I’ve had the pleasure of moving roughly ten times over the last decade, so I consider myself a bit of an expert on moving services. For background on my experience, I was moving a small one bedroom apartment’s worth of items, and it took them 6 hours total, with a stop in between to drop some items off at storage. This crew was hard-working and did a thorough job of protecting and packing all my items. (My last move, for context, damaged ALL of my furniture, and I spent 5 months trying to resolve the claim. NOT enjoyable.) They also arrived early, which was a huge help when you have an afternoon slot! Additionally, it was very affordable, and they were able to accommodate me with only a week or so notice. Overall, would really recommend them!

Jason and team were as good as it gets. They were quick, professional and highly skilled it was a life saver Worth the money, i would use these guys again in a heartbeat.
The moving team Joseph, Juan and Anthony arrived right on time. They immediately took a look at the location and the amount of items that needed to be moved and begun wrapping the furniture with blankets, then proceeded to move boxes and clearing the room one by one. In just under one hour the entire apartment was packed into the truck. Immediately we went to the destination 30 minutes away. The team then once again, unloaded the furniture carefully and completed the entire move slightly over 3hrs. They took no breaks and were professional and delicate with the boxes. Definitely a very well trained team.
Joseph even pointed out the Yelp discount coupon! Very nice!

I can’t even express how easy and stress free our move was. Our last move was an absolute nightmare and we were really nervous about having another bad experience. I picked Northstar based on their great reviews here on yelp. And thankfully these great reviews were accurate!
I was already stressed about this move because I’m 8 months pregnant, but these guys were so great and the price was so reasonable, as well as things being done efficiently and professionally and in a timely manner. I will for sure use them again the next time we move and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable moving company!!

Used this company 4 times in 7 years, and was very satisfied every time. Yes I move a lot…lol
Good afternoon,
I wanted to reach out and thank you and the crew once again for the move today. I can’t express how impressed and pleased Michelle and I are. Michelle even mentioned she’d be using your company for her personal move coming up. It went as well, maybe even better than, I’d planned. Please thank them all once more for both of us.
I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to work with such professional and hard-working people.
Thanks again and have a great rest of the week 🙂

This is the first review i’ve every written on Yelp but was called to do so because NorthStar was so great! The movers showed up early which worked out well for me but they were clear that if i wasn’t ready they would wait and start at the agree’d time no problem. They were really nice and professional and they worked very fast and super hard, were accommodating to all my various requests to do things this way or that, didn’t damage anything and on the move in put everything exactly where i wanted it, even when that meant moving a few of the larger pieces a couple times. Totally worth every dime!
I had a smallish move within San Francisco and went with NorthStar based on the Yelp reviews and their excellent Yelp deal. I couldn’t have been happier with everything. I called only a week or two before I needed to move and they had one of the days I requested. The three guys were really polite, efficient, and nice. At my new place, the guys asked where I wanted everything. At the end of the the move, they even put my bed frame together and put the mattresses on it!
I used NorthStar Moving Company in late November to move from San Francisco to Mill Valley. I have nothing but great things to say about the service and professionalism I experienced with the company. The team was punctual, courteous and professional the entire time and made sure I was completely satisfied with the handling and arrangement of my things. I HIGHLY recommend these guys and will certainly be using them again if I ever have to move.
We chose North Star based on their Yelp ratings and reviews, and we then had a great moving experience with them. Our team (Ariel, Jadiel, Isaack M, and Javier) were all professional, and we had a zero-damage move. They arrived on time, and we got the move done several hours faster than estimated, so it came in approximately $500 under the estimate. Everyone I interacted with at North Star was professional, from the original phone receptionist, to the estimator, and to the movers themselves. I’d highly recommend them for Los Angeles moves.
NO REGRETS WITH NORTH STAR.
I decided to call NorthStar after getting a recommendation from a friend/colleague who has ONLY ever used NorthStar for his multiple moves, and who assured me these guys are the best.
Alex Ramirez arrived at my place for the estimate and was ever-so professional, efficient and assured me my furniture would arrive in Los Angeles (from San Jose) promptly and 100% in-tact, no questions asked. And, perhaps, most importantly, the estimated price was very reasonable.
Sure enough, come moving day, the crew of 4, lead by Nemer, was careful with my valuables, extremely thorough and packed and loaded quickly.
Three days later, my load arrived at my new home in Los Angeles and Joseph Vanegas and his crew of three were FABULOUS. Within 4 hours my boxes were unloaded in my 3rd floor condo and EVERYTHING was accounted for and in-tact, as promised. It’s also worth mentioning, they don’t just unload the boxes just anywhere; they’re more than happy and willing to put the furniture where it belongs and, of course, reassemble when necessary. THEY ARE A FULL-SERVICE CREW.
Throughout this entire process, my assigned project manager, Alex, checked-in regularly, making sure I was a satisfied customer. And when all was said and done, Alex called one last time to ensure my move was complete and up-to-par. I told him, like my friend who gave me the initial recommendation, I would only ever use NorthStar, moving forward.

