King of quality pack and move Profile Image

The King of Quality crews were tremendous teams during the loading of a 16' truck and four (eventually ten Uhaul) bins. The packers carefully wrapped each piece of furniture with a blanket then clear wrapped prior to loading the piece. When I asked that certain light-weight boxes with fragile items be at the top of the pile, the filled the truck and/or bins appropriately. They must be great at playing Tetris, because their packing skills were great, with not an inch of wasted space with a variety of sizes of boxes and furniture. The crews worked well together, were extremely professional, good communicators, efficient when packing a four bedroom/two bath home. I definitely would use them again, and highly recommend them.

Major Neighborhoods in San Jose

San Jose, CA is Northern California's largest city, and it's located right in the middle of Silicon Valley. But besides drawing in tech jobs, its historic architecture and museums like Tech Interactive draw in the culture crowd. And those who prefer the outdoors often trek along the city's many hiking trails, or visit the cherry blossoms at the Japanese Friendship Garden. Given everything San Jose has to offer, the area's local, professional movers are accustomed to helping situate people of all lifestyles.

Downtown San Jose

Downtown San Jose is the center of the city's entertainment, culture, and historic landmarks. You can go sightseeing at the San Jose Cathedral Basilica, take in the exhibits at the San Jose Museum of Art, then finish up the day with dinner at San Pedro Square or a Broadway show at the nearby theaters. Downtown San Jose is pedestrian-friendly with busy streets, so getting around in a big moving truck can be rough. Local movers in San Jose know the streets well and will be your best bet in getting you to your new residence.

Willow Glen

Willow Glen, southwest of downtown San Jose, has a small-town feel compared to the busy metro center. Lincoln Avenue is the neighborhood's main thoroughfare, where you'll find casual dining and many of Willow Glen's iconic vintage signs. The area also hosts a weekly farmer's market and annual festivals for food and wine. Sounds like your new home? Local, professional movers who know the area best can get you to your new place in Willow Glen in time for you to try out the markets by dinnertime.

Santana Row

Santana Row is a chic and upscale commercial district with loads of shopping, a vibrant dining scene, and plenty of entertainment. Visit one of the biggest malls in California at Westfield Valley Fair, see what events are happening in Valencia Park, or take a spooky tour at the possibly-haunted Winchester Mystery House. A shopping and residential area this popular sees a lot of foot traffic, so make sure to rely on local movers who've learned the area's traffic flows and event schedules.

Almaden Valley

You'll find Almaden Valley in southern San Jose, right next to the Santa Cruz Mountains. If you love the outdoors, you'll appreciate the neighborhood's spacious home lots and a wealth of activities to do in the nearby natural areas. You can hike Mount Umunhum or go boating in the Calero Reservoir. Some places pay homage to the area's history as a silver mine, like the boarding house turned restaurant, La Foret. Professional, local movers can expertly navigate the hilly roads in Almaden Valley, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition to your new home.

The 2 young men arrived at our house early, and after showing them exactly what we needed they started working. They had our furniture and belongings loaded into the moving container in less than 2 hours and they made sure everything fit well in the container, and everything was secured in the container.
