The Moving Company Silicon Valley Tech Workers Trust
Sunnyvale sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to LinkedIn, Yahoo, Juniper Networks, and hundreds of tech companies that draw talent from across the country. When a new hire needs to relocate to Sunnyvale or a growing family upgrades from an apartment on El Camino Real to a home in Cherry Chase, the move needs to go smoothly. Our crews handle hundreds of moves in Sunnyvale each year, from the tree-lined streets of Birdland to the modern complexes near Mathilda Avenue.
Whether you are a tech professional relocating for a new role, a family settling into one of Heritage District's character homes, or a retiree downsizing near Ponderosa Park, we bring the same level of care and preparation to every job. We coordinate with apartment managers for COI requirements, protect hardwood floors in older homes, and handle multi-story walkups along the El Camino corridor.
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 Sunnyvale Neighborhoods
From charming Birdland to the Heritage District, we know every corner of Sunnyvale
Birdland
One of Sunnyvale's most sought-after neighborhoods, with streets named after birds like Nightingale, Robin, and Bluebird. Ranch-style homes from the 1950s and 1960s on generous lots. Our crews navigate the residential streets carefully and protect original hardwood and tile floors common in these mid-century homes.
Heritage District
Sunnyvale's historic heart near Murphy Avenue with Craftsman and Victorian-era homes built in the early 1900s. We bring floor protection, door frame padding, and extra care for narrow hallways and staircases typical of older construction. White-glove handling for antique furniture is standard here.

The Moffett Park Protocol
Office and tech campus relocations engineered for zero business downtime
Sunnyvale's Moffett Park corridor along Mathilda Avenue and Java Drive houses LinkedIn, Juniper Networks, and hundreds of tech companies in Class A office buildings managed by CBRE, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield. We do not ask building managers for the rules. We already have the loading dock clearances, freight elevator schedules, and after-hours security protocols for these buildings on file.
Our $10M general liability coverage meets the insurance requirements for Moffett Park's Class A properties. We deliver COIs typically same-day during business hours, with additional insured endorsements and waiver of subrogation when required by property management.
Every corporate move follows our Friday-to-Monday Protocol: crews arrive Friday evening after business hours, complete the relocation over the weekend, and your team walks into a fully operational office Monday at 8:00 AM. Desks, monitors, and phones are plug-and-play. Server racks are reconnected using Sequential Server Rail Labeling so every cable and switch goes back exactly where it belongs.

How Our Sunnyvale Moving Process Works
A smooth move in Sunnyvale starts with a clear process. Here is how we handle everything from your first call to move day before, during, and after move day.
Request a Quote
Fill out our online form or call us with your move details. For Sunnyvale, we ask about HOA elevator scheduling and loading dock rules at newer townhome complexes along Mathilda Avenue, driveway clearance in the Lakewood Park area, and street parking logistics for apartments near downtown Murphy Avenue.
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 Heritage District homes, we plan floor protection placement.
Move Day Execution
Our crew arrives on time with the right equipment for your Sunnyvale move. We lay runners on hardwood floors, pad door frames in Eichler and ranch-style homes, and wrap every item before it goes on the truck. Furniture lands room by room in your new Sunnyvale home.
Post-Move Support
After the last item is placed, our crew walks the space with you. We reassemble desks and workstations for home offices, verify that townhome elevator padding is removed, and confirm that furniture placement works in each room before wrapping up the job.

What is the best moving company in Sunnyvale?
Sunnyvale families have given Ontrack Moving a 4.9/5 rating across 2,847+ verified reviews.

How much does it cost to hire movers in Sunnyvale?
Moving costs in Sunnyvale depend on the crew size, how much you are moving, and the access at each address. Apartment moves along El Camino may involve stairs, elevators, or long walks. Larger homes in Birdland or Lakewood need bigger crews. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your specific move details, and we will provide clear, itemized pricing.
Do you handle moves for tech employees relocating to Sunnyvale?
Yes. We regularly move new hires at LinkedIn, Yahoo, Juniper Networks, and other Sunnyvale tech companies. We handle cross-country relocations, temporary storage while you find housing, home office equipment packing, and can coordinate with corporate relocation programs. Many tech professionals need fast timelines, and we accommodate short-notice moves when availability allows.
Can you move furniture from older Heritage District homes?
Absolutely. Our crews have extensive experience with Heritage District homes near Murphy Avenue. These early 1900s homes often have narrow doorways, steep staircases, and original hardwood floors. We use floor runners, padded doorway covers, and careful furniture angles to protect both the home and your belongings. Custom crating is available for antiques and fragile items.
How far in advance should I book movers in Sunnyvale?
For the best availability, book 2 to 4 weeks ahead, especially for weekends and month-end dates. Summer months and early fall are busy with tech-related relocations in Silicon Valley. If you need to move on shorter notice, reach out anyway. We sometimes have same-week openings, particularly on weekdays.

Yes. We offer full packing, partial packing (kitchen only, fragile items only), and provide all materials including wardrobe boxes and custom crating for valuables. If you need a gap between move-out and move-in, which is common when relocating to Silicon Valley, we offer secure storage with flexible terms. Short-term and long-term options available at competitive rates.

We serve all Sunnyvale neighborhoods including Downtown Sunnyvale, Birdland, Heritage District, Cherry Chase, Lakewood, Ponderosa Park, Raynor Park, and Ortega Park.

Fifth Floor, Elevator Down, Job Done
Caesar, Francisco, and Victor were very careful, thoughtful, and efficient for my local move. It was a difficult move due to being on the 5th floor with the main elevator being down and the weird stair and door hallway combinations, but the guys got the job done.
