The Moving Company Silicon Valley Tech Workers Trust
Mountain View is the epicenter of global technology. Home to Google, Intuit, and dozens of startups along the 101 corridor, this city attracts engineers, product managers, and executives from around the world. When these professionals relocate, they need a moving company that understands tight timelines, home office setups, and the specific logistics of Mountain View neighborhoods.
Beyond its tech identity, Mountain View has a distinct residential character. The Craftsman bungalows of Old Mountain View, the tree-lined streets of Cuesta Park, and the family-oriented blocks of Waverly Park all present unique moving challenges. Narrow driveways, older home layouts, and street parking constraints require experienced crews who know how to adapt.
Every move includes a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for buildings that require it, available upon request. As a licensed mover (USDOT #2551548, CAL-T190721), we carry liability coverage and workers compensation.
Expertise in Mountain View Neighborhoods
From historic Old Mountain View to the apartments near Shoreline, we know every corner of this city
Old Mountain View
Charming Craftsman bungalows and early 1900s homes with character and narrow doorways. Our crews protect original hardwood floors, navigate tight interior layouts, and handle antique furniture with the care these homes deserve. Street parking coordination is standard.
Cuesta Park
Established family neighborhood near Cuesta Park and the Mountain View Library. A mix of ranch homes and renovated mid-century properties. We handle large furniture through standard-width hallways and coordinate with neighbors for truck parking on quieter streets.
Shoreline West
Newer apartment complexes and condos near Google's Shoreline campus. We coordinate with building management for loading dock access, elevator reservations, and COI requirements. Many tech employees moving into these units need fast turnaround on tight schedules.
Waverly Park
Family-centered neighborhood with mid-century single-family homes and top-rated schools nearby. Common moves include growing families upgrading to larger spaces. We handle kid-friendly setups, reassembling bunk beds and playroom furniture before we leave.
Rex Manor
Quiet residential area popular with tech professionals who want walkable access to downtown. Many homes here have been updated with home offices that require careful disconnection and setup of multi-monitor workstations, standing desks, and networking equipment.
Monta Loma
Sought-after neighborhood adjacent to the Googleplex with Eichler and mid-century modern homes. We protect floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept layouts, and radiant heated floors common in Eichler designs during moves.

How Our Mountain View Moving Process Works
A smooth move in Mountain View starts with a clear process. Every step is mapped out before move day to reduce the likelihood of avoidable surprises before, during, and after move day.
Request a Quote
Fill out our online form or call us with your move details. For Mountain View, we ask about downtown condo parking permits near Castro Street, elevator reservations in Shoreline area developments, and whether Cuesta Park or Rex Manor neighborhood access requires advance truck staging due to narrow residential streets.
Pre-Move Planning
We confirm your move date, crew size, and any special requirements. For apartment complexes, this includes COI requests and elevator reservations. For older homes, we plan floor protection in advance.
Move Day Execution
Our crew arrives on time with the right equipment for your Mountain View home. We lay runners on hardwood and tile, pad door frames in Old Mountain View cottages, and wrap furniture before loading. Every piece is positioned per your layout at the new address.
Post-Move Support
When unloading wraps up, we do a walkthrough with you. Our crew reassembles furniture and verifies that pieces fit compact downtown condo layouts, checks any converted garage workspaces, and confirms floor protection is picked up. Our Hayward facility is just 20 minutes away if follow-up service is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Mountain View
Quick answers about tech employee relocations, Mountain View neighborhoods, and moving logistics. For a precise estimate, use the quote form below.
What is the best moving company in Mountain View?
Mountain View residents have rated Ontrack Moving 4.9/5 across 2,847+ verified Google reviews. We handle tech employee relocations, Craftsman home moves, and apartment complex coordination throughout Silicon Valley. Our USDOT #2551548 and CAL-T190721 licensing backs your move with our $10M Protection Tower and standard cargo liability, and we are the only mover with full operations in both the Bay Area and Phoenix metro.
How much does it cost to hire movers in Mountain View?
Moving costs in Mountain View depend on the crew size, volume of belongings, and access conditions at both addresses. Apartment moves with elevator access differ from Craftsman homes with narrow doorways and street parking. Contact us for a free estimate based on your specific move details, and we will provide clear, itemized pricing.
Do you handle Google and tech employee relocations?
Yes. We regularly move Google, Intuit, and startup employees into and out of Mountain View. We understand the fast timelines common with tech transfers, and we can coordinate temporary storage while you search for permanent housing. Our crews are experienced with home office equipment, including multi-monitor setups, standing desks, and networking gear.
Can you move from older homes in Old Mountain View?
Absolutely. Our crews have extensive experience with the Craftsman bungalows and older homes in Old Mountain View and Monta Loma. We use floor protection on original hardwood, padded covers on door frames and banisters, and take extra care with narrow hallways and compact layouts common in these neighborhoods. Eichler homes in Monta Loma get special attention for floor-to-ceiling glass and radiant floor systems.
How far in advance should I book movers in Mountain View?
For best availability, book 2 to 4 weeks ahead, especially for weekends and month-end dates. Mountain View has a high volume of tech-related moves during summer and early fall when new hire classes start. If you need a faster turnaround, reach out anyway, as we sometimes have same-week openings.
Do you offer packing and storage services in Mountain View?
Yes. We offer full packing, partial packing (kitchen only, fragile only), and provide all materials including wardrobe boxes and custom crating. For tech employees arriving before their housing is ready, we offer secure storage with flexible terms. This is common for relocations where the lease start date does not match the job start date.
Can you move me from Mountain View to Arizona?
Yes. Ontrack Moving holds USDOT #2551548 for interstate authority and operates offices in both the Bay Area (Hayward, CA) and Phoenix metro (Peoria, AZ). We specialize in California-to-Arizona relocations with dedicated trucks and no shared loads. Many Mountain View tech professionals relocate to Scottsdale or Phoenix for lifestyle reasons, and we offer direct delivery without the delays of national van lines.

