Planning a California move? Our California movers work from Bakersfield and Santa Rosa offices, handling local moves, in-state trips and out-of-state hauls. Get a quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Our California movers work out of Santa Rosa and Bakersfield, so the office that quotes your move sits in your region. Jesse Lovan and Chris Shipp, both raised in Bakersfield, own the company and run it from the Gilmore Avenue headquarters. Each office books its own moves and sends its own movers.
pricing on local moves from either office
Call the office nearest your current home. It reviews both addresses, the inventory and access before it prices the job.
Leaving the North Bay for the valley, or the reverse? One office plans the trip from loading to unloading.
Both offices load long distance moves and keep the inventory and delivery dates in your written contract.
Full packing, a kitchen-only job or just the fragile pieces. Movers from our North Bay office bring cartons, paper and tape, label each box by room and can unpack the essentials on arrival.
Waiting on escrow, a remodel or a new lease? We pick up from Kern County homes, list each item as it goes into storage and bring it back on the date you choose.
Desks, files and IT gear for Sonoma, Marin and Napa businesses. We tag every item to the new floor plan and can move after hours so work picks up the next day.
Shops, warehouses, clinics and schools in the southern valley. We stage the load, protect floors and doorways and set fixtures where the new layout calls for them.
An upright or a grand gets blankets on every side and rides on a piano board. We bring enough movers for porch steps and narrow halls, then set it on the spot you mark.
Rented a truck or a portable container? Our movers load or unload it by the hour, wrap each large piece and strap the load in tiers so it rides steady on the highway.
Santa Rosa also books white glove delivery and corporate relocation. Bakersfield also books packout services and specialty moving for safes and other heavy items.
Local moves from either office are priced by the hour, and each rate covers the movers and the truck. Rates differ by office, so the table shows both side by side.
Two movers fit a studio, a 1 bedroom or a small office. Three movers fit a large 1 bedroom up to a 3 bedroom home. Four movers fit a full 3 bedroom home or a larger office. Your hours depend on how much you own, stairs and parking at each address and the drive between them.
Your written estimate lists every charge before you book.
Every local move has a 3-hour minimum, and drive time is billed by the hour on top. Pads, shrink wrap, dollies and taking apart beds or tables come with the rate. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation and storage are billed as separate items.
These state rules decide how your move is priced and what you file after you arrive.
Mentors Moving & Storage runs its North Bay office at 3000 Dutton Ave Ste B, Santa Rosa, CA 95407. Call the Santa Rosa office at (707) 326-4479 for moves in Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties.
Each office keeps its own phone line and calendar, so date changes, added stops and storage questions go straight to the people who quoted you.

We had a great experience hiring Mentors moving last minute to handle our move. They were available to accommodate our move with only a days notice. They were flexible and clear about pricing. The crew that moved our items were fantastic. They were kind and professional, we can’t thank them enough!!
Mentors moving sent 2 guys to load a Pods container. They were very efficient and hard working. They loaded up all the stuff we had and when we got the container unloaded all the way across country everything arrived in perfect condition. That’s a testament to their knowledge and expertise in loading our belongings. I will highly recommend them to anyone looking for professionals to help move.
This crew (Tomas, Arturo, Anthony and Eli) showed up early and got right to work! They were very professional and were willing to accommodate us any way they could. They worked quickly and efficiently. Mentors Moving’s rates were also VERY reasonable. I would definitely hire them again!
Our Gilmore Avenue office is at 3101 Gilmore Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93308. Call (661) 325-6683 for Kern County and Central Valley moves.
For a move across the state or out of it, we walk through the home, list every large item and send a written estimate. Your contract then sets the loading date, the delivery dates and the price before anything is packed.
Call the office closest to the home you are leaving. Santa Rosa handles Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties, and Bakersfield handles Kern County, Fresno, Tulare and nearby valley towns.
Each office sets its own hourly rates for its region. The rate table above shows both, and your written estimate uses the rates of the office that runs your move.
Yes. For moves within California, the BHGS moving tips flyer says an estimate cannot be given without a visual inspection, and it recommends that inspection happen in person.
