These guys are professional and friendly, worth every dime spent.
I’ve used their services many times in the past years and have always enjoyed the process. Moving in itself is already big enough of a headache, the last thing you need is additional stress from bad moving companies. I highly recommend Northstar.
Testimonials
Used Northstar for the second time, and they were fantastic! So so stressful to move a five person family, and they just swooped in and took care of business! The price was competitive and completely fair. Highly recommend!
I used them only for unloading a penske truck upon arriving at my new home.
They were wonderful. I showed up an hour or so late, thank you LA traffic, and they were so cool about it and I was not charged extra. They were careful with our things and very friendly. After all the moving horror stories I’ve read I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so painless.
Also, when you call for info the customer service people are super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Lynn at NorthStar moving helped me get together a move to TEXAS including my car (using a different service) FOR THE SAME DAY!!! It was extremely smooth the whole way and the movers actually arrived at my new address in Texas at the perfect time when i was actually getting my keys. THANK YOU!!
I love them! They’re very professional, punctual, friendly and accommodating.
The team we had, Daniel, Frankie and Jonathan, were magnificent. They were polite, gentle, adorable and hardworking. Since we have to move one more time, we’ve already booked them for our next move.
Very happy and highly recommended!

I have never written a yelp review before, but my experience with North Star Moving was worth sharing. I recently moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Virginia and North Star was awesome. Jason and his team on the SF end wrapped my Ikea furniture like it was being shipped to Buckingham Palace. They were on-time, courteous and answered all my questions. On the Virginia end, Santiago and Angel did an excellent job unloading my belongings into my storage space. I couldn’t have asked for a better cross-country moving experience. Everyone knows someone who has a horror-story related to moving and I am so glad I went with North Star. I chose them because they had the highest yelp rating and that was the right decision! They may not have been the cheapest cross-country movers I could find, but it was worth every penny to have everything delivered safely and on-time, and within the cost of the estimate they gave me. I’d recommend them to any of my friends!! And I did use the yelp deal for a $90 savings!

These guys were great. Very professional, hard workers. Tried there best to please me any way they could. I would use them again. Only minor oops but with my super heavy furniture it’s to be expected. The foreman was awesome!!!!!!
My roommate and I used NorthStar on the recommendation of a work colleague, and it turned out great. First the Yelp coupon is a great value. I received a prompt call from the company when I submitted an inquiry in the website, and they were very accommodating as I had to move my destination several times (we were both moving into storage units) and responses to emails were very prompt. All fees were explained up front (California has some weird requirements regarding hourly labor and driving, but everything was on the up and up).
The three movers arrived promptly at the very beginning of the time window they gave me, wrapped the important furniture very well and followed all instructions. The truck was very well packed and everything seemed secure and did not move around at all.
After moving into the storage units, a few items wouldn’t fit and they even wrapped these for me after the fact so I could ship them elsewhere.
Only minor complaint was that I had to supervise the actual packing of the storage unit, as it was a very tight fit and they didn’t use a lot of common sense when putting things into the unit so we had to take things out and retry a few times before it all fit.
Overall a great experience, would highly recommend Northstar to anyone looking for a very professional and competent moving company who wants to avoid the general sketchy feel that I think the moving industry has!

The best moving company period!
Two years after our move from SF to LA, we have returned to SF! Unfortunately, we could not use NorthStar for the move back (my husband’s company paid for the move so we were stuck with their choice of movers). I say unfortunately because our experience moving with NorthStar was superior to our current experience.
Due to issues with our current move, I’ve had to contact NorthStar on multiple occasions for information and records from our last move. Despite not having our current business, Ram, Daisy, and the whole team at NorthStar have been nothing but helpful, courteous, and professional!

