Moving furniture in the Sacramento Valley comes with its own set of challenges. Summer temperatures in Chico and Yuba City routinely push past 100°F, which can warp wood veneer, crack finishes, and stress upholstery if pieces sit in a hot truck too long. Add in the historic Victorians and craftsman bungalows lining Chico's Avenues neighborhood with their narrow staircases, ranch-style homes in Yuba City and Sutter County, and the long gravel driveways and steep grades common in Paradise, Magalia, Cohasset, and the Butte County foothills, and you've got a moving job that takes real local know-how, not just muscle.
We're also seeing a steady wave of families relocating from the Bay Area into the Valley for more affordable housing, and they often arrive with oversized sectionals, king bed frames, and furniture sized for bigger coastal homes that needs to be disassembled and reconfigured to fit a smaller Chico or Yuba City floor plan. Our furniture moving service covers all of it: complete disassembly of beds, tables, shelving units, desks, and entertainment centers; individual blanket wrapping for every piece; shrink-wrap protection for upholstered items; and full reassembly at your destination. We bring socket sets, Allen keys, screwdriver kits, and power tools to handle any brand — from big-box flat-pack to custom-built heirloom pieces.
Whether it's a single gun safe moved from a garage in Yuba City, a full living room relocated across Chico, or an antique dining set that's been in the family for generations, our crews have the equipment and experience to do it right. Murdock’s Moving & Storage is locally operated, licensed and insured, and backed by verified insurance coverage (USDOT 3421940 / MC 1416634). We treat every piece of furniture we touch like it's headed into our own home.
THE WORK / NOT THE SALES PITCH
What the Crew Plans For.
Blanket Wrapping Every Piece
Every item of furniture gets individually wrapped in thick, quilted moving blankets. Upholstered pieces get additional shrink-wrap protection against dust and moisture.
Antique & Heirloom Handling
Irreplaceable antiques, family heirlooms, and high-value furniture get extra padding, corner protectors, and careful navigation through tight or historic doorways.
Valley Heat-Smart Handling
Sacramento Valley summers routinely top 100°F. We plan load order and transit time to limit how long wood, veneer, and upholstered furniture sit exposed to heat.
Foothill & Rural Access Experience
Long gravel driveways, steep grades, and tight turnarounds in Paradise, Magalia, and Cohasset are familiar territory. We measure, plan, and execute to get furniture safely in and out.
Single-Item Moves
Don't need a full house move? We handle single-item pickups and deliveries for sofas, dressers, gun safes, pool tables, and other heavy furniture across the Sacramento Valley.

Disassemble & Wrap
Our crew disassembles what needs it, individually blanket-wraps every piece, and shrink-wraps upholstered items for protection against dust, moisture, and Valley heat.
Safe Transport
Furniture is loaded, strapped, and positioned to prevent shifting, then transported directly across Chico, Yuba City, or wherever the Sacramento Valley takes you.
Placed & Reassembled

How much does furniture moving cost in Chico and Yuba City?
Furniture moving costs depend on the number and type of items, distance, and access challenges like stairs, narrow doorways, or a long rural driveway. We provide free, custom quotes for every job. Try our online moving cost calculator for a ballpark estimate, or call (530) 804-5893 for an exact quote — charges explained in the written quote.
Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes, disassembly and reassembly are included in our furniture moving service. Our crews bring a full toolkit — socket sets, Allen keys, screwdrivers, and power tools — to handle beds, tables, desks, entertainment centers, shelving units, and more. All hardware is bagged and labeled so nothing gets lost.
Can you move a single piece of furniture?
Yes, we offer single-item furniture moves for sofas, dressers, gun safes, pool tables, dining tables, and other pieces. You don't need to book a full household move — tell us what needs moving and we'll provide a quick, straightforward quote.
How do you protect furniture during the move?
Every piece of furniture we move is individually wrapped in thick, quilted moving blankets, with upholstered items like sofas and chairs also getting shrink-wrap protection. Table legs, glass tops, and decorative elements are padded separately, and everything is strapped down in the truck to prevent shifting.
Can you move antique or high-value furniture?
Yes, our crews handle antique, heirloom, and high-value furniture with extra care, including additional padding layers, corner protectors, and custom wrapping techniques. Let us know about antiques when you request your quote so we can plan the right level of protection.
What if my furniture won't fit through the doorway or up our driveway?
This comes up often, especially in Chico's older Avenues neighborhood with narrower doorways and in foothill communities like Paradise, Magalia, and Cohasset with long gravel driveways or steep grades. Our crews can remove doors and hinges, disassemble furniture further, angle pieces through tight turns, or stage a smaller shuttle vehicle where a full-size truck can't reach.
Do you assemble IKEA and flat-pack furniture?
Yes, we assemble IKEA, Wayfair, and other flat-pack furniture, whether it's a new purchase or an existing piece that needs disassembling for a move. We're seeing this often with families relocating from the Bay Area who need larger furniture reconfigured to fit a smaller Chico or Yuba City home.
