About This Company

In 1975, Karl Bastian started Bastian Moving and Storage, which a year later turned into Careful Moving & Storage. He chose the logo of a cat carrying her kitten as a symbol of the care with which his movers handled every job. This team has completed over 1,800 projects in the last year alone. From Santa Rosa, CA, to the rest of the world, they expertly handle any move, big or small. These pros will go over every minor detail and step in the process from start to finish. Trust their expertise to protect your belongings from damage during transport with their packing services. They'll take care of this daunting task, so you don't have to lift a finger. In fact, they are so devoted to their clients that they can help in emergencies with little to no prior notice. One day is enough for these professionals to set you up and get you going. Honestly, you can trust them to take care of everything. There's no local, long-distance, cross-country, or even international relocation they can't make successfully. They even offer short or long-term storage solutions in their climate-controlled spaces. Your belongings will remain safe until you need them again.
