Cal’s Moving & Storage handles full-service residential moves throughout Florence and the central Oregon coast. Whether you are moving from a single-story Heceta Beach home, a multi-bedroom property in North Florence, or a Siuslaw River condo, we send a properly sized crew, the right truck, and the protective equipment that coastal moves actually need. Here is what to expect when you hire us for a Florence residential move.

Florence is roughly a 75-mile drive from Cal’s Corvallis headquarters via OR-99W and OR-126 through Mapleton, so we book Florence moves with a little more lead time than our in-valley jobs to make sure crews and trucks are positioned for the coast. The drive is part of the job and we handle it — you do not pay for our drive time the way you might with movers who tack on hourly travel charges from inland origins.

The other Florence-specific factor: the coastal climate. Salt air, persistent moisture, and (in the dunes neighborhoods) wind-driven sand all affect how we wrap and load. Upholstered furniture, electronics, mattresses, and wood pieces get extra protective wrapping for any move that involves coastal exposure on either end. We also bring floor protection for homes near the dunes that tend to track sand — small detail, but it matters when we are walking back and forth all day.

What Our Florence Residential Service Includes

A full-service residential move with Cal’s includes pre-move planning and a binding written estimate, professional crew sized to your home, fully equipped truck with floor protection, blankets, dollies, and straps, disassembly and reassembly of beds, tables, and standard furniture, basic cargo protection on every move, appliance handling (we move standard appliances; certain disconnect/reconnect work like gas lines requires a licensed contractor), and a final walkthrough before we leave so nothing is missed.

Moving From Different Florence Home Types

Florence has a varied housing stock and our crews adapt to each. Single-story homes in Old Town and central Florence (the most common type) are usually straightforward but often have older floors that need extra protection. Multi-story Siuslaw River condos require elevator coordination and tight stair navigation. Heceta Beach mobile homes and modular properties are quick to load but need special attention to fragile interior walls. Newer North Florence single-family homes have the most contemporary access. We size the crew and equipment to fit the property type.

Protecting Your Belongings From Coastal Moisture

Coastal Florence properties absorb moisture in a way inland homes do not, and items moving in or out of the coast benefit from extra protection. We wrap upholstered furniture in protective blankets and shrink-wrap, seal mattresses in protective covers, and use moisture-resistant wrapping for electronics, art, and wood pieces during loading. The wrapping stays on through transit so items arrive at the new home dry and protected. This is a small thing that makes a real difference for coastal-origin moves.

Florence Areas We Serve

We move customers throughout the Florence area, including:

  • Old Town Florence — the historic district along the Siuslaw River, including the Bay Street commercial corridor and the older single-family streets nearby
  • Heceta Beach — the coastal residential area north of town, including the mobile home parks and beachfront properties
  • North Florence — the newer single-family developments north of the Siuslaw River bridge along Highway 101
  • South Florence — properties along Highway 101 south of town toward the Oregon Dunes
  • Glenada and Westlake — smaller communities just outside Florence proper
  • Surrounding Lane County coast — including Yachats, Mapleton, and the Highway 101 corridor

What to Expect on Move Day in Florence

On a typical Florence residential move day, the crew arrives at your scheduled window, walks the home with you to confirm what is going and what is staying, applies floor protection in high-traffic paths, and starts loading the truck systematically (heaviest and largest first, lightest and most fragile last). Disassembly happens on-site for beds, tables, and oversized furniture. Once loaded, the crew drives to your new home and reverses the process, placing furniture according to your direction and reassembling. We do a final walk-through with you before leaving.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Florence

How much does a residential move in Florence cost?

Florence residential moves are billed hourly for local moves and by weight-and-distance for interstate. Typical local move ranges: a 2-bedroom home runs $700–$1,300; a 3-bedroom home runs $1,000–$1,800; a 4-bedroom home runs $1,500–$2,800. A binding written estimate is provided before move day — the price quoted is what you pay.

How long does a typical Florence home move take?

Most 2–3 bedroom Florence local moves complete in a single day (6–9 hours). Larger 4–5 bedroom moves sometimes take two days, particularly when packing services are included. We give a specific time window in your written estimate.

Do you move appliances?

Yes — we move standard residential appliances (refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc.). Disconnect and reconnect work for gas lines and water lines should be done by a licensed contractor before move day, but we handle the physical move and placement of the appliance itself.

Can you move us on weekends?

Yes. We schedule Florence moves on weekends regularly. Weekend slots in May through September fill up earliest — we recommend at least 2–3 weeks of lead time for summer weekends.

Do you provide moving insurance?

Every Cal’s move includes basic released-value cargo coverage at no additional charge. Full-value protection is available as an upgrade for higher-value belongings — we discuss valuation options as part of the estimate.
