All Star Movers & Storage has been helping Bay Area families move for over 20 years. Based in Dublin, California, we are fully licensed, insured, and BBB accredited. We serve San Jose and the surrounding South Bay communities with the same care and professionalism we bring to every move across the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley.
Whether you are moving across town or relocating from another part of the region, our team is ready seven days a week. We treat your belongings as if they were our own — because we know how much they matter to you.
Why San Jose Homeowners Trust Local Movers
San Jose is one of the largest and most densely populated cities in California. Moving within it — or into it — presents unique challenges that a national chain simply may not understand. Local movers who know the Bay Area terrain, traffic patterns, and neighborhood layouts bring a real advantage to your move.
For example, certain San Jose neighborhoods have narrow streets, limited parking, or HOA access restrictions that require careful planning. Additionally, high-rise condos and apartment complexes often have specific elevator reservation windows and loading dock rules. A local team that has navigated these situations before can help you avoid costly delays.
Knowledge of Bay Area Roads and Neighborhoods
Our crew is familiar with San Jose’s neighborhoods — from Willow Glen and Rose Garden to Evergreen and Almaden Valley. We understand how to plan efficient routes that minimize drive time and fuel costs. Furthermore, we know which times of day tend to be congested on I-880, US-101, and Highway 87, so we can schedule your move strategically.
Community-Based Service You Can Rely On
As a locally owned and operated company, we have deep roots in the communities we serve. We are not a franchise or a brokerage. When you call All Star Movers & Storage, you speak directly with our team — not a call center. That means clear communication, honest pricing, and accountability from start to finish.
What Our Residential Moving Services Include
We offer a comprehensive range of residential moving services designed to make your transition as smooth as possible. Our goal is to handle the heavy lifting — literally — so you can focus on settling into your new San Jose home.
Full-Service Packing and Unpacking
Packing is one of the most time-consuming parts of any move. Our team can pack your entire home using high-quality materials that protect fragile items, artwork, electronics, and furniture. We use proper wrapping techniques and label every box clearly so unpacking is organized and efficient. On the other hand, if you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and other moving supplies at competitive prices.
Safe Furniture and Appliance Handling
Large furniture and bulky appliances require careful handling to avoid damage to both the items and your home. Our movers are continually trained in the latest equipment and techniques. We use furniture pads, moving blankets, dollies, and floor runners to protect your belongings and your floors throughout the entire process.
Piano Moving in San Jose
Pianos are among the most difficult items to move safely. They are extremely heavy, awkwardly shaped, and sensitive to handling. All Star Movers & Storage offers specialized piano moving services for upright and grand pianos. We use the proper equipment and trained crew members to move your instrument without damage.
Flat Rate Moving Options
Budgeting for a move can be stressful when hourly rates are unpredictable. Because of this, we offer flat rate moving options for qualifying moves. A flat rate gives you a fixed price upfront, so there are no surprises on moving day. Ask about our flat rate packages when you request your free quote.
Short-Term Storage Solutions for San Jose Residents
Sometimes the timing of a move does not line up perfectly. Your new home may not be ready the same day you vacate your old one. Meanwhile, you need a safe place to keep your furniture and belongings. All Star Movers & Storage offers short-term storage solutions to bridge that gap.
Our storage facilities are secure and climate-controlled, giving you peace of mind that your items are protected while you wait. Whether you need storage for a few days or a few weeks, we can accommodate your timeline. This is especially helpful for San Jose homeowners dealing with escrow delays, home renovations, or staggered closing dates.
Storage and Moving Combined in One Service
One of the biggest advantages of working with All Star Movers & Storage is that we handle both moving and storage under one roof. You do not need to coordinate with a separate storage company or arrange multiple pickups. We move your items into storage and then deliver them to your new address when you are ready — all in one seamless process.
Free Insurance Coverage for Your Belongings
Every move with All Star Movers & Storage includes free insurance coverage that protects your belongings during handling and transport. This is not an add-on or an upgrade — it is included as a standard part of our service. We believe every customer deserves that baseline protection without paying extra for it.
It is important to understand what basic moving insurance covers. Standard carrier liability — often called released value protection — covers a set amount per pound per item. Therefore, we recommend discussing your specific coverage needs before moving day so you have a clear picture of your options. Our team is happy to walk you through the details.
How to Prepare for Your San Jose Residential Move
A little preparation goes a long way toward making your move day go smoothly. Here are some practical steps to help you get ready.
- Declutter before you pack. Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. Moving fewer things saves time and money.
- Book your movers early. San Jose is a competitive market. Reserve your moving date as soon as you know it, especially during peak season from May through September.
- Reserve parking and elevator access. If you live in a condo or apartment, contact your building management in advance to reserve elevator time and designate a loading zone.
- Pack a moving day essentials box. Keep toiletries, medications, chargers, a change of clothes, and important documents in a separate bag you carry yourself.
- Label boxes clearly. Mark every box with the room it belongs to and a brief description of contents. This makes unpacking much faster.
- Confirm details with your movers. A day or two before your move, confirm the start time, address, and any special instructions with your moving team.
Tips for Moving in San Jose Specifically
San Jose has some quirks worth knowing before moving day. First, be aware of street cleaning schedules, which vary by neighborhood and can result in parking tickets if you are not paying attention. Next, check whether your new neighborhood has permit parking requirements that could affect where your moving truck parks. Also, if you are moving during the school year, avoid early morning moves near school zones where drop-off traffic can create temporary congestion.

All Star Movers & Storage is based in Dublin, California — ideally located to serve San Jose and all of the greater Bay Area.
