Boston sits farther from our Dutton Avenue office than any other city on our Santa Rosa route list. The truck crosses the whole country, so we treat the plan for the last mile with the same care as the first. Your home rides on a dedicated truck, loaded once in Sonoma County and unloaded once in Massachusetts.
The movers who wrap your furniture are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage, and each one passed a background check before their first job. They inventory every piece at loading, so you can check the same list when the truck reaches your Boston street.
These ranges show the usual cost of this cross-country move by home size. Each one covers the movers, the truck, the drive east and the fuel surcharge.
An elevator building with the permit in place sits lower. Walk-up stairs, a long carry from the curb or a late summer date sits higher, since that is when many Boston leases turn over.
Packing, cartons, storage and added valuation are priced as separate lines.
What a wonderful experience. Moving and packing is stressful enough and these guys made it as a delightful experience as possible. On time. Courteous. Helpful. Thoughtful. Careful,. And oh yeah…. They ended up charging less than expected. What else could you ask for? I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Josh, Hector, and Migel were excellent. They arrived exactly on time when they said they would, communicated with me about what items needed packing, handled everything with care, and even finished the job a little earlier than quoted. I would recommend them.
From the quick Yelp response and communication from Zach & Brandon, to the efficient, reliable and professional move from Steven & Roberto, I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received from Mentors Moving and Storage. Highly recommend and without hesitation will use them again!
All three were posted to the Google Business Profile of our Santa Rosa office. Read the rest on Google.

Share your home size, both addresses, the stairs at each end, any large pieces and your dates. We turn that into a range for the trip.
Storage between homes and full packing are optional and show as their own lines.
We inventory the house, pad and wrap each piece and drive it to Massachusetts on a truck that carries only your household, with a delivery window set before loading.
Our packers can box the whole house or only the kitchen, books and art, and every carton is labeled with its room in the Boston apartment, so the unload goes quickly once the permit window opens.
If your Boston lease starts weeks after you leave Sonoma County, the load can wait in storage and head east when the keys are ready.
Uprights and grands are padded, strapped to a board and carried by extra movers, which matters on the narrow stairs found in many older Boston homes.
Antiques and fine furniture get extra wrapping, careful placement and full setup in the new rooms.
Safes, aquariums and large art need crates, boards and a plan. Tell us about them when you book so the right gear and extra hands come on loading day.
Also from our Santa Rosa office: corporate relocation and labor-only movers, each added to the same plan.
The hardest part of this trip comes in the last few miles. Here is what we plan for before the truck reaches the city.
Five things to settle before loading day in Sonoma County.
Ask for a delivery date away from the start of September, when campuses and leases change hands.
Apply through the city as soon as your delivery window is set, then find someone local to post the signs.
Note stair turns, door widths and elevator size at the Boston address so large pieces are planned.
Massachusetts registration starts with an insurance agent, so call one before you arrive.
The truck takes days to cross the country, so keep clothes, medicine and documents with you.
Interstate moves follow FMCSA rules, set out on its Protect Your Move page. Under 49 CFR 375.503, the mover must write an itemized inventory, number every article and give you a signed copy before or at loading, and at delivery you can check each item and note anything missing or damaged.
In Massachusetts, you must register your car as soon as you become a resident, with no grace period, and get an inspection sticker within 7 days of registration, per the Massachusetts RMV.
Allow about a week door to door. Close to two full days of that is driving, and your delivery window is written into the paperwork before the first piece goes on the truck.
You or someone local posts them, since they must go up two days before the truck arrives. We tell you the date, the truck length and how many spaces to request.
No. Moving trucks stay off the River Roads because of the low bridges. Our drivers plan a route on the turnpike and city streets instead.
If you can, yes. Streets near colleges are crowded around move-in day, so a date a week or two away from it is easier to permit and park.
Yes. We can load in Sonoma County, keep everything in storage for as long as you need and send it to Massachusetts once the lease begins. That storage time shows as a separate charge.
Phone (707) 326-4479 or use the form to share where you live now, where you are headed in Boston, the month you prefer and how many rooms are moving. You get a written cost range and a proposed pickup day in return.
