We do full service moves, including all dis-assembly and re-assembly of furniture, and packing or unpacking of boxes if needed. We show up prepared to take care of everything.
Our crew will take care of all your items and move them professionally and quickly to your new location. You are the boss on move day, you can add work or change your mind on things, we are there to do as much, or as little as you want! We have continued to improve our service over the years, Offering Consignment service and free boxes have been our latest upgrades.
In 2016 we purchased our 23rd truck, and in 2017 we expanded our sister company Consignment House into a 14,000 square foot warehouse.

We won't leave you hanging, Since 1990 we have made every scheduled move!

We believe in the philosophy that if you treat people the way you want to be treated, it will come back to you. In 1991 we grew to 2 trucks, in 1992 we had 3 trucks, and at the end of 1995 we were running 6 trucks. By 2008-2009 the great recession started to affect our business, we were running 10 trucks full time and had 20 guys on our crew.
Our main goal, if you use our company, is that when we are done you will tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers about us and use us the next time you have the occasion to use a mover. Pack flatware by placing one plate in the center of your packing paper. Grasp about 2 sheets of paper at one corner, pull over to completely cover plate, stack 2nd plate on first plate, grasp 2nd corner of your paper, pull over and cover stacked plate.
Have your garage sales and estate sales, and after all that if you still have items left on move day, send it back to Consignment House!. Help cut down the cost of your move by selling us your used furniture, antiques and any other items you don't want to take with you. Just let us know before your move what items you would like to consign and we will load them on our truck and bring them to our shop to sell for you.
The quickest way to get an estimate from us is to call during office hours and we will take 5 - 10 minutes of your time to work up an estimate over the phone. This will take a few minutes to fill out, and we can only base our estimate on the information that you submit. The more itemized of a list we can get, the more accurate of an estimate we're going to give.

Short Moves Inc. was a pleasure to work with from the very first call with George Burns.
Ive hired movers in the past, but this move was by far the least stressful and best. Larry and John were professional, efficient, organized, careful, cordial, and very effective.
It was a hot day here in Florida during the move, yet no complaints from Larrry and John as they navigated 3 flights of stairs per load.
Towards the end of the move I opted to consign a credenza. BONUS: ask them about Consignment House, Inc.
Excellent experience. Thank you greatly!

John and Larry moved a super heavy, long couch for us. They were courteous and right on time. They knew exactly how to get it out of a narrow winding doorway and hall. I would highly recommend Short Moves. We will use them for any future moves.

Short Moves, Inc. did a fantastic job with our recent move! I’ve gone through several moves and something always goes wrong, whether it’s broken furniture or the movers going way out of the quoted time, causing it to be more expensive. Larry and Ray were so friendly, wrapped everything securely, and were quick and efficient, even when having to lift heavy furniture up and down stairs. I can’t speak highly enough of these guys and highly recommend your next move be with Short Moves, Inc!

So satisfied with the service provided by Short Moves. Paul clearly explained all pricing when I called to set an appointment. They confirmed the day before and arrived in the given time frame. Will and Mo were very professional, listened to what I needed done, and set about working efficiently and carefully. I was moving a bedroom set from downstairs to upstairs and removing the upstairs bedroom set. I was also removing a dining table and chairs and a very large TV cabinet (not actually moving furniture outside of the home). It was not easy getting that heavy furniture upstairs and through the

First time using Short Moves, but it was a great experience. They arrived on time, loaded, and moved us with speed and care. They had no trouble accommodating an additional last minute stop off at a Storage unit when we realized we didn't have enough room in our new place for everything. I would highly recommend Short Moves for anyone moving locally!

Without Jarrett, Mo and Will our move from St Pete would have been a lot more hectic than it was. These 3 are top notch! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, professional, reliable team. They certainly know how to get the job done the easiest way.
