I used NorthStar to move from one apartment to another within L.A. in 2006, and then again last week when I moved items to a storage unit while heading out of town. They are FAST, efficient and professional. And Lynn makes sure to take care of your every need. Great company. Moving is stressful but picking them again would be an easy decision.
Local Move
First, I want to let you now that this review is entirely unsolicited.
Now, I need you to know that if you are in the San Fernando Valley, and are planning to move now or in the future, you must call NorthStar. I will go one step further. I dealt exclusively with Project Manager, Ilan Dahan. He was available, consistent, reliable, and the most accomodating person under any circumstances. I called Ilan with one day’s notice on not one occasion, but two. His crew arrived on time, and ready to work. And work they did! They were professional in every manner. The moves were commercial in nature, so it was important that there was as little downtime as possible. There wasn’t one minute of downtime from our old offices to the new. It was smooth, and as stress free as a move could be.
Suffice it to say that I can’t speak highly enough of Ilan, his crew, and NorthStar.
I had an absolutely great experience with the team from Northstar on my recent move from the West side. Ilan Dahan, the on site estimator, was very personable, professional and experienced, and gave me a fair quote that he even bettered by the time I booked them for the job. We had an initial mixup upon our first meeting, and he and the other staff at Northstar were so communicative about making up for it (and it was minor) that they impressed me with their customer service. I probably received three follow up phone calls regarding the matter- very good. I knew they were worth giving a try. They also had been recommended to me by a friend who had a very good experience with them.
The team that arrived, and worked hard ALL DAY, were Elisio Figeroa, Jamie Serrano, and Francisco Fernandez. These men were on time, courteous and incredibly professional in their work. And crazy strong! They spent probably double the time my other moving company spent – and my quote prior to the job was exactly what I paid when the job was completed.
I highly recommend my team from Northstar. I hope their bosses give them all a raise. They are employees worth having. Great job, guys, and thank you.
I highly recommend these guys. Very professional. On time. Ron, who did the walkthrough, was great and very helpful. The movers themselves did a great job packing and everything arrived in my new home, safe and sound. I’d use this company again : )
These guys were awesome. Friendly and efficient.
They helped me move just a few blocks the beginning of this month in Miracle Mile.
I highly recommend them!
Recently moved within Los Angeles and Northstar’s great reviews made them my top choice. Thankfully, they didnt disappoint. Ilan gave me a more than fair estimate and ensured the process moved smoothly. You can tell customer satisfaction is their top priority, and everyone employed by Northstar has taken that to heart. Movers were fast, professional, and everything was moved without the slightest bit of damage. Will call them again when the time comes to move.
Absolutely fantastic moving service. They moved me three times and every move has exceeded my expectations. They are professional, efficient, hard-working, thorough and courteous. The price of the move has also always been under what they stated. I have also recommended NorthStar to my family and friends and they too have been extremely happy with their moving service. Hands down, they offer the best quality service and the best price, period.
We had a great experience with NorthStar, I recommend them wholeheartedly. Ron, the estimator, was quick and efficient – he was able to give me an accurate estimate just by a quick glance around our apartment. He was thorough and willing to answer all of our questions. The day of the move, the movers arrived 10 minutes before the scheduled time, which was a pleasant surprise. We had a three-man crew that moved our 2-bedroom apartment in record time. They were friendly, courteous, and took great care of all of our things. Nothing was damaged in the move, everything arrived in perfect condition. The move ended up costing a little less than the “not-to-exceed” price, which we were happy about. Will definitely use this company in our next move!
Northstar made this supposedly stressful event move an easy one for us. Super professional all the way from the estimate to the actual move. Ilan Dahan came to see us before the move, and explained what is going to happen and gave us ideas and tips. It all worked just like he said! The crew came on time and loaded our entire 5 bedroom house on 2 trucks. Always smiling, always explaining, always double checking that everything is packed and protected properly. The unloading was just as smooth as the loading and in no time we were moved and settled in our new home.
I recently moved, and after examining all the options (one moving company staffed by ex-cons–SCARY, and one moving company staffed by musicians–EVEN SCARIER), we went with Northstar.
Overall, I was pretty pleased. On the plus side, they were faster and more efficient than the times I’ve gotten friends to move me. On the downside, I couldn’t pay Northstar in pizza.
Additionally, they showed up on time, got the work done, and were generally pleasant guys. They also broke down and reassembled my bed in like 30 seconds flat. Very impressive.
However, in reading the reviews, we didn’t get quite the level of service a lot of other people got. For example, everyone else seemed to get a consultation from some Moving Angel named Ron before their move. Ron made no such appearance at our place, yet we paid same rates.
There were also two scratches left on a bookcase, but it’s kind of a crappy IKEA bookcase, so I’m not too upset.
Overall, the move went well. We got the Yelp discount. We got moved. And we didn’t have to lift a finger. There were just a couple of small things that prevented a five star review.
