Surprise Moving Company

Surprise Movers for Downsizing, Seasonal and Family Moves

About one in four Surprise residents, 24.4% in the 2020 Census, was 65 or older. That shapes the work our Surprise movers do most: a house of decades of furniture sorted into a smaller home, heirlooms wrapped one by one, and a bed set up before the first night.

The movers who handle it are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage, and our three offices run more than 1,200 moves a year. Families moving into newer subdivisions get the same care, with garages and patio sets loaded and placed.

Safes and Pool Tables

A gun safe in the garage or a pool table in the game room moves with rigging, straps and extra hands, planned before move day.

After a fire or a burst pipe, our packout services pack and store the contents. Local shops and clinics can book our commercial movers.

Surprise Rates

What Surprise Movers Charge by the Hour

In Surprise you pay by the hour, and that one rate covers the movers plus the truck. Look for the row that matches your home.

Hours rise with a crowded garage and outdoor furniture, and fall when you pack ahead or sell the extras. Road time from one address to the other counts too, and your written quote shows it before you book.

Common Questions About Moving in Surprise

Most arrive in October and November and leave in April and May. Surprise holds thousands of part-year homes, so those weeks book first.

Yes. Our senior movers pack the house, help decide what fits the new rooms and get the kitchen, a reading chair and the bedroom working first.

Yes. Send us the community rules on truck parking and move hours with the gate details, and we schedule the job inside them.

Yes. We pack and load the house in spring and keep it in storage monitored 24/7 until you return.

We load on closing day, hold your things and deliver once the new place is ready. Homes for sale rarely sit empty here, so tight gaps between closings are common.
