If you want a worry-free move with competent and friendly people who treat you like a rock star, call NorthStar!!
Everyone at this company, from the time I first inquired about prices, to booking the move, to the last box being unpacked, was friendly, professional and hard working; I highly and wholeheartedly recommend NorthStar Movers, they will take excellent care of you!
Ron Cohen came to our apartment, gave us an incredibly fair estimate, booked our intrastate move and gave us a great deal! We were expecting to see our stuff again in about 5 days or so, but to our overwhelming surprise, it was at our new door the next day! A bit of good luck with the scheduling, to be sure, but nevertheless, we were very, very happy to get our move squared away so quickly! Impressive!
Thanks specifically to John Henry Wilson III, Tausila Luafutu, Ariel Ramirez and Miguel Ruiz on the actual move! Awesome job, guys!
They had everything covered, down to every last nut and bolt. We had almost everything packed ourselves, but they did pack up some lamps and all of our many glass components, desks, tables, etc., mostly flawlessly. They packed up all the loose ends fairly quickly and efficiently and were very attentive to our property in the truck (in our old, crappy downtown neighborhood!)
The foreman, John, was incredibly focused on every detail and was very inventive and vigilant. With no advance notice, he immediately devised a system to get our entire apartment moved in without messing up the white carpet on a rainy day! Great staff of guys, very friendly and funny on an otherwise stressful day.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for spectacular service and an easy, painless move, call NorthStar!

Very professional, fast and careful. Great job, would use again.
I have used NorthStar twice. Once in a long distance move from Los Angeles to San Francisco and once from San Francisco to Oakland. Both times Stefy was very useful in helping determine how much help I would need as well as what I could do to help out the movers. For my first move, the moving team was willing to work around my schedule, which meant moving me in to my new apartment at 11:00 PM in the rain. Both moves were fast and everything was delivered in perfect condition. The moving team moved all my furniture into the right place and made sure I knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. I will continue using NorthStar in the future as well as recommending them to all my friends.
BONUS: Deals through yelp are always great.

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!

I had used NorthStar over a year ago to move into my current residence and had a great experience. I had contacted them at the last minute for an emergency move and they were able to come first thing the next morning. They did an entire full-service pack and move in about 10 hours (that time was to pack up everything at one location, drove it down the street and unloaded it into the new location).
Unfortunately, we now have to move across the country and contacted them again because our first experience was flawless. On each occasion that I have had to call, I have spoken with Stefy and she has been a blessing and so NICE to speak to. I met with Alan today to get a walk-through onsite estimate for the move and couldn’t be happier with his attitude and professionalism. Moving is such a stressful ordeal, but he was able to answer all of my questions and put my mind at ease. I definitely recommend speaking with Alan when getting an onsite estimate done.
My move is in three weeks and I will be updating my review once we get settled in.

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.
