From studio apartments across town to family homes across the country: local moves, long-distance relocations, packing, storage, and everything in between.
Moving is personal. It's your memories packed into boxes, your kids' first bedroom, the table where your family gathers. That's why every SVM crew member is hired, trained, and employed by us directly, and why the person who answers your call is the same family that's been running this business since 1990.
That's the difference between hiring movers and hiring your movers.
How we work
Every move is handled by SVM crews who work for SVM. We don't broker, sell, or hand off your job to another company.
The crew that shows up on move day is on our payroll, trained by us, and accountable to you through us, never an outside contractor we found and dispatched.
Local moves throughout San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and the rest of the Bay Area, billed by the hour with experienced crews and the care your home deserves.
Helping Bay Area seniors and their families navigate life transitions with patience, care, and 36 years of experience. Downsizing consultation, full packing, organization, and estate coordination.
Dedicated trucks between the Bay Area and anywhere in California.

I received a number of confirmations and messages as the dates approached. They even texted on the move day to confirm they were on the way. The crew was friendly and well-informed about my old and new places from my previous conversations with the office staff. I pre-boxed the normal items like dishes, clothes, and clothes. They wrapped everything else from wall hangings, to the TVs, to the furniture items. The estimate didn’t just match the final bill, it actually turned out to be a bit less than estimated. I’d use them again for my next move and recommend them to friends.”

“I only wish I could award 10 stars. The service was excellent from beginning to end. Quick processing of initial quote, on the day of the move the Movers were professional, polite, hard working and most of all they listened. I have a couple pieces of furniture that are delicate and they took great care not only with those pieces but everything they moved. I will use them again and refer them to all my friends and family. Thank you Silicon Valley Moving & Storage !!”

“Silicon Valley Moving was the best choice for our move. From the quote to final delivery, the communication and professionalism were second to none! We were thoroughly pleased with the entire process. The speed in which the packing was done and the loading and unloading of the truck were completed in record time. The guys on the crews were a joy to work with. Friendly and knowledgeable and very hard workers. Since our move was done in the heat of San Jose and the gold country, there was never a complaint about the temperature. Their hard work was appreciated and did not go unnoticed. We would highly recommend Silicon Valley Moving. You get what you pay for, and you will get the best!”

Storage
We pack and load at your home, then seal everything into 8×10 vaults inside our climate-controlled San Jose warehouse until you're ready for delivery. Billed per vault, month to month, no minimum.
Local moves within the Bay Area are billed by the hour, so you pay for the crew and truck for the time the move takes. Long-distance and interstate moves are priced by shipment weight and mileage, handled through our Bekins Van Lines agency. If you are crossing California or leaving the state and your move-in date does not line up with your move-out date, ask us about Storage-in-Transit.
Either works. Many customers pack their own boxes and have us handle the furniture, disassembly, and transport, while others book full packing so the entire home is boxed, padded, and labeled by our crew. Fragile and high-value items like art, glass, and electronics are where professional packing and custom crating pay off most. We walk your home and recommend the right level during your free estimate.
Every interstate move includes Released Value Protection at no charge, which covers 60 cents per pound per article (the federal default). For fuller protection you can upgrade to Full Value Protection, under which we repair, replace, or reimburse damaged items at their actual value. We explain both options in writing before your move so there are no surprises.
For a local move, two to four weeks of lead time is usually enough. For long-distance and interstate moves, and for any move during the busy May through September season or at month-end, book four to eight weeks out so you get your preferred date. We always try to accommodate short-notice moves when our schedule allows.
