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!
Testimonials
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.
I, like many of the reviewers here, thought NorthStar did a great job. Jason and his crew worked fast, were polite and friendly, and got me moved out and in without a hitch. I think these guys are worth their weight in gold, as they worked their butts off getting my stuff up several flights of stairs. Would gladly use them again.
Moving? A piece of cake! I asked for 5 different quotes, and those guys gave me the best one. Moving from a two bedroom apartment in Santa Monica to a two bedroom condo in South Pasadena with a lot of boxes and very heavy pieces of furniture (L shaped couch, huge buffet, huge desk, dining table… the whole shebang). First of, Ana Coy was always great on the phone, before and after the move. Second, the movers were not only very efficient but also great to talk to: Gustavo and your team, thank you so much. Arrived on time, very polite, smiling a lot (I would have cried). Nothing broke, scratched. I will definitely use them again. Thanks again, I am impressed.

I just moved long distance, from Los Angeles to Providence, RI (nearly as long distance as you can get within the US). As you might expect, I was extremely nervous about an undertaking of this magnitude.
Well, having hired NorthStar, I needn’t have worried. The entire moving process was flawless. Alan came out to my place to give me an estimate, which was extremely accurate. There was a bit of a hiccup with the movers arriving but Alan took complete control of the situation and made sure things came out the right way. The moving team was prompt, efficient, professional, polite, and pleasant.
On the Providence end, again, movers were prompt, professional, and courteous. Wendy also helped me and was thorough, thoughtful, and extremely helpful.
I would absolutely hire NorthStar again, in a heartbeat. They were outstanding and really took the stress out of one of the most stressful things one can undertake.
These guys are awesome!! They were right on time and booked it getting my whole house loaded up and unpacked. They didnt waste any time! They were super polite too. I had to leave to get to work and by the time I got home my whole house was set up. They took the time to roll out the rug in my living room and set up the couch and coffee table. They also put furniture pads on everything so the wood floors wouldnt get scratched up. Loved them!!!! 🙂
Northstar was awesome! Highly recommend them. They were responsive and reached out throughout the process, arrived promptly, finished quickly, and were upfront about costs. My team was Gerardo, Jose and Rene, and they were awesome. Only downside is that I didn’t know whether to tip and didn’t have cash on hand at the time – not sure if this was included or not! Highly recommend and will use again.
The Yelp Discount is fantastic.
I was told my movers would show up between 8am and 11am, they gave me a call at 7:30am and told me they were on their way and they arrived by 7:45am. Fantastic. The three men who helped me move did all the necessary work swiftly and carefully. They were also extremely friendly to talk to.
NorthStar also checked in at every step of the process to make sure the move went smoothly. It is easy to find a moving company in SF – tough to find a good one. This is a good one.
The only downside for me personally was that I live alone and having 3 movers may have been excessive for me (they have a minimum of 3 movers help you). The cost, however, was still comparable to a smaller moving company with fewer men, so it wasn’t like I had to pay for frivolous services.
**Note** have some cash on hand to tip your movers! They won’t bring it up at all that you can tip them, but you can and they work hard. I wish I had realized that and had more cash at the ready (downside of an all plastic payment lifestyle).
