More than a Family Business

Hi – I’m Matt Larmore.  That’s me on the left.  My mother, Linda Piazza, founded BayShore Transportation System in 1973 as a division of our family’s moving company that began operations in 1914.

Family Moving

ShoreView Moving & Storage is owned and operated by my parents, Linda and Ralph Piazza, my older brother Andy Larmore, and myself. We are very fortunate to have a GREAT TEAM of professionals – many have been with the parent company, BayShore Allied, for over 25 years – that share our vision and core values. We are all on the same mission, to provide World Class service focused on our customers, quality, integrity and profitability. We operate daily with these key values in mind.

Over the years Mom has instilled many keys to success, but there are four that stand head and shoulders above the rest:

1)  Integrity.  In business and in life it is so important to do the RIGHT thing – even if the RIGHT thing is not the most profitable or the most popular.

2)  Bigger is not always better.  We are fortunate to move over 5,000 families a year, but Mom always reminds us that we must never lose sight of how each customer sees only THEIR ONE MOVE.  We must control the quality (customer satisfaction) of each individual move.

3)  TEAM. Mom has taught us all that trucks and buildings are a prerequisite to be in the moving and storage business, but it is the TEAM (our people) that make the difference.  It is amazing how AWESOME people can be when they are part of a WINNING TEAM.

4)  Community. We have been fortunate for decades to have the support of the communities we serve.  So we give back to those communities that have given so much to us.  We are very active with different charities, from large to small.

If at any time I can be of assistance – to answer a pricing question, confirm how we plan to move your piano or address any concern you might have – PLEASE email me.  I would love to speak with you personally.

THANK YOU on behalf of our family and the award-winning ShoreViewTeam for visiting our web site.  We wish you the very best as you take on the excitement of moving.

Sincerely,

Matt Signature
Matt Larmore, Vice-President

Your move and your possessions are too important to trust to strangers.

Easing the Stress of Relocation

We understand that moving can feel overwhelming, especially for different types of customers with unique concerns. At Shoreview Moving and Storage, we go the extra mile to ensure peace of mind for every client.

For new homeowners, we provide guaranteed pricing with no surprises to eliminate the fear of surprise expenses. Our team supports beginners through the entire process, offering adaptable timelines and clear guidance. From handling fragile wedding gifts to carefully relocating household pieces, we make the transition into a new home as smooth as possible.

For households on the move, we focus on organization and efficiency to minimize disruption. Bringing children along during a move has its own struggles, which is why we offer packing and unpacking assistance, timing moves to fit school routines, and extra care for sentimental items like children’s furniture and keepsakes. Our warm, helpful team members help families re-establish routines without delay so they can get back to daily life smoothly.

For downsizing seniors, we take a calm and compassionate approach. Downsizing can be a challenging life transition, and our team is prepared to move meaningful possessions gently. We offer full-service packing, climate-controlled storage options for heirlooms, and courteous personal assistance that makes transitions to new living environments or downsized spaces easy.

For business relocation managers, we recognize the importance of minimizing disruption to business operations. Our office moving services are structured for continuity and efficiency, ensuring a fluid office move. We coordinate information technology moves, secure business asset transportation, and move during low-impact hours for convenience. Our warehousing and storage solutions provide temporary storage for office furniture and equipment, keeping everything neatly arranged for hassle-free reentry.

For long-distance and global customers, we provide expert pkanning support to eliminate stress from complex moves. We offer real-time tracking, professional packing services, and secure transport to ensure that everything reaches its final stop without issue.
