Losing my mother was an incredibly difficult time for me, and when I inherited her antique dresser, I was worried about how it would make the journey to my home. Thankfully, this moving company was up to the task! Their team handled the dresser with the utmost care and attention, ensuring that it arrived at my doorstep without a scratch. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and the level of responsiveness the team provided throughout the entire process. It’s clear that they truly care about their customers and their belongings. Thank you for making a difficult time just a little bit easier.

Our move with Chicago Local Moving & Storage Inc was an absolute delight, especially since it was our first time hiring movers! The two movers assigned to our move were not only courteous but also highly skilled in their work. Punctuality was never an issue with them as they arrived exactly on time and worked with precision and care throughout the move. They were extremely efficient, making sure that our belongings were well-protected and transported safely. I would definitely consider using Chicago Local Moving & Storage again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who needs professional movers. Thanks for making our move such a breeze!

I had the pleasure of working with Chicago Moving and Storage recently and the experience was outstanding! Zee, who I dealt with in the office, was extremely helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure that my moving needs were met. On the day of the move, three strong men arrived on time and tackled the job with ease, despite the scorching heat outside. They worked quickly and carefully, making sure that all my furniture was moved without a scratch. The entire move was seamless, and I couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you, Chicago Moving and Storage, for making my move such a breeze!

FAQ Small Moves Chicago
1. What qualifies as a “Small Move” in Chicago?
A small move typically involves relocating a single large item (like a piano or refrigerator), a few pieces of furniture, or the contents of a studio apartment or dorm room. It is a specialized service designed for those who don’t have enough belongings to fill a traditional large moving truck but still need professional help with heavy lifting and transport.
2. Can you help with “partial moves” where I handle some of the packing?
Yes. Chicago Moving & Storage offers partial moving services. They can handle just the large, valuable, or heavy items that require professional equipment and care (like oversized furniture that won’t fit in a pickup truck), while you take care of the smaller boxes and personal items.
3. Do you offer storage options if my new space isn’t ready?
Absolutely. The company provides both short-term and long-term climate-controlled storage solutions. They offer a “curbside service” where their team handles the loading into the storage unit for you. This is particularly helpful for students during summer breaks or anyone transitioning between smaller apartments.
4. How do you handle moving heavy single items like pianos or gym equipment?
They specialize in “Large Single Item Moving.” Using specialty tools and years of experience, the team can safely move heavy or delicate items such as pianos, gym equipment, refrigerators, and large wooden bed frames. This service is often more affordable than hiring a full-service crew for a whole house.
5. Are your small move services licensed and insured?
Yes, Chicago Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured (IL ICC #143263). Even for the smallest moves, they provide the same level of professional protection and insurance coverage as they do for large residential or commercial relocations, ensuring your items are protected during transit.
