Just moved again and used NorthStar a second time, 3.5 years after the first. I think the service was even more impressive this time. In 3.5 years, I added a lot of stuff to an already huge amount, and was certain my 3 bedroom 2 bath move was going to kill me financially. NorthStar’s estimate was about 2/3 of what I figured I’d have to pay. On top of that, the four man crew I had – Oscar, Steve, Jose, and Edel – did the job so efficiently that the total came in at over 15% under the estimate, and they went above and beyond – they made sure everything was where it needed to be in the new house, and even helped me move appliances (including a dryer upstairs!) out of the new place. Super courteous, super quick, absolutely the best. Can’t recommend them enough. Moving is always stressful, but way less so with these guys doing the job.

This was our second time using NorthStar Moving Co., and we were not disappointed again. We had Steve, Steve, and Aaron. All were very professional and efficient. No time wasted, and all items were taken care of. These guys are pros.

Fantastic movers! I bought the Yelp coupon at the recommendation of the representative who booked my move. It was a very good deal- $50 for $100. Our movers packed up an antique mirror, a 60″ flat screen, clothing (in complimentary boxes), and moved heavy antique furniture (including a piano.) they were friendly, on time, polite and courteous, helpful, and cautious of my things, and speedy! I will ALWAYS move with NorthStar after our experience.

Moved from a 2 bedroom apartment to a new house this weekend. Tim, Manny and Jose took great care of our stuff and did the move fast. Northstar is also very reasonable in terms of price, especially for things like wrapping and protecting your furniture. Other places will totally rip you off with these hidden costs, but Northstar was very upfront and reasonable about it. If it ever comes time to move again, this is the company I’ll use!

I have come out of Yelp retirement to write this review because I was so incredibly happy with NorthStars service. When I first called I spoke with Jessica, little did I know she would be my new best moving buddy. She was friendly and patient explaining the whole process to me, answering all my questions, even alerting me to the yelp deal. Anyone that gives you great service and saves you money is good in my book! It was also nice that she called to check in with me pre/post move and knowing that I could call her at any point was very reassuring. As for the actual move, Diego and his team were amazing. They were friendly and polite and Diego took time to walk around the house with me and listen to my caffeine deprived, hectic move morning, scatter brained plan. Then they took off into action, and once they started moving they did not stop! In fact everything happened so fast, before I knew it I was racing to drive to the new house to open the doors for them. Once at the new house they were back at it. In fact I had to ask them to slow down so my brain could catch up with them. I was a little frazzled trying to figure out where everything should go, trying to plan for that house warming party I want to have over the summer, my mind wandering and excited for being in the new house. Several times the guys reminded me that they were there to do the moving and that I should stop trying to carry the boxes myself, and that all I needed to do was tell them what to do. They also offered to stay and move everything into the exact place I wanted it, all I needed to do was tell them where. While I do not plan on moving for a very long while, I will sing NortStars praises to anyone who I know is planning a move.

Awesome crew! Mike B., the foreman with Brandon MC. and Sam R. Showed up on time, negotiated a very difficult situation of getting the huge truck onto my driveway, packed and loaded within the estimated load time (actually 1/2 hour earlier), arrived on time (not missing to call me when they stopped for a 1/2 hour lunch) unloaded within the estimated time and the deed was done! Very cool young men who worked hard and diligently, showed great patience when moving things into the new house and helped move a few things a couple of times. Thank you North Star Moving Company, a stressful day went by easy and smooth! To the young men, Mike, Brandon and Sam, who moved all my stuff, thanks guys you were an awesome team! It was really cool working with you!

Our movers showed up so promptly we were barely prepared for them. A great team of three guys worked quickly to get us moved. The large items were wrapped in blankets and taped to protect them so everything arrived in the condition it left in. The woman on the phone even referred us to the Yelp Deal which was appreciated. Overall, NorthStar made a stressful, busy day a lot more pleasant. Thanks NorthStar.

I read the reviews, and NorthStar Moving Company sounded great. They are better than great. They arrived 07:45 for the promised 8-10 arrival. The 3 guys emptied my house so fast that I had to rush to keep up. They were polite and courteous when I wanted to check and re-check that I had gotten everything. Then to my new apartment, and the guys emptied the truck very quickly. I got a 5% discount from my apartment complex, and bought the $125 off for $50 Yelp coupon, so my entire move was very reasonable. Great job, NorthStar!

Sal, David and Oscar helped us move out of our apartment in the Peninsula to our new condo in South Bay. They were hard working and worked very quickly.  Lynn helped us coordinate the move and was readily available and easy to communicate with.

