drop off household hazardous waste and electronics at Hillsborough County sites at no additional charge by bringing a state-issued photo ID with a Hillsborough County address.
What Shapes Your Westshore 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
Apartment, condo and office buildings often require elevator reservations, loading dock times and a certificate of insurance, and rush-hour traffic on I-275, Kennedy Boulevard and Westshore Boulevard can add time.
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