Recent Moves in Mountain View and the Peninsula
A Google employee relocated from a one-bedroom apartment on El Camino Real to a townhouse in Sunnyvale. The apartment complex required all moves to use the freight elevator and finish by 5:00 PM. Our two-man crew arrived at 8:00 AM and had the truck loaded by noon, leaving time for the 15-minute drive and a full unload at the new place. The building HOA at the Sunnyvale townhouse required floor runners in the common hallway.
A family in Old Mountain View moved from a three-bedroom Craftsman to a larger home in Los Altos. The Craftsman had original narrow doorframes that required removing the front door to fit a sectional sofa through. Our crew also disassembled a home gym in the garage, including a squat rack and cable machine. The Los Altos home had a long gravel driveway, so we parked on the street and carried items up 40 yards to the front entry.
A couple in a second-floor condo near Shoreline Boulevard downsized to a ground-floor unit in Palo Alto. They needed the kitchen and home office fully packed while handling the bedrooms themselves. Our packing crew spent the morning wrapping dishware, small appliances, and monitors, then the moving crew loaded and delivered everything the same afternoon.
Showed up on time, got right to work
We had the most amazing experience with movers from Ontrack Moving today. After two separate movers not showing up to help us move, Ima, Sergio and Domingo showed up exactly on time. Got to work right away. Surveyed the house, asked us if there were things they needed to consider and prioritize and got right to work. They were extremely hardworking and careful with our stuff. They got everything safely out of our house and nicely into our new house in 5 hours.

4-bedroom home moved in under 5 hours
Ontrack Moving is absolutely awesome! They were responsive, professional, organized and efficient! We moved from our 4 bedroom 3 bath home to our 3 bedroom 2 bath home about 8 miles away and our moving team of Alex, Samuel, Carlos and Juan arrived on time, did an assessment of our home and what we were moving and immediately got started loading the truck. ... We thought this move would be an all day thing, but were pleasantly surprised we were totally done in less than 5 hours!!

The best moving experience ever
The BEST. Seriously, the best moving experience ever. They were prompt, respectful, respectable, very friendly and F A S T. Initially, I spoke with Sam who was super polite and very helpful, he asked all of the right questions and was very responsive during our communications. ... I even reached to other companies for pricing and they came in under what the others wanted by almost $300. I highly recommend this company.

Got oversized couch through second-floor balcony
Hugo and his team of movers were fantastic! They were well organized, fast, and had great attitudes. I was very impressed with their ability to get my oversized couch into my apartment. The doorway was too small so they got it through my balcony door which was on the second floor. It was a marvelous feat. Well done and I will be using them again.

Six-person crew, one broken foot on a bench
On the day of our move a 6 person crew showed up with Jonathan Andres as supervisor. They got everything loaded in one day despite having to use a shuttle to get from the house to the van on the street. ... Everything was unloaded, unpacked and moved into the house in 5 hours. ... With all the packing, shuttling, loading, unloading, unpacking and move in we had only one damaged item. A foot was broken off a storage bench but that was fixed in 10 minutes. Great job done by all.
