St. Pete Rates That Follow the Building, Not the Mileage
Two homes a mile apart on the peninsula can mean two completely different mornings for our crew. One is a Kenwood bungalow with a driveway and a flat walk to the door. The other is a Saltaire unit downtown where the loading dock is booked by the half hour and the freight elevator won’t open without a certificate on file. A mileage figure tells you none of that, so we price off what your home holds and what it actually takes to reach the door. Everything that shows up belongs to Alpha Movers, the trucks and the people both. Our crew members are W-2 employees on Dean’s payroll, not day-labor staffed out for the morning, so the same hands that pad your dresser in St. Pete carry it up the stairs in Gulfport.
What Counts as a Local Move
Stay inside Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area and the job stays local: St. Petersburg itself, plus Gulfport, South Pasadena, Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, Pinellas Park, Largo, Seminole and Clearwater. Downtown high-rise insurance certificates, beach-building elevator windows, Old Northeast stoops and brick-street parking, none of it slows us down, because our crew runs these addresses week in and week out. When an afternoon storm rolls in off the Gulf, we tarp the ramp and the open tailgate so a sudden downpour never reaches your boxes.
Standard on Every Job, Whatever the Door Looks Like
- Pads and stretch wrap go onto each piece while it still sits in place, before any lift
- Runners cover the walking path through both homes; jambs and corners are capped at each end
- Beds, tables and shelving come apart at the old place and go back together at the new one
- Loose hardware is bagged and labeled to its piece so nothing wanders off mid-move
- One binding flat-rate quote in writing, with a numbered inventory standing behind it
Two Ways to Pay
We tell you which one makes sense before you sign. The flat bands run $380 to $560 for a studio, $560 to $880 for a one-bedroom, $880 to $1,500 for a two-bedroom and $1,500 to $2,600 for a three-bedroom. For a light load or a quick hop across town, hourly often wins: $125/hr for two movers with a two-hour minimum. We point you to whichever number is smaller.
A Couple of Honest Caveats
Hourly leaves the kitchen unpacked unless you add a pack-out. And while our crew will roll the washer into its slot, capping the water and gas lines is licensed-technician work and off-limits to the team.
