I’m very impressed by NorthStar. This is the second time I’ve used them, and very solid experiences both times. The first move was almost 8 years ago  and they were as good if not better than what I remembered. My team of three movers was on time. They moved swiftly and with care. They also were extremely polite and personable young men — an added bonus. A week later, my fiance was moving but we called NorthStar too late for them to fit us in for a move on a weekend day. We used a different company and it was such a different experience. While those men also were professional and got the job done, their pace was significantly slower. Thus, NorthStar also proved to be a good move economically. I’m a pretty fussy consumer, and these folks really proved themselves worthy of a strong review.

I had an amazing experience with NorthStar Movers.  I had Ron Cohen, the relocation specialist come to my apartment to evaluate my items and how long it would take the movers and he did an excellent job.  I highly recommend having someone come to your location and give you an idea of how long it will take so they can provide you with a flat rate.  I had never moved this amount of stuff before and I was so nervous and unsure of what to expect.  Ron was very patient, answered all my questions and was readily available throughout the week to answer any questions I had.  Ask for Ron if you can, he relieved so much of my stress!  And he gave me three of the best movers I could imagine.  They were respectful of my items and very polite to me.  I’m so glad I found them and will 100% use them again!

We had a crew of three–Jason, Sal, and Rene–move us from our spot in Larkspur down to the Peninsula.  They actually showed up 15 minutes early, which gave me time for paperwork and to show them what had to go, and then they got to moving!

A couple tips:
-Everything should go in a box.  If it’s a loose article, small bag, small box, etc, they’ll throw it in a large wardrobe box for the move.  If it’s moving, box it up!
-They wrap all the furniture.  If it’s nice furniture, that’s great!  Since it take a bit of time, though, just point out what doesn’t need to be wrapped.
-If it’s going into storage, make sure you’re crystal clear.  A couple of items that were going to a storage unit were packed away in the back, but the guys were super-accommodating about digging it out.

Overall, a great experience.  They make great time in a 26-foot truck.  The Yelp deal was awesome.  Recommended!

This company helped me move over 6 months ago, and I feel guilty for taking so long to write this review because they were incredible. However, if I remembered to write this review so long after hiring them, then that tells you their service was unforgettably good. These guys were very polite and professional, and they charged me the price they quoted, no surprise fees. NorthStar was awesome!

I love NorthStar. They’ve moved us 3 times in town and they’ve been great every time. The guys are quick, courteous, and friendly. They’re very careful with our stuff and always ask where it should go before setting it down when we get to our destination.

$115/hour for 3 guys and a truck, it’s a pretty great deal.

Fantastic! I’ve moved many times but have never had such a great group to work with. I had a local move and my new house has a terrible, winding steep driveway.  The truck couldn’t get up the driveway so they carried everything up. It was July 1, the hottest day of the year. The guys just dealt with it, smiled and kept asking if there was anything else they could do for me. They were kind, hard working and so very friendly. They never stopped moving – and fast! I can’t recommend them more.

Great moving company. Omar and his crew were professional, courteous, and efficient. My wife is pregnant and they made sure to set up our couch first at the new place so she has a place to sit. Highly recommended.

This was my first time using ANY movers, so I’m thrilled to report that it was a terrific experience. 

Hector, Jose, and Jacito arrived at 8 a.m. sharp (had been scheduled to arrive between 8 and 10, and I had specially requested they come as close to 8 as possible). They immediately started putting everything into the truck almost at a run! Packing and loading took a fair amount of time, but it was done efficiently and without issues. 

Unfortunately when we arrived at our destination, the building elevator that I had reserved was completely shut down, the basement/ramped entrance that led to the elevator bank was blocked by maintenance workers and empty dumpsters. Instead of stopping, the guys decided to take the stairs(!) for most everything we owned, and kept up the fast pace! 

I want to specifically call out Hector, who took our 4 drawer, HEAVY file cabinet up three flights of stairs BY HIMSELF and kept a huge smile on his face the whole time. This guy was superman! I asked him if he was tired at one point (and offered some pizza and water) and he declined, saying, “I love this – It makes me feel like I’m working!” 

*Amazing!*

(And they all did pretty amazing things with packing tape – who knew?)

Although the move took longer than expected due to issues at the property (don’t worry, I’ll be reimbursed), the entire process would have been ten times longer and more frustrating if I had done it myself.

All three, Jacito (great manager!), Jose (efficient and a solid player), and Hector (superman!) were INCREDIBLE. I would definitely use them again. Thanks
