They did a great job moving us from San Francisco to Oakland.
Although we had a lot of things of pack, they took care of everything and were super attentive to put things where we wanted.
Highly recommended!
Testimonials
I have moved twice with NorthStar Movers: once from LA to Irvine and once within Irvine. I was super happy that we used NorthStar in both cases. The movers were efficient, careful and polite. Nothing got damaged during either move, and moving day was stress free. Ron Cohen was our estimator for the moves, and he gave us good advice about where we could sensibly save money in preparing for moving day and what things were best left to the movers. After our first move with NorthStar, I was pleasantly surprised by the final bill as we had gotten estimates from other companies that were significantly higher.
This moving company was very communicative, professional, and timely! We had to move in the rain from a suburb to a downtown and it went smoothly and they even helped me reassemble my bed frames. They didn’t seem to cut any corners and took great care of my belongings. The move took about 7 hours for a 2 bedroom apartment. Albert, Santos, and José R were really nice guys too! I would use them again in a heartbeat.
We recently used Northstar Moving to help us relocate from California to Austin, Texas right before the holiday. This wasn’t our first cross-country move, but it was one of the best. They helped provide us a quote, schedule a packing day, move-out and move-in all within a few short weeks. We moved from a three story town home into a single family home in Austin – with all the things that come from living in a home for several years, including fragile items, cookware, furniture, televisions and electronics etc.
When our stuff arrived we had another excellent crew help move our stuff into our home. All of our stuff arrived, undamaged, and in the exact condition it was packed in. They made it so much easier to settle into our new home. I’d highly recommend using them if you are exploring a local or cross country move.
Jose and his crew were really great. We chose the packing and moving service for our move from SF to Oakland. It was a little on the pricey side, but I felt that all of my belongings were safe and the packing and moving went by very quickly. I’ve definitely had bad experiences with moving companies in the past, so I was happy to see the professionalism of everyone involved. Randy helped me get started initially and Jose and his crew took it from there!
We have moved twice in the last year and used a different highly rated moving company the previous time. Our experience with NorthStar was vastly superior. The movers were quick and professional and the price was much better. We’re very happy we went with NorthStar this time.
Couldn’t be more pleased with NorthStar Moving Company and would 100% highly recommend them. The great experience started with Lorena who provided a quote through a virtual consultation. She was then very responsive to a number of questions I emailed her about regarding the move details. The great experience continued today during the actual move with Isael, Carlos, Cristobal, Eclalio and Gustabo. Isael and his team were punctual, worked quickly but thoughtfully and were great about communicating with us regarding what stays, what goes and where things should go in the new house. Moving is very stressful and Lorena and Isael’s team helped reduce that stress substantially because at every step I knew we were working with very professional and responsive individuals. If you are moving I would highly recommend NorthStar.
North Star movers provided efficient, organized, and great service. The team was very prompt and they were very good at what they do. Upon arrival they did a quick walk through and within 15 minutes started the job. No time was wasted and they made sure to communicate any issues or problems. The loading and unloading went very smoothly. They took very good care of our personalized items. The best part was knowing we had a great team working with us that day. They were all great guys and enjoyed what they do. I would highly recommend them in any type of move big or small.

Thank you so much!
The moving team was amazing. They were very helpful and talented.
Especially Sanjeev Dhewant (Sam) who was the first contact for Northstar did a great job. He was very responsive and friendly. This is the second time that we worked with these guys in the last 5 years.
This is the second time I’ve used Northstar Moving Company. The first time I was moved from San Fransisco to Phoenix. The second time was a local move in Phoenix about a year later. Both times I was extremely impressed with the ease of scheduling the move and the promptness of the movers. The movers are very conscientious packing belongings and moving up and downstairs. Everything was on time and taken care of as expected. I cannot recommend Northstar Moving enough.
This was my second move using Northstar. They were responsive at every point, efficient, and conscientious. I hope i won’t be moving again any time soon, but if so, i wouldn’t hesitate to call Northstar. I especially appreciate that they provide a “not to exceed” price, so no surprises.
Northstar moved my 1br +plus a large storage unit into a 3 bedroom house. There 3 movers and they began around 10am. The whole thing took many hours and the total came to about $1,300, which I think was a fair price. Let me explain.
They moved quickly. Other than a meal break they didn’t rest until the job was done and I feel they were efficient. It just takes a while to disassemble, wrap furniture, load, drive, unwrap, assemble, and put in the house exactly where we want it to go, which means trial and error.
Also, my house has stupidly narrow hallways and doorframes, so it took a long time to maneuver the fridge and large pieces, but I liked that. I would rather it take 10 minutes just to fit the fridge through the door than them just banging it through and hurting the wood frame.
Oh and they held the furniture on it’s side for us so we could attach sliders under ALL the furniture. So we made the service longer.
The point is it cost a lot of money, but based on my short conversations with other companies, Northstar’s pricing and terms were fair and we would hire them again.
I would give them 10 out of 5 stars. So easy to book my move (just about a week and a half out from our move day) and they were in constant communication confirming and ensuring I knew they would be there, on time, and ready to move us. Our team was so fast, we have had to move a lot, in a lot of places (Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles) so we’ve had some rough experiences. My husband was shocked when they were done- he was bracing himself for a long long day. It was a quick 4 hours and I paid exactly what I was quoted. This was so smooth, fast, no hidden costs, super polite and conscientious movers. I will use Northstar every time we have to move. I highly recommend!!
