Extremely Dependable, Careful, and Efficient Crew
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 things they needed to consider and prioritize and got right to work. They were extremely hardworking and careful with our stuff... Very impressed. All in all if you are looking for an extremely dependable company and workers for your next move, these guys are really really good.

Five-Man Crew, On Time and Professional Start to Finish
Eduardo, Martin, Edgar, Victor, and Juan were the best movers I've ever had. On time, professional, and hard working from start to finish. The estimate I was provided was spot on. They all deserve a huge raise and I couldn't have done it without them!

Outstanding Service at a Great Price
Outstanding service at a great price. I got a quote from another company that was twice as much as OnTrack ended up quoting me for a simple project. They had next day availability, delivered down a one-lane road with trees and the customer was very impressed. Absolutely would use them again, Sam was very helpful and accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Union Square Business Moving
Common questions from Union Square businesses planning a commercial relocation.
The best time for retail moves in Union Square is late evening (after 9 PM) or early morning (before 7 AM) when pedestrian traffic is minimal. We also recommend avoiding major shopping periods like the holiday season. Sunday nights into Monday mornings often provide the longest uninterrupted windows for larger retail relocations.
Yes, we provide complete FF&E services for Union Square hotels including guest room furniture, lobby pieces, restaurant equipment, and back-of-house items. We work floor-by-floor to minimize guest disruption and can coordinate with your renovation schedule for phased deliveries. Our crews are experienced with properties like the St. Francis, Sir Francis Drake, and other historic Union Square hotels.
Glass displays and mannequins require specialized handling. We use custom padding, furniture blankets, and secure strapping for transport. Display cases are moved upright when possible to protect glass panels. Mannequins are wrapped individually and transported in padded compartments. Our crews can assist with repositioning at your new location according to your visual merchandising plan.
Yes, we regularly coordinate moves within the Westfield San Francisco Centre and other Union Square shopping centers. These properties have specific requirements for move timing, freight access, and insurance. We handle all building coordination including elevator reservations, loading dock scheduling, and COI submission to property management.
Absolutely. Many Union Square buildings have corporate offices above street-level retail. We coordinate passage through retail floors during closed hours, typically after 9 PM. This ensures no disruption to retail operations or merchandise. For buildings with separate freight access, we can sometimes work during business hours with proper scheduling.
Union Square experiences heavy traffic during events like the holiday shopping season, ice skating rink period (November-January), and major conventions. We recommend scheduling moves well outside these windows when possible. If a move must occur during busy periods, we work with SFMTA on loading zone permits and schedule for the earliest morning hours.
We provide COIs with fast turnaround during business hours. Historic buildings and shopping centers often have specific endorsement requirements. Send us your building's insurance requirements and we'll customize the certificate. Our standard coverage includes $10M general liability, which satisfies most Union Square property requirements.
Display cases handled with care
Ontrack moved our boutique to a new location on Maiden Lane overnight. They handled glass display cases, mannequins, and all our fixtures without a scratch. We were open for business the next morning as planned. Professional team who understood retail needs.
Handled our FF&E renovation start to finish
During our hotel renovation, Ontrack managed the FF&E for three floors over six weeks. They worked floor by floor to minimize guest disruption, always moving during our quietest hours. The coordination with our renovation contractor was smooth.
Office move above retail went smoothly
Our law firm is located above a retail store on Post Street. Ontrack coordinated everything with the building, moved us after the store closed, and had us fully operational by Monday. The building coordination and COI process was handled before we even had to ask.
