Our San Jose Moving Services
Silicon Valley Moving & Storage is a full-service moving company based in San Jose. Every mover on our crews is our own employee, and we never broker a job to another company. Our local movers in San Jose handle moves across the Bay Area, and we also plan long-distance and interstate moves, office relocations and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
ShowHide
What areas does Silicon Valley Moving & Storage serve?
We're based in San Jose and move families and businesses across the entire San Francisco Bay Area: San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, Fremont, San Francisco, Oakland and the cities around them. As an Interstate Agent for Bekins Van Lines, we also handle California-to-anywhere long-distance moves nationwide.
How much does a move cost, and how do I get a quote?
Every move is priced on its own details: home size, distance, packing, stairs or elevators, and any specialty items. Local moves are typically billed hourly; interstate moves are priced by weight and distance. The most accurate way to get a number is a free, no-obligation estimate: request one online or call (408) 941-0600 and we'll walk through your move. For a plain-language breakdown of what drives the price, see our guide on the cost of moving in San Jose.
Is Silicon Valley Moving licensed and insured?
Yes. Our USDOT number is 1962166, interstate moves run under USDOT 70719, and our California license is CAL T 188960 from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. You can check all three at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov and bhgs.dca.ca.gov. We're a BBB-accredited business with an A+ rating, a member of the California Moving & Storage Association, and a Bekins Van Lines Interstate Agent. All moves include basic released-value protection, with Full Value Protection available.
Do you offer storage as well as moving?
Yes. We own and operate a climate-controlled warehouse in San Jose, not a self-storage unit you load yourself. We handle short-term storage-in-transit between move dates, long-term household storage, business and FF&E storage, and specialty storage for wine, art and antiques. Residential storage is billed per climate-controlled vault per month, month to month with no minimum. Pricing isn't published; every job is quoted against your actual inventory.
Can you handle pianos, pool tables, and other specialty items?
Yes. Our crews are trained and equipped for pianos (uprights and grands), pool tables, gun safes, antiques, fine art, hot tubs, wine collections, home gyms, and even home server racks. These items are protected individually, and crated where they need it. Tell us what you have when you request a quote so we bring the right equipment.
What makes you different from a national moving company?
We've been family-owned and family-run in San Jose since 1990, with no franchise and no private equity. That continuity is behind four consecutive Bekins Spire Awards for Excellence in Customer Experience (2021–2024) and the Bekins 2024 Driver of the Year award. You get a local family's accountability with the reach and protection of the national Bekins Van Lines network.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For local Bay Area moves we recommend reaching out 1–2 weeks ahead, and earlier for moves near the end of the month or during summer, when calendars fill fastest. Interstate moves benefit from 4–6 weeks' notice so we can plan your delivery window. That said, we'll always do our best to accommodate shorter timelines. Call (408) 941-0600 and we'll check availability.
