Chicago Mover Reviews
Guys where great
Darius and his crew did a fantastic job unloading my truck and setting up my furniture. They were on time, moved very quick, and were very nice!
not writing anything
Very pleasant and good at what they do! Got the whole job done in almost exactly an hour, up 2 flights of stairs.
Man! I was overwhelmed with their level of commitment. It only took them an hour of the two hours commitment. They stacked my truck efficiency. What I thought would be a lingering process, these brothers in Jesus's Christ totally blew me away. Five stars ain't enough, I would have given then ten stars. John 3:16 Movers are Awesome.... Praise God!!!
Steve and Elmer did a great job, were professional and moved quickly.
I would definitely recommend MOVEMASTERS for your move. Our move involved loading our rented truck and we had a lot of small boxes and miscellaneous items along with the standard heavier furniture and we honestly didn’t think everything was going to fit on the truck. They handled the job with no problem, efficiently fitting everything in. They were on time, worked hard and were very respectful. I would definitely use them again.
I would highly recommend Lavoe Movers. They were communicative and punctual. They showed up and immediately went to work. They handle my items with care and did a great job with organizing everything on the truck.
Showed up right on time, had to negotiate some stairs we weren’t aware of before arrival. Could not have asked for a better job done. Will use them again in a minute.
Second time using Fallen Movers and they were, per usual, fantastic. Timely, well-prepared and they worked diligently until the job was completed. Look no further.
They were wonderful beyond words. Very hard workers that were well trained. I’m totally satisfied and would not hesitate to hire them again.
Absolutely exceptional crew thank you for that moving work!!!
Professional and punctual
Great workers who did an outstanding job!
They were very careful with my items and got right to work.
AWESOME!!! Gabriel an crew worked their a** off and were friendly and helpful. Would give more stars if could !!!
I had two guys to unload a pod and move the items to my new apartment. They were polite, helpful and FAST! All my things arrived in good condition and they helped reassure me about the moving logistics of parking, unloading and the elevator. Would definitely use them again. Thanks!
Carlos and Francisco were amazing! Showed up on time, very professional, and moved all of our items quickly! We are so grateful for their help and will definitely be recommending them to everyone!!!
They were on time and prepared for the job. They worked extremely hard and were very respectful of the property they moved. This is the second time we have hired them and would absolutely use them again in the future.
The guys, Justin and Jamil were awesome! They efficiently handled the job and were very kind and polite. I would have these guys help again.
They arrived on time and were prepared for the job. They were friendly and helpful and respectful. I’d call again when I need their assistance. All the best, Diane P
Ganga Movers make our move easier. Nice people's
Danil and his helper were on time and focused. They introduced themselves and went right to it, unloading and moving what needed to be done. Very pleasant and efficient workers. I would use them again and recommend to my friends and neighbors. Thank you again!
absolutely fantastic - would recommend
Wesley Berry was extremely helpful, got the work done quickly and very efficient and professional
5 stars for on time, worked really hard; great at organizing our stuff in the PODs. They were moving so fast they broke my grandma’s mirror that had sentimental value for me and dropped a brand new can of paint all over the driveway and didn’t say anything. Luckily it was water based and we could power wash it off (we were selling the house). Everything else was great and your customer service was fantastic!
Overall, great experience. Good communication. Arrived early to assess the job and the team worked well together. Will call them again.
Super quick and did a great job!

Frequently asked moving questions in Chicago
Real Advice from Chicago Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Chicago. (They’re really nice!)
"Chicago is a very busy place so I would recommend being prepared for traffic and a lot of people. If traveling into or out of Chicago give yourself an extra hour of traveling time."
- Family Of Movers
"In and around the Chicagoland area if you have a move that may cause restriction of traffic (either vehicle or pedestrian), you should check in with your area's alderman office "
- Fast and Reliable Service
"Check with village or local alderman for PODS requirements inside the city. We have seen customers have issues with getting PODS left on the street."
- Logan Lift Express
"Hire professional movers in Chicago! City streets and alleys in Chicago are narrow and it's difficult to maneuver large moving trucks. Plus, if you don't have a commercial license, you will surely get a parking ticket."
- Coffey Bros. Moving
"We often obtain parking permits for customers moving in and around the city. With just a couple days advance notice, we can utilize our contract with the City of Chicago to come out and put parking restrictions on trees, light poles and fences so that our truck(s) can park safely and efficiently for any move."
- Melendez Moving
"To save money get your boxes and tape from the local U-Haul store. I find that on boxes they have great deals. Other places like Home Depot are good, but U-Haul has the best deals."

