Kenneth and Josh were the heroes of my day, I'm not gonna lie. My partner and I did a move from Washington State to Oregon and packed up our lives and were dead exhausted. Kenneth had stayed in contact with me from the first inquiry to the day of the arrival. We had some flexibility but both had the same goal of keeping the other in mind of their schedule. Kenneth and Josh showed up early, put in the absolute work, were in high spirits and checked consistantly to make sure what they unloaded was in the most convenient spot for us. If I ever have the dread of moving again, I'd absolutely go to them and know I'm covered.
Thank you again guys, so much!

Kenneth was great to work with for my daughter's moving pod unload! Great, consistent communication. Arrived early and had the job completed quickly and carefully. With the extra time, they assembled furniture for us. I highly recommend S.T.A.R.!

Great communication from start to finish! On-time and prepared with not only the equipment that I requested they bring, but also some other tools that came in handy. Unloaded our jam-packed 16-ft storage container with time left for them to help assemble furniture, too. Seemed to me they were as careful with our stuff as they'd have been with their own. Would absolutely work with S.T.A.R. Moving again. Thanks fellas.

Kenneth and his team did a fantastic job. He maintained constant communication from beginning to end and was friendly, hardworking, fast, efficient, and well organized…as was his crew. They worked well together as a team and coordinated the loading so that everything went in with room to spare. Everything was packed and secured so well that the load didn’t move an inch all the way from Oregon to Tennessee, but it was packed with such care that there was no damage to any of the items loaded…quite a feet after such a long trip over rough roads. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and I would hire them again in a heartbeat, without question. I highly recommend the S.T.A.R. team.

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.
