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.
these movers are really awesome, 3 guys showed up on time and moved stuff from my 2 bedroom apt in under 4 hours, great guys, very reliable and safe movers
NorthStar was great to work with! I worked with them on two different moves I did. They were on time, fast, helpful, and got the job done!
I had an absolutely wonderful moving experience with NorthStar. Once they arrived, all of my furniture was loaded into the van within 45 minutes, including the dismantling of an L-shaped sofa. Once we arrived at the new apartment complex, they were aware of an even better way (back door) to get the furniture into the apartment complex because they had been there prior. I would recommend this company to anyone for a local move. I will most likely use them again when the time comes.
Seamless process! I moved just across the Bay from SF to Berkeley, and North Star made it very easy. Booking was straightforward, and they checked in to confirm the day before. 3 movers came, and were friendly and professional. Packed my room up quickly and were on their way. Unpacking was just as simple. Side note- my room in both locations was located on the 3rd floor, stairs only, but the crew was not phased, and efficiency was not compromised. Yelp deal obviously was a nice touch.
Only downside is that they gave me a 6 hour window of when they were coming (between 12-6). I was a little worried about having to wait around, but they actually arrived at 11:50am, so it wasn’t an issue.
Awesome movers!
I have now used NorthStar for two moves, and definitely recommend them. Both times, the crews showed up on time, worked efficiently, and tackled challenges with skillful, professional problem solving. The rates I received were competitive (and I appreciated the repeat customer discount!) and the movers did not add any hidden charges. NorthStar did a great job of getting everything to the new place – now it’s just on us to unpack!
Mr. Ron Cohen, Project Manager
Northstar Moving Company
Dear Mr. Cohen,
It is my pleasure to write this letter of commendation for one of your moving crews as they completed the first stage of our move out-of-state. From their early arrival to their afternoon departure, every procedure they made, every interaction with my wife or myself, and every item they prepared for storage and movement was done with courtesy, extreme efficiency, and tireless diligence.
The crew lead, John Henry Wilson III masterfully coordinated the sequence, insulation, and loading of our valued goods. It was obvious that both Ariel Camacho-Ramirez and Steven Anthony Cavazos respected their crew leader, in no small part because he always worked with them and worked fully as hard as they did. There was never any wasted time or movements. Their work reflects well on Northstar Moving and its managers.
I have appreciated working with you to coordinate our major move. Hopefully, this same crew will be able to complete the 2nd phase of the project. Please arrange to have a copy of this letter posted in each man’s personnel file and perhaps a copy for each personally. Those are the type of employees the company should go to every length to retain.
Most sincerely,
Shawn Hansen, customer

The packing part of moving is horrible but they made it easy. They were quick, nice and around the same price as others I checked out. They kept me informed and called me to give exact times. Even checked up afterwards to make sure all went well. Hopefully, do not have to move again but would use them again.

A flawless, seamless and painless move! We recently moved from Los Angeles to San Diego. We contacted NorthStar who was willing to come give us a quote. We worked with Ilan (ask for him), who helped us figure out the most cost effective move. On move day, the team arrived, as anticipated. The worked hard and efficiently, but took great care in wrapping our furniture and breakables. They had it down to a science. When they unloaded, they too, were incredible. They made sure everything was in its place before they left. Overall, an amazing experience. I would use them again.
I just used Northstar Movers again for another move. Everything went perfectly. The staff was some of the more helpful, less pushy people on the phone than the other companies I got quotes from. They called to confirm times with me a day before and even took my request for the movers to get there closer to the noon side of the afternoon time slot. I couldn’t get a morning time slot but the movers showed up around 12:30 which made me very happy since the window they give you is 12-6pm. My move for the equivalent of a 1 bedroom apartment took about 3.5 hours including some packing that I had been slacking on. The men were very helpful and took care to pack my things well but quickly. Everything made it safely with my move and I have not noticed any scratches or marks on any of my things. Again, I would highly recommend this company. Good service, courteous employees, competitive rates, and a yelp deal!
My husband and I have moved about 14 times in the last 16 yrs and this was the first time we ever hired someone to move us. We were a little nervous and I called numerous other companies prior to chosing NorthStar.
