Storage in San Jose

Climate-controlled storage, full service, for a few days or a few years.

Our crew wraps and loads everything at your home, seals it into a private vault inside our San Jose warehouse, and delivers it back on your schedule. You never rent a unit or drive to one.

20K Sq ft facility8×10 Sealed vaults

Pack. Store. Deliver. Same company. Same warehouse.

Moving and storage under one roof means one company packs your home, stores your belongings in its own climate-controlled warehouse, and delivers them to the destination, with no transfer to a third-party storage facility in between.

  1. 1

    Pack

    Our crews come to your home or office and pack what you want packed.

  2. 2

    Store

    Our truck drives back to our climate-controlled warehouse, and the crew unloads it into a sealed vault assigned to you.

  3. 3

    Deliver

    Our crews deliver locally; for out-of-state, we coordinate Bekins long-haul and a Bekins agent on the destination end.

No third-party storage warehouse. The crew that packs your home loads our truck, unloads it into your sealed vault at our warehouse, and brings it back out on our trucks when you're ready. For an out-of-state delivery, the long haul runs through the Bekins network under USDOT 70719.

Month to month, no minimum
You can keep a vault for a week or for several years, and you can add or release vaults as what you're storing changes.

Six situations that call for storage.

Selling here, buying there
Closing dates rarely line up. We hold everything until the new place is ready for it.
The lease ends before the next place starts
You can't move a move-out date. We pack the house, hold it, and deliver once you land.
Renovating, or staging to sell
Buyers respond to empty rooms, and contractors work faster in them. Get the furniture out, then get it back.
Downsizing, or settling an estate
You rarely decide about every piece at once. Store what you're keeping while you work through the rest.
A year abroad, a sabbatical, a posting
We hold the household until you're back, or deliver it to whichever city you end up in.
Things the house has no room for
Off-season gear, the garage overflow, an office that just became a nursery. Out of the house, retrievable, no lifting.

Storage questions, answered

How does full-service storage work?

We come to your home to wrap, protect, and inventory every piece of furniture and every box, then load it onto our truck, the same process as any SVM move. From there, everything goes to our San Jose warehouse, where our crew unloads it directly into an enclosed Storage Vault assigned only to you, sealed, labeled, and monitored 24/7. When you're ready, contact us to schedule delivery. No truck rental, no lifting, no second trip.

How much does it cost?

Our standard residential Storage Vault is 8 ft × 10 ft and climate-controlled, billed per vault per month with no minimum commitment. What you pay depends on how many vaults your household fills and how long you keep them, so we quote against your actual inventory rather than a flat rate. Call (408) 941-0600 or request a free quote and we'll price your specific load.

What is Storage-in-Transit (SIT)?

Storage-in-transit (SIT) is temporary storage that stays part of an interstate (state-to-state) move, under 49 CFR 375.609. Customers use it when a closing date slips or the new house isn't ready. While your shipment is in SIT the carrier stays liable for it, and before SIT converts to permanent storage the carrier has to tell you in writing that its liability is ending. On interstate estimates the first 30 days are often included. Inside California, SIT is capped at 90 days.

How long can I store?

As long as you need. Some of our customers store one or two pieces for a few days during a renovation. Others store entire households for years during sabbaticals, overseas placements, or multi-year corporate assignments. There is no minimum and no maximum.

Where do you deliver to?

Anywhere in the country. Locally, our own crews and trucks deliver across the Bay Area and California. For out-of-state delivery we operate as a Bekins Van Lines interstate agent, coordinating the long-haul transport and partnering with a Bekins agent on the destination end. Interstate moves run under USDOT 70719.

Can I access my items mid-storage?

Yes. We can retrieve specific items from your storage on request. There's typically a small handling fee for partial retrieval, and we recommend giving us a few days' notice so we can pull the right vault. Full delivery happens on your schedule.

Is the warehouse really climate-controlled?

Yes. Our facility holds a stable, moderate climate year-round, suitable for furniture, electronics, books, photos, leather, art, and other temperature- and humidity-sensitive items. We clean and upkeep the space daily. The building is fire-sprinklered, alarmed, and camera-monitored with controlled access, built and inspected to fire and military code standards.

Are my items insured while in storage?

Coverage during storage depends on whether your items are stored as part of an active interstate move (under Bekins valuation), as part of a local move (under SVM's standard valuation), or as a separate storage contract (warehouse storage liability). Storage liability is legally distinct from transit liability, so we walk you through your specific coverage at booking and explain what each one covers.
