Rock's Moving Company
Rock's Moving Company is a moving and storage company at 5530 Haines Rd N in St. Petersburg, Florida, serving Pinellas and Hillsborough counties as a blanket wrap carrier. The company was established in 1998 and built on the principles it sums up as Rock Solid Men and Rock Solid Service. Most jobs are local moves within the two counties, and the crew will move a household anywhere in Florida as long as one end of the move is in the Tampa Bay area. Alongside moving, Rock's offers packing services at the same hourly rate as the move itself, bringing a variety of boxes and packing supplies to the home and billing for whatever materials are used plus the time. Customers who want to keep the cost down are encouraged to pack as much as they can themselves. Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes come four to a truck at no charge. For customers heading into storage, the company works with X Marks the Spot Portable Storage and loads the portable unit right at the house instead of running a load, drive, unload, and repack cycle, which it says cuts the price of a move into storage in half. Rock's carries full replacement value insurance at no extra charge rather than the cents per pound coverage it says most companies offer, holds a $25,000 bond, and carries workers compensation with a certificate available to view. Pricing is hourly for both moving and packing, estimates are free by phone at (727) 579-0214 or through the estimate form on the site, and the company recommends booking a few weeks ahead because certain days fill up quickly near the end of the month.

FAQs
What areas does Rock's Moving Company serve?
The company serves Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, and the majority of its moves fall within those two counties. It can also move customers anywhere within Florida as long as one end of the move is in the Tampa Bay area. Areas named on the site include Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater.
How much does a move cost?
Rock's charges by the hour, so the better prepared a customer is the faster the move goes. You can call or fill out the estimate form on the site to get an idea of your move cost. Packing is billed at the same hourly rate as moving, plus the cost of whatever materials are used.
How far in advance should a move be booked?
The company suggests booking a few weeks in advance, because the availability window for certain days fills up quickly, especially around the end of each month. It does get cancellations, so a same day spot occasionally opens up.
Does Rock's Moving pack for you?
Yes. The movers are trained to pack small items into boxes and will bring a variety of boxes and packing supplies to the home. Customers who want to save money generally do all or most of their own packing, since having the crew do all of it normally doubles the price of the move. On homes of three or more bedrooms the crew usually needs to come out the day before to pack.
How does the storage service work?
Rock's works with X Marks the Spot Portable Storage. The crew brings the storage unit to the house, loads it right there, and the customer locks it with a padlock. The units are 16 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall, and one unit typically fits the contents of a two bedroom condo. There is a one month minimum rental charge even for a few days of use.
What insurance does Rock's Moving carry?
The company offers full replacement value insurance at no extra charge instead of cents per pound coverage, holds a $25,000 bond, and carries workers compensation. Its insurance certificate and its contract terms and conditions are both published on the site for customers to review before move day.
Can Rock's Moving handle a corporate relocation or office move?
Yes, the company can handle the moving part of corporate and relocation projects anywhere in the Tampa area, including office moves. It does not provide junk removal.
How do wardrobe boxes work?
Wardrobe boxes are 2 feet wide and 4 feet high with a bar across the top for hanging clothes, and normally hold 3 or 4 feet of closet contents each. Four wardrobes ride on every truck and those four are free to use. Additional wardrobes are $5 each to bring out, so let the office know ahead of time if you need more than four.
