Military Movers in Santa Rosa Who Plan for Petaluma Base Housing

Coast Guard Training Center Petaluma has 127 family housing units, and some have narrow stairways with several turns that a one-piece king box spring will not pass. Our Santa Rosa military movers measure for that before move day, so the bed you bring fits the house you are assigned, and oversized pieces get flagged at the survey, not on the stairs.

We move Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard households across Santa Rosa, Sonoma County and the Santa Rosa-Petaluma area, including orders to Travis AFB and Beale AFB. Mentors Moving & Storage completes more than 1,200 moves a year company-wide.

Four Things We Do on Every PCS Move

Survey With Orders

Report date and housing status noted first

Oversize Check

Box springs and sofas measured for stairs

Uniform Boxes

Duty items packed and marked on their own

Storage Option

Held until housing or a lease comes through
Military Move Costs

Cost of a Santa Rosa Military Move

On many PCS moves the government covers the cost, and officials may ask for a written estimate so they know what to pay. Costs grow with the distance, the amount you move and the number of movers needed, and moves overseas cost more than moves within the United States. These allowances help pay for a move.

Allowance
What it helps cover
When it applies
Dislocation Allowance (DLA)
A flat amount toward moving costs
Usually once per PCS move
MALT
Mileage when you drive to the new station
When you or your family drive
Per Diem
Meals and lodging while you travel
Travel days between stations

Other allowances may apply: Move-In Housing Allowance (MIHA) and Advance Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA) on moves overseas, Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) and Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE) for temporary housing, plus Advance Basic Pay and Advance BAH, which your Commanding Officer approves. Keep a copy of our written estimate for your file.

Four Kinds of Coast Guard and Service Moves We Plan

How each one runs with our Santa Rosa office.

Empty room after Mentors movers finished loading
01

Into Base Housing

TRACEN Petaluma has duplex, 4-plex and 8-plex homes with 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms. We plan the load for the unit you are assigned and suggest a split box spring when the stairs turn.

02

Off-Base Rentals

Housing assignment at TRACEN Petaluma is mandatory, and you need a signed release (DD-1747) before renting or buying off base. We hold the delivery date open until the release comes through.

03

PCS and Combination Moves

A PCS move follows orders to a new duty station. In a combination move, the government moves part of the household and our movers handle the rest, in state or out.

04

Summer Report Dates

The Coast Guard names 15 May through 31 August as household goods peak season. Call as soon as orders arrive so we can hold your packing and loading days.

Weight Tickets for a Coast Guard PPM

If you move yourself under a personally procured move, ALCOAST 138/24 says you can receive an incentive of 100 percent of the government’s constructed expense, up to your weight allowance. Ask your transportation office how hired movers fit your PPM before you book. Empty and full weight tickets must show your name and employee ID, name the vehicle, say empty or full, and be dated on or after your orders. We plan the route so our truck can stop at a certified scale empty and full.

What Long Haul Customers Say About Our Santa Rosa Movers

Rated 5 out of 5

We used Mentors for packing, loading, storage, delivery, and unloading for our move from central California to central Oregon. Mentors — J.R. was our contact throughout — provided clear accurate communication about what would happen and when, and responded quickly to all questions. The workers — Thomas, Eli, Gorge, Arturo, Johnny, and Juventino for packing and loading, and Brandon and Eric for delivery and unloading — were efficient, friendly, and flexible. Every time we asked if they would or could do something they unhesitantly said yes, and figured out a way to do it. They were a pleasure to work with. They were a huge help to us for getting through the complications and stress of moving. We’re still unpacking but so far have found no damage.

I’m using Mentors Moving & Storage to move from California to Utah. They are very organized, provided great communication and the customer service is outstanding. The gentlemen that packed and loaded my things were friendly, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Mentors Moving and Storage. This is a follow up review. Mentors Moving & Storage completed my move to Utah in mid-August. Everything arrived as expected with nothing damaged. Two different gentlemen unloaded my things and they performed the same friendly, courteous and professional service. And I want to give a shout out to JR who worked with me to get my delivery scheduled. I highly recommend this team for your moving and storage needs. I give them another 5 STARS!

Moving is harder than ever when there are no new homes avialablee. Storage was a must and two moves, in and out. Sounds like a nightmare that turned into a dream. What a great team effort. Julia was so kind and comforting on the phone. Braydon gave a top notch estimate. Anthony led a great team: Yoni, Jose’, Jorge, Alfonso, Engique got the job done in record time taking up less time and space than expected. Never thought that moving could be so painless! Thanks one and all. One more leg to go.
