Lucas and Kevn took the stress out of moving. They packed us; then returned a few days later to load our pod. Lucas did a great job of coaching us through the process - he even wrote out a todo list - so that we were prepared when they returned to load. They were easy and flexible to work with, as well as punctual and efficient. We have moved a few times over the years, but this has been the easiest by far. Would definitely recommend 5 Star.

Lucas and his guys are rock stars of moving!! They work fast, efficiently, and take the utmost care. We highly recommend them. They loaded our 40' container in record time...and we have some very heavy stuff (motorcycle, engine, solid granite pot, and etc.).
Our only recommendation is that they change their name to 10 stars, because that what they are in our book!
Thank you guys again for all the hard work.

The movers were prompt, courteous, and very helpful. They went above and beyond to help us with our somewhat complicated move. We are very happy with all aspects of their service and would definitely use them again!

The movers were GREAT! They were quick and efficient. Also, the company was extremely helpful and flexible when I needed to make adjustments to arrival time. They were also able to come earlier as my PODs was delivered early. I would definitely use them again for moving services.

They were able to get everything unpacked and had time leftover to assemble and move furniture around for me. The movers were extremely courteous and respectful! Overall AMAZING service and company!

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking, you will receive an email that provides the phone number for 5-Star Moving. We do our very best to call clients within 48 hours. However, during the busy season sometimes it’s best to contact us if you want to go over your move details!

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

The movers will always call the day of your move if we are running at all behind, if you don’t hear from us this is usually a good sign, it means we are on track so try not to stress!

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Having items well boxes is the #1 time saver and a sure way to keep your bill as low as possible. If you have 1 container, expect the move to take 2 to 3 hours. If you have 2 containers expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. Remember - lamps, lamp shades, and small items should be boxed if you want them to arrive safely to your destination. Small items in general can increase the move time by double so having all these items in boxes really does help. Buy plastic wrap, straps and blankets for us.

What types of moves have you handled?

We on an average load of 60+ containers/month. Meaning our movers are extremely versed in the art of PODS loading. We also do truck work and have been in the moving industry for over 10 years. Some of our veteran loaders have been in the industry for 20+ years. Whoever shows up, rest assured you’re in good hands.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part of being a mover is the satisfaction of a job done right. We see every day poorly loaded rental trucks and POD containers, we also see the frustration from those clients who have poor experiences. We love when the client is watching with his/her eyes wide open while we wrap their valued belongings.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our team members are carefully trained. They all know and understand the price of furniture and the value. Because of this, they take extra caution when loading your items. They also expect to have the right materials to do their job properly, this is why it’s important for you, the client, to always have the 3 essentials - plastic wrap, blankets and ratchet straps (NOT ROPE!).
