Courtney, Demetrice and Little bro Steve best moving crew around. I can't say enough good things about them. I had 2 moving companies cancelled on me. Woody's sent this 3 man crew and they knocked a 26 ft truck packed in 2 hours. They are the best around. Call them when you need ur move handle professionally. I recommend asking for Demetrice crew if you want your move handle correctly.
I have known Sarah Jones for 30+ years. I was horrified to not see my review. You have moved me 6 times. I always tipped the guys, drinks. And one time my check didn't go thru and I contacted her and had her run my Credit Card. I would have rather paid the 35.00$ to my bank than let Sarah not get paid. If your not using Woddys your moving 2nd rate. I assure that that is a fact.
Amazing , Fast, Friendly and so careful with my chair!!! Do not hesitate to use these movers!!! Extremely polite and friendly on the phone and in person❤️ I had a very large sofa to move from a friends house to an upstairs apartment they came out same day!!

Woody & Sons did an incredible job. Demetrius and Eric were Friendly and professional. They moved my items and reassembled the bed quickly and easily. They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them!
I’ve used Woody and Sons twice for moving. Price is reasonable, service is good, guys were careful and courteous (forgot their names). Would use again.
Great, Group of guys was fast efficient and incredibly nice. Very careful with everything they’ve done. Would recommend this company to anybody.
Demetrius and crew did a great job moving one safe from Pinellas County to Manatee County and bringing one back. They were on time, courteous and ensured all was accomplished in the most efficient way. The pricing was reasonable and it was a flawless move. I would hire them again.
Wonderful service! They were on time, very careful with all items, and did a great job moving everything out of my father’s home and into his new apartment. Highly recommend them!

Great service! Punctual and patient.

I used this company to move my son. They were great!
I have used Woody & Sons when I moved out after the hurricane. They quick, friendly and professional. It was a difficult time and they made the move very smooth. They just moved me back in two weeks ago and it was just as smooth and easy. Best pricing you will find for movers in Tampa!
Hard workers, timely, and courteous. I really appreciated their service.
Let’s just say I wouldn’t hire any other company for a move ever again. We had a very difficult move unexpectedly. These guys worked so hard and we appreciate them. If you’re looking for movers with reasonable prices and a hardworking crew then this is your place.
Rick and Thevon(apologies on the spelling) did my move today. They were on time. The overall price was fair. The guys were awesome. Moving can be stressful and they kept me laughing. They were careful with my things and they were great with loading and unloading. And they were QUICK. Finished sooner than I estimated and I’m thankful for that. I will definitely use Woody and Sons again for a future move.
Woody & Sons did a fantastic job for my move in March. They were on time, efficient, and courteous. I would definitely use them again.

Woody’s Moving …Showed up on timeHe was pleasant and engagingHe was careful with the itemsHe was efficientAnd went the extra mile to help us both on site and at my propertyI will most certainly recommend him and use him in the futureDebra
David and Mark did a fantastic job! They arrived exactly on time, wrapped all of our furniture, very professionally and loaded it up in a very timely manner. They did everything we asked them to do as they unloaded and located everything in the proper places. They were conscientious of their time and kept it within the budgeted timeframe.I highly recommend Woody and Sons moving without hesitation!-Tammy Criollo.
I engaged the services of Woody and Sons Moving Company for a partial move involving only a few furniture pieces. The team demonstrated exceptional care in handling my belongings, treating them with utmost respect as if they were their own property. I would confidently recommend this company to any prospective client seeking quality service delivery. Fair pricing was yet another added advantage that sealed the deal! Five stars... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommended.read more
I cannot say enough GOOD things about these movers! We've moved cross country multiple times and these have been the best movers. They showed up early, re-packed things that our long distance movers didn't do right, super efficient and friendly. We will be calling them back for our next move.
Woody and sons did a good job with my small move. They didn't break, mangle or lose anything, unlike another mover I used years ago. You've got to be careful, especially with interstate movers, who sometimes impound your stuff.I'd use Woody's again.
Woody & Sons Tampa Movers made our move stress-free. Their team was professional, efficient, and handled our belongings with care. The service was reasonably priced, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Highly recommend these Tampa movers!
I am extremely pleased with the service I got from Woody and Son during a recent move from Tampa to Plant City. This guys were very professional, organize and efficient throughout the whole phase of the move. One of the guys name, the older gentlemen, I believed his name was Lance, very courteous. What I'm also very pleased with is the fact that I had to change the date at the last moment and David was still able to accommodate the move. If you need a moving company this is the go to company.... Thanks David, Lance and Woody and Sons.read more
Can't say enough good things about these guys - we were in a bind when our other mover couldn't move a large gun safe - these guys came in under a time crunch and got the safe moved - customer service was amazing as well - always spoke with a real person that was motivated to help out. I'd give ten stars if I could.
Laquez, Pedro & Mike did a fantastic job overall. Great work ethic and took care with our belongings. On the other hand, David on the phone could work on his attitude.
4/5/23 Our move was from Hillsborough County Florida to Martin County Florida. Lance and Donte were our Woody and Sons Team. They were fast, energetic and professional-friendly and nice-from beginning to end Woody and Sons made our day! Thanks Lance and Donte - it was a pleasure working with you and Woody and Sons!
The moving process with this company was simply flawless. If I could add more stars, I certainly would.The gentlemen who helped me were great, they went above and beyond and I am more than grateful for that.I will book again 🤗
Great movers very fast and very professional I highly recommend using this company you won't regret it.
Quick, efficient, and helpful.
Great job
They were very professional and even arrived early.Only a few things were broken but it is not the end of the world. I will be using them again in my next move.
On time, very professional, took great care with our furniture and very reasonably priced. Thank you!!
This was our second move using Woody and Sons. The team could not have been more polite and professional - we had a very frustrating situation with the new apartment, and our movers were patient and incredibly kind in a situation where they could have easily been frustrated or rude. They are incredibly fast and move everything with great care - hands down the best movers in Tampa!

