Illinois Valley Movers Profile Image

Chris and Tyler did a great job! I would use and recommend Illinois Valley Movers. They were running a little late, but kept me apprised of their progress. They arrived and got to work. It was raining, but they didn't complain. Worked with me on loading the truck and making sure everything was secured. They did great work!

Chris and his crew worked incredibly hard to move the contents of three storage units, a basement and a bedroom to our home in Normal. It took three trips in a 26' box truck from 12noon to 7 pm. It was an incredible amount of work but they kept moving until it was completed. We are so grateful we choose Illinois Valley Movers. They were careful, considerate and incredibly hard working.
