San Diego Moving & Storage Services
Sometimes the move-out date and the move-in date refuse to line up. Gorilla Movers picks up, wraps, and photo-inventories your things, stores them in our monitored 75,000-square-foot San Diego warehouse, home to roughly 8,000 sealed storage vaults, and delivers them the day you're ready.
Gorilla Movers offers full-service moving and storage in San Diego: we pick up, wrap, and photo-inventory your belongings, keep them in our monitored 75,000-square-foot warehouse with roughly 8,000 sealed vaults, and redeliver on your schedule. It is the simplest option when your move-out and move-in dates don't line up, and the same crew handles both ends so nothing is touched twice.
Full service storage vs self storage in San Diego
Self storage sounds cheap until you add up what it actually asks of you. You rent a truck, load everything yourself, drive it across San Diego, unload it into an empty room, then repeat the whole process in reverse when it's time to move in. Every item gets lifted four times instead of two, and every one of those lifts is another chance for a cracked table leg, a gouged doorframe, or a strained back. Add the truck rental, the fuel, the pizza for whoever you talked into helping, and the monthly rate on the unit itself, and the savings shrink fast.
Full service storage flips the model. Our crew comes to your home, pads and shrink-wraps your furniture, builds a photo inventory of everything we take, and loads it once. Your things ride in our truck to our warehouse, go into sealed wooden storage vaults, and sit racked off the floor until you call for them. When you're ready, the same company that sealed the vault delivers everything and places it in your new rooms.
The practical differences are concrete: no truck rental, no borrowed dollies, no double lifting, and no standing in a dark unit three months later wondering whether the couch is behind the boxes or underneath them. You get an itemized, photographed inventory instead of a mental map. And because pickup and redelivery are handled by the same background-checked, uniformed employees, one company is accountable for your belongings from your old doorway to your new one.
Gorilla Movers has been doing exactly this in San Diego since 2008, across more than 25,120 moves, with a 4.8-star rating over 338 Google reviews. Storage isn't a side business bolted onto moving. It's the middle step of the same job, and every completed job sends $5 to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
How San Diego moving and storage works, step by step
Why San Diego households and businesses use storage
Inside our San Diego storage facility
Your belongings are stored at our facility on Consolidated Way in San Diego, the same building our crews dispatch from every morning. It's a working moving warehouse, not an unattended row of roll-up doors: clean, fully indoor, monitored 24/7, and staffed by the same background-checked employees who handle your goods on move day.
Household goods live in sealed wooden vaults, padded and packed tight so nothing shifts, then racked off the concrete. Oversized pieces like sofas, mattresses, and headboards are wrapped and racked separately. Because each vault is sealed at your curb and opened at your new home, your things aren't rehandled, browsed, or exposed in between. That's the quiet advantage over self storage, where every visit means the door goes up and the stack comes down.
Terms flex in both directions. Short-term storage covers a two-week escrow gap or a six-week remodel. Long-term storage runs month to month for as long as you need it, with a flat, predictable rate per vault and no penalty for leaving early or staying late.
Gorilla Movers is licensed and insured (CAL T-192729, USDOT 3801918) with an A+ BBB rating, and we provide certificates of insurance for buildings as standard. That matters on redelivery day when your new address is a high-rise downtown or an HOA in Carmel Valley that won't let an uninsured truck near the loading dock.
Storage built into your move, partial retrieval, and commercial storage
Most of our storage customers never went shopping for storage. They're moving, and the dates don't line up. So storage-in-transit is built directly into our local and long-distance moves: one quote covers pickup, storage, and redelivery, and one crew is accountable for the entire chain. If your San Diego move needs a two-week or two-month pause in the middle, you don't need a second company, a second contract, or a second round of lifting.
Need one thing back before the rest? Partial retrieval is a normal request, not a hassle. Because everything is photo-inventoried by vault, we can locate the crib, the filing cabinet, or the box of winter gear, pull it, and hand it off at the warehouse or deliver it to your door. A couple of business days' notice is usually all it takes, and the rest of your goods stay sealed and racked.
For San Diego businesses, we store office furniture, cubicle systems, files, IT equipment, retail fixtures, and seasonal inventory on the same racked and inventoried system. Common uses: holding furniture between office leases, staging FF&E for a phased buildout, or clearing a floor during a remodel. We can redeliver in stages as your space comes online, so the conference room shows up the week the conference room is painted.

“Alexis and Alonzo were fast and efficient. I am very pleased with their ability to move items effectively and with no damage to any items. They crushed it with the storage of my goods ensuring all items were placed in a way that optimized the space and ensure no items would be broken upon my return to the storage units. I highly recommend Gorilla Movers and highly suggest requesting Alonzo and Alexis as your movers. Thank you all.”
“Great experience! We hired these guys to come move our warehouse and storage units into a new facility. They do it all and don’t let you lift a finger. Great service, communication and priced fairly. They were so confident in moving 7000 sq ft of product and we didn’t have to worry about logistics with them. Highly recommend for your business or personal needs!”
“My sister recommended Gorilla Movers to me and it was the best thing I could have wished for. I've worked with several moving companies and have never had one be as efficient and cordial as Gorilla Movers is. I had a lot of things in my house that was making it cluttered and Gorilla Movers resolved my problem by moving and organizing a lot of my stuff into a storage unit. The whole process was so effortless and productive. I would call them again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend with anything moving related.”
“Gorilla Movers are the best! Helped us through a really stressful move and took care of our things as if they were their own. Booking process with Olivia was seamless and she was so accommodating with our last minute changes. I highly recommend supporting this team for any moving or storage needs you might have!”
“The 2 men who did the moving were very polite, listened carefully, and packed everything into the storage containers carefully.”
“Just had Gorilla Movers move me out of my 1 bed apartment and into 3 storage units. The two gentleman who assisted were punctual, professional, and FAST! Would highly recommend for any local move needs”
“Very professional, fast...This team really went above and beyond, made sure all of our belongings were padded and wrapped, not a single item was broken. We will be using them again when it comes time to move our things out of storage and in to a new home....wow!!! Fantastic experience”
“Last week, I moved some of my belongings into storage with Gorilla Movers. We decided to utilize the storage provided by Gorilla Movers in their warehouse on Miramar Rd. The price was very reasonable for our 3 bedroom home, as we had a lot of large furniture needing stored for the foreseeable future. The movers were kind, quick, and careful throughout the moving day. Our family will definitely use them again when it’s time to relocate out of storage and to our new home we hope to find out of state.”
“recently used Gorilla Movers for my move from Point Loma to Carmel Valley, and I couldn't be happier with their service! Moving a 4-bedroom home is no small task, and they made the entire process stress-free. They even provided storage for my belongings, which was a lifesaver during the transition. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly careful with my furniture and belongings. They handled everything with expertise and made sure nothing was damaged. If you're looking for reliable movers in Point Loma, Carmel Valley, or anywhere in San Diego, Gorilla Movers is the way to go! Highly recommend their moving and storage services!”
“The guys were GREAT. Went above and beyond to be helpful and even took some things to storage for us.”