1st thing is, dont be afraid when some tatted up guys show up at your door! Gerardo, Christian and Gustavo were great! They called about 30 mins prior to their arrival to say they were on their way which I really appreciated. They came into my home with respect and manners and didnt waste time getting right to the job. After the paperwork was filled out they were quick and efficient at getting all the boxes loaded and taking careful steps to make sure our furniture didnt get damaged. They carefully wrap every piece of furniture in blankets even the furniture that wasnt that nice!) and tape and shrinkwrapped the mattresses and sofa. My husband has 2 large and extremely heavy tool boxes which the guys got on and off the truck with no complaints (even tho I’m sure they were hating it on the inside!) they hussled yet were careful and I cannot say enough good things about them. PLEASE BE SURE TO TIP YOUR MOVERS! THEY ARE HARD WORKING GUYS! I wish I had tipped them more.
Thank you NorthStar, I am sure I will be moving again in a couple years and I sure as heck am not ever doing it myself again after this experience!
I’ve moved a handful of times and NorthStar is hands down the best movers in Los Angeles. They are punctual, smooth, and so friendly they even took pictures with my family! Everyone of the movers was efficient and competent. For once I didn’t have to micromanage or worry. They had it under control the whole time. I’m even having them move my office this month and I couldn’t feel better about it. Call them now!
They were great! Efficient, friendly and organized. It cost a little more than we planned because of their double driving policy and some traffic we hit, but that was more poor planning on our part. Used the Yelp deal with no problem. I will definitely be using them again, if we ever move again!
I had a big move to make in a short time way up and halfway across the country for a really important job, transplanting me quickly from LA to Minneapolis. And I had to plan all this a bit more than a month in advance, just on the cusp of my leaving the country for a month. Needless to say, I was really anxious and short on time. So I couldn’t have been luckier than I was when I connected with Ron Cohen at North Star. In a mere couple of days after I first called him, Ron came over to give me an estimate that was a thousand dollars less than those supplied by local representatives from NorthStar’s competitors. Though NorthStar’s movers themselves averaged somewhere in the middle in terms of packing and unloading quality, they were quicker than usual, and arrived earlier than I expected! Best of all, if I had any questions or concerns during the actual process of picking up and delivering my things, Ron was super responsive to my texts and calls. As a person who moves nearly once a year, I can say with confidence that the level of trust and integrity Ron embodies is a real rarity in this business. To wit, he even checked in with me a few weeks later, to make sure I was satisfied. I recommend reaching out to him if you have a move in your near future.
They were great. We didn’t realize that they accidentally left with some of our things and came back to drop it off the next day. Honest, friendly and considerate of our belongings. I would recommend them to anyone moving in this area.
Definitely my go to moving company in LA. Always on time, professional, fairly priced, and never breaks a thing. I’ve used them twice: one on a long haul move from Texas to California, and locally in LA. The customer service and follow up you get before & after is top notch, plus they’re very kind and offer good deals to Yelpers.
This is my second time using NorthStar Moving as I wanted a hassle free and low stress move, I knew NorthStar would deliver. But this second time using NorthStar surpassed the last thanks to NorthStar Moving crew leader Hector Campos and his
2 helpers. I knew we were off to a good start when Hector called me an hour ahead of schedule at 7am. They were in my doorstep by 7:30am and was greeted by Hector and his crew with a professional first impression. They asked for direction and began to work packing my stuff right away. Hector leaded his crew and checked in with me to make sure everything went smoothly. We went past the 3 hour minimum but was impressed I was not charged the full extra hour but only the time actually used which was less than the full hour. I appreciate all your help to Hector and his 2 movers. I dont know how you guys do it day in day out several times a day for a labor intesive moving chore. Northstar did its job by taking the moving stress away from me. Also props to Lynn B. Shimon for the initial appointment set up through her quick email communication and follow-up. I also dealt with Lynn 1st time using Northstar and liked her quick follow-ups. And thank you Alma Lopez for moving up my appointment to earlier time. 🙂
And I took advantage of the Yelp special and saved $50! 😀
What a wonderful moving team!! Hector Lampos and Jose Salazar moved us this month – they were very quick and careful with all of our belongings. They are hard working individuals and very kind/friendly, therefore, I would definitely hire them again and or recommend them to my clients, friends and family.
