This company helped us do a military move and they went well above and beyond what was expected. All of our belongings were well respected and packed well. They took extra care to wrap every single piece of furniture to ensure they were not damaged during transit. Lourdes, Joni, and Jaime were very nice to talk to and they were professional the entire two days they packed and loaded. Mark was also very nice when going through the pre-move process. I would recommend this company to anyone in the Lompoc, Vandenberg, and Santa Maria area!

Meagan Simmons 18:52 08/29/26

Jaime, Matt, and Cameron were professional, courteous, and friendly while moving my things into my new apartment. They took care when moving things upstairs so as not to damage walls or floors, even around tight corners, and were helpful in arranging things so that I didn't have to rearrange them after they left. I was worried about my animals (dog and cat) with the commotion of moving things in, and in between loads from the truck, they loved on them like their own. I greatly appreciate the service and care, and really appreciate that it took less than a day to get unpacked! Thanks, guys!

Debby Murray 17:46 08/06/26

NO JOB IS TOO SMALL! My husband and I recently purchased 2 double vanities to replace the old ones in the upstairs bathrooms. They came fully assembled and are HEAVY! Despite the fact that my husband is 6'4" and built like a quarterback - it was questionable as to whether he and his friends could get the vanities upstairs without damaging themselves or the vanities. So we called in Lompoc Van and Storage to help. And boy are we glad we did! They were reasonably priced, their crew was very professional and showed up on time, and they got the job neatly and efficiently done. We are very pleased with their services and will definitely call on them again. [Apparently, they provide all kinds of services in addition to helping folks move their belongings from one property to another! For example, they offer packing services and you can hire them to just move furniture from one room to another. So if you are ever in need of even extra help - give them a call!]

This was my 11th and final move in the military that spanned 30 years and I couldn’t have asked for a better company and moving team to handle my family’s personal belongings. Moving is already stressful especially for military families and it was so nice that this part was NOT! Thank you very much.Noel DahlkeCAPT (retired), USN

Mike Gorton 19:39 02/18/21

We used Vandenberg home and storage for a move of only 20 miles. We decided not to load and unload the same day so we loaded on Monday as we were supposed to close for sure on Tuesday. Well Tuesday became Wednesday, then Thursday and then it finally happened on Friday. Jason at the office was a pleasure to work with. He totally understood and was more than willing to work with us. I cannot say enough about how much we appreciated his attitude during this very difficult time. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!! Thanks so much Jason and everyone at Vandenberg Van and Storage.

Lompoc Van & Storage Packing Services

Expert Packing

Whether you need full house packing services or just a few rooms handled, our crews pack household goods, kitchens, décor, electronics, and bulky furniture with professional-grade materials. Many Santa Barbara County homes, especially in older neighborhoods near the Riviera and downtown, have narrow staircases and built-in cabinetry, so our team uses stable wrapping methods that keep boxes from shifting on the way out the door and during transport.

Packing and Unpacking Services

Moving day is long, and unpacking on top of it can wear anyone out. Our packing and unpacking services cover box removal, furniture setup, and organizing essential rooms first so your new home in places like Goleta or Carpinteria feels livable faster, without leaving you buried in flattened boxes for weeks.

Specialty Packing and Crating

From Santa Ynez Valley wine collections to artwork and antiques, we build custom crates, use anti-static wrap for electronics, and add reinforced padding for anything irreplaceable. We also handle packing and shipping preparation for items headed to storage, family, or an out-of-state destination. This matters most for the older homes and hillside properties around Montecito and Hope Ranch, where narrow drives and steep steps mean fragile items need extra protection before they ever reach the truck.

Flexible Scheduling

Packing appointments are built around your timeline, whether that's a few days before your move or a tight deadline during the busy summer season, when Highway 101 traffic and UCSB move-out dates make Santa Barbara County one of the more scheduling-sensitive markets on the Central Coast.

Residential Moving

Packing pairs naturally with a full residential move. Our team handles everything from single-family homes in Goleta to condos near the Mesa, coordinating packing and moving day so nothing sits half-wrapped in a hallway.

Long-Distance Moving in Santa Barbara County

If your move is headed out of the county or across the country, professional packing protects your belongings through hours on Highway 101 and beyond. We pack for the extra handling and transit time long-distance moves require.

Packing Tips for Your Santa Barbara County Move

Lompoc Van & Storage has packed homes across Santa Barbara County since 1959, from beach cottages in Carpinteria to ranch properties out toward Santa Ynez. Here are a few tips to make your own packing easier, whether you’re doing it yourself or working alongside our crew.

Start with off-season items and closets. You can pack winter coats, holiday décor, and guest room closets weeks ahead without disrupting daily life.
Use uniform box sizes where you can. Matching boxes stack more securely in the truck, which matters on the narrow, hillside streets common in areas like Montecito and the Riviera.
Label every box by room and protect anything fragile. Wine bottles, artwork, and glassware need padding and clear labels so they’re handled carefully and arrive in the right room at the other end.

What Makes Packing in Santa Barbara County Different

Santa Barbara County isn’t just expensive to live in; it’s expensive to move through carefully. The median home value across the county reached $1,003,268 as of July 2026, up 3.4% over the past year, according to Zillow’s Home Value Index. Much of that value comes from older housing stock: tile-roofed homes near downtown, hillside properties in Montecito and Hope Ranch, and Spanish Revival houses with built-in cabinetry and narrow original staircases.

Packing these homes takes more than tape and cardboard. It takes a crew that knows how to protect plaster walls, tight stairwells, and decades-old woodwork while still getting boxes out the door on schedule.

Packing Services in Santa Barbara County FAQ

Packing costs vary based on your home’s size, how many rooms need packing, and how many fragile or high-value items you have. As a general guide, national averages are $600 to $2,500 for packing alone on a 2- to 3-bedroom home, according to HomeGuide. Lompoc Van & Storage provides a custom estimate after reviewing your home, so there are no hidden fees.

A professional packing service includes all materials, boxes, tape, protective wrap, padding, wardrobe boxes, and dish packs, along with full packing of your belongings organized by room and an itemized inventory list. Lompoc Van & Storage also offers optional unpacking and furniture disassembly if you want extra support once you arrive at your new home.

Fragile and valuable items get extra attention, including double-boxing, cell kits and dividers for glassware, anti-static wrap for electronics, and custom crating for artwork or antiques. Before packing begins, our crew evaluates each fragile item so the right padding or crate goes with the right piece, which matters for the older homes and hillside properties common throughout the county.

Movers must offer basic liability coverage at no extra cost, which pays out 60 cents per pound per article, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Lompoc Van & Storage also offers Full Value Protection for higher-value shipments, along with a separate declaration option for items worth more than $100 per pound. Our team walks you through these options before your move so you can choose the coverage that fits.

Book three to six weeks ahead when possible, especially during the busy summer moving season across Santa Barbara County. Long-distance moves and homes with many fragile or specialty items benefit from even more lead time, since it gives our crew room to plan the right-size team and bring the right materials.
