Moving to the Gulf Coast? Our Bakersfield to Houston movers give you one coordinator, a truck carrying only your things and delivery to your Houston home. Request a quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
An assigned move coordinator runs your Houston move. That person books the loading day, writes the delivery window into your paperwork and calls with updates as a dedicated truck crosses Arizona, New Mexico and Texas with only your household on board. Your quote lists every charge up front, with no hidden fees added once you reach Texas.
Each range below is the usual price of this move by home size, with the movers, the truck, the days on the interstate and the fuel surcharge already inside.
A compact load with easy parking at both homes lands low. More rooms, stairs, a long carry or a peak-season week lands higher. Every line on the quote is listed before you book.
Packing labor, cartons, storage and added valuation are separate lines you choose to add.
Interstate moves follow the federal rules on Protect Your Move. Here are two federal points and two Houston steps:
Under 49 CFR 375.505, the bill of lading shows the agreed date or period for pickup and delivery.
Read Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move from FMCSA before loading day.
Buying a home? File the Harris Central Appraisal District homestead application before the first anniversary of the purchase.
Do not count on the seller’s exemption. Check that HCAD lists you as owner and file your own application.
This was the best experience we have ever had…without any doubt! I was an Army brat so I know what moving can and shouldn’t be. The guys who came (George, Cruz and Daniel) were professional, courteous, efficient and thoughtful. Never have we had such a pleasant time with an unpleasant job. They are the best! Mary Schlosser
We used Mentors to move our elderly parents to a smaller home. My mom has early dementia, so she was anxious and a little in the way. The movers were so kind and accommodating. Everything went just as planned, even finished earlier than estimated and saved us some money. Would highly recommend.
Great experience all around! Super friendly and quick, with great care of our items! Andres and Michael were an absolute dream taking care of our move, and so incredibly accommodating!
Each one was posted on Google by a customer of our Kern County office. Read more reviews.
Look at another long trip east, or pair a service with your Gulf Coast move.
From Kern County to the Gulf Coast on one truck, with a coordinator who sets the delivery window in writing and calls before the truck reaches your Houston street.
Packers box the kitchen, books and fragile pieces, or the whole house, and bag soft items against Gulf humidity before they ride east for days. Every carton is labeled with its new room.
If your Houston closing slips, your belongings wait in storage after loading and come east on the date you pick, once you hold the keys.
Employers moving staff to Houston get one plan, one coordinator and one invoice per household, with move dates set around start dates and a single contact for HR.
Paintings are crated or boxed, heirloom pieces get double pads, and we hang art and make beds before leaving your Houston home.
Retiring near grandchildren in Texas? We help decide what comes along, pack it, and arrange the new rooms so daily routines feel familiar from the first night.
Also from our Bakersfield office: piano movers, labor-only movers and international movers, all added to one quote and one plan.
This drive runs through high desert where dust can blow across the road, then ends on a coast known for flooding.
Work through these five steps before your loading day.
Late summer and fall bring tropical storms to the Gulf. Keep a flexible delivery day if you move then.
Bag mattresses and soft furniture, and do not pack anything damp.
The regular HCAD homestead filing window runs from January 1 through April 30.
Check doorways and stairs for your largest pieces before they leave Bakersfield.
Keep sheets, towels, chargers and medicine in your car for the first night in Houston.
Call our Kern County office for a written range and a planned loading day.
It is one of the longest drives on our Bakersfield route list, so expect a multi-day trip. Your coordinator writes the loading day and the delivery window into your paperwork before a single box goes on the truck.
No. Every charge is on the quote before you book, and any added service shows up in writing first.
The truck holds at a safe stop until the roads are clear and the water has gone down, and your coordinator calls you with a new arrival time.
Yes. File your own homestead application with the appraisal district, since the seller’s exemption does not carry over to you. The district lists the filing rules online.
Yes. After loading, the household waits in storage and heads east once closing is done. The storage charge is shown apart from the moving price.
Share your Bakersfield address, the Houston address, a target week and your bedroom count by phone or form. Your coordinator sends back a written range and a loading date.
