Incredibly hard working and punctual. They were the best moving crew that I’ve ever worked with. Their attention to detail and communication was amazing and the best I’ve experienced!

Highly recommend. We will be using them again when we move out. Courteous, asked questions, and ensured we were happy before leaving.

Kenneth and Rich did an outstanding job! They were careful, efficient, polite, helpful- we could not ask for better service. Many thanks!

We love S.T.A.R. so much we asked for them to come back and bring the same movers to help us out after they moved us in 3-years ago. I couldn't believe that even after hauling our entire house into the 26' (very full) truck (and after two previous jobs that day), I still saw them joking around and lifting our WEIGHT PLATES (500 lbs) over their head in jest.

One thing I love about these guys at S.T.A.R. is they don't stop moving, and they are also fantastic conversationalists. We really felt like they were friends helping us move, happy to be there, and very encouraging and supportive. Also they are exceptionally communicative, checking in a day in advance to confirm, and with updates to keep us in the loop on when they'd arrive.

10/10 would ask for them again.

Kenneth and his helper were amazing. They were quick, respectful, careful and considerate of my sister’s furniture and the boxes were handled with care. Kenneth kept an eye on his time here and informed me about the first 2 hrs and how much time after that he was here.
They did their best to get all the boxes on the POD, there was just too many of them. They offered to get the rest of the boxes into my garage from the house. I will hire them again.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

You now have a friend in the moving business. Whether you need expert advice on the best way to handle a single item, or cross country logistics, I am obliged to advise. Lines of communication are always open with us. There's enough to worry about with moving, let us burden the weight of it. When you book with us, you can now relax; we will take care of the rest. You can expect consistent updates up until the day of your move, as well as any good moving jokes if you just need a laugh along the way.

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

A courtesy call can always be expected when we are on our way to you with an exact ETA. Updates are always available if you have a time frame of our arrival if you need, without being bothersome. When we show up we take a moment to stretch, orientate ourselves with your project goals, game-plan while we gather gear, and then hit the ground running. A steady and consistent pace will begin to quickly melt away any previous stresses. By the end, you may even say "That was fun!".

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Anything you are able to disassemble, unplug, or prepare before our arrival is putting money back into your pocket. We always come ready to handle anything, but your level of preparedness is one of the largest factors determining how much we can get done as quickly as possible. Family heirlooms or irreplaceable items should have special arrangements made for them or be brought immediately to our attention to make proper accommodations. We also let to set up your new house, so being available helps.

What types of moves have you handled?

We can handle anything from bring your groceries in from the curb, or relocating your 10,000 sq ft office on the top floor downtown. Every project has its specific challenges, objectives, items, personality and goals. We have been conforming to the uniqueness of each project for over 10 years. We have accomplished dozens of projects a week consistent for years, and its still exciting to see something new each day. There is no project too big or small, we are honored to be a part of it all.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

We have fallen in love with making one of the hardest stages in life a better experience. Each project and client is unique and that is a favorite part amongst our team members. They say to stay young it is important to stay active and do puzzles, this is an incredible combination of both. Each building is different, all furniture tells a story, and there is always more to learn and improve upon. These are the things we embrace about the industry we proudly represent. Standing by to serve!

What training do you provide your crew members?

Each member of my team has been hand picked and personally trained by my self. We have high expectations and seek out the most integral, trustworthy team members that carry a passion to serve. Accountability is a staple and honesty is essential. We realize we are being trusted with your life's possessions. This passion is shown from first contact with our team all the way until we proudly welcome you home! You'll love the pride our team has to serve you. Thank you for the opportunity.
