Best moving experience I ever had. They did the move with no damage, ahead of schedule and under budget. Dominick leads his crew like a professional; he and his crew are amazing!
They moved the contents of a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in Studio City to a much smaller 2 BR/2BA in Simi. I had 2 huge, already assembled, shelving units to solve the problem of moving into a smaller space. But I was going to have the crew disasemble, load the individual pieces on the truck, and reassemble in Simi. This would have taken forever and worn out the crew and dragged out the move. Luckily, Dominick had another plan which worked perfectly. Dominick very strategically loaded the two fully-assembled, large shelving units on the truck. This saved a tremendous amount of time, and crew energy. Fatigued movers are not a good thing; so his plan probably was safer and prevented injuries
The crew were all very polite, hardworking and thoughtful. They asked for directions when needed and followed directions well. They took initiative to box things I overlooked, arranged boxes and items at the new house in common sense ways; labels facing out, in the right rooms, positioned for access.
My only regret is that I had not planned ahead for the destination. It was a hot day, crew worked from about 8 am into afternoon. All I had was room temperature water. I wish I had some cold watermelon and cold water to give them when we got to the new house.
But they never complained and were grateful for the water.
Top notch group of guys. Would definitely use them again, without hesitation!
Testimonials
Not understanding what some of these 1 star people are referring to, but my husband and I had the exact opposite experience.
We were supposed to move on Saturday, but last minute, and I mean, last minute, we decided to move in
a lot sooner
Ron, the estimator who was professional and extremely nice to begin with, accomodated us on the day and time.
The movers came on time, were so patient and nice
10 hours move from start to finish. No damage, everything was assembled, 100% satisfaction.
Ramiro, christian and Reynuldo..thank you !!!
for making a difficult day totally bearable
Great job! The guys had to go up 3 flights of stairs at my new apartment and they never complained! They were very cordial, professional and hard working. I’d highly recommend them to anyone seeking qualified professional movers. Also, special thanks to Marlon for his guidance of the crew!
Northstar movers were extremely efficient and very very organized in how they operate. Brandon and his crew was especially amazing and was able to pack and unpack everything so I didn’t even have to do anything at all! They assembled all my furniture with care and attention to detail and made sure that every single piece of trash was taken at the end as well. I would highly recommend Northstar and will most definitely be using them again in my future moves!
Marlin and his team did a phenomenal job moving us from one side of the city to the other! We fell short of being prepared for the move so Marlin and his team managed to bail out by packing our entire large two bedroom apartment in just a few hours! It would have taken us at least 2 days to do what his team managed to do in 2-3 hours. All while being super friendly and professional. In fact from our initial call the experience was a positive one- we were able to get a quote immediately, as well as book the move. They were very flexible with changes that came along the way! Will definitely be booking again.
We wanted to have the comfort of hiring movers + packers, in case we didn’t have time to pack. It is $170 an hour for 3 guys + 1 truck, so a bit pricier than other companies but they did have all the supplies to pack if we needed them to and the hourly rate was the same regardless of packing / moving. It took them 5 hours to do a 2 bedroom 1100 sq foot apartment if that helps you all estimate the cost. We moved on a Sunday, and they outsourced another company to help us because they weren’t available, but that is totally fine with us and they provided excellent service.
We had an incredible experience with Andre and his 2 guys, super personable and friendly, we felt like we were friends with them by the end! They helped us not only move our furniture and boxes but helped us arrange the furniture in what they thought would look best, and they even fixed some of our unstable Ikea furniture with power drills. We didn’t have to lift a finger and they did an excellent job and were very careful with all of our belongings.
Highly recommend!
Incredible service, could not have done a better job in one day!!!! We moved from a 5,000 sqft home to another 5,000 sqft home, 6 in our family …. and it went super fast because they were very efficient and organized!
10 hours of hard work for this fabulous and kind team!!!
We have used this moving company twice. They are reliable, efficient, and have amazing customer service. The quotes are accurate and there are no surprises. Their moving team works very hard and have always been very careful with our possessions. We had a situation with this move that was unanticipated. Our move out of Calabasas was exactly as planned however our move to our new house was delayed and they ended up having to store everything for a month. Ron was extremely accommodating and didn’t charge extra for the storage which was greatly appreciated. Ramiro and his team were fantastic. Our new home is three stories and they never missed a beat covering all three levels. Wendy in the office went above and beyond helping us through some minor hiccups. Highly recommend this moving company.
Robert, Chance, and Khalidm did an amazing job with the move. They were prompt, easy to work with, and got the job done with absolutely no damage. The HOA has strict but necessary rules to follow to protect hallways and common areas, and the team did the entire job to spec.
I will 100% hire them to do another job I have coming up in a couple of months and will be booking soon. Thanks, team!
NorthStar did a great job moving us from SF to Marin. They were on time, very professional and nice about my indecisiveness about where to put things. I haven’t moved very many times and felt overwhelmed and scattered- they were very organized and squeezed every inch out of a box & their truck. We had 3 guys -Felipe, Carlos & Anselmo and they had us out and in in good time at a reasonable cost. They provide blankets and addl supplies like wrap, boxes, tape are addl but reasonable and well worth their expertise with whatever needs wrapping. Our move was on a really hot day which made me even more appreciative of their packing & moving skills.
Phenomenal movers!! Everyone from getting the quote to the moving was just so easy.
To start, I am a last minute, poor planner type of guy and so I reached out to NorthStar through yelp and Stephanie got back to be in light speed! She was incredibly nice and explained everything clearly – including the fees which tend to be the most important to understand.
