Emergency Services Offered
Services we offer
Local & Long Distance Moving, Labor-Only Service, Storage, Packing, Piano Moving, Driving & Disposal Services, & Last-Minute Moving.
Not only were they very competitively priced, but the customer service I received was top-notch. Lucas advised me on what moving supplies were needed, and he suggested where I could purchase these items online or at my local hardware store in order to save more money on relocation expenses. On the day of my move, not only did Kevin and Morgan arrive several minutes early, but they did a phenomenal job wrapping and packing all of my belongings safely and strategically into the POD. They were both very professional, amiable, and considerate. I wish 5-Star Moving offered their services in Southern California as I would definitely hire them again to unload my POD in Los Angeles.
Description of Work: 5-Star Moving loaded my POD for a long distance move.

Lucas and his crew were excellent. Lucas was accessible and hepful, and the crews were totally professional. We hit some snags - the PODS was too small, and then could not be parked close to the apartment - this had nothing to do with Five Star, but they were very helpful in coming up with solutions and managing some problems none of us anticipated. There were courteous, helpful, and definitely knew what they were doing in packing the PODS, and moving the furniture with care and attention. They were a great pleasure to work with and maintained positive supportive attitude despite the challenges and the 107 heat!
Description of Work: Moved my household goods into a PODS container, and then met again to move furniture and items from the PODS into my new apartment.

We were very tempted to do this move ourselves, but Five Star Moving changed our minds immediately. When I first spoke with the owner, Lucas, on the phone I knew we were in good hands. I let him know that we are a very busy couple and would need some major help with packing. I figured that was something we would have to do ourselves considering our previous moving company didn't give the option of assisting with packing, Five Star didn't have an issue with it. We were able to work out a schedule and luckily they had an opening the following weekend. When Five Star showed up they got straight to work and were very easy to get along with. There was a group of four young men who helped, but we can only remember the name of the two main guys, Nick and Ahmed. Nick led the crew and was very patient with us, even at times when we were a bit high energy. Everything we own was packed up safely and placed into the moving truck. Getting things into our new house (which we thought was going to be the hard part!!) went very smoothly. The crew was easy to work with, followed direction well and got things done quickly. Next time we move, we'll call this crew first!
Description of Work: Moved my fiancé and me from our old place in Marin to our new house in Alameda.

Great! We have a lot of fragile art pieces and the guys who came to help did a great job organizing them so that they wouldn't be damaged in the moving truck. For the bulky items, they were able to maneuver quite well without any trouble at all. I would definitely use their services again.

inhad to move out by midnight and planned to do everything myself but pulled a muscle in my back and a friend used these guys only a few weeks early. They were faster than I could have done it and reasonably inexpensive. Not sure they even took a break... great experience overall!
Description of Work: Had an emergency move on a Friday and these guys found a way to pull it off. Guys showed up, very professional, timely and truly nice guys! I remember one of the guys by name because I kept calling him Captain Morgan. (Morgan was his first name). So happy these guys are out there to help. There's no way I could have done it without them! Getting ready to call them again when I move next month! Derek.

Description of Work: I hired 5-STAR MOVING to move from one home in the East Bay to another. The gentlemen carefully loaded all my belongs into the pod, making sure to take extra precaution with my valuables. Upon arrival at the new home, everything was in excellent condition.

It went as good as moving can go . It was a high stress environment for me and my family but the guys keep us calm and focused. When the job was done I wouldn't have waned anyone else for the moves and will use them again . Best of luck
Description of Work: I don't usually leave reviews but 5 Stars service warranted recognition. I work in the city and my wife teaches full time, so we didn't have time to do the packing let alone move our own stuff this year. We found a lot of good reviews for these guys on Yelp and their prices were lower than some of the bigger companies we checked out. When Nick and Kevin arrived they were clean cut and wearing uniforms which made my wife calm down (she was nervous to have random guys we don't know packing our home). Lucas the owner even offered to provide background check slips for the guys he sent out, we didn't feel that was needed but it was nice to know. At the end of the day they packed our entire 3 bedroom condominium in 8 hours. The next day they loaded it up and put us into local storage on Briant street . When they unloaded us we couldn't find a spec of damage, and all of our things were there . Stand up service and I've recommended them twice to friends. Thanks guys

These guys showed up on time and got started immediately. It took them a bit longer than originally estimated on the phone, but they did a great job and worked their tails off to get the job done as quickly as possible. I'm extremely pleased with their quality of work and work ethic to get things moved really quickly.

Were able to accommodate a last minute request to come earlier. Brought furniture dolly, hand tools, & hand truck at no extra charge. Did a great job with heavy items (such as treadmill, large cabinets, etc.) in getting it out narrow doorway, tight stairs, and then strapping into container all while protecting both house and furniture. Super friendly too! Iwill use them again when I move into new house.

Description of Work: They efficiently and carefully moved my uhaul truck full of furniture etc. What I really liked, is they told me to sit and relax while they do the moving!

Berkeley and the surrounding areaLucas met me at my storage space in El Cerrito & helped me move into a smaller space. Lucas is super thoughtful, helpful and strong. He is delightful to work with and makes it an enjoyable experience! He was very careful with my artworks. I will definitely call Five Star Moving when I need to move again!

It was a positive experience for me. I had never used a moving company, but just didn't have the time or patience to do the move myself. However, I took a leap of faith!!!! Lucas and his crew relieved all my anxieties. They wrapped my furniture and breakables which showed me they really cared. They were organized and worked efficiently from the start of the job, so I felt like it was money well spent. The professionalism of the crew put me at ease as I was unsure about hiring a moving company that had the lowest rates. Overall, they got the job done right.
