Great experience. There was a slight delay in arrival time, but otherwise everything went smoothly. The movers came prepared with dollies and transported my furniture into the new apartment without issue. Next time I'm prepared to move I plan to use them.

Perfect in every way. We had a difficult configuration to get things into our place but Lucas and Ezekiel were courteous, friendly, professional, and worked their asses off to get it done. Would recommend them to anyone and would definitely hire them again.

Kevin and Ezequiel arrived a little bit late because of an earlier job, but they were very cautious with our furniture, extremely helpful and gave us lots of advice before they left (we were still packing some extra miscellaneous items that would go into the container). I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Service and care beyond my dreams. I am recently widowed so this was a very difficult and emotional move for me. Lucas and his crew are smart, strong extremely and gave helpful suggestions. They moved a Hot Tub into a PODS! A difficult job but they were fabulous!!!! On time, worked hard, came prepared and finished on time. I would use them again and will recommend them to my friends.

They were both wonderful! Got the job done and there was no damage! Will use them again!

Lucas and Kevin were great! They got caught in traffic but got right to work when they arrived. They were polite and careful with our belongings and made packing a POD look easy. Trust me, it's not! So glad I found them to help!

Lucas is very accommodating. He and his assistant were good about wrapping up my wood and leather furniture so it doesn't get scratched. I'm glad I used them to pack my pod because they were able to get so much more in it by knowing how to fill it to the top. This is the second move where I've used 5 Star Moving and Lucas and I'd use them again. Mel

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!).
