San Mateo is a vibrant city on the San Francisco Peninsula, home to a mix of residential neighborhoods, bustling commercial areas, and everything in between. No matter what type of move you’re planning, All Star Movers & Storage is ready to help make it smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
Why Choose a Local Moving Company in San Mateo?
Not all moving companies are created equal. Choosing a local mover over a large national chain comes with real, practical advantages — especially in a dynamic and diverse area like San Mateo.
Local Knowledge That Counts
San Mateo has its own quirks. From narrow streets in older neighborhoods to busy intersections near the Caltrain corridor, local familiarity matters. A mover who knows the Bay Area can plan smarter routes, anticipate traffic patterns, and navigate tight spaces with confidence. At All Star Movers & Storage, we’ve worked throughout the Peninsula and surrounding regions for over two decades. That experience translates directly into a more efficient, less stressful moving day for you.
Personalized Service Every Step of the Way
Large national chains often treat moves like assembly-line operations. As a locally owned and operated company, we take a different approach. We listen to your needs, customize our services accordingly, and provide friendly, attentive support seven days a week. From your first call to the final box placed in your new home, you’ll deal with real people who genuinely care about your move.
Transparent Pricing and Free Quotes
One of the biggest concerns people have when hiring movers is cost. We believe in upfront, honest pricing with no hidden fees. All Star Movers & Storage offers free moving quotes at competitive rates. We also provide free insurance coverage that protects your belongings during handling and transport, giving you added peace of mind.
Our Residential Moving Services in San Mateo
Whether you’re moving out of a studio apartment near Downtown San Mateo or relocating a large family home in the Hillsdale or Baywood neighborhoods, our residential moving team is equipped to handle it all.
Local and In-State Moves
Moving within San Mateo or to a nearby city? Our local moving services are designed to be fast, efficient, and careful. We handle furniture disassembly and reassembly, wrap and pad your items for protection, and load and unload everything with precision. We treat every piece — from your sofa to your grandmother’s china cabinet — with the same level of care.
Long-Distance Moving
Planning a move beyond the Bay Area? Perhaps you’re heading to Sacramento, the Central Valley, or somewhere else in California. All Star Movers & Storage also handles long-distance in-state moves, so you won’t need to hire a second company when your destination changes. We serve communities across Northern California, making us a versatile partner for any relocation.
Packing and Unpacking Services
Packing is often the most time-consuming part of any move. Our professional packing team uses high-quality materials and proven techniques to safely wrap, box, and label everything in your home. Additionally, we offer unpacking services so you can settle into your new San Mateo space without the mountain of boxes waiting for you. We can also provide all the moving supplies you need, including boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and specialty containers.
Piano Moving
Pianos are heavy, delicate, and notoriously difficult to move. One wrong step can damage both the instrument and your home. Our trained movers have the right equipment and expertise to move upright pianos, grand pianos, and everything in between — safely and without damage to your floors or doorways.
Commercial and Office Moving in San Mateo
San Mateo is home to a thriving business community, including tech companies, healthcare offices, retail shops, and professional services firms. When it’s time to relocate your business, downtime is the enemy. That’s why All Star Movers & Storage offers efficient, organized commercial and office moving services tailored to minimize disruption.
Minimizing Business Disruption
We understand that every hour your business is offline costs you money. Therefore, we work with your schedule — including evenings and weekends — to move your office at the most convenient time. Our team is trained to handle office furniture, electronics, filing systems, and sensitive equipment with care and efficiency.
Flat Rate Moving Options
For businesses that need predictable costs, we offer flat rate moving packages. This means no surprise charges at the end of the job. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before the truck even arrives. For commercial clients in San Mateo, this kind of budget certainty is invaluable.
Storage Solutions for San Mateo Residents and Businesses
Sometimes a move doesn’t go perfectly on schedule. Maybe your new San Mateo home isn’t ready yet, or you need to downsize temporarily. In those cases, short-term storage can be a lifesaver.
All Star Movers & Storage offers secure, short-term storage options to bridge the gap between your move-out and move-in dates. Your belongings stay safe and accessible while you get your new space ready. This is especially helpful for San Mateo residents who are buying and selling a home at the same time — a common situation in the competitive Bay Area real estate market.

All Star Movers & Storage is based in Dublin, California, and serves a wide range of communities throughout the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley. In addition to San Mateo, we regularly serve cities such as:
- San Francisco

What Makes All Star Movers & Storage Stand Out
There are plenty of moving companies to choose from in the Bay Area. So why do so many San Mateo residents and businesses choose All Star Movers & Storage? Here are a few reasons:

Tips for a Smooth Move in San Mateo
Even with the best movers on your side, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are some practical tips to help your San Mateo move go as smoothly as possible.
Start Planning Early
San Mateo is a popular destination, and the Bay Area moving market can get busy — especially in spring and summer. Book your moving company as early as possible to secure your preferred date. We recommend reaching out at least 4–6 weeks in advance for larger moves.
Declutter Before You Pack
Moving is the perfect opportunity to sort through your belongings. Donate, sell, or discard anything you no longer need. The fewer items you move, the more efficient and affordable your move will be. On the other hand, don’t rush this process — give yourself enough time to make thoughtful decisions.
Label Everything Clearly
Label every box with its contents and the room it belongs in. This simple step saves enormous time during unloading and unpacking. For example, marking a box “Kitchen – Pots & Pans” is far more helpful than just writing “Kitchen.” Our packing team does this as standard practice when you hire us for packing services.
Protect Valuables and Irreplaceable Items
Keep important documents, jewelry, and irreplaceable items with you during the move rather than in the moving truck. Additionally, take photos of electronics setups before disassembling them so you can reassemble them easily at your new location.
Confirm Details Ahead of Moving Day
A day or two before your move, confirm the time, address, and any special instructions with your moving company. At All Star Movers & Storage, we keep communication clear and consistent so you’re never left wondering about the status of your move.
