On moving day your hot tub, safe or pool table leaves its spot along a route we have already measured, with extra movers booked if the weight calls for it. That planning is most of the work for specialty movers in Santa Rosa, and it begins when you send photos, rough dimensions and both addresses.
Mentors Moving & Storage has moved households since 2019. The office that quotes your job also books the movers, the truck and the date, so one call settles the plan.
We bill specialty jobs in Santa Rosa by the hour for the movers and the truck, at the rates in this table. A single safe moved across town is priced the same way as a full household.
Four things set the hours: the weight of the piece, the steps and turns between it and the truck, the ground at both homes, and how long it takes to pad art or antique wood. Hillside lots and gravel paths add time, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Each local job carries a 3-hour minimum plus billed drive time. Pads, straps, dollies and furniture wrap come with the hourly rate. Specialty equipment, when a piece needs it, is quoted as its own line, and fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation coverage and storage are billed separately.
Not every heavy piece makes the trip. Recology Sonoma Marin, the city’s garbage and recycling hauler, gives Santa Rosa residential customers 2 free bulky item pickups a year, each up to 3 cubic yards. The hauler will not take any single item larger than 4 by 4 by 2 feet, apart from a few listed exceptions.
A hot tub shell, a slate pool table or a full gym machine can easily pass that limit, so decide early what goes to the new house and what needs a separate haul-away. We quote only the pieces that are moving, which keeps your hours down.
If you want a worry-free moving experience, use Mentor’s Moving and Storage! We reached out to Mentor’s Moving and Storage for help moving household and other large items (golf cart, electric bikes, grill, etc) from California to Tennessee. Based on our experience with them, we would highly recommend! From our initial contact with Keith, communication with Zach, the men who loaded the truck, Bert and Luis, and our driver, Juan, who safely delivered our items—all went very smoothly. Communication was excellent. Every person was friendly, efficient and very respectful of and careful with our belongings. They arrived on time to load and on time to unload. All of our items arrived with no damage. Mentor’s Moving also partnered with a local company in Tennessee to help unload. Flacco and Osmar from Tennessee Movers were awesome, too!
We had a great moving experience with Arturo & Brandon from Mentors. They were friendly, hard workers, and moved the more fragile and larger furniture with great care. They packed the truck extremely efficiently. Great guys, thanks again!
Top notch service from beginning to end..and I was not an easy customer. Well, I, myself am pretty nice, but the move itself had some challenges. I had a couple of unusually heavy pieces, but Maurice and Marc handled things like the champs that they are.They packed the truck carefully, quickly and thoroughly. It was a 160 mile drive and 106 degrees at out destination city. Unfortunately, I don’t yet have a refrigerator at the new place, so I couldn’t offer refreshment, but my new neighbors stepped up and gave us each a cold bottle of water. The team unloaded and put things in place for me. I noticed that Marc efficiently folded each moving blanket and put them nicely in a pile after unwrapping the pieces. Very organized and efficient. Maurice shared stories of his life and family and because we each grew up in neighboring cities I greatly appreciated the walk down memory lane. After the move, when I spoke with J.R. to finalize everything I learned that the name Mentors refers to the mission of orienting and mentoring Foster Kids for life once they leave the system. That is huge in my book! Although I didn’t know this at the time of hiring them, A company which is dedicated to taking care of one another, especially those most vulnerable gets my vote and my dollars. I don’t want to move again for a very long, long time, but if I do I will definitely try to books these guys again. Thank you Mentors team for caring! CZ

Every mover we send has passed a background check and finished our 160-hour training program before their first specialty job. We use quality pads, crates and packing materials for fragile pieces, adapt the handling to each item, and offer storage when a piece needs to wait. Mentors Moving & Storage completes more than 1,200 moves a year company-wide.
Our Dutton Avenue office plans each specialty move across Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, from the photos you send to the final placement, and keeps one contact on it. Have an item not listed here? Call us, there is a good chance we can help.
We take specialty jobs across the area our Santa Rosa moving company serves, including these four towns in Napa, Marin and Sonoma counties. Each page covers moving to or from that town.
Crates cut to each piece's size keep it from shifting and absorb bumps on hilly North Bay roads.
Framed art, canvases and sculpture are wrapped corner to corner and placed where you want them.
Older furniture and clocks get padding and careful handling so finishes and works stay intact.
Collections are packed piece by piece in sturdy cartons, labeled so nothing goes missing.
Oversized furniture, treadmills and weight machines are taken apart, padded and rebuilt at the new home.
IT equipment, arcade cabinets and pinball machines are padded and strapped for a safe ride.
A pool table or a set of gym machines can wait in storage while a garage is converted or a game room is finished. We deliver it once the space is ready, on a date you pick.
Pianos get their own plan, with a piano board, straps and padding, and their own page with the details for uprights and grands.
Already have a truck or trailer? Hire our movers by the hour to carry a safe or a weight rack out to it and strap it down.
A new pool table or a large framed piece bought from a store can come to us first, then be delivered and placed in your home.
Leaving California? Specialty pieces ride with the rest of the household on a long distance move, padded and strapped for the whole trip.
While some movers wrap the heavy pieces, others can box the kitchen, books and closets, so the whole house is ready on one day.
One written quote can cover any mix of these services. Our Dutton Avenue office schedules them together, so the heavy pieces, the boxes and the storage dates line up.
Local rules and weather change what has to happen before the truck arrives.
Most heavy and fragile item jobs we run in Sonoma County follow these five steps, from your first photos to the last check in the new room.
Share a photo of the piece, its rough size and where it sits now, plus the new address.
Drain the hot tub, empty the safe and clear shelves or racks before the date.
You get a written quote with the number of movers, the start time and any special equipment.
Movers wrap every finished surface, strap the piece and carry it along the measured route.
At the new home we set it where you want it and look it over together.
Start at least a day ahead. A slow pump to the sewer cleanout takes hours, and the tub must be empty before our movers can lift it.
It is billed at the hourly rates in our pricing table, with the 3-hour local minimum plus drive time. The number of movers depends on the weight of the piece and the route.
Yes. Tell us the safe size and the steps or turns on the way, and we send the movers and equipment that route needs.
It is better to avoid it. Damp air can weaken glue and swell wood, so a room with steady heat is a safer place for them to wait.
Yes. Tell us the brand and model of each machine so we know its weight, and we bring enough movers to set it in the garage or spare room.
Yes. We move hot tubs between homes in Sonoma and Marin counties once the tub is drained, and the cover travels with it.
