Our office on North 53rd Street sits a short drive from East Lake, Del Rio, and Orient Park, so our East Lake-Orient Park movers know the 1950s ranch streets, the Fairgrounds traffic on US-301, and the quickest way onto I-4. We plan every move around the actual house, not a generic Tampa checklist.

A crew that starts the day a few miles away, not across the bay.
Our trucks load out from North 53rd Street, so a move in East Lake, Del Rio, or Orient Park starts with a few minutes of driving instead of an hour on the interstate. That short trip is part of why we can often fit in short-notice jobs, and the same goes for moves next door in Temple Terrace.
The Florida State Fairgrounds sits on US-301, with entrances off Orient Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and event traffic backs up all three. We check the Fairgrounds calendar against your date and time the load around I-4 Exits 5 and 7, including moves heading east toward Mango.
We walk through the home or unit first, count the garage, shed, and attic, and put the estimate in writing. It is the same process our moving company in Tampa uses across Hillsborough County, so move day does not come with surprise charges.
Every service we run in Tampa, scheduled from an office a few miles away.
Moves inside East Lake-Orient Park, or from Del Rio to a new place across the river, are short hauls billed by the hour. We plan the route so the truck avoids Fairgrounds backups and gets onto I-4 or US-301 at the right exit, whether you stay local or head into Ybor City.
Many homes here are single-story ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s, with carports, sheds, and packed attics. Our residential movers count those spaces during the walkthrough so the crew and truck fit the whole house, not just the rooms you see first.
Apartment and townhome communities around the area come with assigned parking, office-set move hours, and second-floor stairs. We confirm the rules with management before move day and bring enough hands to keep the stair carry moving.
We pack full homes or just the kitchen and fragile rooms, using sturdy boxes and plastic bins for anything that should not sit in damp cardboard during a Tampa summer. Packing can happen the day before, so loading day stays short.
Renting your own truck? Our labor-only crews load and unload anywhere in East Lake-Orient Park, from a Del Rio ranch to a shop off Broadway. You handle the driving, and we handle the heavy pieces and the stacking.
When a closing slips or a lease ends early, we hold your belongings in our climate-controlled, monitored facility and deliver when you are ready, with the same crew that loaded the truck.
Leaving Hillsborough County? The I-4 and I-75 interchange is minutes away, and our long distance movers price by weight and distance, with a written inventory and an agreed delivery window before the truck is loaded.
A 1950s ranch in East Lake Park and a shop off Broadway need different crews, trucks, and timing. Pick the kind of place you are moving out of or into to see what the job usually involves.
Common in East Lake Park, a 1950s subdivision built around East Lake, and in Del Rio, which filled in through the 1950s and 1960s.
Walk the garage, shed, and attic with us during the estimate so the truck and crew fit the whole house. Our residential movers take apart and rebuild beds and large pieces on site, the same way we handle similar homes next door in Temple Terrace.
Mixed in among the older streets, with management offices, assigned parking, and posted move hours.
Ask the office for its move rules and truck parking spot as soon as you sign, then send them to us. Our apartment movers staff stair carries with an extra set of hands so the job stays inside the allowed window.
We move the furniture and household contents, not the home itself.
Book your date with a backup day during hurricane season, June through November, since Zone A is the first to evacuate. If the timing gets tight, our storage solutions hold your belongings in a climate-controlled facility until the new place is ready.
Common along Broadway, Orient Road, and US-301, where the area's rail and freight corridor runs.
Tell us which items have to be running first at the new space and we will load them last. If you already have a box truck, our labor-only crews load it for you. The same rail-and-industrial edge continues south into Palm River-Clair Mel, where we plan business moves the same way.
Three communities and two busy corridors, each with its own loading plan.
A 1950s subdivision of about 325 homes built around East Lake, also called Bellows Lake. Driveways usually fit the truck. The surprise is almost always what is stored in the garage.
A 1950s and 1960s suburb between the Hillsborough River and 56th Street, with streets named for fish, like Bass Street. Mature trees and cars parked along the curb decide where the truck can stop, so we look at the street during the estimate.
South of East Lake, between Uceta Yard and the Tampa Bypass Canal. Homes sit close to freight routes, so we plan around rail crossings and truck traffic on Broadway.
The Florida State Fairgrounds, MidFlorida Amphitheater, and TECO Arena share one campus on US-301. Event nights fill Orient Road and MLK Boulevard, so we keep move times away from gate hours.
Warehouses, shops, and offices along Broadway and Orient Road usually need after-hours or weekend moves. We work around your business hours and stage inventory in storage if the new space is not ready.
Newer communities mixed in with the older streets set their own move hours and parking rules. We get those from the management office before we book the truck.
We also move households next door in Temple Terrace, Mango, Ybor City, Sulphur Springs, Seminole Heights, Palm River-Clair Mel, University Area, Thonotosassa and Brandon.

Unveiling Efficiency: Our Step-by-Step Approach to Exceptional Service
Fair season, month-end rushes, and summer storms all change how a move here runs. Enter your date to see what to plan around before you book.
| When | What happens | How we plan for it |
|---|---|---|
| Early to mid February | The Florida State Fair runs for about 12 days at the Fairgrounds on US-301. The 2026 fair ran February 5 to 16. | We check the fair calendar and set arrival times away from gate traffic on US-301, Orient Road, and MLK Boulevard. |
| Month-end and the 1st | Leases turn over and closings stack up, so trucks and crews book first. | Book two to three weeks ahead, or pick a mid-month weekday for more open times. |
| Weekends | Saturdays usually fill first. | A Tuesday to Thursday date usually gives you the widest choice of start times. |
| May to September | Heat that builds by midday and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. | Early starts, contingency time, and floor protection when afternoon rain moves through. |
| August | Student move-in and move-out around USF tightens trucks and crews across north Tampa. | Reserve early if your date falls in the second half of the month. |
| June 1 to November 30 | Atlantic hurricane season, with the busiest stretch from mid-August to mid-October. | Hold a backup date and check your evacuation zone at HCFL.gov/HEAT. |

That depends on the mover. At Skyway Moving & Storage, we have experience in moving fragile items, including artwork.
Know that some items might not be best transported by movers. This includes pets and plants. Also, at the destination, have a good idea of where you want all the boxes and furniture placed before the movers arrive. This helps make the move more efficient and effective.
Tipping your movers is not required, but it is always appreciated.
