I highly recommend Silicon Valley Moving for your next move. They are a small, local business. For Tom and Chery, every customer seems important to them. Sergio and his crew were on time, polite and professional. Their experience shined as they thoroughly wrapped and covered our furniture to ensure that there wouldn't be any damage during transport. I will be urging all of my family and friends to use Silicon Valley Moving for their moving needs.Review from Lynn C.

We are extremely satisfied with our out of state move through Silicon Valley Moving. Their crew was very friendly, professional and on time. They were careful with our antique furniture, and our bill was as quoted. Highly recommend!Review from JH

Hidden fees and charges! Estimate: 2 guys for $150/hr + $55 fuel charge for 5hrs (4hr minimum). 2 bedrooms and family room. However, you will pay for 2-20min breaks, 1 hr lunch, 1 hour minimum drive time, and billing is rounded up to every 30min.
Start time: 8:45am
20 min break @ 10:30
Truck packed at original location 12:55pm
Drive time to destination location 11min
Arrival at destination 1:45pm, however guys sat in truck for 15min
20 min break @ 3pm
Finished job @ 4:15pm
Total work time: 5hrs 50min
Charged for 8 hrs 45min. ***** rounded the end time to be 4:45pm. Adding 45min as overtime and charged double! Also added 1hr drive time and said her gps shows the guys took a 15min lunch, not an hour. After asking for an explanation for all the extra charges and charging me for their lunch, she offered to remove the extra 30min she tacked on at the end. Stated she would have to talk to dispatch and the foreman "tomorrow" to clarification on their lunch time. I called and emailed the next day and received no response!
Bottom line- over charged over $400 due to hidden fees, paying for non-work time, etc.
Do not use this company!!Review from Nicole N

My family and I met with Sergio and ***, who were both great to work with. I never met ***** in person, but she was so nice and friendly to talk to. The move itself was more seamless than I had originally thought... we moved out of California to Nevada and didn't have any issues with damaged or lost furniture. Couldn't be more grateful for SV Moving & Storage for handling our move despite stormy weather.Review from Conrade R

Tom walked me through the process of setting up a storage account. I got a quote for a monthly charge to store my stuff. Next I scheduled a move date. They came and picked everything up and brought it to their storage facility. They stored my stuff over the covid pandemic, and I just had them bring it all back last week. So it was stored for a little over a year. There was no contract, just monthly storage bills so I could move out at any time. It was fairly affordable and reliable. Will use them again ðŸ‘💪Review from Debra T

The first part of my move was Great. Sergio and his team packed us up very well. From the time Tom Wickmam gave the initial estimate for the local move to include 1 month storage and warehouse handling all was clear and concise. Tom also quoted for the 2nd part of the move to Los Angeles based on 6,000 pounds, all was good. ( Jennifer stated that he was pretty close on his estimates) Then things began to go south when the price increased by over $1400.. Additional Labor charges appeared to be added to the first part of my move when those charges had already been satisfied. After the first part of my move I asked repeatedly for Jennifer to send billing for the second part of the move and was met with many excuses why charges could not be provided. One day before I was to receive my goods I received the inflated charges. I was given the runaround by Jennifer for several weeks thereafter as to why the substantial increase when she previously stated to me that it was based on weight. Well the weight went over by only 100 pounds which should be about $60 per her calculations. To add insult to injury she wanted to deliver my goods a day earlier when I advised her I would not have the keys until 10am the following day, but she had already dispatched the movers to Los Angeles and they were already en route, so she Generously did not charge me for the 2 hours that the movers waited. Also, some of my goods were received damaged and dirty specifically the two chairs that were previously wrapped were delivered unwrapped and dirty. Rear legs broken on the most expensive vintage chair. Already under so much stress on closing my new home, I can't believe that she suggested that I get a storage in Los Angeles to drop my goods so that her moving team could be on there way because I initially did not have access to my home until 2pm the day they were to deliver. What a nightmare! They had my goods, what could I do but pay up and complain later. Little good that did. I would never recommend Silicone Valley Moving to anyone after my horrible experience.Silicon Valley Moving & Storage, Inc. Response

Good day,
We're sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. The charges for your move were billed accurately and delivery was on time. Our company went beyond the call of duty by waiving additional fees for our drivers waiting time since there was a delay in closing on your new home. We received a call by you at 4:50pm the evening before our scheduled delivery asking if we could turn our truck around from Los Angeles (nearly 350 miles away from our warehouse) because you did not receive your keys. You were not billed for the 5 hours our crew was on standby while you were closing on your home.
We wish you the best in your new home!Customer Response

Be honest! I was told I would be informed before the truck left San Jose! None the less, the driver wait time time was 2 hours not 5. My home closed on time, I received the keys only 2 hours later than expected, And I did not ask for the truck to be turned around. Profit over honesty, I get it! Hind sight I would have purchased additional insurance for my damaged goods. May you continue to have a profitable business.Silicon Valley Moving & Storage, Inc. Response

I can't express my gratitude to Silicon Valley enough! When faced with a last minute change in moving plans, they were ever so accommodating! They were prompt, courteous, professional, but most importantly gracious. This move was not an easy one, with several changes along the way, yet they took it in stride and worked effortlessly. They worked well beyond what anyone of us thought the time would take, not complaining once! I can honestly say that by the end of the move, we felt like we were old friends!Review from Klein D

We just completed an office move from SJ to a new building in downtown SJ. It was not a small move either. Everything was completed in 2 days as agreed beforehand. Very impressed and satisfied with their services.Review from Punita S

If you need to store some stuff in the Bay Area, this is the company to use. I wouldn't trust any other company. I visited their facility and I was impressed. Right now they are storing most of my belongings while my house is being remodelled.
