Full-service moving solutions for Florence families and businesses — local expertise, professional care, and a commitment to making every relocation seamless.

Florence sits at the gateway to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area where the Siuslaw River meets the Pacific, offering a stunning blend of coastal beauty, historic Old Town charm, and a growing residential community that attracts retirees, families, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the country. Moving in or out of Florence requires a company that understands this unique central coast city and the logistical realities that come with its location. Cal’s Moving & Storage is that company.

Whether you are relocating within Florence, moving to the area from out of state, or heading to a new destination beyond the coast, our team delivers reliable, careful, and affordable moving services tailored to your needs. We bring years of experience serving Oregon communities and deep familiarity with the central coast’s roads, weather, and neighborhoods.

Florence Is Home — And We Know It Like the Back of Our Hand

The Florence area is home to roughly 9,400 residents spread across a varied landscape that includes the historic Old Town district along the Siuslaw waterfront, established neighborhoods on the hillsides above the river, the planned community of Three Rivers, and rural properties extending toward the dunes and the coast. Housing ranges from charming cottages in Old Town to modern developments along Highway 101, waterfront homes with river views, and spacious properties in the surrounding countryside.

Our movers know this area inside and out. We understand which neighborhoods have narrow streets and limited truck access, where the tricky driveways are, which routes avoid congestion through the Highway 101 corridor, and how seasonal patterns affect moving logistics throughout the year.

Moving in Florence — What Makes It Different

Coastal Weather

Florence receives significant rainfall and fog is common, especially near the river and coast. Salt air can affect exposed metal and wood. Our crew arrives prepared with waterproof covers, tarps, and moisture-resistant wrapping.

Dunes and Sandy Terrain

Properties near the Oregon Dunes can have sandy driveways and access roads that challenge heavy trucks. Our pre-move assessment identifies terrain conditions and plans appropriate vehicle selection and access strategies.

Highway 101 Corridor

Highway 101 is the primary artery through Florence, carrying both local and tourist traffic. Summer weekends bring congestion that can slow moves. We schedule strategically and know the local alternatives to keep your move on track.

We Know Florence — Neighborhoods We Serve

Our team covers every part of the Florence area including historic Old Town and the Siuslaw waterfront, the residential neighborhoods along Rhododendron Drive and Highway 101, Three Rivers and the planned communities south of town, the Heceta Beach and Dunes City areas, rural properties along North Fork Siuslaw Road and Mapleton, and nearby communities including Dunes City, Gardiner, Reedsport, and Mapleton.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Florence

How far in advance should I book movers in Florence?

We recommend booking two to four weeks ahead, especially for summer moves and end-of-month dates when demand peaks. Earlier booking gives you the widest choice of dates and crews. If you are on a tighter timeline, still call us — we will always do our best to fit in shorter-notice Florence moves.

How much does it cost to hire movers in Florence?

The cost of a Florence move depends on home size, how far you are going, and add-ons like packing or storage. Cal’s gives free written, in-person estimates so you see the full picture before you commit, and we never give binding quotes over the phone. See our Oregon moving costs guide for how pricing works.

Are your movers licensed and insured?

Yes. Cal’s Moving is fully licensed by the Oregon Department of Transportation and carries full insurance for every Florence move. We operate under our own ODOT-approved tariff, our crews are background-checked, and we can provide a certificate of insurance whenever a building or HOA requires one before move day.

Can you handle vacation homes and coastal properties in Florence?

Yes. Florence has many vacation homes, retirement properties, and second homes along the coast and the Siuslaw River. We move them regularly — coordinating access, protecting furnishings from sand and salt air, and working with rental-managed or gated communities. Whether it is a primary home or a vacation property, we plan around coastal access.

Do you offer packing services in Florence?

We do. Choose full-service packing where our crew handles everything, partial packing for just the fragile or awkward items, or pack yourself and leave the heavy lifting to us. We bring quality boxes and materials, and we can also unpack at your new Florence home so you settle in faster.

Can you move a piano or other specialty items in Florence?

Yes. We have specialized equipment and trained crews for pianos, gun safes, antiques, pool tables, and other heavy or fragile items. These pieces are padded, protected, and moved carefully through stairs, doorways, and tight spaces. Just mention any specialty items when you book so we send the right crew and gear.

Can you handle a move between Florence and the Willamette Valley?

Absolutely. Florence sits on the central coast with Highway 126 connecting it to Eugene, and moves to and from the valley are routine for our crews. We plan the route and timing around the coast-range drive, and protect your belongings for the longer haul.

Do you offer storage for a Florence move?

Yes. If your move-out and move-in dates do not line up — a gap between closing dates or a delayed move-in — we offer secure short-term and long-term storage. Your belongings stay protected in our facility and we deliver them to your new Florence home when you are ready, so a scheduling gap never holds up your move.

Do you handle long-distance moves from Florence?

Yes. Along with local Florence moves, we handle long-distance and out-of-state relocations. Whether you are moving across Oregon or across the country, we plan the logistics, protect your belongings, and keep you updated along the way. See our long-distance moving page for how interstate moves work.

What areas of the central coast do you serve?

We serve Florence and the surrounding central Oregon Coast, including Dunes City, Mapleton, Yachats, Reedsport, and the communities along Highway 101, plus inland routes toward Eugene. If you are not sure whether we reach your area, just call and we will let you know right away.
