Michael Prevost and his crew did an incredible job carefully packing, loading up, and delivering our (bursting at the seams) 1 bedroom apartment in Oakland to our new home a few miles down the road. We have several delicate pieces of furniture and they were all wrapped up and unloaded in our place without a scratch. Whenever I've hired movers in the past I've marveled at how hard they hustle to get the job done as quickly as possible, and Michael and his guys were the best I've ever worked with. Thanks for making our big move possible guys!
Description of Work: Helped finish packing clothes and heavy electronics, loaded up the truck, transport and delivery to new home.

Nemer, Rudolf, Carlos, and Miseal were punctual, professional, and very considerate of our property! Exactly what you look for in movers. I had an impossible sized piece of furniture that they patiently worked to get in the house. Wow, what a great company to work with! Thanks guys!!!?

They were very prompt. They came in and started packing up pretty fast. There was a total of 3 guys, and when we got to the new place they started unloading and unpacking. They knocked the couch into the dimmer switch for my entry light and damaged the switch. I feel like this could have been avoided.
Description of Work: They packed the furniture and moved it about 7 miles, unloaded and unpacked.

I've had many moves and this was the very best. The team of Adrian, Hithan, and Julio were outstanding. It was pouring rain the day of the move with lots of wind and there were stairs at both places. The movers wrapped everything very carefully and moved everything with plenty of caution. The whole move was also much faster than I'd anticipated with the weather. I was happy with everything. Also the company Northstar was a pleasure to deal with-- friendly and very clear about all the move details. I will use this company again and have already recommended them to a friend.

I thought they did a good job. I was really impressed by how quickly they worked. They got to our place at 7:30 and we were completely in our new place by 12:30, and that included a full pack of our entire two bedroom apartment. They were really efficient. I tried to give them water and they wouldn't even stop to take it. It was really fast. We haven't packed at all. I am planning to use them again for an upcoming move.

The crew that loaded my items in California was very good. They worked hard and were careful with my items. The NY crew that unloaded my items was not as good. But, the main office in California followed up afterward to make sure I was happy. They care about customer service and resolved the issues. I am happy they took the initiative to reach out to me. Also, Northstar had the best price. I would use them again.

Javier and Chris and Kevin and Adan were the best. They made sure to be very careful handling all our furniture and boxes. They even brought a heavy sofa in through the window to avoid damaging the trim. They made sure everything was unpacked and set up for me before leaving. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Almost all items packed and moved without damage. Unfortunately, the movers damaged a table leaf. Update 2/22/15: Northstar has contacted us and offered a fair amount for the damage to the table leaf. By doing so they have shown a great appreciation for our business and a great commitment to customer service.

From the first point of contact to the very last minute, we were impressed with the professionalism of everyone at Northstar. The front office confirmed our move two days prior and were very helpful. The moving truck arrived when they said they would. The movers were very professional, efficient, and worked fast - which was great since they charged us an hourly rate. Adrian, Rodrigo, and Noe were wonderful! We would recommend Northstar to anyone looking for an effortless and easy move.
Description of Work: We moved back to the bay area and stayed with family until we found a place, so all of our belongings were in storage. Northstar moved us from storage to our new place 20 miles away. The new place is on the 3rd floor, so they carried everything up stairs.

I have had great experience and highly recommend this company. From the person who answers the phone to the person who came to give the estimate and the moving crew; all very professional and helpful people. Joshua Gutierre showed up with his team in the morning exactly when they were supposed to arrive. I received a phone call when they left their office and another call when they were 10 min away. The crew did a fantastic job. The best part was their friendly and Can-Do attitude. They finished the job on time and in fact below the estimate.
