Have a safe, piano, antique or piece of art that needs special care? Our Phoenix specialty movers plan the route, protect your floors and move each item safely. Request a quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Specialty movers in Phoenix earn their fee in the planning. Before your date we ask what the item is, roughly what it weighs and the path from where it sits to where it goes, including steps, gates and soft ground. That tells us how many movers to send and how much time to set aside.
Every mover on these jobs has finished our 160-hour training program, and our movers complete more than 1,200 moves a year across the company.
Specialty moves in Phoenix are billed by the hour for the movers and truck, the same way as a household move. Three things set the hours on a heavy or delicate item.
A heavy safe or a large hot tub can call for more movers than a sofa does.
Steps, gravel, narrow side yards and pool gates all add time at each address.
Art, antiques and finished wood take longer to pad and box than everyday furniture.
Starting rates by number of movers are below. Specialty equipment, when a job needs it, shows as its own line on the quote.
| 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 |
Local jobs carry a 3-hour minimum plus billed drive time. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation above the free basic coverage and storage are added separately, and there are no hidden fees.
Hot tubs, pool tables and gym gear often head to a backyard or patio, and the city pool code shapes how they get there.
Every specialty job follows the same order, whether the piece is a safe in a closet or a hot tub on a patio.
Send the item type, its size and a photo of where it sits now.
We check steps, doors, gates and ground between the item and the truck.
You get a written quote with the number of movers and the start time.
The piece is padded and strapped, then carried along the planned route.
We set it where you want it and look it over with you before we leave.
Four groups of items, and what each one needs from us.
Heavy safes need the right number of movers, a clear path and floors protected along the way. Tell us the size and whether stairs are involved.
Pool tables are padded on every rail and leg, strapped in the truck and set in the game room you pick.
Hot tubs travel with their locking covers. Treadmills, racks and weight machines are padded and strapped for the ride.
Paintings, sculpture and older furniture are wrapped and boxed to their size, then unwrapped slowly at the new home.
The National Park Service says objects made from materials that absorb moisture take anywhere from a few hours, for a sheet of paper, to several weeks, for a wooden sculpture, to adjust to a change in humidity. Antique wood furniture, framed art and paintings follow that pattern.
So we keep these pieces wrapped until they are inside. Unwrap them in a room with steady air conditioning and give them a few days before hanging or refinishing. Our Tempe office can talk you through it when you book.
Great experience, flexible, and STRONG. Never seen any one person carry a couch over their shoulder before 😲 would recommend!
What I thought was impossible, was possible with the “can do” crew that I had help me with my recent move. They helped me place my very large couch in my new home, and I thought it was nearly impossible. Saving me thousands of dollars! I would absolutely recommend Mentors to any of my friends and family. They are hard workers, kind, professional and go above and beyond.
Great experience overall! The planning process was informative and on day of the move, the individuals helping me were professional, hard working, and kind. Shortly before my move, my mom fractured her patella and needed to keep her leg elevated. The movers arranged to load the couch last at my old place and unload it first at my new place, so she could rest comfortably. All three were outstanding

Yes, in most homes. Tell us the safe size and the number of steps, and we plan the number of movers and the route before the date.
Not if it has a lockable safety cover that meets the ASTM standard named in the city code. We move the cover along with the tub, so you can lock it as soon as the tub is set.
No. The city code only lets owners change a pool fence to repair or rebuild it to code, so we bring equipment in through the gates you already have.
Yes. Moving a pool table to another room is billed at our hourly rates, and the local minimum applies.
Unwrap them slowly in a room with steady air conditioning. Wood and paint need time to adjust to a new humidity level.
