Max and Sergio were the best. Great job loading and everything was accounted for and not broken when we go to location. Thanks.

I had 5 Star help me move my three bedroom two bath home in Mountain View last week. It was a little bit chaotic for me so having them there was really helpful. They worked really hard and were able to stack my furniture so it fit in the space that we were designated in the truck. Totally worth the money spent

My loading situation was a challenge, everyone told me it wouldn’t fit! But these guys fully loaded my UBoxes floor to ceiling and made it work. They came with plastic to protect my furniture using the pads I had. They were super kind and worked well together. I am a satisfied customer.

Kevin & Daniel were amazing and did a fantastic job packing and loading up my move! They were on time, super friendly and packed the truck at an expert level. We had to drive about 14 hours after and my items arrived undamaged and nothing shifted, I was so thankful. I highly recommend 5 STAR MOVING's services for your next move, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent job! The two movers who helped pack up my life into my Uhaul showed up on time and went above and beyond to ensure my belongings were packed accordingly. I highly recommend 5 Star Moving!

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!).
