If you’ve ever had to relocate to a new home that didn’t have a lot of space, you’ve probably had to rent find storage for your belongings. A storage unit can be an invaluable resource but there are things that you should never put into storage. Here is a list from one of the best moving and storage companies in the Bay Area.
Millions of us entrust our prized possessions to storage facilities for safekeeping, temporarily and often long term, with the help of Bay Area moving companies. It’s become a fact of modern life: space is often at a premium at home (and office), and relocation is frequent in today’s fast-moving world. These facts mean that self storage is something most people consider at some point. When placing your precious items in a storage unit, Bay Area movers advise you to consider unit size and ease of accessibility, location and facility hours. You may also be given the option of climate control.
Are You Looking to Store Your Belongings at a Bay Area Storage Facility?
Just about everyone relies on a storage facility at some point in their lives. Some people are in the process of moving to a new home and need a temporary storage solution, while others need a more long-term solution to store their valuables. There is no right or wrong way to use a self-storage unit, but there is a difference between preparing your belongings for short-term and long-term storage. Before you call a Bay Area moving and storage company, let’s take a look at how to pack and care for your belongings to prepare them for storage.
Putting your décor away isn’t nearly as fun as setting it up for the holidays. Taking down all your decorations and keeping them safe and organized can be stressful and overwhelming. (more…)
Storage facilities come in handy any time belongings can’t come home with you yet. Renting storage is useful during a move as a way to reduce the clutter of packed boxes, especially when it’s important for the home to look its best in the interim. Storage of some goods is a sensible option during a temporary relocation, as when a job shifts to another city or country for a limited time. It’s also useful for temporary downsizing, as when a new home can’t be moved into right away, and sometimes for permanent downsizing or settling an estate, when short-term storage can take the urgency out of selling off furnishings. One question to ask if you’re considering storage is whether you want a self-service facility or the full-service option available from a moving and storage company like Magic Moving & Storage.

I write this review with the utmost respect and appreciation for the work that was done by MM&S. If you want a team from top to bottom that GETS THE JOB DONE, this is that team! When faced with adversity there is no hesitation or doubt. I was moving from a small apartment in to my new home. I have an extremely long drive way at a significant slope that makes maneuvering vehicles very difficult. When the truck could not be backed up the drive way, my movers parked it at the bottom, opened up the side doors and got to work without any gripe or negativity. These guys are all about getting the job done! I love that! Put your head down and grind it out. Literally carried everything up my drive way and were done quick. Not a single scratch or anything on my home or any of my stuff and put everything together for me. AMAZING! I would never recommend anyone else. Thanks so much to the MM&S team!

Magic Moving & Storage was used a part of my military move from Bay area to San Diego. They delivered my furniture to my new residence with HASSLE FREE. Steve(driver), Julio and Hector were respectful, professional, efficient and very dynamic. I was really impressed at their concern for not damaging anything as they were moving heavy boxes/furniture (i.e. they did not damage any walls or corners). They were quick and accomodated any of my requests. I would surely recommend them to anyone that wants their move done right. They're the best moving company in the Bay Area and I could say "worldwide". Thank you guys! Great Moving Experience!

SAVED THE DAY! I cannot thank the folks at Magic Moving enough! We had so many problems with our other moving company contracted to do the packing portion of our long-distance move. Of course there were a lot of items left unpacked and work not yet finished, an angry mgr/owner who was completely stressed out and unprofessional! Dave and his team came in like the 'Cavalry'!

Absolutely best move ever! We shopped around and felt comfortable hiring Magic Moving. We hired three guys to move 2 full apartments into one house. Not only was this a lot of stuff but they also did some packing of TV’s, lamps, pictures that we had not finished yet. They were amazing (more…)

One way that this group cuts costs is by not coming out to do estimates. The result is that their quotes are not really accurate. It took much longer to pack and move us than expected. (more…) It Took Much Longer to Pack and Move us Than Expected

This place is great at moving you and your home. Shane, Luis and Jay are awesome! They came on time, worked swiftly but accurately, and never damaged anything. In fact they were so good, they wrapped, very lovingly I might add, a $10.00 table from Target!
