The hop up the Peninsula into San Francisco is the shortest of all our distance lanes, and it almost never sits idle. Reckon on about 50 miles, taking either US-101 past SFO or I-280 along the ridge, near an hour when the freeway cooperates. A Willow Glen two-bedroom can be aboard the truck before noon and standing again in Hayes Valley, the Marina, or SoMa by mid-afternoon. Jerry opened these doors in 2009 doing exactly this kind of meticulous Bay Area moving, so any studio or solo bedroom typically rides on one trip up and back behind a single team of ours.
The freeway is not what eats a city move. Parking and elevators are. Lots of the SoMa and Financial District condo houses keep the gate shut until management has a certificate of insurance in hand and the freight car is booked, while a few demand a dock window timed to thirty-minute marks. We track that paperwork down and lock the lift slot through your origin building together with whoever takes delivery uptown, all squared days before moving day, so nobody loses a reservation cooling their heels downstairs. Between roughly November and March the rains can drench a job in town, so we lay floor cover and shrink-wrap anything with a screen, and we will shift your date free of cost should a front roll in off the ocean.
Jerry Wood owns each truck outright and staffs movers on payroll that we hire and coach ourselves, meaning the same people boxing and lifting your home back in San Jose are the people carrying it up the steps uptown. This job lands on no freight board, gets sold to no stranger you have never met, switches to no second team at the county line. A lone truck under live tracking covers the run start to end, and the meter is your call: $150 an hour for two guys with vehicle and gear wrapped in, $200 with three, $260 with four, or a set figure we commit to paper once we tour the inventory. A 1-bedroom most often runs from $720 to $1,150. Monitors, a desktop tower, a small server cabinet, or a stretched canvas count as ordinary freight for us, not some jolt at the foot of your invoice. Cal-P.U.C. MTR 0192345.
Chasing a job in the city core, extra square footage, or just life by the bay? Send across both doors and the day you have in mind, and Jerry Wood will hand you something firm.