aces. they did a great job from start to finish on my local move in Pasadena. what moving company ever receives a 5 star rating? i enjoyed working with them. punctual. a good bit of hustle. and no damages to any of my things. i heard that they train their workers properly and it shows. recommended. this is a real company who wants to earn your business. thanks guys!
This was my first time using NorthStar, and they were amazing from my very first contact with them over the phone through to the end of the move. Their customer service and follow-up is excellent, the pre-move estimator was fabulous and accurate, and the movers were timely, professional, and efficient. Overall, a wonderful experience.
This is my second time using Northstar – both times we had a two stops before our final destination. The guys were courteous and organized and our things were in perfect shape when they arrived. The foreman even took apart and put back together the jigsaw-esque base of my Sleep Number bed. They even helped a couple college kids get my old couch out of my building.
I’ve moved a few times but this was the first time I used NorthStar. They are as good as it gets! Although their hourly rate is a little more expensive, they use 3 movers instead of 2 which makes it go faster. So you pay more per hour, but likely for fewer hours than a 2 person team would charge. Also there is/was a coupon through Yelp that can make it a little cheaper.
They were efficient and courteous and helped make my latest move a breeze. I would definitely use them again!

The move went very well and totally stress free, thanks to the professionalism of the movers and their sense of keeping the customer happy. Right from arrival, packing, moving and unloading.Despite an hourly rate, I was surprised to see they were very fast. They took care of some packing as well and were fast too.
An example of their excellent customer service: I was not ready at the time they arrived and asked for a little more time, though not obliged to do so, they went out of their way and agreed to come back a little later, that was a big help! Beatrice, the coordinator was great as well. The hourly rate is not rock bottom, but if you factor in the fact that you will have a stress free move in a honest amount of time (other providers with lower rates may stretch out the hours), you will come out ahead, plus the Angie’s list coupon is really useful. Thank you for my move!

I used Northstar for a move two years ago, had a terrific experience and decided to use them again. They did not disappoint and were excellent the second time around. There was a lot of communication throughout my move process to make sure everything went smoothly. The three movers were extremely professional, helpful and patient. My furniture and valuables were moved in with no breakage and no hassle.
Definitely ask for Celina… she was incredibly helpful and I would recommend them highly!

My roommate and I used NorthStar to move back in April, they were the best moving company I have ever dealt with. Customer service on the phone was stellar, the moving crew was on time (didn’t think that was possible), they brought wardrobe boxes and were so quick! They moved us from our old 2 bedroom apartment into two separate places down the street from each other. The whole move was quick, and the three guys that moved us were really nice, professional, and were careful when they moved our artwork and other “breakable” pieces. Literally all of my friends use NorthStar, you cannot go wrong.
Celina from NorthStar hooked it up. The Three guys that she sent over for help went above and beyond my expectations. Don’t what I couldn’t of done without their help and especially with Celina expertise. Thanks Northstar for making moving a snap!
These guys were awesome. They completed moving our apartment to our new house, from the westside to the west valley in 2.5 hours. Seriously. I will caveat that everything was boxed, we moved most of the boxes ourselves and they had mostly just the furniture to move. But still, it was a 2 bedroom apartment. The three guys worked very quickly. Didn’t damage anything, didn’t try to sneak in extra charges. Good, honest movers. We had purchased a deal on Yelp that helped with the cost but they were reasonably priced anyway. Definitely recommend.
This was my second time using NorthStar Moving and I think I have found my moving company for life! They came on time, were very friendly, fast, efficient, and respectful. I have an extremely large sectional couch that would not fit through the door of my new apartment but they managed to get it in through the window after trying everything else possible. I will not be using any other moving company as long as these guys cover where I need to move to next!
Outstanding
I had used Northstar for a move years ago and forgot how great they were! I was able to move mid-week so I got a discount, plus the $50 Yelp deal, so it was a bargain for the excellent service I received. There was a TON of communication before the move, confirming that I understood every charge and double confirming arrival times. They got there exactly on time and had me moved in less time than expected. The three movers were extremely helpful, understanding, patient, and professional. My furniture and valuables were moved in with no breakage and no hassle. I would recommend them highly!
I highly recommend NorthStar Moving. David and his guys moved me from Redwood Shores to SF and it was effortless on my part. They wrapped all my furniture and moved it with care. They even took apart furniture that I didn’t even know came apart because they were preparing for small elevator and doorways in SF. I felt that was super pro-active and showed their experience. They put back together my furniture so fast I was really impressed. I’m still unpacking but haven’t found one nick, scratch or broken item yet. They did an amazing job and took away some the stress that typically comes with moving.
Oh, and like others have mentioned they do arrive early so be ready an hour before your time slot.