Then on move in day, Bobby, Cristian and Javier came and immediately introduced themselves kindly and were very polite and pleasant! (Had quite the jokes too haha). They were really quick and careful with all the items and in no time, they were at the destination unpacking.
Highly highly highly recommend them for moving and I’ll be using them again in the future!
Joaquin and crew did an excellent job. Friendly and professional service. Arrived on time. Loaded the truck quickly and Unloaded quickly. Moved everything in safely. No drama, easy peasy.
Brandon and his team were just fantastic!! This is the 3rd time we are using this company & they over deliver every time!! Moving is always stressful, but thanks to Brandon & his team our move was yet another success!! Really appreciate your company, NorthStar – keep up the good work, and know you have some great people working for you!!
After requesting a quote through Yelp, I got a very quick response from Stephanie Haver, who was just amazing in terms of fast and friendly scheduling. She answered all my questions and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She was great! On the day of the move, I was scheduled with Miguel Villanueva and William Christian. Miguel called me to check in prior to arrival, which was perfect in terms of letting us know what to expect and giving us an ETA. Both men arrived ready to work and got everything packed A LOT quicker than I thought. I’m serious, Miguel went to dismantle my table for easy packing after he and William lugged our king sized bed to the truck. The table was in one piece when I went to wash one of the dishes in the sink and when I looked up the table was all packed up and ready to move. They really do not waste time, which is very considerate when it comes to cost of labor per hour, which is already competitive compared to most moving companies. William was very swift, moving things at lightning speed, but so quietly that you forget he is there. He was incredibly gentle with our items. Miguel is probably one of the hardest working men I’ve ever seen and very personable as well. They lugged everything up three flights of stairs and were great about it! If I could request these two men the next time I move, I definitely would. Overall, a fantastic company. I highly recommend their services!
From the beginning with Michael to the end with Anthony the mover we had an excellent experience moving. We moved from Virginia to Florida and the move was flawless. Everyone was extremely professional and our furniture and boxes were taken great care of. I would definitely use this company for any future moves.
Selecting a mover is always difficult and moving is definitely stressful. A friend recommended Northstar emphatically. Based on that and the other reviews, I dove in and selected Northstar. Stephanie in the front office was super friendly and helpful in answering my questions. The moving team did an AWESOME job. Miguel and his team made everything so easy and stress free. They loaded things into a pod storage container like total pros solving a Tetris puzzle and helped with all the odds and ends that I needed to take to another location. I also felt the price was very reasonable. I definitely will hire them when I have the pod unloaded. Thanks team!!
Northstar moving was highly recommended to me by a friend of mine, and now I see why. These guys are machines! Brandon, Santos, Javier & Christian showed up and immediately put my mind at ease. Items that I was concerned about moving, they moved without issue. They took such amazing care of all of my items, large and small and wasted no time doing it.
After dreading the idea of this move for months now, my anxiety was relieved almost immediately after they arrived and assessed the situation. Their positivity and friendly professionalism was a breath of fresh air.
I will recommend Northstar to anyone and everyone…..but for now, time to decorate.
This company did a great job through my move. I’ve never used movers before and it ended up being a great experience. From start to finish, these guys were a huge help. We had Pedro, Joshua, and Alan. All three were very careful with our things and wrapped all of our items before moving. They did it all in one trip and were all really friendly to my wife and I. I highly recommend them!
This was an amazing company to work with. They packed all my things and they exceeded the amount of work that was supposed to be done. Very professional company . Great company to hire without breaking the bank. If you want to move fast and easy with great work I would highly recommend Northstar.
I had a fantastic move with NorthStar Moving Company. Everything was moved quickly and efficiently and the movers were incredibly helpful and accommodating even with elevator delays from my buildings.
I would highly recommend this service to anyone who needs a move in San Francisco because it made everything less stressful. Shoutout to Marlon and Art for being so patient and helpful throughout the day!
I initially chose this moving company last year to help move my father from one Assisted living facility to another and I was extremely impressed with their competence, timeliness, and friendly demeanor. So, I called them again for my major move out of the house I’d been living in for 10 years and into a new home. Once again, they were spot on! They completely reduced my anxiety and stress, they didn’t make me feel like my objects were a hassle to move and they continually checked in with me to see how I was feeling! I would DEFINITELY recommend this company to anyone moving, whether it’s a large job or a small one, they make sure it gets done right!!!
These guys deserve every star! This is the first time I had an superb moving experience despite the normal hiccups that happen during any move. They showed up when they said they would. They did why they said they would do. They worked with great attention to detail, communicated well and at no point tried to charge me any inexplicable fees. They called me when an item broke during the move (expected, happens). Everything they did was as unto the Lord. They serve with joy and integrity. A special thanks goes to Wendy, who rounded off the experience with paying me more than I deserved for a broken item.
I’ll recommend these guys to anyone looking for movers!
I had to pack up everything in a 3 bedroom house plus living and dining room in San Mateo and was really happy to have found NorthStar… all the communication prior to the move day was extremely clear and responsive (shout out to Stephanie), and on the day of the big move, Miguel and his crew were fantastic. The worked hard and efficiently from the moment they arrived and were conscientious about everything. They helped me pack things into storage too, thank you to the team again for fitting everything into one locker! I highly recommend them and plan to reach out for my summer cross country move.
Robert Delahoussaye and his crew were just a pleasure to have as my moving team into downtown Los Angeles. This is the second time I have used North Star and will obviously use again! They were polite, efficient and got the job done faster than I had expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