Everything arrived at the condo in perfect condition. But what really impressed is that they reassembled our bed without us having to ask. Maybe this is standard but we really appreciated it. They also helped us transport donations to the Salvation Army.

All in all, we were quite pleased with the whole experience, especially for the price. Thank you NorthStar! 

Long overdue, but that’s because I was out of the country. North Star is 5 stars. We had Jimmy, Ray and a super sweet guy whose name I can’t remember move us. They were “A” crew material. 3 guys came to move us from a two story house in the Presidio all the way to Berkeley. 

-Break down
-Wrap EVERYTHING (no im  serious, everything…antique dining room table, king bed, antique secretary….)
-(we packed the boxes….but we were still helping pack when they were leaving)
-Move everything into the truck tightly
-Get everything out of the truck into the proper rooms to the third floor of a building with no elevator
-Work non-stop, take no breaks and have fun doing it the entire time.

At the end of the move I forgot to tell them I had a Yelp deal and they worked it in and even tried making sure I got the lowest rate I could. These guys were super super all stars and seriously worth every penny.

I had called Delancy and One Man and a bunch of other people, but listen — when it comes to moving your stuff — you want quality. Sure other people might quote you less, but the communication with these guys is awesome, they always email/call back and don’t ignore voice mail messages like some other people.

Plus this is now the 3rd time I had someone else tell me these guys are legit. 3 separate experiences by individuals who barely know  each other and everyone says these are work super hard and do a great job.

Anna who helped me online was always very nice. She kept reminding me to leave this review and I did need reminding because they set me up so quickly and did everything so well I was able to jump right back into work without a second thought. So while it’s a bit late (my move was right after Xmas) I hope that this helps others understand just how awesome their customer service and moving team is. True Professionals.

OH OH OH …. hardwood floors. Presidio to Berkeley Condo….

These guys really tried to pay attention to NOT nic any floors or hurt the walls. ATTENTION to detail and moving fast? This crew deserves raises for sure.

After reading the reviews on yelp, I decided to use Northstar for my local move.  I was moving from a 1 bedroom apartment to a house.  I thought 3 movers was overkill but that was the minimum size for a local move.  The crew arrived on time, was very friendly and extremely helpful.  They helped help me properly dispose of an old entertainment center I wasn’t taking with me which wasn’t easy.  The floors in the home had just been refinished and the crew was extra careful not to scratch it.  They even helped me get a heavy sofabed into the guest room which had a very tight hallway.  It was like a rubix cube but they figured out how angle it in  I think I will have to disassemble it to get it out, it was that hard.  Best of all they finished almost exactly at the three hour minimum.  Overall a great experience for something as miserable as moving  I would definitely use them again for my next move.

These guys were great!  They called me two hours before they were set to arrive.  They showed up on time, with three guys and a HUGE truck to move all of my things.  We were moving into a newly remodeled home with the original hardwood floors and I was very nervous about damaging the fresh paint and refinished floors.  They were GREAT, fast, and took care of my new home and my belongings.  I would use them again… but hopefully not for a while!  🙂  They called me to check in after the move to make sure that everything had gone smoothly.  Apparently, they now have an estimator who will come out and do a free estimate with a “do not exceed” clause for your move.  That way you’ll know the most you’ll be expected to pay.  Great movers!

We moved in early January using NorthStar Moving Company and it was the best moving experience I’ve ever had. Alan M., Antonio C., and Marco A. were super fast, helpful and just generally on the ball. I also loved that when we booked Northstar they let us know about a Yelp discount coupon which saved us some money on the move. Not every day that a company directs you to save money. Will for sure be using them again.

This was my first time using NorthStar Moving Co. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Ron Cohen, estimator, answered my questions patiently and timely and made the whole process seamless. The movers (Omar, Francisco, Jose and Joshua) were a great team. If I have to move again, they would be my first choice. They showed up close to the scheduled time, went right to work, worked efficiently and worked hard. These guys clearly knew what they were doing and gave helpful suggestions to ensure nothing was broken. They also had a great attitude and clearly showed they enjoyed their job, which helped put me at ease. Customer Service was sharp and helpful. Was very pleased to end up paying less than the NTE quote and using the Yelp coupon. If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I would.

NorthStar’s five stars are very much deserved. I can say, hands down, that in the past 14 years of moving around, I have never had such a wonderful moving experience.

Ron, our estimator, was friendly, efficient and honest. He gave us a great quote, offered us useful moving advice and we actually ended up paying less than he originally quoted us.

The movers treated our things with respect. We didn’t really experience any damage to our belongings, which was a lovely surprise. And the whole process was headache-free.

I’ve been recommending NorthStar to everyone under the sun (awful pun intended).
