Custom Crating

Some pieces can't travel in a box. For those, we build a wooden crate to fit.

  • Custom-built wooden crates
  • Framed art and mirrors
  • Pianos and other instruments
  • Oversized and odd-shaped pieces

Materials We Use

Professional-grade supplies, matched to what each item needs.

Quilted Moving Pads

Thick furniture blankets that prevent scratches and dents on wood, metal, and upholstered surfaces during transit.

Foam Padding

Cut foam blocks and sheets that keep electronics and fragile pieces from shifting inside the box.

Dish Pack Boxes

Double-walled cartons with cell dividers designed specifically for glassware and stemware.

Wardrobe Boxes

Hang clothes directly from the rod. They arrive at your new home wrinkle-free and ready to put away.

Stretch Wrap

Holds drawers, doors, and loose parts shut while the truck is moving.

We Pack, You Relax

Packing a whole household is exhausting, slow, and risky. One badly wrapped wine glass or an unsupported flat-screen can mean a claim and a loss you can't replace.

Our packers work room by room and match the box and the wrapping to each item: dish packs for glassware, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, pads for furniture.

Every box gets a label with its contents and the room it goes to, and the crew keeps an inventory of what they pack.

When I needed help with short notice during a home remodel, they came through without hesitation. The team handled all the moving parts seamlessly and even packed up my entire house professionally and efficiently.

Thank you for making my remodel transition smooth and stress-free!”

“I would highly recommend Silicon Valley moving to anyone. They packed and loaded my 3100 sq foot home in los altos and stored it while I was remodelling my home. They wrapped all my furniture with blankets and nothing came back damaged. The movers were very friendly and courteous of my items. I will definitely use them again if I need to!”

Frequently asked questions

Show
How long does professional packing take?

It depends on the size of the home and how much of it is glass, books, and collections. We estimate the packing time along with the move and schedule it ahead of loading day.

Do I need to empty drawers and cabinets before you arrive?

No. If you choose full-service packing, our crew handles everything in your drawers, cabinets, closets, and pantry. We ask only that you set aside personal items you want to transport yourself, such as medications, important documents, jewelry, and anything you will need access to during the move.

Can you pack just my kitchen and fragile items?

Yes. Our partial packing option is designed for exactly this situation. The kitchen is by far the most breakable-heavy room in any home and benefits the most from professional packing. We can also focus on china cabinets, bar carts, artwork, and any other area you identify.

Do you sell packing supplies if I want to do some packing myself?

Yes. We sell individual boxes in all sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, dish-pack cell kits, wardrobe boxes, and mattress covers. We can deliver supplies to your home or you can pick them up from our San Jose warehouse.
