Great service! The movers were prompt and ready. They were gracious with the change in the moving path with the apartment complex closing down the main elevator. They broke down all of the furniture pretty quickly. The wrapped up and protected our furniture and belongings and took care of them like their own. Always courteous and accommodating. They navigated the construction zone masterfully. We had a sleeping baby in a room and they moved like gazelles and did not wake her ups. From point A to point B the process was seamless and effortless. Highly recommend them.
Yelp Review
So this move had a couple hiccups. But the way the company handled it was top notch. I will definitely use them again.
We have a toddler, so had to carefully coordinate babysitting and nap time around the move. The movers ended up coming late (one mover was sick and they needed a last-minute sub). We rolled with that, but it did throw off the childcare planning. Then their truck broke down! More bad luck.
But the movers themselves were very friendly and professional, and when I told the company how the move went, the customer service team was awesome.

Edgar and his team called me in advance that they were arriving. This worked out great as it gave enough time to be ready with my move. They were on time as Edgar had mentioned.
Although I had packed all the boxes/ items to be moved, I was pleasantly surprised that the move was so swift! Edgar was very clear about the moving process and him and his team were extremely efficient the entire time. I really appreciated all the help with the move as it would have been extremely challenging for me to handle this all by myself!
I would definitely request this same team anytime I have to move in the future!
Thank you Edgar and team ! Thank you Northstar!
I was able to get an appointment about a week before I moved. It was helpful they had availability so soon ahead of time. Also, they have another option to view your home ahead of time, to estimate how much time it will take, and they’ll mark the maximum time not to exceed.
They were prompt and on time. I would say there was some confusion about the time starting. Initially when I first called, the office lady said I’d have the 12-6pm slot. This was a little nerve racking for us, since our estimated time of move was going to be a max of 7.5 hours! And our condo has a moving time slot of only 4 hours. Then my fiancé called, they said they’d come earlier, 11am. Then the day before, 9am. Then a few hours before, 8:30! I mean in the grand scheme of things it worked out okay, but just a lack of communication. There was no way to confirm what they initially said, since it didn’t say on the estimated sheet. Oh well.
They were extremely quick to move. With a large sofa, small sofa, dining room table, 4 chairs, tv stand, queen bed + mattress, desk, another tv stand, 2 trunks, and what felt like 40 boxes, it only took them 2 hrs 15 mins to move down 2 flights of stairs!!!! (With 3 guys). Also they have closet hanger boxes, so that helps. They also have large blankets to cover the sofa, large furniture, and wrap as part of their service! So awesome.
When you move into your new place, they take down all the wrapping and also ask where you want to place things, so have an idea ahead of time.
Total time was 5.5 hours. Total bill was $800. Honestly it was completely worth it!!! It also came with the COI included, if you need one, at no charge. No scratches in my old home or new one.
Edgar, Jose, and Elias were my movers. They did great. Very prompt, efficient. WELL DONE!!!!
Boom!! Nailed it. Did everything that you want and expect in an efficient professional moving service. And they smelled nice.
Thanks for the memories and speedy work!

During the week of the move, they confirmed with me again the schedule and if there were any additional things I need. On the day of the move, they called me ahead of time and were very prompt and timely at arrival. The crew that helped me was very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to work with. I was able to tell them specifically what I needed. They loaded and unloaded everything I needed and made sure everything was secure. They were able to deliver all the big and small items to the exact location I desired at my new home. This is my second time using this very reliable company and will utilize them again for the next move I make.
Just call NorthStar. Don’t bother with any of the other companies. Some of the other estimators that came gave me the creeps. That’s how you just know. And with NorthStar, like I said, it was smooth and easy from the start and there are no hidden costs!!
I’ve moved 4 times in the past 2.5 years! I love you San Francisco!
I’ve used a few movers, and I picked Northstar randomly from yelp this time around since I needed to move on a Sunday.
The move went well except the elevator broke at 1 Henry Adams!! The property manager was useless, So we had to deal with a slower move out and the guys handled it super well and kept us on track.
The whole experience with this company was super solid and operations was organized and transparent:
-From talking to Stephanie for a quote / set up
-getting the COI (insurance) from them for the move in to the new apartment building
-organizing the time of arrival (showed up 830am for 8am-10am window) -dealing with what I would consider a mess elevator issue
-keeping things on time, on track, transparent, and safe/clean
Edgar and team (3 in total) did a great job, and truly “delivered” on my move. Overall costs + quality of work was solid and was a GREAT price relative to others I have used (Think $500 vs $1800!).
I would use this company and team again. Of course it’s always about who shows up to do the move and Edgar was a great dude.
