Our Moving Services
Eagle Moving & Storage provides comprehensive services for every type of San Jose move – residential, commercial, local, and cross country. Here’s what our moving team covers.
Residential Moving
Whether you’re moving into a new apartment in Almaden Valley or relocating a five-bedroom home across the Bay Area, our residential moving solutions cover the entire moving process. San Jose features diverse layouts impacting moving logistics – from walkup condos to gated communities with restricted access hours – and our experienced movers coordinate elevator reservations, manage parking restrictions for high-rises, and handle furniture disassembly and reassembly so everything arrives intact.
Local moving labor in San Jose costs between $329 and $735, with hourly moving labor averaging around $88.71. For a full-service local move, expect costs ranging from roughly $498 for a studio to over $4,000 for larger homes. We provide an accurate estimate upfront so you can budget with confidence.
Commercial Moving
San Jose’s tech companies need office and commercial movers who minimize downtime during relocation. Commercial moving minimizes downtime for businesses during relocation, and efficient commercial moving services help ensure quick transitions. Our professional movers handle office and server relocations effectively – disconnecting, documenting, and carefully packing IT equipment with high quality packing materials, anti-static protection, and custom crating.
We schedule commercial moves for evenings or weekends when needed and manage every detail from freight elevator booking to loading dock coordination, so your team can get back to work fast.
Packing and Storage
We offer professional packing services that cover everything from full-home wrapping to partial packing of fragile or specialty items. Professional movers use high quality packing materials for protection – including bubble wrap, custom crates, and reinforced boxes. Packing services can be customized for partial or full home packing, and many companies charge the same hourly rate for packing services. Our packing, moving, and storage services also include unpacking services at your destination for a completely stress free moving experience.
Need a storage unit between moves? Our Bay Area storage solutions include climate-controlled options – essential for electronics, artwork, and delicate furniture – plus move-in/move-out cleaning to satisfy landlord requirements.
How It Works
Getting started is straightforward. Here’s what to expect from your first call through final delivery.
Step 1: Free In-Home Estimate
Schedule a consultation with a San Jose moving specialist. Reputable movers will conduct in-home or virtual surveys before providing estimates – our team assesses the volume of belongings, building access needs, specialty items like piano moving requirements, and your timeline. You’ll receive a transparent, written moving estimate that clarifies what services are included in the price. Get multiple written estimates to compare pricing and scope – we’re confident ours will stand out.
Step 2: Moving Day Execution
On your move date, the same crew that assessed your home arrives with our own trucks, packing supplies, and all necessary equipment. The moving team handles the heavy lifting – careful packing, loading, and transport of all my belongings with the attention they deserve. San Jose moving can involve navigating traffic challenges on major routes, and our local knowledge means we plan the fastest, safest route to your destination. You’ll receive updates throughout the entire process.
Step 3: Completion and Follow-up
At your new location, our movers handle unloading, furniture reassembly, and the unpacking process if you’ve selected that service. A final walkthrough ensures customer satisfaction before we wrap up. Post-move support is available if you need storage services or have follow-up questions – our goal is exceptional customer service from start to finish.

See our moving costs in San Jose page for detailed breakdowns.
How far in advance should I book my San Jose move?
Book moving services early to secure availability during peak times. For residential local moves, 2–4 weeks is ideal during peak season (May through September); commercial or large moves should book 1–2 months ahead. Emergency movers are available every day of the week – A2B Movers operates 24/7 for emergency moving needs, MiniMoves specializes in efficient emergency moves in San Jose, and Pure Moving Company offers same day moving services. Emergency moving services are often in high demand during weekends, so plan ahead when possible.
Are you licensed and insured for San Jose moves?
Yes. Proper licensing is required for moving companies in California – reliable movers must display an active CAL-T number for local moves in California. Eagle Moving & Storage holds CPUC License MTR 0192391 for intrastate moves and USDOT Number 3670248. Movers crossing state lines must be registered with the FMCSA, and we maintain that registration. Legitimate movers need to carry valid liability and workers’ compensation insurance – we carry both, along with cargo protection. Extracting valuation coverage details is essential for understanding liability, so ask your movers to explain coverage options before your move. Warning signs when choosing a mover include demands for large cash deposits – we never require that.
