San Jose Mover Reviews
They was very nice and didn’t break any thing moved everything correctly
On time, very nice, worked hard, put much more into pod then expected
Joseph and the crew were amazing. They were professional and so polite. They made our move a joy. I highly recommend them as a qualified crew.
The first two guys helping me load up were there early, and went over exactly what needed to be taken and what was to be left. When they started they just kept taking and loading up the trailer… before I knew it they were finished!! Finished a half hour early. Great guys, polite and thorough. When I got to my new place, the other two movers were already there waiting. We spent a half hour looking for the right dam apartment, which was the management’s fault, then they started to unload. These guys had to haul the stuff up a flight of stairs, but they also finished on time. I’ll use this company again without question! Thanks guys!!
Can I please say the 2 guys that came were the sweetest, polite and warm people I have met in a while. They were early and were waiting for me which is a blessing in my case anyway. They 100% took care with my belongings as they removed from my storage and loaded properly in the truck. I am extremely HAPPY with the entire experience and I ENCOURAGE STRONGLY that you hire them for ANY job you may have because you will be more than happy you did trust me.
The movers were on time and did a very good job with the move.
Good

Major Neighborhoods in San Jose
San Jose, CA is Northern California's largest city, and it's located right in the middle of Silicon Valley. But besides drawing in tech jobs, its historic architecture and museums like Tech Interactive draw in the culture crowd. And those who prefer the outdoors often trek along the city's many hiking trails, or visit the cherry blossoms at the Japanese Friendship Garden. Given everything San Jose has to offer, the area's local, professional movers are accustomed to helping situate people of all lifestyles.
Downtown San Jose
Downtown San Jose is the center of the city's entertainment, culture, and historic landmarks. You can go sightseeing at the San Jose Cathedral Basilica, take in the exhibits at the San Jose Museum of Art, then finish up the day with dinner at San Pedro Square or a Broadway show at the nearby theaters. Downtown San Jose is pedestrian-friendly with busy streets, so getting around in a big moving truck can be rough. Local movers in San Jose know the streets well and will be your best bet in getting you to your new residence.
Willow Glen
Willow Glen, southwest of downtown San Jose, has a small-town feel compared to the busy metro center. Lincoln Avenue is the neighborhood's main thoroughfare, where you'll find casual dining and many of Willow Glen's iconic vintage signs. The area also hosts a weekly farmer's market and annual festivals for food and wine. Sounds like your new home? Local, professional movers who know the area best can get you to your new place in Willow Glen in time for you to try out the markets by dinnertime.
Santana Row
Santana Row is a chic and upscale commercial district with loads of shopping, a vibrant dining scene, and plenty of entertainment. Visit one of the biggest malls in California at Westfield Valley Fair, see what events are happening in Valencia Park, or take a spooky tour at the possibly-haunted Winchester Mystery House. A shopping and residential area this popular sees a lot of foot traffic, so make sure to rely on local movers who've learned the area's traffic flows and event schedules.
Almaden Valley
You'll find Almaden Valley in southern San Jose, right next to the Santa Cruz Mountains. If you love the outdoors, you'll appreciate the neighborhood's spacious home lots and a wealth of activities to do in the nearby natural areas. You can hike Mount Umunhum or go boating in the Calero Reservoir. Some places pay homage to the area's history as a silver mine, like the boarding house turned restaurant, La Foret. Professional, local movers can expertly navigate the hilly roads in Almaden Valley, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition to your new home.

Bob and Purcell are simply awesome. They worked hard and did not take a break. Moreover, Bob is a pod-packing genius. They get my highest recommendation.
Alfa Moving was a huge help when we needed to move our Upack cubes from Oakland to Emeryville. Our items were handled with care, and expediently moved from a busy garage to our upper level apartment. I highly recommend Alpha Moving for anyone moving who wants professionals who are familiar with the Bay Area.
They arrived on time, worked hard and quickly. 16’ POD was about 3/4 full including furniture and many boxes all stacked to the top. They had it all unloaded and in the house in under 3 hours. Very satisfied with their work.
