Where does a clinic’s furniture go when it shows up six weeks before the drywall is done? With our FFE logistics service in Bakersfield, it comes to our warehouse. We unload the trucks, log each carton against your purchase orders and hold the goods in storage that is monitored 24/7.
When your contractor turns over a floor or a wing, we load only what that area needs, drive it to the site and set it to the drawings. You deal with one company from the first delivery to the last carton hauled off.
Receiving, warehouse handling and install days in Bakersfield are billed by the hour for movers and a truck at the rates below. Warehouse handling for a project typically totals $300 to $540.
Your quote depends on the piece count, how long the goods sit before install, the dock and elevator access at the site and how many trips the phases take. We price each project in writing after we see the order and the building.
Each local job carries a 3-hour minimum, and drive time to the site is billed by the hour. Storage, packing materials, valuation and fuel surcharge appear as their own lines on the project quote.
Four state and county figures explain how projects here get timed.
Every project we run from Bakersfield follows these five stages, whether the order fills one clinic suite or a school wing. Each mover on these jobs has finished our 160-hour training program.
Send purchase orders, the site address and the target install window so we can book dock space.
Vendor trucks unload at our warehouse, and each carton is counted and checked for freight damage.
Pieces get the room or area number from your drawings, so sorting is done before anything leaves.
Loads go out when your contractor opens an area, in the order the installer wants them.
Our movers build and set each piece, then break down cartons and take the packaging away.
A crushed corner or a missing chair is easiest to fix the day the freight arrives. When a carrier backs up to our door, we compare the bill of lading with what comes off the truck, note any damage on the delivery receipt and take photos before the driver leaves.
Then you get a short report: what arrived, what was damaged and what is still on order. That gives your vendor time to send replacements before install week, instead of your installer finding the gap in an empty room on opening day.
I’ve used Mentors many times for client moves and they’re always professional, nice, hard working and fast! Reggie and Carlos did a great job at my own residential move. They arrived early, are kind, and flexible with changes. Big furniture and file cabinets (that would be an obstacle for me and most other movers) are a cinch! They are going the extra mile to pack things safely and securely.
I was really surprised how efficient the crew was. How organized and quick they worked. Protected everything important with blankets and straps for transit. They loaded my storage unit in such a way I had access to everything which was a blessing. And the cost, was extremely reasonable compared to other movers, which I truly appreciated. All in all, I am extremely pleased with these movies. They accommodated my schedule, we on time. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for your service.
I needed several household items and boxes moved to a storage unit. Mentors Moving & Storage was great! They were prompt, efficient, personable, and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend this company. I will definitely use them again.

Furniture and fixture orders do not stop at the county line. Our trucks carry staged FF&E from Gilmore Avenue to job sites in Kern, Tulare and Fresno counties. A page for each town sits below.
We price FF&E work from the facts that drive the hours: piece count, ship dates, how long goods wait and the access at the site. The more of the order we see, the closer the quote lands to the final invoice.
Warehouse storage time is quoted as a separate line from install hours.
Old desks have to leave before new ones arrive. Our movers have relocated more than 100,000 square feet of office space, and they can clear the existing suite on the same calendar as your new furniture.
Furniture that lands months early, or older pieces pulled out during a remodel, can stay in storage with a running inventory until you call for it by room or by date.
Classrooms emptied before summer construction and refilled before staff return, with every chair, desk and bookcase tagged to the room it came from.
Shelving, racking and fixtures moved out of a store, clinic or warehouse while the new FF&E goes in, so the space turns over in a single week.
Single pieces bought by a homeowner or designer, carried into a house and placed there, when the job is one sofa or dining set rather than a full project site.
Hourly movers to unload a vendor truck at the site or shift furniture between floors when no warehouse step is needed and the vendor handles transport.
Any of these can sit on the same written project quote, so purchasing approves one price for receiving, storage, removal of old pieces and every install day on the project calendar.
All of them run from our Gilmore Avenue office. For household moves, see our Bakersfield moving services.
It depends on the piece count and how long the goods stay in storage. Handling and install hours follow the rates in our pricing section, with a 3-hour minimum on each local job.
