Ben and his crew were unphased by the scope of the job I was asking them to do. This wasn't the typical move! They were to move all manner of ranch and animal stuff from one ranch to another. 22 years of stuff. Alfa Moving was on time, worked their hearts out and never complained about the cobwebs, dirt, and sheep poop! Thank you so much, Ben! I recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat!!

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.

Paradise Moving & Storage LLC was so professional. They touched base with me to confirm what types of objects I was moving a few days prior to the move. They called me when they were on their way to the house and showed up on time. They moved quickly and wrapped all of my furniture up to protect it. They were polite and hard working. I was very impressed with them and have recommended them to a few friends already. I highly recommend.

I had a really tough job. It was a 2800 sq foot home with large furniture, a mirrored buffet, and 40-50 boxes. It was a ton of stuff. They came at 9am and packed all the boxes, wrapped all the furniture, and everything got to my new home without a scratch. These guys worked late, and were always moving. They worked very hard. The window was 8am-10am, got there at 9am and were just moving till very late. Did not break or scratch a thing, they are very professional. I would use them for my next move! 5 stars, I was very pleased. It is worth the extra few bucks if you have nice stuff!!!

Real Advice from Santa Clara Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Santa Clara. (They’re really nice!)

"When moving into or out of Palo Alto, check with the City Hall regarding parking permits for moving trucks or PODS to avoid fines, especially in areas with restricted parking. For truck rentals, U-Haul on El Camino Real and Budget Truck Rental on the same street are reliable sources with a good selection of trucks; booking in advance is recommended. When driving a large rental truck, it’s advisable to use major roads like Alma Street or Middlefield Road instead of busy streets like University Avenue."

Major Neighborhoods in Santa Clara

Santa Clara, the heart of Silicon Valley, is home to major companies like Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, and computer enthusiasts flock to the Intel Museum for a journey through tech history. But tech isn’t this city’s only appeal — California’s Great America amusement park attracts thrill-seekers from all over, and the Levi’s Stadium is a paradise for football fans. Relocating to Santa Clara is exciting but comes with its share of challenges. Choosing the right Santa Clara movers will make for a hassle-free transition.

Agnew

Agnew is a peaceful neighborhood with easy access to the freeway and a strong sense of community. You’re just a stone’s throw from Agnews Historic Park, a beautiful 14.5-acre outdoor paradise on the Oracle Santa Clara campus. Stop by Mikayla’s Café and Catering for the local favorite breakfast, or head over to Last Chance Restaurant to enjoy a slice of pizza (or two). If you’re moving to Santa Clara and the Agnew community, choose movers who can easily get your goods to your new digs.

Downtown Santa Clara

Downtown Santa Clara is where the energy of Silicon Valley meets small-town charm. Locals love the convenience of having everything within walking distance, from the mix of casual and upscale restaurants (Bloom serves superb breakfasts and cocktails) to shopping options like Westfield Valley Fair. Living downtown means easy access to Santa Clara University and the tech corridor, but the busy streets are best handled by an experienced Santa Clara moving company that understands the area.

Rivermark

Rivermark is a master plan community sitting on 145 acres. Rivermark Village is THE destination here. A handy all-in-one hub where you can get your hair done, stop by the bank, or grab a bite to eat. Discover your next favorite book at Rivermark Library, then head over to Fantasia Coffee & Tea with your latest find to get some reading done. Outdoor spaces can be found at Thamien Park and Live Oak Park. Rivermark isn't as busy as the downtown area, but hiring the right packers and movers in Santa Clara to help you settle in can be a lifesaver.

The Old Quad

Noted for its historic homes and landmarks, The Old Quad neighborhood is a prime location if you want to be close to the action yet far enough away to enjoy quiet suburban living. This charming neighborhood provides easy access to the San Tomas Expressway and a Caltrain station, making it a great option for commuters. If you're relocating to the area, there are plenty of moving companies in Santa Clara to make your transition a smooth one — welcome to The Old Quad—where tradition meets today.
