Review by Alder Y.

I just had my single family home packed and moved from San Francisco to Oakland with NorthStar Moving and the crew from their San Mateo operation. I can strongly recommend them on the basis of my experience.

Here’s some details. I ordered a full service move for my house, which involved a day of packing and a day to load the truck and move. In the course of that process I worked with two different teams. The packers were ok, but not great. Courteous guys, but their “packing” job resulted in a lot of things that weren’t packed. Some drawers in the kitchen with stuff still in them. Some shelves with stuff still on it, the bed not taken apart, and despite my request for them to clearly label everything, many boxes unlabeled. I was pretty grumpy when I came back from some errands at the end of the day to see what state they’d left things in.

The next morning, the day of the move, another team showed up, and they were rock stars. They fixed everything that the first crew had left undone or done shoddily — labeled everything,  packed the remaining items, etc. Then they proceeded to do an utterly fantastic job loading the truck, getting everything over to the new place, and putting everything in the right rooms. Attentive and responsive, always asking to make sure we were having a great experience. Roger and Cory and the crew were totally excellent, and tireless workers.

I will use NorthStar Moving again. Hopefully not for another 10 years, of course. But strongly recommended.
