Why Bradenton Families Choose Our Local Moving Crew

A Written Estimate You Can Hold Us To

Before you sign anything, we explain your estimate options in plain words. You choose the one that fits your move. Then it goes in writing. No guessing and no "we'll see on the day."

Full-Time Movers, Never Day Labor

Every person who walks into your home works for us full-time. They wear our uniform. We never pick up temporary workers to fill a truck. Our team has over 55 years of combined moving experience. That means people who know how to take a sofa through a tight doorway, protect a dining table and load a truck so nothing shifts on the drive.

Our Own Trucks and Equipment

We own everything we bring to your move. Clean trucks. Proper furniture pads. Our own dollies and straps. Nothing is rented and nothing is borrowed. When a company owns its gear, it takes care of it, and that care shows up in how your things arrive.

Fully Licensed and Insured

We carry full licensing and insurance. Do not just take our word for it. You can verify any mover's US DOT and motor carrier number at fmcsa.dot.gov before you book.

Flexible Scheduling, Including Stop-Over Service

Your move does not always go from Point A to Point B. Maybe you need to grab furniture from a storage unit or a parent's house on the way. Our stop-over service lets us collect items from a second location along the route. We also work with you on scheduling, so you can ask about a time slot that fits your day and the weather.

No Hidden Fees

We do not add surprise charges for stairs, long carries, fuel or extra time. The costs you see on your estimate are the costs we talked about. If you have a third-floor walk-up or a long path from the door to the truck, tell us up front and we will build it into your written estimate.

Commercial & Office Moving

Moving a business is a logistics problem before it is a lifting problem. We handle everything from an internal office reshuffle to a full corporate relocation, including specialty item delivery and the reconfiguration of furniture and cubicles. Our Bradenton and Sarasota crews are trained to work in hotels, retail stores, professional offices, educational facilities and design showrooms, and to work around your schedule so your downtime stays short.

 

Residential Moving

Moving is stressful. Handing it to a professional moving and storage company is how it stops being stressful. We offer a full line of in-home moving and packing services, and we are equally at home with a move across Bradenton and a cross-country relocation. Our movers are professional, trained, uniformed, permanent staff members, including professionally trained packers who specialize in high-value furnishings.

We have happy clients.

I had a wonderful experience with David McCarthy Moving Company for my move today! William and Brent were absolutely fantastic. They were professional, friendly, efficient, and extremely careful with all of my belongings. They took their time to make sure my furniture and other items were properly protected and handled everything with care from start to finish.

Moving can be stressful, but William and Brent made the entire process feel organized and easy. They worked efficiently without ever making me feel like they were rushing, and they were very respectful of both my belongings and my new home. Everything arrived safely and was placed exactly where I wanted it.

I truly appreciate their attention to detail, positive attitudes, and hard work. I would definitely recommend David McCarthy Moving Company, and especially William and Brent, to anyone looking for reliable and professional movers. Thank you for making my moving day such a great experience!

We have relocated many times for work over the years, and this was hands down the best moving experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, efficient, and incredibly careful with our belongings.

Moving can be stressful, especially for a long-distance relocation, but they made the entire process feel seamless. The crew arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the move, and treated our furniture and boxes as if they were their own. Not a single item was damaged, and they worked hard while maintaining a positive attitude the entire day.
What impressed us most was their attention to detail, customer service, and genuine care. It’s rare to find a company that exceeds expectations at every step, but they absolutely did.

If you’re looking for a moving company you can trust, I cannot recommend them highly enough. After many corporate relocations, this was truly the smoothest and most professional move we’ve ever experienced. Thank you for making our transition to our new home stress-free!

Dave and his team did a great job. It went as smoothly as we could have hoped. They were on time and all business, both on loading all our stuff and delivery. I'd recommend Dave any time.

Long-distance moving

Mr. David moved us from Bradenton, FL to Cary, NC. David and his team were exceptionally fast, very efficient, and super organized. His team showed up on time and within no time, they packed up our stuff. The movers showed up on time at the delivery and reassembled everything very quickly. Everything went smoothly from start to finish.

Absolutely not. Transparent pricing is one of the things we're most proud of. From the moment we give you an estimate, you'll know exactly what you're paying for.
