Quick and painless, worth the money because moving is stressful and having people who do the heavy lifting for you is a huge help.
Yelp Review
I used Northstar moving for an apartment move last week. I needed to drop off a couch at a friends house on my way to my new apartment, and the movers were fantastic. Felipe, Antonio and Carlos were professional, hard working, accommodating and SO FAST! They were a pleasure to work with, and all of my belongings were very well taken care of. I’d recommend this company to anyone needing to move.
I have had the unfortunate experience of moving 3 times in 3 years. Each year we used a different set of movers. They showed up looking like a rag tag team who were always okay and moving – but not great.
This time around I hired NorthStar and I am so glad that I did. They are hands down the best movers I have ever worked with. I went with 4 men and a truck. They called prior to arrival, showed up on time and looking professional in their uniforms. We showed them the entrance and exit points and what we had to move and they got to work. They are the most efficient team of movers I have ever worked with. In the past it took us over 6 hours to move. These guys were in and out (including drive time) in 5 hours – for a 2 bedroom 2 bath place with a ton of stuff! They were beyond professional! They immediately brought to our attention any issues that occurred during the move and professional addressed everything to our satisfaction.
Not only did NorthStar provide the best rate for moving services (and trust me I got over a dozen quotes) they provided the best services we have experienced in all our moves. I would hire them again and have already recommended them to my parents.
Caleb and his crew were fantastic. Helped pack some items at the last minute and generally took care of everything, including disassembling and reassembling larger furniture items.
These guys were great! Super efficient and very fast. Nothing was broken. They helped put everything in its place and made sure to assemble my furniture that had been taken apart. Very affordable pricing, they definitely don’t rip you off like some of the previous movers I’ve had experience with. Overall I am very satisfied, would recommend to a friend, and will be using these guys again in the future.
These guys were awesome. Super fast and professional, huge truck, really took care of my possessions in a complicated move, and were available at late notice.
I’ve moved almost every year in SF, each time with a different moving company. My most recent move, which was incredibly rushed due to my schedule, was made possible by NorthStar. They were able to fit me in on short notice and transport some heavy and fragile pieces, including a concrete dining table and marble standing desk. I will be going back to them next time I need a move. They also contract with an full replacement insurance company in case you are worried about your items (like I was), not that I needed it.
The NorthStar team was great! They moved me out of my studio apartment in about an hour and 15 minutes, packing included! I really liked how the labeled my packed boxes (tv, kitchen, living room) to make everything easy to find when I start to unpack. They were very professional and gentle with my furniture, including bringing it up 2 narrow / older flights of stairs at my new place. They were diligent in making sure everything I wanted to come with me made it into the truck, and making sure everything was where I wanted it in my new place. I would definitely recommend the team to a friend for moving. Marvin who led the paperwork and the team was professional and nice to work with.
Best moving experience I ever had. They did the move with no damage, ahead of schedule and under budget. Dominick leads his crew like a professional; he and his crew are amazing!
They moved the contents of a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in Studio City to a much smaller 2 BR/2BA in Simi. I had 2 huge, already assembled, shelving units to solve the problem of moving into a smaller space. But I was going to have the crew disasemble, load the individual pieces on the truck, and reassemble in Simi. This would have taken forever and worn out the crew and dragged out the move. Luckily, Dominick had another plan which worked perfectly. Dominick very strategically loaded the two fully-assembled, large shelving units on the truck. This saved a tremendous amount of time, and crew energy. Fatigued movers are not a good thing; so his plan probably was safer and prevented injuries
The crew were all very polite, hardworking and thoughtful. They asked for directions when needed and followed directions well. They took initiative to box things I overlooked, arranged boxes and items at the new house in common sense ways; labels facing out, in the right rooms, positioned for access.
My only regret is that I had not planned ahead for the destination. It was a hot day, crew worked from about 8 am into afternoon. All I had was room temperature water. I wish I had some cold watermelon and cold water to give them when we got to the new house.
But they never complained and were grateful for the water.
Top notch group of guys. Would definitely use them again, without hesitation!
Not understanding what some of these 1 star people are referring to, but my husband and I had the exact opposite experience.
We were supposed to move on Saturday, but last minute, and I mean, last minute, we decided to move in
a lot sooner
Ron, the estimator who was professional and extremely nice to begin with, accomodated us on the day and time.
The movers came on time, were so patient and nice
10 hours move from start to finish. No damage, everything was assembled, 100% satisfaction.
Ramiro, christian and Reynuldo..thank you !!!
for making a difficult day totally bearable
