Who we are

For more than twenty years, one Mountain View family has packed, padded, and carried the Peninsula's homes — and Mike, the owner, is on every job himself. No call center. No cutting corners. Just your things, handled with care.

Founded and run by Michael Pounders, a local native with 35 years in the trade, Handle With Care has earned its name one careful move at a time.

What we do

Every kind of move, done right.

From a one-bedroom across town to a whole household across the country — handled by one trusted, careful team.

01

Local & Residential

Careful home and apartment moves across Mountain View, the Peninsula, and the South Bay — quoted up front, in writing.
02

Long-Distance & Nationwide

Cross-California and out-of-state moves, from the Bay Area to anywhere in the country, with clear communication start to finish.
03

Packing & Unpacking

Full or partial packing and furniture wrapping — everything padded, labeled, and protected before it ever leaves the room.
04

Packing Materials

Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and paper pads supplied and delivered — so you're never scrambling the night before.
05

Storage

Between homes or waiting on a closing date? We'll store your belongings safely and bring them when you're ready.
06

Specialty & Heavy Items

Pianos, safes, and large or awkward furniture, moved with the right equipment and real technique.
The Handle With Care promise

The quote we write down is the price you pay.

No padding the clock. No fuel-charge fine print. Just the number Mike shakes your hand on — a promise our customers repeat in review after review.

"I'm in the middle of a divorce and didn't have access to the house where my belongings were. I sent Michael photos, and he gave me a fair quote and was flexible enough to work with our situation."

Aaron C. · Yelp review
★★★★★

"Mike was wonderful! We had to move my 86-year-old mom from the Bay Area to Central California. We've moved six times in 20 years — big companies, small ones, DIY — and this was the best."

Dan R. · Yelp review
★★★★★

"Mike suggested felt pads for all my furniture — and the team actually put felt under every piece before moving it in. They were careful with the furniture, the doorways, and the floors. My highest recommendation."