Major Neighborhoods in Chicago
Professional movers know the ins and outs of Chicago, from Lincoln Park to Uptown, ensuring there are no surprises on Moving Day. Trust the movers to secure parking permits, and schedule your move during less congested hours to streamline the process and ensure a smooth transition.
Lakeview
Lakeview is synonymous with baseball, so when you're moving in, be sure to factor in the streets nearest Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs' stomping ground. Lake Michigan is right nearby, and not far is Belmont Harbor, where you’ll find boats, tennis, golf, or a relaxing day by the water. And don’t forget to check out Briar Street Theatre and the Southport Corridor! Secure parking permits in advance, consider the timing to beat the traffic, and hire professional movers experienced with all of Lakeview's little quirks.
Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is home of the aptly named Lincoln Park Zoo, one of America's oldest zoos, and still completely free to visit! This famous North Side neighborhood also has a famous conservatory and a botanical garden. And if you're up for a little whimsy, check out Oz Park – a playful nod to the Wizard of Oz. Otherwise, there are no flying monkeys, but the city layout, parking, and traffic can be bothersome. It’s highly recommended you hire professional movers familiar with the area, so getting to your new home will be as easy as three heel clicks!
South Side
Chicago's South Side is a patchwork of cool neighborhoods, all connected with incredible highlights. (It's the place to go for a legit Chicago-style hot dog!) Hyde Park has sights to see with lakefront spots, from the 31st Street Beach to the chill Promontory Point. And when it comes to music, blues and gospel is the vibe, but there are also festivals galore, as well as venues like the Checkerboard Lounge. No matter what you're into, movers in Chicago will be able to drive down Commercial Ave with ease.
Uptown
Uptown is music heaven for all you music aficionados out there. It's home to the Green Mill Jazz Club, where legends like Charlie Parker and Billie Holiday made their mark. The Aragon Ballroom, the Riviera Theater, and the Uptown Theater are also here, ready to entertain you with shows of every flavor. All that brings in tough traffic and parking, but professional movers will get you past Lawrence and Broadway and to your new place, so you can take a break and head to Little Vietnam for some incredible eats while your new Uptown home is getting set up.

On time with Great communication on arrival time. Polite and patient with taking inventory. Efficient and Careful with all property. Would absolutely recommend and use them again. Easy 5/5 rating.
They were on time and prepared for the job. They worked extremely hard and were very respectful of the property they moved. This is the second time we have hired them and would absolutely use them again in the future.
Showed up right on time, had to negotiate some stairs we weren’t aware of before arrival. Could not have asked for a better job done. Will use them again in a minute.
The crew was very friendly and on time unfortunately…Two pieces of furniture were damaged. Our bed rail was dropped and cracked and my China cabinet endured some significant wood and finish damage. They did work hard as there were many stairs and it was a hot day. Just would have appreciated being told about the damage as it occurred and not leaving for us to find later.
Nice guys who arrived on time. This was moving from a large 1 bedroom high rise apartment. They were quick and efficient and the load into a 16 foot rental truck, for a trip from Chicago to New Mexico, was well packed. Everything arrived without any damage. I would use these guys again!
Seriously, these two guys showed up and, over the course of two hours, made a ton of my problems simply vanish to the dumpster out back. I am so thankful! The guys were super cool too. HUGE THANKS!
These guys were AMAZING!! They were on time, energetic, kind, and professional. They were done much faster than the two hours booked and were worth every dollar! Thanks to them the move was efficient and stress-free. We would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again for another move.
They were super fast and took care of all my belongings. Got the move done sooner than we anticipated. They had supplies such as pads and wrap. Would definitely recommend and use them again.
These two gentlemen were prompt, polite and professional. They got the job done quickly and efficiently. The whole experience was great. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality help with a move. Thank you!
Whew! Hottest day in August and Tyrone & Darnell were amazing!! They communicated every bit of the way & worked until the job was done. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thanks guys! Julie & Paul
David was amazing and did most of the job in his own!! He was accommodating and willing to move anything around we needed. I’d recommend him for your next move.
These guys are amazing. NO messing around, just work! Tyrone has an incredible eye for loading and building out the jigsaw puzzle and got the most out of our POD. They were carefully and considerate of all our fragile possessions. I ABSOLUTELY recommend using these guys!!!
