Chicago Mover Reviews
Did a good job
They did a good job
Trent and Damien worked fast and took great care of my items as they loaded/unloaded. Super nice guys too.
The movers arrived on time. Moved everything with care and without a problem of any sort. they finished within the 2 hours we were hoping for.
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.
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.
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.
Great job. Steve and Alex worked hard and did an excellent job. U88y NO bo bos.
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.
They were so professional, called to let us know there was a brief delay upon arrival. They worked extremely well together. Everything was done with complete care and respect. I would use this team again and highly recommend them
Absolutely exceptional crew thank you for that moving work!!!
Movers were fantastic.
Professional and punctual
Great workers who did an outstanding job!
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!
I had an amazing experience with Azteca Movers Inc. during my recent move. The crew was punctual, professional, and incredibly efficient. They handled all my items with the utmost care, from packing to transporting, ensuring everything arrived safely. Their attention to detail and friendly customer service made the entire process stress-free. The pricing was very fair for the high-quality service provided. I highly recommend Azteca Movers Inc. to anyone in need of reliable and hardworking movers!
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
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
The young men that helped me move in, Ethan, Alex and Christian were very helpful! They carefully unloaded my Pod and managed the different areas the boxes were going in. I had to reschedule, and that wasn’t a problem!!!
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.
Both of those guys were very friendly and got the job done very quickly and makes sure they took care of each item they helped load and unload .

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."
- 24-7 Moving LLC

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.

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
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.
I cannot express how appreciative I am for Logan Lift Express and their team — super punctual, super professional and efficient, went above and beyond to get everything done. Very knowledgable about PODS city service and got my PODS container loaded up perfectly. Would absolutely recommend for anyone with moving/mover needs, thank yall a million.
Our two movers, Fred and Timothy, arrived on time and ready to work. They did a fantastic job: efficient, didn’t nick a single wall, loaded our heaviest furniture, and were positive and respectful. Great job!
Victor and his team went above and beyond to make my move a success. They were on time even and worked tirelessly to accommodate a last-minute change to my timeline the day of services. The entire crew was friendly, respectful, and worked from the time they arrived to the time they left. I would highly recommend John 3:16 to anyone moving in the Chicago-metro!
The Allstar guys helped me transfer my storage items from two storage containers to one storage container. They were efficient and knowledgeable about the best way I needed pack container. They answered any questions i had. Both guys were pleasant and did a great job. I would recommend Allstar Movers.
Although 1 hour late from a previous job, the 2 men worked hard and made up for it. They stayed 1 hour past the scheduled time to make sure the job was 100% complete. I cannot believe how much these 2 men did in 3 hours! Well worth it. Thank you!
Great job that Steve and Juan did today. They were on time, prepared for work and worked very hard. I had 3 flat screen TV’s. Two of them were a bit, of a challenge, but Steve figured it out. Both were very respectful of my property , and belongings. I would definitely use them again, and encourage anyone, looking to move to use them. Valerie Royster Dolton IL
The team was extremely quick and efficient getting things done with very minimal damage considering I had nothing wrapped in moving blankets. I did the best I could to pack with injuries and the team did an outstanding job getting it loaded and unloaded for me!
Lloyd and his brother did an amazing job helping us pack our house into a storage pod. They clearly have experience in their trade and know exactly how to navigate it all. They worked hard and went above and beyond to help us. They were very professional and friendly. Easy to work with. We definitely recommend using Lloyd Moving and Labor.
They did a good job with a challenging move - we have some large pieces that were difficult to get up a switch back stair. They worked quickly and completed the 16' container within the expected time. Some furniture was scratched on the concrete stairs.
Move Masters were extremely professional. First of the arrived on time and ready to work. They quickly assessed the job and loaded the truck perfectly. The team was highly productive and quickly loaded myself and my mother- in-law. I’m my experience, this group of professionals come highly recommended. Thanks for making my moving experience pleasant.
