Loadstar is very professional and was on time for the moving. We feel this is very well priced for all the movers did for us. We recommend Loadstar for all your moving needs. read more

Our family has had the pleasure of using Loadstar Movers multiple times for various moves locally and from out of the area. I can't say enough about the quality of service we received. Using this smaller company has been important to us because of the personal care that was given to us and our belongings. Joe, the owner made sure that we were given the best most competitive prices and we are so grateful for that. We highly recommend using Loadstar Movers for your next move! read more

We had to move without too much notice and LoadStar Movers was there for us. So glad we choose them. They went above and beyond for us making each step of moving easy and efficient. If you have to move call them. You will get a responsible and honest company that does their job so very well. read more

As an executive director of a local non-profit, when our offices flooded during our last rainstorm, and had to move out immediately, The quick, efficient and top-quality service given by Joe and his crew was not only very affordable but also had a very congenial and understanding attitude. We appreciate you coming to our rescue! read more

We have used Loadstar several times, for everything from a small local move to coordinating a large cross country truckload. Everthing has always gone seamlessly and the guys are friendly, polite and great at assembling stuff. Highly recommended! read more

From the start Joseph replied quicker than any other company in SB. He customized to meet our personal moving needs. The crew showed up WITH supplies that I was not expecting. Tyler & Lavardo were awesome, hard working, making most of every minute, productive and knowledgeable. YET when I wanted it my way they were so kind and submissive even when went back to their way. hahah great experience !!! read more

I recently had Loadstar movers over to help move furniture around my home and they were prompt, communicative, polite and efficient. Would definitely use them again!! read more

Lev and Tyler helped me move and they were incredible. Friendly, fast, thorough, and affordable. If you're moving within SB, 10/10 recommend! read more

Joe and his crew were amazing. They moved us to Newport Beach from Santa Barbara and the customer service was top shelf. I could not recommend a company more than Loadstar. Smiling faces and workers that don't stink are just a few reasons I love these guys. Thanks for the great move, Joe! read more

Joe and his crew were amazing! It was super easy to schedule my local move, and when the day came, the crew was there and ready to work on time! They had two trucks with them, and were very organized about the way they handled things, including our piano. They were professional, friendly, and worked very quickly, and the price was very reasonable! read more

Had to move with little time to prepare. Staff was helpful, pleasant and friendly. Tyler and Jay moved quickly and efficiently. Overall took a lot of pressure off of my somewhat hectic move. Thank you! read more

I had a very positive experience with this moving company. Joe, the owner, was friendly and thorough in describing the services to be provided and made the whole process so easy and convenient. I called some other local moving companies and the process to get a quote was more complicated and more expensive. Lev and Freddie showed up on time and worked so hard with such great attitudes. They took really good care of all my possessions, didn't damage anything, nor scratch any walls or doors. I was really impressed. I highly recommend working with Joe and his team! read more

I've used Loadstar Movers twice now, one to move in town and another to move up to the Bay Area. Not only are the movers quick to do the job, but they were very careful and making sure everything was stored safely and stowed properly. Joe (owner) was very quick to respond to my emails and made sure that the movers know where to go, how to contact me etc. and coordinate with me on the move. I had a lot of things and was scared that the move was going to be a larger job than I anticipated but Tyler reassured me that everything is going to work out well. 10/10 would recommend, and thank you so much Loadstar for making my move a peace of mind. Had no doubt that the move would go well when calling Loadstar. read more

The two gentlemen that moved my furniture from storage, were polite and mindful of furniture, making sure to secure those items that weren't protected against nicks and dings. They pointed out any significant damages prior to moving or wrapping it. Great value for the quality of service. Thank you and I recommend them thank you Tyler and I forgot the other persons name. read more

Lev and Tyler were amazing. Punctual, helpful, efficient, and most of all careful. The by-the-hour bid was way below other estimates, and they were done in less time than estimated. LoadStar Movers provides quality service at a great value. I highly recommend them for any local move in Santa Barbara. read more

Loadstar exceeded expectations. Great communication. I needed a couch hoisted to my balcony. They were quick, precise and conscientious. They had it in my condo in 30 minutes! Would highly recommend. Very reasonable. read more

ABSOLUTELY FIVE STARS. We used loadstar to move from Goleta to Thousand oaks area. We asked for a quote and got a response right away and Joe even set up a time to come take a look at the two bedroom one bath apartment. He is professional, friendly, and effective. He brought along a woman to also help assess our apartment as well as offered her packing skills to add to the package. We did not end up utilizing the packing, but she gave some great tips (keep clothes on hangers and wrap in blanket!) I would say we did a good job packing everything into boxes and preparing to make the movers have an easier job. The day arrived and the movers were on time and ready to go. We had a townhouse style so there were stairs, and the two movers were FLYING up the stairs two at a time and bringing down several boxes at a time. They were so quick, careful, and friendly. We bought breakfast and lunches for them and let them know to take a break, but they wanted to finish the job first and eat on the drive to save us time and money (so nice of them). They finished loading the truck in 1.5 hours and we were off to drive. We drove for an hour and a little more, and arrived at the new place and they were even quickier unloading. The movers were very considerate and asked us where we'd like everything to be unloaded. Our final payment ended up being lower than the original quote and we were ready to pay over that. Joe is honest and does not have hidden fees. Overall, we had a great experience with LoadStar movers and if we ever move again (hope not soon) we will be utilizing their services. Thank you!! - Jess read more

