One company packs your home or office, stores your belongings in its own climate-controlled warehouse, and delivers to the destination. No third-party storage facility, no vendor handoff, no finger-pointing if something goes sideways.
What “under one roof” means
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. The same crew that loaded your belongings at origin is the same crew that hands them back to you at the destination.
Silicon Valley Moving & Storage operates a 20,000 sq ft Class A climate-controlled warehouse at 186 Barnard Avenue, San Jose, under USDOT 70719, as a Bekins Van Lines interstate agent. Pack-out, storage, and delivery all run through the same company on the same federal license — for households and businesses, for any duration from a few days to several years.
One Chain of Custody
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.
Our own crews come to your home or office and pack what you want packed.
The same containers go into our 20,000 sq ft Class A climate-controlled warehouse at 186 Barnard Avenue, San Jose.
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. No vendor handoff. The same crew that packs your home loads it into the same containers that sit in our warehouse and ride out on our trucks. Same USDOT 70719 license throughout, as a Bekins Van Lines interstate agent.
Vendor handoff comparison
Every handoff is a place where something can drop, get lost, or argue about who is liable. Fewer handoffs is the entire point.

FAQ
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. The same crew, the same containers, the same liability cover, from origin to destination.
Three reasons. First, chain of custody: there is no third-party warehouse operator who can mishandle your shipment between phases. Second, accountability: one provider is responsible for what comes out of storage, not two with finger-pointing rights. Third, climate: our 20,000 sq ft Class A facility at 186 Barnard Avenue, San Jose is climate-controlled — typical self-storage units hit 120°F+ in summer and damage furniture, electronics, leather, art, and instruments.
Yes. Residential households use this for closing-date gaps, lease bridges, renovations, sabbaticals, overseas placements, and downsizing. Businesses use it for office overflow, FF&E receiving for hospitality and healthcare openings, swing-space during build-outs, and project staging. The chain of custody works the same way regardless: our crews, our warehouse, our trucks (and the Bekins network for out-of-state).
We operate as a Bekins Van Lines interstate agent (USDOT 70719). For out-of-state delivery, the long-haul transport runs through the Bekins network and a Bekins agent handles the destination end. The shipment stays under continuous Bekins coverage during Storage-in-Transit (federal FMCSA term, up to 90 days). Same chain of custody — Bekins-trained handlers throughout.
Residential storage is $95–$125 per 8 ft × 10 ft climate-controlled container per month, billed month to month with no minimum or maximum commitment. Move-in and move-out labor is quoted separately based on the size of the move. Business and FF&E storage is project-quoted based on volume, duration, and services required (receiving, inventory, in-out handling). Contact us for a written estimate.
