Santa Rosa Packing Services Built for Wine Country Homes

Sonoma County grew 58,302 acres of wine grapes in 2024, a crop worth $626,550,200, according to the county crop report. Wine is part of many households here, and our packing services in Santa Rosa plan for it from the first walk-through. We count bottles and glassware, bring wine cartons with dividers, and pack the kitchen, books, closets and art in the order your move needs.

Packing Prices for Santa Rosa Homes

Packing is billed by the hour for movers and a truck, at the rates below. A packing service with us typically totals $1,710 to $3,390, and a move with packing included typically totals $1,460 to $3,490.

Your number depends on how many rooms we pack, how many fragile pieces need special cartons, and whether we unpack at the new home.

Packing Fragile Pieces for Earthquake Country

Santa Rosa sits near the Rodgers Creek Fault, and the USGS gives a 33 percent chance of a magnitude 6.7 or larger quake on it or the Hayward Fault by 2043. Here is how we pack and unpack with that in mind.

Doorway padded and floor covered before a move
01

Low and Heavy First

Ready.gov advises storing heavy and breakable things on low shelves. When we unpack, glass and heavy pieces go on the lower shelves.

02

Stable Stacks

Heavy cartons sit on the bottom, and dish packs stay in short stacks in the truck and in storage.

03

Anchor Points Clear

Bookcases and TV stands are set against walls with room left for your straps or brackets.

04

Twin Quakes Under the City

Two quakes of magnitude 5.6 and 5.7 struck below north Santa Rosa on October 1, 1969. We wrap art and mirrors with that history in mind.

Patio Furniture, Grills and Firewood Coming Into Sonoma County

That same year, county agricultural inspectors checked 22 shipments of household goods for Spongy Moth and Spotted Lanternfly, the crop report notes. Outdoor items from infested parts of the country, such as grills, patio furniture, boats and firewood, get the closest look.

If you are moving here from one of those areas, clean and check outdoor pieces before we pack them, and leave firewood behind. We wrap patio sets and grills last so they come off the truck first, and we can set them aside in the yard or garage at the new home if you want to look them over before they go into the house.

What Customers Say About Our Packers

In their own words, posted on Google for our Dutton Avenue office.

Dale D

The packing and moving was outstanding! Totally professional service by Arturo, Miguel, Hector, Antonio and Derrick. These guys know how to pack you and move you. I would totally recommend them.

Michelle B

Johnny, Junior and the rest of the crew did a great job helping us move. We hired them to come the day before the move the help us pack and I’m so glad we did because there is no way we would have been ready otherwise. Everything was packed very securely. They even put together a bunch of boxes before they left so we could continue packing. On move day they also helped us pack the last minute odds and ends and were extremely courteous, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. If we needed a box for something, they dropped what they were doing to go find a box and pack what we needed. We would highly recommend Mentors Movers. This was the second time we used them and it was really easy to start the process because they already had our furniture types in the system. Thank you for all of your help Johnny and crew!

Valorie Cronin

Top notch. I will use again. The three gentlemen that moved us were fast,careful, courteous and very respectful. The fragile delicates were packed with care. It was January 4 and the whole job from start to finish was done in less than 4 hours.
