I read the reviews, and NorthStar Moving Company sounded great. They are better than great. They arrived 07:45 for the promised 8-10 arrival. The 3 guys emptied my house so fast that I had to rush to keep up. They were polite and courteous when I wanted to check and re-check that I had gotten everything. Then to my new apartment, and the guys emptied the truck very quickly. I got a 5% discount from my apartment complex, and bought the $125 off for $50 Yelp coupon, so my entire move was very reasonable. Great job, NorthStar!

Sal, David and Oscar helped us move out of our apartment in the Peninsula to our new condo in South Bay. They were hard working and worked very quickly.  Lynn helped us coordinate the move and was readily available and easy to communicate with.

Everything arrived at the condo in perfect condition. But what really impressed is that they reassembled our bed without us having to ask. Maybe this is standard but we really appreciated it. They also helped us transport donations to the Salvation Army.

All in all, we were quite pleased with the whole experience, especially for the price. Thank you NorthStar! 

Long overdue, but that’s because I was out of the country. North Star is 5 stars. We had Jimmy, Ray and a super sweet guy whose name I can’t remember move us. They were “A” crew material. 3 guys came to move us from a two story house in the Presidio all the way to Berkeley. 

-Break down
-Wrap EVERYTHING (no im  serious, everything…antique dining room table, king bed, antique secretary….)
-(we packed the boxes….but we were still helping pack when they were leaving)
-Move everything into the truck tightly
-Get everything out of the truck into the proper rooms to the third floor of a building with no elevator
-Work non-stop, take no breaks and have fun doing it the entire time.

At the end of the move I forgot to tell them I had a Yelp deal and they worked it in and even tried making sure I got the lowest rate I could. These guys were super super all stars and seriously worth every penny.

I had called Delancy and One Man and a bunch of other people, but listen — when it comes to moving your stuff — you want quality. Sure other people might quote you less, but the communication with these guys is awesome, they always email/call back and don’t ignore voice mail messages like some other people.

Plus this is now the 3rd time I had someone else tell me these guys are legit. 3 separate experiences by individuals who barely know  each other and everyone says these are work super hard and do a great job.

Anna who helped me online was always very nice. She kept reminding me to leave this review and I did need reminding because they set me up so quickly and did everything so well I was able to jump right back into work without a second thought. So while it’s a bit late (my move was right after Xmas) I hope that this helps others understand just how awesome their customer service and moving team is. True Professionals.

OH OH OH …. hardwood floors. Presidio to Berkeley Condo….

These guys really tried to pay attention to NOT nic any floors or hurt the walls. ATTENTION to detail and moving fast? This crew deserves raises for sure.

I have been meaning to email you. I was absolutely amazed and thrilled with Allan and his crew. I think they did an awesome job and were so nice and accommodating. I really hope you recognize them. 
I will definitely use you guys and request them if I move again. 
Thank you

After reading the reviews on yelp, I decided to use Northstar for my local move.  I was moving from a 1 bedroom apartment to a house.  I thought 3 movers was overkill but that was the minimum size for a local move.  The crew arrived on time, was very friendly and extremely helpful.  They helped help me properly dispose of an old entertainment center I wasn’t taking with me which wasn’t easy.  The floors in the home had just been refinished and the crew was extra careful not to scratch it.  They even helped me get a heavy sofabed into the guest room which had a very tight hallway.  It was like a rubix cube but they figured out how angle it in  I think I will have to disassemble it to get it out, it was that hard.  Best of all they finished almost exactly at the three hour minimum.  Overall a great experience for something as miserable as moving  I would definitely use them again for my next move.

Sorry it has taken a while to get this to you.
 
My experience with Northstar Movers was, on a scale from 1-10, a 15!
 
Our movers were Herman, Max and Ullisses.  These gentlemen were very thorough, efficient, polite and caring.
 
They did their job very quickly.  They were very careful with our stuff as if it were their own. You could tell they take great pride in their work.
 
The total price of the move came in under the estimate and so we got charged less than the estimate. I could not believe it!
 
I totally recommend these guys to anyone and everyone!
 
Thank you so much for recommending Northstar Movers.  They made our move a breeze.  I even had a neighbor comment on how calm I was during the move.  You can not beat the peace of mind!

These guys were great!  They called me two hours before they were set to arrive.  They showed up on time, with three guys and a HUGE truck to move all of my things.  We were moving into a newly remodeled home with the original hardwood floors and I was very nervous about damaging the fresh paint and refinished floors.  They were GREAT, fast, and took care of my new home and my belongings.  I would use them again… but hopefully not for a while!  🙂  They called me to check in after the move to make sure that everything had gone smoothly.  Apparently, they now have an estimator who will come out and do a free estimate with a “do not exceed” clause for your move.  That way you’ll know the most you’ll be expected to pay.  Great movers!
We moved in early January using NorthStar Moving Company and it was the best moving experience I’ve ever had. Alan M., Antonio C., and Marco A. were super fast, helpful and just generally on the ball. I also loved that when we booked Northstar they let us know about a Yelp discount coupon which saved us some money on the move. Not every day that a company directs you to save money. Will for sure be using them again.
This was my first time using NorthStar Moving Co. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Ron Cohen, estimator, answered my questions patiently and timely and made the whole process seamless. The movers (Omar, Francisco, Jose and Joshua) were a great team. If I have to move again, they would be my first choice. They showed up close to the scheduled time, went right to work, worked efficiently and worked hard. These guys clearly knew what they were doing and gave helpful suggestions to ensure nothing was broken. They also had a great attitude and clearly showed they enjoyed their job, which helped put me at ease. Customer Service was sharp and helpful. Was very pleased to end up paying less than the NTE quote and using the Yelp coupon. If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I would.
NorthStar moved me a couple of weeks ago and they were fantastic! It was tough to choose a company, however their Yelp reviews really helped me sift through the choices and they absolutely lived up to their excellent reputation. Ron Cohen, their Estimator, was informative, fast and thorough with his estimate and completely on target with what I could expect and what I’d be paying. What I appreciated was being given a roof for what it could cost me and told that I could have savings from that total (which I’m happy to say I did). I also used them for packing services the day before and my 3 packers were back on moving day, which also gave familiarity and comfort during what can be an incredibly stressful experience. I can’t recommend this company enough. I appreciate honesty, consideration, diligence and care and they delivered beyond my expectations!
