Alpha Movers

One Honest Number, Locked In — Pickup to Doorstep

A move across Pinellas County turns stressful only when an unproven crew is wrestling your sofa down a stairwell in the August heat. Pick the date that suits you, our St. Pete crew arrives inside that window, pads and wraps every piece, and gets you set up in the new place while the rest of your day stays yours.

How it works

From your first message to the last box set down, it comes down to three steps

1

Tell us your move

Send the short form or call the office and reach a real person on the first try. To begin we need just three things — both ZIP codes, your moving date, and the size of your home. It costs nothing, there is nothing to sign, and no string of follow-up calls comes chasing you afterward.

2

One written rate reaches your inbox and stands for the entire job

Inside the business hour you have a firm written number, with no hourly clock and no surprise line items appearing later. Whatever goes on paper is exactly what holds on move day, with nothing quietly inching upward behind the scenes. If your building office needs a Certificate of Insurance, we send one to your property that same day.

3

When our crew rolls up, the whole day is ours to run

Our movers show up in company shirts on a truck stocked with pads, dollies, floor runners, and tools, and every one cleared a background check and drug screen before we put them on a crew. The packing, the load-out, the drive, the carry-in, and setting every room back up are entirely ours. The rest of your week stays yours.

Our services

Tell us what kind of move you have ahead

Walk us through the job and our crew takes it from there. A fourth-floor walk-up studio, a five-bedroom waterfront house, a quick hop across the neighborhood, or a long interstate haul — Alpha Movers brings the trucks, the gear, and the road miles to handle any the Tampa Bay area (Pinellas County) job.

Dean Markos — 14 years helping St. Petersburg families move

“I got tired of watching neighbors get quoted one price over the phone and billed another at the curb, so I built a crew that puts the flat rate in writing first”

Grew up off 22nd Avenue North in St. Pete and spent summers hauling for a marina supply outfit in Gulfport. These days Dean still turns up in person on most jobs, which keeps the pricing honest and means the movers at your door are the ones we trained ourselves.

What Customers Say About Alpha Movers

Excellent 5 out of 5 stars 28 reviews
Brandon K.
Brandon K. Old Northeast · 3-bed house
★★★★★

Easiest move we have had in twenty years in Pinellas. Dean walked the house off 4th Street, quoted one flat number, and that is exactly what we paid. Crew showed up at 7am ahead of the afternoon storms, wrapped everything, and never once blocked the neighbor's drive.

Shannon M. Kenwood · downtown high-rise condo
★★★★★

Booked them for a downtown high-rise and they already knew the freight elevator rules at our building. Reserved the window, brought the COI before I even asked, done by lunch.

Gabriela D. Snell Isle · 2-bed bungalow
★★★★★

Honestly nervous about moving a 1920s bungalow full of heavy oak, but these guys stair-crawled all of it out of Kenwood without a scratch on the doorframes.

Logan T.
Logan T. Shore Acres · waterfront condo
★★★★★

We close on a Snell Isle place and a waterfront condo the same week and Alpha handled both. One crew, one price, no drama.

Whitney R.
Whitney R. Crescent Lake · snowbird seasonal condo
★★★★★

Snowbirds here. They packed up the condo for the season, stored it climate-controlled, and brought it all back in November exactly like we left it. Will use them every year.

Daniela P.
Daniela P. Downtown St. Pete · studio apartment
★★★★★

Quick studio move from Grand Central to Largo. Two movers, ninety minutes, flat rate held. Nothing fancy needed and nothing went sideways.

Shane W.
Shane W. Grand Central District · 4-bed Snell Isle house
★★★★★

Four bedrooms in Snell Isle is a lot and they sent a full crew that knew what they were doing. The flat rate did not budge even though we underestimated the garage.

Monica S.
Monica S. Gulfport · beach condo
★★★★☆

Beach condo on St. Pete Beach with a brutal elevator situation. They were 35 minutes late getting through the bridge traffic, called ahead to tell me, then made up the time. No complaints.

FAQs

Straight numbers up front, with no booking required to see them

Do you run your own trucks and crews, or pass jobs along?
Yes — Alpha Movers is a licensed, fully insured moving company based in St. Petersburg, FL, holding along with and. We own the trucks, our uniformed movers are W-2 on our own payroll, and every job is ours start to finish.
Ballpark, what does an in-town St. Petersburg move run?
For local jobs a two-mover crew starts at $125/hour, with the truck, blankets, and every tool we bring already folded into that rate. Plan on 2–4 hours for a typical 1–2 bedroom apartment and 4–6 hours for the average 3-bedroom house. Want a set number instead? After we tour the place or run a quick video walkthrough, the flat rate goes in writing.
How far ahead should I lock in my date?
Saturdays and Sundays book up first around Pinellas County, and the snowbird stretch from winter into spring stays busy, so aim to hold a weekend slot 2–3 weeks out. Pick a weekday or skip the peak season and a few days of notice is usually plenty. When a crew is open on a quieter date, even a same-day or short-notice booking slots right in.
Are there moves you would turn down?
We take local the Tampa Bay area (Pinellas County) jobs, moves across Florida, and long-distance runs from St. Petersburg to anywhere in the country. Awkward pieces are no trouble either — upright and baby grand pianos, gun safes, and fragile antiques. And we do far more than carry boxes: full packing, short-term storage, and patient downsizing help for older clients.
Are you insured?
Yes. $1M in cargo liability backs every job we run, with base released-value protection set at $0.60 per pound. Full Value Protection is an optional add-on, roughly 1–3% of the value you declare. Our crews are also covered by our bond, general liability, and workers’ comp. Any condo board or HOA that needs a Certificate of Insurance has one back the same day.
Do I have to be on-site the whole time?
Having you there at both ends is ideal, but if work keeps you away, just name someone you trust to stand in. Present or not, the crew logs every item before it goes on the truck and checks that same list at delivery.
Plans shifted — is there a fee to move or cancel the date?
Cancel with 48 hours notice and you owe nothing. Moving to a different date is free as long as a crew is open that day. Since weekends fill quickly, reaching out early gives us the best shot at fitting you in.
What payment methods do you accept?
Pay however suits you: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, debit, certified check, or cash. A small refundable deposit holds your date and credits against the balance. Payment comes due at delivery and not a moment sooner, once you have inspected the load and signed off.
Something of mine gets scratched — what then?
Base released-value coverage at $0.60 per pound comes with every job at no cost. Spot any damage? Flag it to the crew lead right away. We note it on the inventory sheet on the spot and open the claim immediately, and most wrap up within the 9-month claim window in a matter of days. Moving something especially valuable? Full Value Protection can be added for a fee.
