Services
Home movers who encountered no difficulties when moving house were either fortunate enough to come across competent and trustworthy moving companies or had enviable organizational skills in planning and providing for all kinds of unexpected situations.
If you want to follow their example and organize a successful relocation, you should start the moving preparations well in advance and pay meticulous attention to all the seemingly small details that have substantial consequences for the entire moving process.

My husband and I moved from a 2 bedroom apartment in Goleta to a house in Santa Barbara. We hired Loadstar Movers based on Yelp reviews. Communication with Joseph (the owner) was very clear and easy from the beginning. Our movers were punctual, friendly & EFFICIENT. In my opinion, we had quite a lot of stuff to move. Everything was moved and unloaded within 5 hours, which I was really impressed by. They treated our furniture with care and nothing was damaged. There were no hidden fees. They asked where we wanted boxes and furniture to be placed. 5 stars. Stress-free moving experience. Definitely

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.

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

Moving can be a traumatic experience when it comes to packing, moving, and unpacking a household. I had a good feeling as soon as I met Joe Vaccaro when he came to give me an estimate. The first people I met were the women who did all of the packing. They were very efficient and extremely professional in how they packed and wrapped things. Not an item was broken. The movers were also outstanding - very kind and conscientious. They worked several hours overtime and were determined to get the work done. I would recommend LoadStar Movers for anyone who is considering moving.

Professional, easy to work with and very nice and reliable!!! The owner was professional and standing by if any thing came up on the day of the move and the movers were so accommodating, friendly and hard working. Everything went as planned. I will definitely use them again and really recommend them.

Just used Joe and his team at LoadStar to move within Santa Barbara. Totally impressed with the service. They were organized & professional, they got the job done fast. Great communication before and during the move, so I knew what to expect in terms of packing and where stuff needed to go at the new place. The price was great and there were no surprises. Totally recommend these guys.

If you are looking to move within the city or beyond, look no further!
I've used Loadstar twice now and have nothing but great things to say. They are beyond professional and can tackle any move.
My first move required them getting all my belonging up a tight stair case which didn't phase them. They also were able to get my huge out door table up on my upstairs patio with ease. Best moving company in town, hands down.

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