Our experience with Northstar was amazing ! The entire company was communicative and responsive from the get go. Johan G, Noel S and Enrique P were courteous and extremely efficient . They called 30 mins before arrival, did a walk through at the starting location and immediately got to work . They were careful with our fragile belongings and made sure to cover everything that went in the truck. When they arrived at the drop off location, they did another walk thru of the space . They ensured each box and each piece of furniture went where it was supposed to go. These guys made what is normally a very stressful day that much easier!
I highly recommend this company !
Almost ten years ago (based on a friend’s recommendation) we used NorthStar for a considerably easier job.
We loved them then so they were our first (and only) choice when it was time to move again. (Note: I initiated contact through Yelp, did not expect/want a barrage of quotes to come from OTHER movers–yes, I got offered several good deals, but I didn’t bother with them because they were not NorthStar.)
We’ve acquired a lot of heavy vintage furniture over the years, our new place is much more complicated to get to, we’re still in a pandemic, and despite it being mid-November, it was 80 degrees out. Not the best circumstances for moving. That didn’t matter.
The three-person team of Manny, Alfonso, and Willy were amazing! Throughout it all, they were masked up, carefully wrapping everything that needed it, carrying several heavy items upstairs with such grace, ensuring everything was in its proper place.
Now that the most stressful part of moving is out of the way, we can once again thank NorthStar for their stellar professionalism and excellent service and price! Considering everything, I don’t think you can get a better deal.
I find myself on Yelp reviews for 1-star and 5-star reviews, but for NorthStar, there are not enough stars to select to equal the exemplary service I received. After a horrific moving experience out of Sacramento, NorthStar came to my rescue. Not only did Kate respond to my request within an hour, the entire team was ABOVE and BEYOND responsive. They always had the RIGHT answer for me too. In a year where I felt customer service was nothing but, NorthStar re-instilled my faith in companies who are there for you.
They were communicative, on-time, friendly and did exactly as they promised. No doubt I would use them again – 100%. For anyone looking for a mover, they are the real deal!
Thank you Kate, Thank you NorthStar!
Great experience with NorthStar, Abel and Jorge were the best! They worked efficiently to move all my belongings through a maze of a building with an elevator and expertly loaded my 20 foot Uhaul for a long distance move. They very carefully wrapped all of my furniture in blankets and shrink wrap, which I really appreciated. Everything was super protected. I hadn’t finished packing, so they stepped in (with specialty boxes, paper, and bubble wrap they supplied) and packed fragile items like lamps and artwork. Was so impressed with their professionalism and helpfulness, couldn’t have gotten out of my apartment on time without them! Highly recommend, these guys are pros and do things right.
Jose, Juan, Ruben were awesome! They were so quick, professional and moved everything with no issues!!! We’ve used Northstar twice now and will always recommend to a friend!
After reading online Yelp reviews my roommates and I decided to go with NorthStar Moving Company. When we reached out to the company via email the representative we were connected with was incredibly helpful: he provided moving tips, cost estimates, and gave us a general idea of what to expect with the move.
When the day of the move came everything fell into place — no hassles or problems at all.
We hired three movers (Carlos, Roberto, and Mario) and boy did they make our lives easy. They dealt with all of the boxes and heavy furniture with ease. They were on time, communicative, and respectful of our new condo — we had new carpet installed so they put down mats when they moved.
At the end of the move they went over the moving costs and guided us through each expense added to our receipt, no hidden costs!
If you’re looking for movers to assist you with your next move then I’d highly recommend NorthStar Moving, they’re definitely worth it!
The best moving experience – from start to finish. We used them for a SF-NY move and will highly recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. Reliable, courteous and careful – exactly what you need to take some of the stress out of moving. Sanjeev provided a reliable moving estimate and was available and patient with all subsequent questions – A+++ service. Juan, Jose and Ruben were rockstars! They were fast, efficient and took care of our stuff as if their own. A thousand thanks!
Great movers, highly recommend!
They were fast and efficient. Were pretty careful with everything.
If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would. The team at Northstar did it again. Ron Cohen is as always, very responsive, consultative and on top of all of the details and logistics. Thank you Ron!!!
All of the coordination pre-move day was spot on, detailed, timely and very organized. On move day, my moving team, big shout out to Johan, David and Enrique were awesome. They were communicative, patient, very efficient and really careful with all of my belongings. Northstar always does such an amazing job of and they remove a lot of the stress of moving. I have remained a loyal customer over the years and will continue to in the future. If you’re looking for a reliable moving company with great customer service, don’t hesitate, choose Northstar Movers. Thank you again Team Northstar!
Austin, Mike, and Noah are fabulous! They made my moving experience so swift and easy! So professional! Highly recommend!!!! I will refer my friends and family for sure!! Thanks!!
We have moved fourteen times in the past twelve years; sometimes we’ve used movers, and other times we undertook it ourselves. After a number of terrible experiences with multiple moving companies, we were reluctant to use movers ever again. This time we had to, so we bit the bullet, and boy are we glad that NorthStar Moving Company is in this business! We had never used them before, and we only reached out because of reviews like this one; they were amazing! The crew showed up on time, packed and moved two storage units, then drove them eighty miles to our destination without a glitch, without a complaint, and without forgetting about customer service for a split second. I don’t post reviews often, but when I do it’s either because the service was horrendous or because it was exemplary. We recommend NorthStar Moving Company to everyone, and we will use them for all moving needs going forward.
NorthStar moved me from Sherman Oaks, Ca to Cathedral City. I found them to be reliable, afordable, and very careful in packing and moving my items. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
