Specialty movers in Bakersfield deal with two problems at once: weight and heat. A safe or a pool table takes extra hands and the right equipment, while a painting or an antique dresser suffers in a truck parked in the sun. We plan for both before your date, starting with the photos and measurements you send.
Why trust Mentors with your specialty items? The movers we send have all finished our 160-hour training program, we have moved Bakersfield households since 2006, and we use quality pads, crates and packing materials for fragile pieces. Storage is available when an item needs to wait, and if your piece is not listed here, call us, there is a good chance we can help.
Specialty work in Bakersfield is billed by the hour for the movers and the truck, at the rates below, with no hidden fees. Moving one safe across town and moving a houseful that includes a pool table follow the same rate table.
The hours depend on the weight of each piece, how many people it takes to carry it, the steps and gates on the route, and the extra time needed to wrap art and finished wood. Sending photos ahead lets us size the job before the truck rolls.
Each local job has a 3-hour minimum plus billed drive time. Moving pads, straps and dollies are part of the hourly rate. Any specialty equipment a job needs is billed on a separate line. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation and storage are extra.
Summer in the southern San Joaquin Valley is hard on paint, glue and wood finishes, so we plan specialty loads around it.
Most of our specialty work falls into four groups, and each one needs something different from us.
We ask for the size and rough weight, then plan the number of movers, the dolly and the floor protection for the route.
Pool tables get pads over the rails, legs and pockets. Treadmills, benches and weight machines are wrapped so their moving parts cannot swing.
Have the tub drained and its power disconnected before move day. We carry it along the route we measured and set it where the new pad is ready.
Paintings and antique pieces get wrapping cut to their size and stay out of the heat. Pianos have their own piano moving service.
We were delighted with the service that we received from Mentor Moving Services. They were careful to make sure that each of our items of furniture, appliances, and decor were protected from scratches and other damage by not only wrapping them well , but by the way that they handled them. One item that was especially impressive was a full-size spa which was delivered totally intact and without a scratch. I am pleased to recommend Mentors without reservation.
Great work! Friendly, professional, methodical, and great at Tetris. We’ve got a pretty challenging load with different size and weight boxes, and they take their time to plot everything out to maximize the space in our pod. Exactly what we were hoping for. Will be glad to have their help for our second pod, if we even need another one now, they’re packing this one so well. Highly recommended!
You hear stories about moving companies so we approached this with trepidation. It was our first move that wasn’t do it ourself. Well, we didn’t have to worry. These folks were great. They did what they said they would do for the price we were quoted and were always on time. They packed us quickly but carefully and as we are unpacking, I can see there is a real art to packing and it takes a professional. I had no idea the skill involved in packing and boxing items. I think the driver who did the loading had a computer for a brain. He fit things in like a jigsaw puzzle with not a bit of wasted space but in the right order of heavy to light and took care with fragile items. I know I’m using a lot of words here. But it was fascinating. And the crew was professional and polite. I’d almost do it again. But not really- moving is hard. Yet, if we do move again, this is the company we will use.

Safes, artwork and other careful loads travel from our Bakersfield moving office to homes in these four towns as well. The community pages below have local moving details for each place.
Crates built to each item's dimensions stop movement and absorb impact for high-value pieces.
Paintings and antique furniture are wrapped to size and kept out of the heat on the way.
Collections and grandfather clocks are packed with care and the right materials for each piece.
Oversized furniture is taken apart, moved and reassembled without scuffing doors, stairs or floors.
Electronics are packed securely and cables labeled, so your setup comes back together.
Heavy, delicate game machines are padded and strapped so they arrive ready to play.
Uprights and grands follow their own plan, with a piano board, extra movers for stairs and padding for the case. When a piano is part of the same move, we schedule it on the same day as your other large pieces.
Bought a gym machine, a pool table or a framed painting from a local store? We receive it, bring it to your house and set it in place.
Need time to finish the garage gym or the game room first? We hold the machines and the table in storage, and antiques can spend the summer out of a hot garage.
Rented your own truck? Our movers can work hourly, carrying the safe, the treadmill or the weight rack out to it and strapping each one in place.
Leaving California? Your safe, gym equipment and art travel in the same truck as the rest of the household, wrapped and tied down for every mile, with one inventory covering all of it.
Our packers can box up the rest of the house, from the kitchen to the garage shelves, so loading day covers everything at once.
All of these can go on one written quote, booked by our Gilmore Avenue office around your moving date. Mention every large piece when you call, and we plan the movers, the truck space and the order of the stops at the same time.
Send a photo and both addresses, and our Gilmore Avenue office will reply with a written quote.
Usually, yes. The city curbside bulky pickup takes up to 2 eligible items per appointment, by appointment only, with one appointment every 3 months, so book it well before moving day.
Kern County disposal sites take household furniture from residents at no cost. Dropping them off before the move means you pay only to move what you keep.
It can. If setting up the spa needs a building permit, California law calls for at least two of seven listed drowning prevention features before the building inspector gives final approval.
Our hourly rates in the pricing table apply, along with a 3-hour minimum on local jobs and billed drive time. Weight, the route and wrapping time decide how many hours a piece takes.
Only if the car stays cool the whole way. A short ride with the air on works, but a car parked in the sun does not, so we can carry them wrapped and loaded last instead.
We lay runners along the full route and roll the safe on a dolly rated for its weight, so it never drags across tile or wood.
Send photos of the pieces, both addresses and your date. Call (661) 325-6683 or use the form, and we reply with a written quote for the movers and hours you need.