With its year-round sunshine, diverse neighborhoods, and proximity to the Gulf Coast, Tampa Bay offers a quality of life that keeps people rooted here long after they arrive.
Tampa Bay offers extensive outdoor options. The Tampa Riverwalk stretches 2.4 miles along the Hillsborough River, connecting downtown parks, restaurants, and waterfront venues. Lettuce Lake Park draws nature lovers with canoeing and a wildlife boardwalk tower, while Flatwoods Conservation Park offers an expansive trail network for cyclists and runners. Ybor City anchors the arts and culture scene with galleries, studios, and historic venues hosting community events year-round.
Tampa Bay has become one of Florida’s strongest food cities. New restaurants, bars, breweries, and food trucks have continued to emerge across the region, building on a dining scene with real momentum. The SoHo district along South Howard Avenue is the go-to for nightlife. Homegrown breweries like Cigar City and Coppertail have built loyal followings across the metro area.
The median sale price in Tampa Bay has held around $412,000 for nearly two years, reflecting a market that has rebalanced after the explosive growth of 2020 to 2023. That figure sits about 20% below the Northeast U.S. median, making the area a desirable destination for out-of-state movers.
Tampa’s overall cost of living is about 3% below the national average, with housing about 8% lower and healthcare about 9% lower than the U.S. norm. Florida’s lack of a state income tax adds further appeal, particularly for residents relocating from higher-tax states.

There are several qualities to look for when choosing the best local movers in the Tampa Bay Area. The customer service needs to be exceptional. The cost of the service must be competitive and fair amongst the competition. Moving companies have to employ hard-working employees. Customer Sarah Juers reflected these traits in Woody & Sons Moving Services: “Our contact, Sarah, was in constant communication and provided assistance when needed. They are a strong team, which makes the already challenging experience of moving a little easier. Cost was fair, and we never felt as if there was time that was not dedicated to work”.
Absolutely. Our crews wrap and protect all furniture before it ever leaves your home, handling every piece as if it were irreplaceable. As our customer Daniel Barrero said, “David and Mark did a fantastic job! They arrived exactly on time, wrapped all of our furniture, very professionally and loaded it up in a very timely manner”. We also help with furniture assembly at your new home. Woody Sons & Moving makes sure everything is set up exactly where you want it before we leave.
Yes, and it’s something professional Tampa Bay movers handle regularly. Condos come with their own logistical challenges with elevator reservations, parking restrictions, and building move-in policies. As repeat customer Robert Depaulo noted, “I have used Woody and Sons twice, the first time when we moved from our Palm Harbor home and the second when we moved from our Clearwater condo. I do have to say that the crew and management at Woody’s are fabulous”.
Woody and Sons understands that hurricane-related moves come with stress that goes well beyond the logistics. As one Tampa Bay customer, Victoria Auger shared after experiencing exactly that situation, “I have used Woody & Sons when I moved out after the hurricane. They were quick, friendly and professional. It was a difficult time, and they made the move very smooth.” From emergency relocations to move-back-in days, we’ll make sure the moving part is the least of your worries.
You do not need to tip your moving crew, but if you do, it is appreciated. We pay our movers for the time they spend on your job. If you can’t tip, leaving a positive review and complimenting movers by name so they receive recognition goes a long way. That means just as much to us as a cash tip. If you would like to leave a monetary tip, a general rule of thumb is $4 to $5 per hour per mover, or between 5% and 10% of the total move cost. Cash handed directly to each crew member is the most straightforward approach.
For a local Tampa Bay move, we recommend booking at least four to six weeks in advance. During peak season, local movers book up quickly. Tampa Bay’s busy season runs May through September, so if your move falls in that window, reach out to Woody and Sons early to lock in your preferred date and crew.
