We see your home before we price it, then send an estimate with a not to exceed price.
Pack it all yourself, have us do the fragile rooms, or hand us the whole house.
Summer loads start early, furniture is padded and each tier of the truck is strapped.
Your things ride in our truck up the valley, over the Grapevine or west to the coast, with the movers who loaded them.
Furniture is placed by room and rebuilt, and every box goes where its label says.
These pair well with an in-state move from Bakersfield.
Mentor Movers made my move a smooth and relatively painless process (because we all know that moving is always painful). The movers traveled to LA and brought my stuff to Bakersfield to my storage facility and packed it quickly. They even helped put some of the items in my mom’s car for us which was far and above expected.
The day of our move, 4 men showed up with a truck, layed down a mat to protect my floors and packed the truck in under 4 hours. Impressive! The next day, they arrived at our new home (4hours away) before 8am and a 3 man crew unloaded and set up whatever I needed, even moved things twice while I made up my mind.
Mentors moved a recliner and lamps from Fresno to Bakersfield which was very helpful. The movers from mentors are always careful and professional. I appreciate doing business with them.

Your agreement carries a not to exceed price, so the total cannot climb past it without a signed change.
Winter trips south get a weather check before the truck leaves, and a backup plan if the pass closes.
Moves west to the Central Coast and north to Fresno and Sacramento leave from the same yard.
If escrow runs late, we store your things and deliver when the keys are yours.