My easiest and the cheapest move EVER!
These guys are as good as it gets! We moved on Halloween day 2013, Oscar and his team were awesome: 1) due to our mistake, they arrived at our address in the SF instead of Berkeley. They drove to Berkeley across the bridge at no charge! 2) Due to the high slope and the narrow road, the truck could not be parked near the new house. Oscar and his team had to carry all the boxes up the hill and up the stairs! I would never move with another company!!!

We have been very pleased with NorthStar. We have recently used them for one cross country and one local move. Both times Alex worked closely with us to understand the moves and the special needs. Tim and his crew were fast and very careful in how they handled our antique furniture and collectables for both moves. We would be happy to recommend them and would use them again if we need to move (but we hope not any time soon.)
Great deal, and will definitely use them again. Everything went really smoothly and they were on time and on budget.
We hired Northstar to move my elderly parents and they could not have been better! Our initial meeting for the free “not to exceed” estimate was great, and we loved knowing what our maximum cost would be. Then the day of the move, the 3 movers arrived a few minutes EARLY, they were all friendly, careful with everything, and very efficient. They actually wound up finishing way ahead of the estimated timeframe, not a thing was broken or misplaced, and all went smoothly! They really made the move simple and effortless for my parents!! Thank you Northstar!!!
My experience with NorthStar has been great! I was running late and didn’t have time to pack several of my belongings. When the crew of 3 movers came, they were not only prompt, but helped me pack everything and got it all out within an hour! What really amazed me was they not only helped disassemble my futon and desks, but reassembled everything back up in my new place! Everything was placed in relatively the same set up I had at my old apartment. They were very courteous and professional. Great team!
Excellent company to work with–very professional, courteous people starting with the owner and down to the actual moving guys. Worked with them on a couple of occasions including same day move. No hidden fees or charges–what you are quoted is what you get. Thanks Ron for a great service!
Factor, Jonathan and Guido did an incredible job moving us from our 2 bedroom apt into our new house. They were able to get everything moved carefully and efficiently in under 4 hours. Everything was done impeccably. Thanks fellas.
Phenomenal service! Very professional, friendly, and quick. Our move to Colorado took only 4 days even though we had a much longer window. The crew on both ends were great- real pros and good guys. All of our stuff was well-protected. The price was less than I expected. I’m so glad we chose to go with Northstar over driving a rental truck ourselves. And Alma at their HQ was very friendly and on top of everything. I can’t recommend them enough and we will definitely contact them again the next time we move (though hopefully no time soon).
Thanks for all your help, guys!
Thanks for all your help, guys!
I couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience. NorthStar Moving Company was on time and handled my belongings with care. I will definitely use them again!
My move couldn’t have gone better. The movers were incredibly nice and phenomenally efficient. Not to mention the costs were totally reasonable. I highly recommend them!
I’ve used NorthStar Moving three times. A+ experience every time. The movers are prompt, courteous, and professional.
The best!!
I moved a truckload of valuable and enormous wooden furniture from Santa Monica to Oakland, and these guys were fantastic! Gerardo A., Oscar I., and Gustavo R not only moved it all in without a scratch, but were all nice, friendly and polite to boot. I had some heavy boxes and chairs in the way of where the furniture was to be placed, and whoosh! They just moved it all for me and placed everything right where I wanted it to the inch. Use these guys. you’ll be glad you did!

This was the best moving experience I’ve ever had with movers, and I have moved A LOT. Factor, Will, and Chris were the three man team that conducted my local move from a one bedroom apartment to putting all my furniture in a storage unit. They showed up on time and were very pleasant and polite. Even though I paid by the hour, they were very fast and very careful (they had all furniture shrink-wrapped and loaded onto the truck in one hour). It was very evident that they were experienced. Getting my furniture into my tiny storage space was like a challenging tetris puzzle, but Will and Factor had some type of visual-spatial gift that helped them work it out. I’m not sure I could have done it without them. The appointment and office staff were very friendly and upfront with the charges so there are no surprises when you go to pay. I will definitely use NorthStar again for my next move, and I will be requesting the same awesome team: Factor, Will, and Chris.
