Highly recommended. Efficient, accommodating, and hard working crew of Enrique, Daniel and Neru.
Local Move
Wonderful service. Packed and moved all my belongings quickly and painlessly. Artem was so helpful and paid a lot of attention to detail to make sure that all went smooth. Carlos and Cortez also did a great job. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a full service moving company.
Absolutely flawless, painless move from SF to the East Bay. Our crew arrived right on time at 8:00 a.m. and it is now 2:00 p.m. as I write this and they are just wrapping up. We had a couple of behemoth pieces and our three-man crew handled them no problem. I have moved many times during my 40-plus years and this was by far the most efficient, diligent service I’ve experienced.
Wow! Excellent service. Went the extra mile. Javier Madrid, Adrian, Juan, and Misa were terrific. They brought an extra mover no charge, were polite and courteous, finished moving a 3 bedroom house and disassembled and assembled furniture in 3 hours. I barley lifted a finger. I recommend them to anyone who wants a smooth easy move.
Used NorthStar for the first time and they were great! Christopher, Ramiro and Ovidio were my movers and they seriously hustled. My move was slightly complicated: going from a storage unit and then a 2nd story apt and moving everything into a house up a hill. These guys RAN up those stairs and got the job completed in record time. Highly recommended 🙂
NorthStar came highly recommended by several trusted friends of mine who had recently used them for Bay Area move. These friends had hoarding tendencies not unlike mine so I knew my belongings would be in good hands when I booked! There are a lot of details to go over when you embark upon the daunting task of a cross country move, and NorthStar has it all figured out so you don’t have to fret about it. I pored over every section on their website that detailed should be done in preparation for the move and made sure I did it.
My husband and I arranged for an estimator to come to our apartment in San Francisco to determine a flat fee amount we’d pay, determined by weight. Presumably the estimator eyeballs the amount of crap you have and then determines the weight, supplies and other moving needs. Our estimator was scheduled to arrive between 9am and 11am, but didn’t turn up until 1:30pm, right when my landlord had scheduled an open house to rent our unit. Once he arrived though, he worked swiftly to eyeball the contents of the apartment, provide a reasonable estimate and hand over the paperwork.
We had another moving company pack our stuff so everything would be ready for moving day. I’ve attempted to pack my own things before and it ended in tears so I would highly recommend splurging for packing services – it also motivates you to rip the bandaid of unpacking off more quickly, since you don’t know where anything is…
On moving day in SF a team of 5 guys expertly padded the remaining items that my professional packers hadn’t protected/packed, and easily loaded them into the truck. The team was outstanding. They moved quickly, were very careful with my belongings and hardly paused throughout the move to take a break! Towards the end of the loading process I was informed that there were more boxes than estimated and the volume was going to go up. I later emailed the estimator and was able to renegotiate my rate so it’d be closer to the original estimate, since that was what we had agreed to.
Fast forward to the receiving end of the move 2.5 weeks later: you’re given a range of dates since your belongings are bundled with those of other customers who are either on the way or in the same city. I was a little panicky about securing the arrival date as I was juggling a 2 week vacation just before Thanksgiving and absolutely needed to be delivered and unpacked before I left, so at times it felt like I was stalking my moving rep inquiring about dates, but they assured me my stuff would arrive in the given window.
Our stuff arrived in the nick of time but we had some communication problems with the drivers (understandably, these guys are hired for their driving, lifting and assembly skills and not conversation or negotiation). I recommend going through the dispatchers at HQ when your driver is close to make sure all the details are ironed out. We had 4 guys (2 from the long distance drive and 2 were local contractors) and they moved everything into our house and put it exactly where we requested. Several hours after the guys left, they called to say they had found 4 extra boxes that were mixed up with another move and delivered them to us, among them, several key components of living room furniture. I fully unpacked everything (over 100 boxes) by the next evening and not a single hair was out of place. Really impressive considering the amount of crap that had been crammed in those boxes. Thank you!!
All told, just under $5000 including tip on both sides to move a 1 bedroom apartment from SF to Austin.

Juan and his team helped my family move in the Bay Area a few months ago, and did a great job. They seemed to work as quickly as possible while still taking care of everything. On time arrival and provided an accurate quote of time and cost for the move.
I would highly recommend NorthStar Movers. They gave me a window to arrive of between 12 noon and 6 p.m. They arrived at 12:15 p.m. Hannes, Miguel and Matt were AMAZING! They were so professional and genuinely nice. They wrapped and taped everything. I have two pieces of furniture that are over 100 years old. Extra care was given to these pieces. They move very quickly but are extremely careful. When going over the estimate, Hannes made sure I was aware of any and all discounts their company offers.
I couldn’t decide how I wanted my living room furniture set up. They patiently and cheerfully kept moving it around for me until I was satisfied.
I will definitely use them again. 🙂
Northstar Moving is by far the best moving company that you can count on. I’ve used them 8 times and am always confident that my belongings will arrive in excellent condition, that my move will take place on time at the ‘not to exceed price’ and the professionalism of their teams. I’ve used them for local moves, across country moves, moves from Northern CA to Southern CA. No question about it – this company is a winner. I don’t work for them – and I don’t get paid to say this – and I’m not an easy consumer – and I appreciate Northstar.
Excellent service. Easiest move I’ve ever had (and I’ve been through my fair share.) would use again for sure.
