My fiancé and I hired movers because we knew we couldn't carry some of our larger furniture pieces ourselves. We were really only expecting help with a few things and willing to finish on our own. In just two hours, with my fiancé sorting boxes needed to go up and those that needed to go into storage, the two men that STAR sent had moved everything into our apartment. They even took an extra few minutes to clean up cat supplies they had dropped. I would definitely hire them again next time we move.

Kenneth and Kevin were amazing!!! Communicated ahead of time, arrived on time and even went to get more supplies for packing. They were nice, respectful, SO hard working, and packed my belongings with care and efficiency! You definitely want their help :)
And my Dad thought they were awesome, super organized and professional ????

STAR moving labor helped us with two moves recently, one big and one small. They did an outstanding job with both. Communication is excellent, professionalism is top notch. This friendly crew is among the best in the business, and I’d trust them with any job.

This crew is fast, efficient, friendly, skilled, and helpful. I’ve hired help for a couple dozen moves and STAR moving is among the very best in the business.

It was late. They had been working for 10 hours and still had enough energy to complete my move. They did an outstanding job packing the truck. I was blown away by their professionalism and knowledge. Highly recommend them!!!!!

Kenneth and Bryan were prompt, hard-working, and incredibly careful with all of our furniture! I’ve moved several times over the last few years and never been this impressed with a loading/unloading team. They were creative with doors and angles and I swear I didn’t hear them so much as bump a wall. They also helped me assemble some furniture and put a lot of thought into the placement of everything; Kenneth has excellent instincts for making a space look great and function well! They were both funny and good-natured, a pleasure to chat with while we worked. I would recommend them to anyone and will 100% book them when we move again next year!

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.

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!
