Bound for San Francisco? Our movers load your Bakersfield home onto a truck that carries nothing else and handle the steep blocks and tight curbs in the city. Book now.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
A truck set aside for your household carries it from Bakersfield to San Francisco, so your furniture is never transferred or mixed with another load on the way up the state. Your delivery window is agreed in writing before loading. On the city end, the movers who packed you in Kern County are the ones who carry everything up the stairs.
Find your home size to see the typical cost of this move. Each range already counts the movers, the truck, the long drive north and the fuel surcharge.
Ground-floor homes with a legal spot for the truck sit near the bottom of a range. Walk-ups, hills, elevators or a long carry from the curb in San Francisco move it toward the top.
Packing, cartons, storage time and higher valuation coverage are add-ons with their own lines.
The Bureau of Household Goods and Services lists these points in its consumer guide and its maximum rate tariff.
The guide suggests asking for the name and ID of the people doing your move.
Write down the make, model and license plate of the moving vehicles, and take photos.
If a promised pickup date or time will be missed, the mover must tell you by phone, fax or email as soon as that becomes clear.
The bureau does not regulate storage facilities, so read the storage terms on their own before you sign them.
Reserve curb space for the truck with SFMTA temporary no-parking signs, and apply at least five business days ahead. When you start water and sewer service, the SFPUC may ask for a deposit of about twice the estimated monthly bill, with a $50 minimum, refunded with interest after a year of on-time payments.
Update your car registration first, then apply for a Residential Parking Permit once the DMV record shows the new address.
Mentors was a great choice for our move. They showed up right on time to start moving my stuff. The guys that showed up were very respectful and gentle with our stuff. Couldn’t recommend this company enough for your moving needs!
Mentors Moving was very professional, efficient & smooth experience. They showed up exactly when they said they would. Packed up the truck like a Tetris game with room to spare. Were very patient and helpful with my directions when they unloaded. All in all a definite 5 plus experience. I’ve used them in the past and always the same positive experience. Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.
I was referred to Mentor’s Moving. They provided us with boxes prior to the move, were easy to communicate with leading up to the move and were great with follow up. On the day of the move, the crew arrived on time, they were professional, efficient and took steps to ensure our items were packaged safely to move to our new home. Great company with reasonable prices. I will be referring others to them going forward.

Our Gilmore Avenue office in Bakersfield books your San Francisco move, sets the truck and the movers, and is the number to call until the last box is inside. Questions about dates, storage or your quote all go to that one office.

Your household is the only load on the truck from Bakersfield to your San Francisco door.
You know the loading day and the delivery window before the first box goes on the truck.
If your SF lease starts late, your things wait in storage monitored around the clock.
Tell us about hills and narrow curbs, and we plan how the truck parks and how far the movers carry.
Extra movers come along when a flat sits up several flights with no elevator.
You see the cost range for your home size in writing before you commit to a date.
The route runs up the west side of the valley, over Altamont Pass and across the Bay Bridge. Caltrans puts the Altamont peaks at 5 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m., so we time the truck around them.
We call you if the arrival time moves.
Follow these five steps in the weeks before your loading day in Bakersfield.
Many San Francisco flats have narrow stairways. Measure them and check your sofa, mattress and dresser sizes.
Find out where a truck can stop on your new block and what rules the street posts for moving day.
City homes are often smaller. Sell or donate what will not fit before the movers arrive.
Keep jewelry, passports and family photos with you instead of on the truck.
Leave Bakersfield early enough to meet the truck at your San Francisco address.
Count on a full day for the drive plus time to load and unload. Bigger homes often load one day and deliver the next, and we put both dates in writing first.
No. A truck is set aside for your household from Bakersfield to San Francisco, so nothing is transferred on the way.
Yes. Tell us how many flights there are, and we plan extra movers and time for the stairs.
Read the storage terms on their own. The state bureau that oversees movers does not regulate storage facilities, so the contract matters.
Yes. Bikes are padded and strapped upright, and boards and racks are wrapped so they ride without rubbing.
