Moving Santa Barbara Since 1981
LoadStar Movers has been part of the Santa Barbara community since 1981. Joe Vaccaro joined LoadStar in 1986 and, after more than two decades of hands-on moving experience with the company, took over ownership in 2009.
Today, Joe continues the same local tradition that LoadStar was built on — providing careful, dependable moving with fair pricing and personal service.
For more than four decades, we've helped Santa Barbara families and businesses move across town, across California and beyond.
Local experience. Personal service. Moving Santa Barbara since 1981.
Meet The Owner
Joseph Vaccaro has called Santa Barbara home since he was four years old. After graduating from San Marcos High School in 1986, he started working in the moving business.
What began as a flexible job while attending Santa Barbara City College eventually became a lifelong career.
In 2009, Joseph took ownership of LoadStar Movers.
Today, more than three decades after he first started moving furniture, Joseph and his team continue to help Santa Barbara families, businesses, realtors, seniors and nonprofits move with confidence.
