these movers are really awesome, 3 guys showed up on time and moved stuff from my 2 bedroom apt in under 4 hours, great guys, very reliable and safe movers
Local Move
NorthStar was great to work with! I worked with them on two different moves I did. They were on time, fast, helpful, and got the job done!
I had an absolutely wonderful moving experience with NorthStar. Once they arrived, all of my furniture was loaded into the van within 45 minutes, including the dismantling of an L-shaped sofa. Once we arrived at the new apartment complex, they were aware of an even better way (back door) to get the furniture into the apartment complex because they had been there prior. I would recommend this company to anyone for a local move. I will most likely use them again when the time comes.
Seamless process! I moved just across the Bay from SF to Berkeley, and North Star made it very easy. Booking was straightforward, and they checked in to confirm the day before. 3 movers came, and were friendly and professional. Packed my room up quickly and were on their way. Unpacking was just as simple. Side note- my room in both locations was located on the 3rd floor, stairs only, but the crew was not phased, and efficiency was not compromised. Yelp deal obviously was a nice touch.
Only downside is that they gave me a 6 hour window of when they were coming (between 12-6). I was a little worried about having to wait around, but they actually arrived at 11:50am, so it wasn’t an issue.

Awesome movers!
I have now used NorthStar for two moves, and definitely recommend them. Both times, the crews showed up on time, worked efficiently, and tackled challenges with skillful, professional problem solving. The rates I received were competitive (and I appreciated the repeat customer discount!) and the movers did not add any hidden charges. NorthStar did a great job of getting everything to the new place – now it’s just on us to unpack!
The packing part of moving is horrible but they made it easy. They were quick, nice and around the same price as others I checked out. They kept me informed and called me to give exact times. Even checked up afterwards to make sure all went well. Hopefully, do not have to move again but would use them again.

I just used Northstar Movers again for another move. Everything went perfectly. The staff was some of the more helpful, less pushy people on the phone than the other companies I got quotes from. They called to confirm times with me a day before and even took my request for the movers to get there closer to the noon side of the afternoon time slot. I couldn’t get a morning time slot but the movers showed up around 12:30 which made me very happy since the window they give you is 12-6pm. My move for the equivalent of a 1 bedroom apartment took about 3.5 hours including some packing that I had been slacking on. The men were very helpful and took care to pack my things well but quickly. Everything made it safely with my move and I have not noticed any scratches or marks on any of my things. Again, I would highly recommend this company. Good service, courteous employees, competitive rates, and a yelp deal!
My husband and I have moved about 14 times in the last 16 yrs and this was the first time we ever hired someone to move us. We were a little nervous and I called numerous other companies prior to chosing NorthStar.
1st thing is, dont be afraid when some tatted up guys show up at your door! Gerardo, Christian and Gustavo were great! They called about 30 mins prior to their arrival to say they were on their way which I really appreciated. They came into my home with respect and manners and didnt waste time getting right to the job. After the paperwork was filled out they were quick and efficient at getting all the boxes loaded and taking careful steps to make sure our furniture didnt get damaged. They carefully wrap every piece of furniture in blankets even the furniture that wasnt that nice!) and tape and shrinkwrapped the mattresses and sofa. My husband has 2 large and extremely heavy tool boxes which the guys got on and off the truck with no complaints (even tho I’m sure they were hating it on the inside!) they hussled yet were careful and I cannot say enough good things about them. PLEASE BE SURE TO TIP YOUR MOVERS! THEY ARE HARD WORKING GUYS! I wish I had tipped them more.
Thank you NorthStar, I am sure I will be moving again in a couple years and I sure as heck am not ever doing it myself again after this experience!
