Summer break coming fast? Our school movers in Phoenix relocate classrooms, labs and campus offices on your academic calendar so rooms open ready. Ask for a walk-through quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
School movers in Phoenix live by one rule: the building has to be ready when students come back. We plan each job backward from that date. Rooms are walked and counted, every item gets a tag with its new building and room number, and the move runs during a break when the halls are empty.
Every mover we send to a campus has passed a background check before their first job, and our movers complete more than 1,200 moves a year across the company.
We bill school and campus moves in Phoenix by the hour, from the same rate card we use on every local job. Three things decide how many hours your move takes.
The count of classrooms, offices and library shelves sets the number of movers and trucks.
Elevators, loading docks and the walk from each door to the truck add or save time.
A short break can call for more movers working at once so rooms are done before classes resume.
Rates start at the figures below. Your written quote follows a walk-through of both buildings.
| Movers and truck | Good for | Starting rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers, 1 truck | Studio, 1 bedroom or small office | from $190/hr |
| 3 movers, 1 truck | Large 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom home | from $230/hr |
| 4 movers, 1 truck | 3 bedroom home or larger office | from $290/hr |
A local job has a 3-hour minimum plus billed drive time. Pads, dollies and furniture disassembly come with the rate. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, extra valuation and storage are added as separate items, with no hidden fees.
For the 2026 to 2027 school year, these closures are the main windows for classroom and campus work.
Dates from the Mesa Public Schools calendars and the ASU academic calendar.
Four kinds of education work, and how each one fits the calendar.
About 51,200 students attend ASU on the Tempe campus this fall and another 10,800 at Downtown Phoenix, ASU reports. Department and lab moves there go best in the weeks after commencement.
Mesa Public Schools opened on August 6. Classroom furniture and teacher supplies move during winter break or after the last day of school, when buildings sit empty.
Books are boxed in shelf order and labeled by range, so the collection goes back on the shelves the way it came off.
ASU fall move-in ran August 14 at Tempe and Downtown Phoenix and August 16 at West Valley. We start student apartment moves early in the day around move-in week.
ASU spring classes run January 11 to April 30, and finals follow in early May. Departments changing buildings, faculty relocating and graduates leaving town all want the same few weeks. Our Kyrene Road office in Tempe plans these jobs, so call early if your move falls in May. A department move booked in March has far more dates to choose from.
Mentors Moving and Storage helped me with my recent move. It was the BEST decision I made. I highly recommend this company!
Fantastic job. Lynn, and Axel were aces!!! Handle my move this time and I’ll request they come back when I move again. Ownership should pay close attention to the assets they have out in the field. Good workers are hard to come by.
No hassel move. They were great came to place A and packed everything and moved and unpacked at place B within 2 hour frame as requested. Simple. Easy. Everything came unbroken. Thanks!

We move schools, offices and households in these East Valley and Pinal County cities. Each page covers moving in that area.
Student desks, chairs, tables and teacher desks are moved and set to the plan for each classroom.
Books go into cartons in shelf order, and each carton is numbered to the range it came from.
Desks, files and bookcases move with tags that match the new building and room number.
Equipment your school has unplugged and prepared is padded, moved and set on the right bench or cart.
Furniture that is not going to the new room can wait in storage until the next school year.
Pads, wrap and empty cartons leave with the truck, so custodians can clean right away.
District offices, admissions suites and faculty offices move on the same tagged plan as classrooms. Workstations come apart, travel padded and go back together at the new desk.
Surplus desks, archived records and furniture waiting on a renovation can sit in storage between terms. We bring it back to the room you name when the building is ready.
New classroom or residence hall furniture can be received at our warehouse, held until the rooms are ready and installed before students arrive. One delivery date replaces many separate vendor drop-offs.
Our movers pack libraries, supply rooms and front offices, label every carton by room and bring the boxes, paper and tape, so teachers only pack their own desks.
New faculty and administrators coming to the Valley can have their household moved on a schedule that fits their start date, with storage if the new home is not ready.
Hourly movers to shift furniture between rooms, stage a classroom for summer floor cleaning or load a truck your district already owns.
Faculty, students and families can book a household move too. See our Phoenix moving services for homes and apartments.
