San Mateo County movers, bay side and coast side
Movers for the Peninsula and the coast, Daly City to Portola Valley and Pacifica to Half Moon Bay. 3 movers $175/hr. Call 1-877-417-6060.
Do you move TVs?
Yes. The crew can take a TV off the wall and connect and set it up at the new place, but we never mount TVs on walls.
Is it cheaper with 2 movers?
Two movers are $145 an hour, but for most homes 3 movers at $175 finish sooner. We suggest 2 only for very small moves.
Do you move pianos on the Peninsula?
Yes. A grand or baby grand always gets 4 movers, and a grand piano on its own has a 4-hour minimum. An upright gets 4 movers only when there is a flight of stairs.
One county, two coasts
San Mateo County runs from the San Francisco line down the Peninsula, with the bay-side cities along Highway 101 and El Camino Real and the coastside towns of Pacifica and Half Moon Bay over the hills on Highway 1. Each town below has its own page with local notes. Wherever you are on the Peninsula, morning moves start with an 8 to 10 AM arrival window, and the crew calls about 30 minutes before arriving.
Where Peninsula moves go

From our closed local jobs for direct customers, July to October 2026: the middle half of billed hours by home size, including the drive between your two addresses and excluding account, partner-billed and full-packing jobs. Supplies are charged as used, with a 3-hour minimum.
Bay-side moves along Highway 101 and El Camino Real usually match these ranges, while a coastside move over the hills on Highway 1 adds drive time between the two homes.