A few weeks ago I bought a piano. I've never owned a piano before and obviously had no idea nor thought about how to go about moving a piano.. After I paid for it, the previous owner asked me how fast I could get it out of his house. I then realized I was screwed. I tried to budge it on my own but no way. I told the previous owner I would get back to him after he again stressed he needed it gone. I called Loadstar movers. Very glad I did. I got Joe the owner on the line around 5 pm. Needless to say there was a a truck there the next morning. I met the guys at my house as they unloaded it and moved it safely into my house. The crew was unbelievable. The whole transaction was. I'm very happy I called Loadstar and will again. Also the cost was much less than I thought it was going to be. Well worth it and highly recommended! read more

Im so thankful for LoadStar Movers and their team. I've been LOYAL fans of them and their business for so long. I'm talking multiple states, small jobs, BIG JOBS, you name it. read more

Rare is the moving service where all of the employees treat the customer with respect, look them in the eye, and bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable in your moments of indecision. Job well done LoadStar! Love your "can do" attitude. read more

We were so happy with our LoadStar experience with a local move. Joe was easy to work with in planning and estimating and his crew of 4 guys/2 trucks were efficient, courteous and got the job done in less time than we expected. Having had several bad experiences with movers, I was so pleased with the service and the value of LoadStar. We will definitely use them again. read more

Excellent work and incredibly reasonable! I've recommended them many times and everyone I know has been very happy!

Joe is a good, consistent communicator. His team of workers is well trained, polite & efficient. They took great care with all of my items ensuring that everything was secured inside of the truck to reduce the possibility of anything moving during transport. I highly recommend Loadstar Moving. read more

We found ourselves in a position were we had to vacate from our living arrangement and move rather suddenly. Thank goodness that a friend told us about LoadStar Movers. We called and talked with Joseph Vaccaro Owner and Operator of LoadStar. Joe has lived here since age four and graduated San Marcos High and Santa Barbara CC with two degrees. Joe knows Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas. Joe knows people and business. He helped arrange a time for our move that worked into our schedule. His company will do as little or as much as you want them to do. The truck and movers showed up right on time. Two very polite young men wrapped and moved everything we instructed to be moved. Everything was moved out and back in exactly were we wanted the items. They were extremely careful not to scratch, scrape or dent anything. What a relief to have discovered this great moving company. I will keep their number handy. read more

I had Loadstar move my workshop from Goleta to Lompoc. Joe, the owner, came out in person to look things over and give me an estimate. The movers showed up on time and worked hard! They were nice, competent and careful with everything. The move was way less stressful than I anticipated. Everything made it to the new location in the same condition as it left the old. Loadstar gave me the best price by far of the 3 moving companies I got bids from. I highly recommend Loadstar Moving. read more

I have used LoadStar twice for commercial/business moves (I am talking heavy desks, file cabinets and boxes and boxes of materials) and at least once for a large household move. The moves went so well, I can't even remember how many times I have called on them. Every time, I could not have wishes for a better experience. Moving is stressful and expensive. LoadStar was professional beyond belief. On time, extremely well-prepared, accommodate personal quirks and delivered everything in perfect condition. Joseph and his guys are simply the best. I have also used them for small, one-off jobs such as moving large items. Again - perfect. Recently, I needed to move a household across the county. I knew that the job was beyond the scope of their business model, but I called anyway - just hoping!! I still received great advice. Look no further. read more

I could not have been happier with Loadstar movers. I've never hired movers before and wasn't sure what to expect, but from my first interaction scheduling with Joe to the final setup at our new home with Tyler, everything was absolutely ideal. Joe was incredibly accomodating with scheduling, first introductory phone call was a breeze, and everything was confirmed via email. Perfect, fast & efficient. Then came the actual move and, to be totally honest, I was in over my head and had no idea it was going to require as much as it did. My boyfriend and I were moving from a family home in Santa Barbara where 4 generations of his family have lived into a new, smaller place up in Solvang. We were only taking what we really needed and were leaving the rest at the house so family can still come stay there, visit, pick up anything they want, etc. What I thought would be an easy "Oh, we just need a few things" turned into a bigger project on that day and Tyler and his crew were friendly, accomodating, and helped figure out the best methods to get everything we needed. Not a single thing was damaged, they were friendly and kind, and even helped me figure out where to put furniture that didn't fit the way I thought it would! They are a great team and now that I've worked with them, I would never want to hire anyone else. Thank you so much, Team!! You're the absolute best! read more

