Silver Certified
Compassionate Moving for Life's Transitions
For 36+ years, Silicon Valley Moving & Storage has helped Bay Area seniors and their families navigate one of life's most meaningful transitions — with patience, expertise, and genuine care.
More Than a Move
A Life Transition, Handled with Care
Downsizing is rarely just about boxes. Every room holds decades of memories — the dining table where family gathered, the bookshelf built up over a lifetime, the keepsakes that tell a story only your family knows. For many seniors and their adult children, the process is as emotional as it is logistical.
Our Silver Certified team understands this deeply. We listen to your loved one, we work at their pace, and we treat every item with the reverence it deserves. Decisions are never rushed. Feelings are never dismissed.
From the first in-home consultation through the final box unpacked and the pictures hung on the walls of the new home, we handle every detail so your family can do what matters most — be present for each other during this important chapter.
Our Services
What We Handle
From the first conversation to the moment your loved one walks into their new home, we coordinate every detail.
Downsizing Consultation
Every senior move begins with a free in-home visit. We sit down with your loved one, listen to their needs, and build a personalized plan that honors their pace and priorities — never ours.
- ✓Free in-home assessment and planning session
- ✓Personalized timeline built around your loved one
- ✓Respectful guidance through difficult decisions
Full Packing & Unpacking
Our team professionally packs every item using premium materials — with extra care for the fragile and sentimental pieces that can never be replaced. At the new home, we unpack everything and remove all packing materials.
- ✓Premium packing materials for fragile and sentimental items
- ✓Full unpacking at the new home
- ✓All packing materials removed when we're done
Estate & Donation Coordination
Deciding what to keep, what to let go, and where things should go is one of the hardest parts of downsizing. We help sort belongings thoughtfully and coordinate with trusted local partners to handle the rest.
- ✓Sort into keep, donate, sell, and store categories
- ✓Coordinate with Bay Area charities for donation pickup
- ✓Connections to estate sale professionals
Organization & Setup
We don't just unpack boxes — we set up a home. When your loved one walks through the door, it should feel like theirs. Familiar, comfortable, and ready to live in from day one.
- ✓Furniture placed according to your loved one's wishes
- ✓Kitchen organized, pictures hung, bed made
- ✓A home that feels like home from the very first night

What Our Certification Means for Your Family
Silver Certified is Bekins' senior-moving certification — training built specifically for the realities of senior relocation. Every member of our team has completed specialized instruction in sorting and downsizing protocols, fragile heirloom handling, family coordination, and senior-community move-in procedures.
Silver Certified crews are held to a compassionate-service code that puts your loved one first. The certification means our team has been trained, tested, and held accountable for this specific kind of work — sorting, packing, and settling a lifetime of belongings with the patience and protocol the work deserves.

Senior Moving Reviews
Families We've Helped
“Cheri, Joey and their team are awesome. They moved my mother-in-law from a two bedroom space into a large studio. They were on time, efficient, organized, personable, extremely polite, fun to work with, and handled the job quickly. I would recommend them for any job, big or small!”

“This has been a wonderful company to work with. Six years ago, they moved our Mom out of her home into a senior living facility and carefully packed and stored some of her larger antiques. We recently emptied the items they had been storing — everything was perfect. Highly recommended.”
Robert & Susan M.

“The service was excellent from beginning to end. 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 delicate furniture and they took great care not only with those pieces but everything they moved.”

For Families
We're Here for the Whole Family
If you're coordinating a parent's or grandparent's move from across the Bay — or from across the country — you know how heavy that weight can feel. The logistics are real, but so is the emotional load: wanting to be fully present while managing a hundred moving parts at once.
We believe your job on moving day should be to be with your family — not to direct traffic, manage boxes, or solve problems. That's our job. We step in as a trusted partner so you can step back and be a son, a daughter, a spouse.
Our team has worked with hundreds of Bay Area families in exactly this situation. We communicate clearly, handle every detail proactively, and keep you informed without overwhelming you. When we're done, you'll walk into a home that's ready — and your family can focus on what this transition is really about.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Storage
Downsizing happens in stages.
Not everything needs to go at once. We can pack and store the items your family wants to keep — month to month, climate-controlled, retrieved when ready. Especially common during multi-stage downsizing or estate transitions.
