Every mover on your Austin job completed our 160-hour training program before working a move, so wrapping, loading and stair carries follow the same method from Kern County to Texas, whatever the size of your home. If your Austin home is not ready, your belongings wait in storage monitored around the clock until the Texas closing or lease date arrives.
Find your home size to see the usual range for this cross-country trip. The movers, the truck, the days of highway and the fuel surcharge are already counted.
An easy load with the truck at the door stays low in its range. Stairs, a long carry, apartment elevator rules or a busy summer week push the price toward the top.
Packing, materials, storage and higher valuation coverage are add-ons on separate lines.
Mom is 94 years old. Mentors moved her essentials from her home to her studio apartment at Rosewood. They were very patient with her and her requests as to where her furniture should be. The guys did a great job!
Mentors moving was very professional and even went the extra mile to come back to my house and load some more totes and bags that I had overlooked on Saturday May 31st. I am totally pleased with the crew and the cost of this move and I highly recommend Mentors Moving for anybody’s next move. Thank you so much.
Mike and Alex did a great job moving our family out – Quick, professional, and extremely nice/helpful. Couldn’t have asked for an easier move – Mentor’s best in the business and it’s not even close!
All three were left on Google for our Bakersfield office. See the rest.
Your Austin move is planned at our Gilmore Avenue office in Bakersfield, the office where every Kern County move is planned. It books the truck and the movers, tracks the trip across Texas and answers your questions until delivery day in Central Texas.
Two other Texas trips we run, plus services that pair well with this one.
Tell us what is moving and where, and we price it. Bedroom count, large pieces, stairs at either house and your preferred week all shape the number we send back for Austin.
Storage is not built into the price. Add it at booking or later if your Austin closing shifts.
We inventory and pad your Kern County home, load it on one truck and drive it to Central Texas with the delivery window set in writing before loading. A call comes before the truck arrives.
Our packers handle the kitchen, books and fragile pieces, or the whole house, and they label each carton with the room it belongs in.
If your Austin closing or lease date slips, your belongings wait in storage watched around the clock and come east when you are ready for them.
Employers moving staff to Austin get one plan, one point of contact and one invoice for each household they relocate.
Uprights and grands are padded, strapped to a piano board and carried by extra movers at both ends of the trip.
Moving to be near grandkids in Texas? We go room by room deciding what fits the new place, pack it, and set up the furniture so the house feels lived-in on night one.
Also from our Bakersfield office: white glove delivery, labor-only movers and international movers, all on one quote for your Texas move.
The last stretch crosses the Hill Country, where heavy rain turns creeks and low water crossings dangerous fast.
A short checklist for the month before your Texas move.
Late spring and fall can bring heavy rain to the Hill Country. Leave a spare delivery day in those seasons.
Austin lets you pick a trash cart at move-in. Going smaller is free, and going larger has a one-time fee.
If your new block is in the Residential Permit Parking program, plan for digital permits tied to your plates.
The first city utility bill can include one-time fees to start electric, water and trash service.
Keep candles, medicine and electronics in your car for the drive across West Texas.
Federal moving rules are summed up on Protect Your Move. One worth knowing for a long haul: when you and the mover cannot agree on a damage claim, 49 CFR 375.211 gives you access to the mover’s arbitration program, and you hear about that program in writing ahead of signing.
In Austin, expect a $20 one-time fee to start electric or water and $15 to start solid waste on your first utility bill. Residential Permit Parking permits are digital and tied to your plate, and trash carts come in four sizes.
It is a multi-day trip for a loaded truck. We agree on the loading day and the delivery window with you in writing before anything is packed.
Yes. Every mover finished our in-house training program before working a move, and the same movers load and unload your home.
The driver stops short of the water and waits it out. You hear from us right away with revised timing.
Only if your block is in the Residential Permit Parking program. The permits are digital and tied to your plate.
Yes. Pickup can happen on your Kern County schedule, with the household parked in storage until Austin is ready. You pay for storage as a separate line item.
Phone us or use the form with your Kern County address, your Austin address, the week you have in mind and your bedroom count. Our reply comes back as a price range in writing plus a proposed pickup date.
