NorthStar is the best, and I highly recommend them. Ron Cohen came to my house and gave a professional estimate, coordinated everything, and was constantly available for any questions. Oscar and his crew were extremely professional and efficient. Not a single item was broken. I would use NorthStar again without a doubt, and I highly recommend them to others without any reservation.

Found these guys on Yelp after reading so many great reviews.. (just like everyone else!) and they did a fantastic job for me.. Professional all the way, showed up when they said they were going to show up, and worked as quickly as possible. I packed up everything sans the kitchen (glasses, etc) and again they did a solid job with that as well, not a single breakage. If you got a little $$, don’t beg you’re friends to help you move.. Save yourself some stress and grovelling and get pros to do it proper, these guys did good by me, reccomended!
I have now used Northstar moving 3 times in the past 4 years and each time, I am never let down. It starts with the ease of contacting the office to set up an appointment. Within a couple hours, all the paperwork is completed and ready to go. The truck arrives on time with hard working people who are friendly, trustworthy, and fast. Eric in particular led his crew on an 8 hour day that could not have run smoother. I appreciate everyones hard work, positive attitude, and responsible work ethic which made a stressful moving day much easier. Thanks for everything. You guys deserve it!!
The thought of moving was incredibly stressful – have never used a moving company before..juut knew that I didn’t have the time or energy to do another move on my own! I considered a couple of companies and got a few estimates. I can say without a doubt, that my experience was beyond wonderful.
Ron Cohen handled my initial survery and all the logistics of the move. He was professional, courteous, and an absolute privilege to work with…readily available by telephone or email, answered all my questions, provided superb excellent service, and overall a really great person! The three person crew that was sent over were kind, professional, extremely careful with all of my belongings, and SO NICE. I was incredibly impressed with my entire experience and I will definitely use them again! I highly recommend this company.
I have used NorthStar 3 times to move within California and was satisfied each time! They are very professional and courteous – not only as far as the actual movers are concerned – but also everyone I spoke to over the phone to arrange and coordinate all the details. The also do a professional follow-up to assure everything went alright which reflects they care about their clients and are constantly looking to satisfy. I would highly recommend them to anyone of my friends! I also had the distinct pleasure of working with Lynn Ben-Shimon who was the one I spoke to on the phone (and several times after) to set up the dates/details for all my moves! She is extremely courteous, professional, and likeable and made what is usually a stressful experience (MOVING) seem like a walk in the park!
I needed to move from a Brentwood apartment (Barrington Plaza) to a Pacific Palisades house. I am a very busy individual, and needed the moving company to take care of packing and uppacking as well.
Northstar service was as good as it gets. For serservation, I called and I told them the apartment size, and they told me that I needed a 3 men crew and 1 truck at the rate of $115.00 per hour. The packing material would be extra unles I supplied them. I had them do it as the prices were reasonable. On the move day, the movers arrived 30 minutes earlier than originally planned and asked if I want them to start earlier, or to wait to start on the hour. Of course, I asked them to start right away. They started packing at 9:30am and by 1:00pm everything was in their truck! I was working on my laptop the whole time! After lunch, we got to Pacific Palisades at 2pm. They started unpacking, and only asked me where everything should go to. By 4:30pm, everything was unpacked and placed in appropriate places (even the frames!).
All the staff were super professional and worked very hard and efficiently. Nothing was damaged during the move.
This was the most pleasant move that one could ask for!
Thank you NorthStar!
This is the 2nd time my husband and I have used NorthStar moving, and if we move again, it won’t be the last. After getting estimates from 3 moving companies, NorthStar moving’s prices were not only competitive, but they offered 30 days free storage if we needed it (the other moving companies charged for storage). Our most recent move was from the Los Angeles area to the Bay Area. Ron Cohen managed our move and we couldn’t be happier. He was very professional, flexible, and followed up with us all along the way to ensure our moving needs were taken care of. The movers themselves were on-time, professional, and best of all, they wrapped and transported all of our household items so well that nothing was damaged!
After all of our items were unpacked, we had a sea of empty boxes laying around. I called to request NorthStar pick them up and they came the same day I called and hauled them all away. Impressive!
I would use NorthStar moving again in a heart beat. Moving is such a stressful time but NorthStar really helps to reduce the stress – thanks for a great moving experience!
We just used them to move from West Los Angeles to Sacramento, and they did a great job. I was shocked that nothing was broken or damaged. The movers were quick, nice, and professional, and the cost ended up being less than the estimated cost from Ron.
Our cross-country move was somewhat complicated–we had to change dates at the last minute, access to the apartment was difficult on the pickup and delivery ends, and it was excessively hot and humid on both ends–and NorthStar and its affiliates were flexible and professional the whole time. Everything arrived with minimal damage, the movers themselves were polite and efficient, we witnessed some epic maneuvering of very large trucks in very tight places. Given the complexity of the job, the cost was very reasonable, and the company stuck to the quote that we were given up front. Moving is never easy, especially moving long distance, and we’re glad we went with this company; we’d call them again if we ever have to repeat this process. Show owner comment »
After seeing so many great Yelp reviews for NorthStar Moving, my husband and I decided to hire them to move us from the Westside to downtown LA. Our move had the potential to be a bit tricky as it involved moving a lot of stuff up and down lots of stairs (in both the house we moved from and to the loft we moved to), through long, narrow, twisty hallways, and relying on a temperamental elevator.
NorthStar was very professional and reliable throughout the whole process. Prior to the move, we were provided an estimate of the amount that the moving costs would not surpass, and were told that if the movers finished more quickly, it would be cheaper for us. The day before the move, we received a confirmation email/call. The day of the move, 6 movers arrived at 7:30 am. They were everything that you would ever want in great movers – fast, friendly, courteous, efficient, and hard working. We were especially impressed by how well-organized and coordinated they were (which made the move go much more quickly than expected). And they mentioned that they worked well together because they communicated well with each other. By 2:30 or 3 pm all our stuff had been successfully moved to our new place and the bill came in well below the estimate/quote.
This was one of the smoothest and most pain-free moves we’ve ever had. NorthStar definitely deserves every one of the five stars. We will definitely use them again for our next move.
