From Helper to Owner
Our origin story is one of humble beginnings. Kevin Melendez first started in the moving business as a helper, then as a driver, and finally as a contractor. After gaining many years of hands-on experience, he decided to build his own company.
The biggest lesson he gained working in this industry is simple: take care of people. Period. Many of the companies he worked for did not always make that their number one priority, and it often fell by the wayside. Melendez Moving exists to change that.
We try to go above and beyond with every move we perform. Taking care of people and their possessions is our guiding principle. That means not just a well-engineered move, but one tailored to the client and the situation. Our goal is to turn a stressful experience into an easy, even enjoyable one.
A Family Business Built on One Rule
Our origin story is one of humble beginnings. Kevin Melendez started in the moving business as a helper, then a driver, and finally a contractor. After years of hands-on experience, he built Melendez Moving Inc around one simple lesson learned the hard way at companies that forgot it: take care of people. Period.
Today, Lauren and Kevin Melendez run a company where careful handling and real communication are the standard, not the exception. Every move is well-planned, respectful, and tailored to your situation, because we are not just moving boxes. We are looking after the things that matter to you.

Our Guiding Principle: Take Care of People
Every decision we make comes back to this. We are welcomed into customers' homes and trusted to handle their belongings, and we treat that trust as an honor. The reward is the relief and contentment on a customer's face when they see they are being cared for properly.
How We Train Our Crews
We teach every member of our team how to properly disassemble, wrap, carry, pack, and reassemble furniture. Just as importantly, we show them how to treat customers and their homes with the utmost respect and consideration. Uniformed, trained, and ready to work, that is the crew that shows up at your door.
Credentials You Can Verify
We lead with our paperwork because trust in this business is earned with proof, not slogans. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
