Emptying a Full St. Pete House and Setting It Back Up
A house is a different animal from an apartment. There’s a Florida room packed with patio furniture, a garage holding a decade of bins and beach gear, an exterior stair or a raised entry in the flood zones, and the heirloom pieces that have to arrive without a scratch. Keeping that whole sprawl under control comes down to one thing: Alpha Movers is a licensed Florida intrastate company with its own trucks and its own payroll crews, so the people blanketing your china answer for it all the way to the new counter, and no contractor you’ve never met turns up at noon to take over. Dean started doing this in 2012 and still walks these jobs himself.
Included in the Service
- Wrapping, loading, transport and unloading, worked through one room at a time
- TVs, art, mirrors and furniture blanket-wrapped and braced for the trip
- Bed frames and oversized pieces taken apart, then reassembled at the new home
- Door-jamb guards and floor runners at the origin and destination alike
- Boxes and furniture carried to whichever room you’ve labeled for them
Running the Day
Your crew chief tours both homes before a single lift and sets the load order. We fill the truck from the back rooms forward toward the tailgate, which lines the unload up roughly with how you’ll want to tackle the new place. That reverses on arrival: beds go up first, then boxes head to their labeled rooms instead of stacking at the entry. When a storm builds in the afternoon, we tarp the ramp and tailgate and time the carries between bands so nothing sits out in the rain. For a downtown or beach high-rise, the freight elevator is reserved and the building’s certificate of insurance is on file before the date.
Past the Standard House Move
Boxing your cabinets isn’t in the base service unless you add packing, and gas lines and hardwired fixtures stay untouched. We’ll set the washer and dryer in place, but connecting the water and gas at the finish belongs to a licensed technician.
Pricing
Flat pricing runs $880 to $1,500 for a two-bedroom and $1,500 to $2,600 for a three-bedroom; a four-bedroom lands at $2,400 to $3,900 after a quick walkthrough. Prefer to watch the clock instead of a fixed number? Hourly runs $125/hr for two movers, $175/hr for three, with a two-hour minimum.
