San Mateo is a vibrant city on the San Francisco Peninsula, home to a mix of single-family homes, high-rise condos, and busy commercial districts. Moving in this area comes with unique challenges — tight streets, parking restrictions, and multi-story buildings are common. Our team is trained to handle all of it with care and efficiency.
All Star Movers & Storage is locally owned and operated, fully licensed, and fully insured. We’re BBB accredited and committed to treating every customer’s belongings as if they were our own. That commitment has earned us a loyal customer base across the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley.
Why San Mateo Residents Choose All Star Movers & Storage
San Mateo residents have no shortage of moving companies to choose from. However, not every mover brings the same level of experience, professionalism, and local knowledge to the table. Here’s what sets All Star Movers & Storage apart.
20+ Years of Local Moving Experience
Experience matters — especially in a dense, fast-paced area like San Mateo County. Our crew has handled hundreds of moves throughout the Bay Area, and we understand the specific challenges that come with this region. From navigating the narrow streets of older San Mateo neighborhoods to managing elevator reservations in newer high-rise buildings, we’ve seen it all.
Furthermore, our movers are continually trained in the latest moving equipment, techniques, and safety practices. That means your furniture, fragile items, and valuables are always in skilled hands.
Fully Licensed and Insured
Every move we handle is covered. We are fully licensed and insured, and we offer free insurance coverage that protects your belongings during both handling and transport. You don’t have to worry about what happens if something shifts in the truck or gets bumped during loading. We take all necessary precautions so your items arrive safely.
Competitive Rates and Free Quotes
We believe quality moving service should be affordable. Because of this, we offer free moving quotes with no obligation. Our rates are competitive and transparent — no surprise fees at the end of the move. We also offer flat rate moves for customers who prefer a predictable, all-in price from the start.
Our Moving Services in San Mateo
All Star Movers & Storage offers a full range of moving and storage services to meet the needs of San Mateo residents and businesses. Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment or a large commercial office, we have the resources and experience to handle it.
Residential Moving
Moving your home is one of the most significant events in your life. We treat it that way. Our residential moving service covers everything from carefully wrapping and padding your furniture to loading, transporting, and unloading at your new address. Additionally, we take special care with fragile items, artwork, and antiques that require extra attention.
San Mateo has a wide variety of housing types — Craftsman bungalows, Victorian homes, modern condos, and large suburban houses. We adapt our approach to fit the property, so you never have to worry about damage to your home or your belongings.
Commercial and Office Moving
Business moves require precision and minimal downtime. We work closely with business owners and office managers to plan efficient commercial moves that keep disruption to a minimum. Our team can handle office furniture, equipment, filing cabinets, and more — all moved safely and organized for a smooth setup at your new location.
Packing and Unpacking Services
Not everyone has time to pack an entire household on top of managing a move. Our packing and unpacking services take that burden off your plate. We use high-quality packing materials and proven techniques to protect everything from dishes to electronics. On the other hand, if you prefer to pack yourself, we’re happy to supply the boxes and materials you need.
Short-Term Storage
Sometimes a move doesn’t line up perfectly. There may be a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, or you may simply need a place to store some items temporarily. We offer short-term storage solutions to bridge that gap. Your belongings stay safe and secure until you’re ready for delivery.
Piano Moving
Pianos are heavy, awkward, and expensive — and they require specialized equipment and handling. Our piano moving service is designed specifically for this challenge. We use proper dollies, padding, and lifting techniques to move upright pianos, grand pianos, and everything in between without damage.
Moving to or from San Mateo? Here’s What to Expect
San Mateo is centrally located on the Peninsula, which makes it a convenient hub — but also a busy one. Traffic on Highway 101 and El Camino Real can create delays if you’re not planning ahead. Meanwhile, parking near residential buildings and downtown can be limited, especially on weekdays.
Our team accounts for all of this when planning your move. We schedule moves strategically to avoid peak traffic hours whenever possible. We also scout parking and access points ahead of time to keep things moving smoothly on moving day.
Moving Within San Mateo
Even a short local move within San Mateo requires proper planning. You still need a truck, equipment, and enough helping hands to get the job done safely. We handle local moves of all sizes — from a studio apartment to a five-bedroom home — with the same level of care and professionalism.
Moving from San Mateo to Other Bay Area Cities
Many of our San Mateo customers are relocating to other parts of the Bay Area, including San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and beyond. We serve the entire region, so you don’t need to find a different mover just because you’re crossing county lines. Our team knows the routes, neighborhoods, and logistics across the greater Bay Area.
Moving from San Mateo to Sacramento or the Central Valley
Relocating from the Bay Area to Sacramento, Modesto, Turlock, or another Central Valley city? We handle those moves too. All Star Movers & Storage serves customers across Northern California, so whether you’re heading east on I-80 or south on I-5, we’ve got the experience to make it happen smoothly.
Tips for a Smooth Move in San Mateo
A little preparation goes a long way when you’re moving in a busy urban area like San Mateo. Here are a few practical tips to help your move go as smoothly as possible.
- Book early. Moving companies in the Bay Area fill up fast, especially during peak season from May through September. Reserve your date as soon as you know it.
- Check parking rules. Some San Mateo neighborhoods require permits for moving trucks. Contact the city ahead of time to avoid fines or delays.
- Label everything clearly. Label boxes by room and priority level. This makes unpacking much faster and easier at your new home.
- Declutter before you pack. Moving is the perfect time to donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. Fewer items means a faster, more affordable move.
- Communicate with your building. If you’re moving in or out of a condo or apartment, coordinate with building management about elevator reservations and move-in/move-out windows.
- Confirm details the day before. Touch base with your moving team to confirm arrival time, access points, and any last-minute details.
