They were early, they were courteous, they were careful and what I appreciated most were they told me to stay in the apartment while they got everything. I would definitely use them again, sorry I cannot remember where I put their names but please investigate who the movers were because they deserve recognition. Thank you again for your service and hiring these guys, it made a stressful move actually pleasant! David Trower

The two men who came to help me worked miracles. I was positive that what they did could not be accomplished, but they did it. Kudos to Morgan and the young man with him. Sorry, I missed his name. Thanks for all their hard work!!

They were knowledgeable and helpful in every way. My job had some special challenges and they went out of their way to accommodate my needs with unflagging positive attitudes. The movers themselves were experienced and very capable. Owner Lucas was also available with good advice and the flexibility to address a changing situation. I couldn't have asked for better help.

They came out to our house perfectly on time and loaded VERY heavy furniture up stairs and around corners without bumping one corner of new house, extremely professional and qualified. Very carefull with fragile items. Really recommend these guys and worth paying a little more to get the job done right and fast! (2 hours was only 1.15!! Thanks !

5 Star Moving took care of my belongings very well. Because I lived on a hill in an apartment complex they had to load a U haul truck, drive the truck to the POD which was in another section of the apartment complex. They than had to unload the U haul truck and load the POD. They made sure that my belongings were handled well. They were very nice and accommodating, and did everything that I requested regarding my move.

Professional, hard working , respectful and friendly. They did an amazing job packing our 20' truck - not an inch of space nor a minute wasted! Load was well packed and secured. Many thanks!

Flexible, professional, and friendly! Communication by text was easy, and they were very accommodating because of the late delivery of my POD. Pricing was reasonable, too. Absolutely will use 5 STAR in future and recommend them without reservation. Thanks again for excellent service!

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!).