They were able to move an entire bedroom to another upstairs apartment 20 minute drive away in 53 minutes!!! Extremely efficient, very kind, and accomodating movers. Not to mention that the PRICE is the lowest out of its competitors. Joe (manager) is also super chill! Thank you Lev and Fredy for amazing service. Will always use LoadStar now for my SB moving needs. read more

Joe & the crew at Loadstar were amazing from beginning to end. They were so helpful and courteous and nothing was a problem to them. They took great care of all my belongings and did a superb job of moving me. I haver recommended them to several friends who all were so thankful for hte referral as they did such a good job for them. I 100% recommend them and will use them whenever I need moving assistance again. read more

I would give these guys 100 stars if I could. Joe is super responsive, helpful, and really trusts his team. I've used LoadStar twice now and both times, the team was punctual, nice, helpful, and got the job done quickly! I have never dealt with a moving company that was so completely trustworthy. They are also very well priced. I've recommended them to tons of people, glad to recommend them here. read more

I have used Loadstar's moving services twice and both were great experiences. The team is very professional, well-equipped, competitive rates, and easy to work with. The first move was the best experience moving I have ever had. Team of 3 took great care of my stuff and moved with urgency even though I was paying by the hour. The second move was a terrible day for me personally as I had everything go wrong that day EXCEPT for Loadstar. I am so thankful that they were able to keep it together even when I was a mess, was unable to finish packing due to an emergency, and got locked out of my new house. They rolled with the punches and were even really considerate about what I was going through despite the extra work it caused them. Thank you for being awesome movers and even more awesome people! As long as I remain in the area, I wouldn't use or recommend anyone else. read more

Joe and company are outstanding. I have used Loadstar several times overs the years, and have recommended them to friends many mores. They are good at what they do, priced fairly, but most importantly I trust Joe. When it comes to taking care of all your belongings you don't want to leave it to chance. Loadstar is the only company I recommend when people ask or mention that they need to move. read more

Best moving company ever! It was so hard finding help with moving that doesn't charge a minimum. Joe makes the whole experience so quick, easy and pleasant to deal with. Wouldn't want to go through this with anyone else :) read more

Reliable, reasonable, pleasant, efficient. Let you know what to expect, when they'll arrive and - with our small move at least - no minimal hour charge. Would definitely use them again. read more

Needed help loading and unloading a truck for a local move (~6 miles) and Tyler and Eddie were amazing. They are creative problem solvers. Courteous and just all around awesome. read more

From the first time I spoke with Joseph, I knew that I had found my movers. Joseph was very personable on the phone & my movers were also very friendly as well. loved that both movers showed up with a mask, as safety is the super important right now & they wore them the entire time (as did I). LoadStar Movers was priced reasonably & they guys did an excellent job of helping me pack my pod efficiently & making sure all of my furniture was wrapped & protected. read more

If I could give Joe and his crew 100 stars I would. We've moved eight times in the 20 years we've lived here in Santa Barbara. We wouldn't think of using anyone other than Joe and his boys. LoadStar Movers are all about dependability, trustworthiness, courtesy and hard work. Joe makes moving less stressful. He will give you a fair price quote, he is responsive and friendly too. Joe feels like he's part of our family. I'm sorry it took me this long to write this review. LoadStar Movers are Da Bomb!!! Don't hesitate, you won't be sorry. Promise. read more

I'm not the type of person who enjoys writing reviews, but after our recent move, I had to give credit where credit was due. Moving stinks. There is nothing pleasant about it. But as soon as I met Joe, owner of LoadStar Movers, I knew that we were in good hands. He and his staff took something that was starting to get super stressful for us and turned it in to something positive. At the end of an incredibly smooth day, we got to spend our first night in our new house completely satisfied with our moving day experience, thanks to Joe and his team. read more

Bravo too Joe and Team at Loadstar!! How refreshing it is to know that we have in our community a reasonable alternative to others that will want to charge you an arm and leg, oh let's throw in a foot or two if they can get away with it. Joe was so professional in every aspect, quote, scheduling, and the crew. Sorry bad with names But so pleasant and caring, even providing suggestions for furniture placement etc. Do yourself a favor and call Joe, you'll be glad you did!! I will definitely use their service again!! Thanks Joe!! read more

We thought that a small (nine-pieces of furniture) move across town would give us the chance to test a moving company in anticipation of a larger move that we will be needing in a month, so we did just that a few days ago. There is NO QUESTION about who we will be choosing -- these guys were GREAT! Friendly, careful, professional in every way . . . we'll get them back for the large move coming up, for sure! read more
