Get Your Written Number

A quick photo walkthrough is usually enough for Sierra to write your flat rate before the day is out.

There's no charge for asking and no surprise line item waiting on move day. Your form lands on our Cleveland Ave desk within minutes, read by an actual Fast Masters Moving employee, never routed through an outside booking service.

Sierra keeps a running list of what people ask before booking, and harvest-season timing tops it more often than pricing does.

Two quick facts before the list

Fast Masters is registered with California as a household goods carrier, and there is no rotating cast of day laborers — the same names appear on the payroll month after month.

Are the movers who show up actually your employees?
Marcus keeps hiring off the books to zero; the roster is full-time staff only. That means the person quoting your job is trained alongside whoever ends up carrying your couch.
Should harvest traffic worry me if I'm booking a September move?
A little, since wine trucks bunch up along 101 most of August through October. Xavier already factors that delay into your day's timeline.
Roughly what would a two-bedroom move across Santa Rosa cost?
By the hour, figure $122 for two movers or $210 for four. Sierra can also turn a set of photos into a flat number if you'd rather skip watching a clock.
Our Windsor subdivision restricts moving trucks to a narrow time slot. How do you manage that?
Xavier reaches out to the community office beforehand so the exact slot is already confirmed. Your crew shows up cleared to work instead of negotiating access at the curb.
List the towns Fast Masters actually services locally.
Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, Windsor, Petaluma, Healdsburg, and Cotati stay on our weekly schedule, and Sacramento, Reno, Portland, and Los Angeles round out the longer runs.
I live near Railroad Square in a mid-rise. Will parking or a dock schedule be a problem?
It shouldn't be. Danielle reserves whatever slot your building requires ahead of time, which spares your movers a long stretch idling until the property manager responds.
Can you prove Fast Masters is licensed to move households in California?
Paperwork is available on request, covering our state registration for household relocations, our federal authority for out-of-state runs, and the coverage that applies to every truck.
My leasing office is asking for proof of insurance ahead of the move. Who handles that?
Pass Danielle a contact name at your building and consider it handled; the paperwork typically lands there days before your crew shows up.
Say I need to hold my belongings somewhere between homes. Do you offer that?
We keep climate-controlled space priced between roughly $105 and $245 monthly depending on size, and redelivery comes from the same people who picked everything up originally.
Fire season is coming up. How much lead time should I give you?
A local booking typically needs about a week. Long-distance jobs, or anything landing in that August-to-October stretch, do better with closer to three weeks of notice.
Suppose something gets damaged along the way. How is that handled?
Coverage defaults to sixty cents per pound of released value. Arrange it beforehand and we'll bump that to one to three percent of declared value, with nine months post-delivery to bring a claim forward.
Does Fast Masters take commercial jobs, like moving a small winery office?
It's a regular part of the workload. A tasting-room back office gets the identical flat-rate quoting process as any household relocation.

A Founder Who Still Drives The Hard Jobs

Six years hauling wine-country deliveries on minute-timed windows taught Marcus what a mover actually needs to get right, and he opened his own crew on Cleveland Ave in 2012 to prove it could be done every time.

One Flat Figure, Written Before We Load

Vineyard-estate gravel driveways, narrow Sebastopol streets, an HOA-timed slot in Rohnert Park — the walkthrough accounts for it, so the number on move day matches the number you signed.

Certificate On File, Coverage Included

Every job we book carries $1M in cargo protection as standard, and our registration as a California household goods carrier is ready to hand to any property manager who wants to see it.

Same Hands, Start To Finish

The crew that wraps your dining table in Santa Rosa is the same crew unloading it in Sacramento, Reno, Portland, or Los Angeles — we don't hand shipments off partway.

What Sonoma County Movers Usually Pay

Pick your home size and where the truck's headed for a ballpark range — Sierra turns it into a signed number once she's walked the job or seen your photos.

Treat this as a starting point — a long gravel driveway, a downtown loading-dock rule, or extra stairs in an older Sebastopol home can move the final signed figure.

From The First Phone Call To The Last Box

  1. 1
    Danielle locks your access window

    Gate codes, a tight Petaluma driveway, an elevator slot downtown — she gets the details down before a crew is ever assigned.

  2. 2
    Sierra writes the flat rate

    Send a few photos or let her walk the rooms with you on video, and most customers have a signed number within hours, not days.

  3. 3
    Your date is booked, not just penciled in

    Wildfire-smoke delays, a harvest-season traffic jam on 101, a late escrow — none of it changes the number you already agreed to.

  4. 4
    Brady's crew runs the whole move

    They've wrangled Healdsburg gravel driveways and narrow Railroad Square stairwells plenty of times before your address ever hit the calendar.
