Movers Santa Venetia
Moving in Santa Venetia, a short haul from our own warehouse.
Earl Farnsworth Express is family-owned, has worked Marin County since 1971, and loads out of 2111 Francisco Blvd E in San Rafael. Santa Venetia, just east of the Marin Civic Center, is a short haul away.
What the neighborhood asks of a crew
Flat streets, bayfront water and a freeway on the edge.
A national booking site does not know these streets. Our crews do.
Consignment: Santa Venetia
Origin: 2111 Francisco Blvd E
- Where it sits
- Unincorporated Marin County, just east of the Marin Civic Center. Flat residential streets border the San Pablo Bay marshlands, with Terra Linda, Lucas Valley, Marinwood and Marin Lagoon close by.
- Property types
- A single-story ranch near Peacock Gap asks different things of a crew than a multi-story house off Las Gallinas Avenue or a commercial office near the Civic Center. The plan is built around the property, not a template.
- Family homes
- Some Santa Venetia moves start in a long-held family home near Gallinas Creek, where the job is years of belongings to sort, wrap and place with care.
- Water
- The bayfront streets have seasonal flooding considerations, and a local crew knows them firsthand before the truck turns onto the street.
- Roads
- US-101 traffic patterns shape the day, and narrow access roads are common in Marin’s hillside communities. Knowing both in advance is the point of hiring a local crew.
How Farnsworth runs the day
From the walk-through to the last flattened box.
- Estimate
- A walk-through or in-home estimate, scheduled at your convenience.
- Plan
- A customized moving plan that accounts for your schedule, your inventory and any access considerations on your street.
- Arrival
- A trained crew shows up with the right equipment, materials and vehicles.
- Load and haul
- Furniture goes on blanket wrap, rides in air-ride vans, and is secured with proper techniques.
- Delivery
- The crew unloads, places and unpacks at the new location, then removes and recycles the packing materials as needed.
What goes on the truck
Three ways a Santa Venetia move usually runs.
Local moves
Furniture disassembly and reassembly, blanket-wrap protection, liftgate service, and specialized handling for fragile and high-value items. Moves into and out of retirement communities across Marin are sized to minimize disruption.
Storage
If the new place is not ready, goods ride to our 40,000 square foot San Rafael facility, into climate-controlled or containerized storage.
Packing and crating
Full packing and unpacking with professional materials and techniques for fragile, bulky and high-value items. Supplies are available if you would rather pack some things yourself.
