Olympia Is the Best Moving Company in Tampa, Volume 1

Why Olympia? Let’s Get Into It.

I know—it’s a bold statement. But calling ourselves the best moving company in Tampa is something we can back up with real proof. After all, if you’re going to make extraordinary claims, you’d better have the extraordinary evidence to match.

It’s tough to pick just one reason why Olympia stands out—which is exactly why this is Volume 1. There’s a lot to say, but in this post, I’ll do my best to explain what sets us apart. You’ll see what makes Olympia the best moving company in Tampa, a trusted partner for customers and a company our team is proud to be part of.

Especially in a city like Tampa, where a quick Google search brings up movers of every size and style, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming.

Hopefully, this helps make that decision a little easier.

Elite People, Elite Moves

Let’s start with the people. Because that’s where everything begins at Olympia.

I’ve always believed that great service comes from great people, and Olympia has that in abundance. As the Marketing Manager, I’ve worked with folks across every department: movers, sales, operations, leadership. And I can honestly say this team is stacked with talent, professionalism, and a real drive to do good work.

That’s no accident. Olympia’s hiring process is one of the most selective I’ve ever seen. Personally, I went through multiple interviews, a personality assessment, and even a high-level marketing assignment just to get this role. When I got the call from Piet offering me the job, it felt like I had truly earned it. I’m living proof of our mantra: we don’t just hire anyone.

And it’s not just the office team. Our movers are held to the same standard. We know we’re walking into people’s homes and businesses during major life moments. That means our crews aren’t just strong—they’re trained, background-checked, and expected to show up with professionalism, care, and pride. Because muscle alone doesn’t cut it here.

A Whole Lotta Residential Services

When I first joined Olympia, I assumed moving was just about transporting belongings. And sure, that’s part of it—but through my work in marketing, I quickly realized how wide-ranging our services really are. We don’t just move boxes. We manage entire transitions, whether they’re local, long-distance, international, or even commercial.

That realization led to one of my favorite campaigns: “Yes, we do that.” It was all about showing the Tampa community the services you don’t typically associate with a moving company. Things like junk removal, senior-specific moving support, home staging help, TV and art installations—and my personal favorite to witness—grand piano relocations. No matter the size, scope, or complexity, we’ve got the team and tools to get it done right. You name it, we’ve moved it. And we’ve done it well.

Here’s a quick look at just some of the residential services we offer in Tampa:

• Local and long-distance moving

• Full-service and partial packing

• Custom crating for antiques, fine art, and fragile items

• Unpacking and home setup

• Short- and long-term storage options

• Furniture disassembly and reassembly

• Senior move management and downsizing support

• Piano and specialty item relocations

• TV, mirror, and artwork installation

• Junk removal and post-move cleanout services

Told you—it’s a lot.

Commercial Success

Now let’s talk commercial. That’s a whole different ballgame.

Commercial moves aren’t just larger—they’re more complex. Olympia approaches them as full-scale projects requiring high-level coordination and execution. Each job gets a dedicated project manager certified by IOMI, who oversees everything from the initial planning to the final walkthrough. And it’s not just the managers—every crew member at Olympia is IOMI certified. That training equips our teams to handle logistics-heavy relocations with serious care and efficiency.

One of the first Commercial  projects I witnessed was a laboratory move to Tufts University. Think: sensitive, high-value lab equipment packed and transported with surgical precision. You don’t always associate “precision” with moving, but after seeing that? You should. These weren’t just any lab items! We were handling Biological Safety Cabinets, the kind used to safely study microorganisms and viruses. Watching our crew in action showed me just how technical and impressive this work can really be.

And hey, I hate to drop a pun here, but… dare I say Olympia has commercial moves down to a science? ha!

Another commercial project that stands out was a children’s sensory room installation. Olympia handled every detail, from setting up interactive sensory stations to laying down specialized flooring. The finished space will support thousands of kids for years to come. To me, it went far beyond a typical move. It was a powerful reminder that our work isn’t just about moving things, it’s about creating spaces that help move future generations forward.

Speaking of moving forward…

Let’s talk about the Special Olympics. I had a front-row seat to one of the most inspiring and complex event logistics projects Olympia takes on each year. Picture hundreds of athletes arriving in what felt like an endless wave of buses, with mountains of gear needing to be delivered to dorms across campus—all carefully coordinated. It was a massive undertaking—and one of the most memorable projects I’ve witnessed.

That same level of planning, care, and execution goes into all our Tampa commercial relocations. Here’s a snapshot of what we do:

• Office Moving

• Warehousing

• Installation

• Liquidation

• FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment)

• Logistics & Facilities Support

• Event Logistics

• Recycling & Green Services

• Disconnect/Reconnect Services

• Restoration & Recovery

• Project Management

• Specialty Relocations (labs, hotels, schools, etc.)

• Packing & Crating

• Short- & Long-Term Storage

Black Trucks, Green Moves

Now, I wouldn’t call myself a full-blown tree hugger, but I’ve definitely got some tree-hugging tendencies. And I appreciate that Olympia does, too.

It’s not always a dealbreaker, but it’s a big plus when the company you work for takes environmental responsibility seriously. Olympia isn’t just dabbling in sustainability—it’s built into how we operate.

Here’s how we’re making our moves greener:

• Recycling & Waste Diversion: We keep tons of cardboard, plastic wrap, furniture, and e-waste out of landfills.

• Fuel-Efficient Fleet: Our GPS-tracked trucks are optimized to reduce emissions and eliminate unnecessary idling.

• Reusable Moving Crates: Especially in commercial moves, we use reusable crates to cut down on single-use packaging.

• Paperless Systems: From billing to inventory, we’ve gone digital to reduce paper waste.

• Donation & Reuse Programs: We help clients donate unwanted items through local nonprofit partnerships.

Olympia is making real, measurable progress toward sustainability—because moving people forward shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.

At the End of the Day…

Olympia isn’t just a moving company—we’re a group of people who genuinely care about doing things the right way. Whether it’s a cross-country move, a complex commercial project, or just getting you settled into a new place across town, we show up with professionalism, attention to detail, and pride in our work.

We hire carefully, train seriously, and take every job personally. A lot of companies in Tampa can move your stuff, but not many do it like we do. If you’re looking for a moving partner—or even a place to work—you won’t find another Olympia. And I truly mean that.
