They were late for the appointment time. But they communicated their ETA promptly. The team was very courteous and got the truck loaded in the allotted time frame. They could have made better use of the space. But they got everything into a 26” U-Haul. And everything arrived in good shape: would definitely recommend.

Mike, Maurice, and Neal excelled in everything that was important to us. They communicated with us the day before the unloading to confirm the time. They were incredibly polite and cheerful, figured out how to get a heavy piece of furniture on a lower floor, took good care to wrap anything that needed wrapping, and cleaned up after the unloading. They were done in a timely manner. My advice is let them know what needs to be done and enjoy a cup of coffee. We will be recommending the trio to our friends that will be moving soon. And, if we ever move again, these are the guys!

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 Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-00.jpg)
"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 Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-01.jpg)
"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."

"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."

"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."

"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.

The team was awesome. Worked their butts off. They were patient with us and during the wait time for the next pod. They were true gentlemen with my sister and I. Thanks to them !!!
![GO HARD TRANSPORTS Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-01.jpg)
The guys arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently. They were very pleasant to work with and made sure to place our belongings exactly where we wanted them. Moving is always stressful, but having a team like this makes it so much easier. Yes, I would use them again!
![John 3:16 Movers Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-02.jpg)
Victor and team did an excellent job with our move out. They are our go to team for any move! They arrived on time, and were very respectful to us and property staff. Will be reaching out to them shortly for another move in!

They were on time and moved my items quickly. A couple ins were scratched upon arrival so I wish it would have been communicated to cover items differently. Over all good job
![Allstar Movers Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/075be7e7d40246649f26aee96c3fed7f.png)
Lamar was on time, cheerful, respectful, and he worked his ass off! Steve arrived about an hour after (he was sent to the wrong location, which wasn’t his fault), and worked just as hard once he was here. Again, super friendly, fast moving, and very respectful! Both guys I would highly recommend!!
![John 3:16 Movers Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.hireahelper.com/_static/img/public/geopages/stock-photos/moving-service-provider-02.jpg)
Jesse and Sean went above and beyond. They showed up early and finished early. They were extra careful with fragile items and placed everything thoughtfully so our house looked organized and tidy when they left. We are so grateful for their care and professionalism. Thank you John 3:16, we would love to work with you again!
![Allstar Movers Profile Image](https://cdn.statically.io/img/cloud.hireahelper.com/helpers/workerimages/075be7e7d40246649f26aee96c3fed7f.png)
This company is great. Very easy and efficient. The movers were very polite and caution of our home. We will be using them again. Thanks for the help.

Eduardo and Alex were great! We had a tricky move in a couple different parts, they accommodated everything very well. I would highly recommend them for any move that you may have.

Dameon and his crew were amazing. Professional, respectful, and very careful with all our items. He is super clear about the job and an experienced guy. However, one crew member was prolonged and unsure what to do, leading us to an extra hour charge. Dameon did a great job arranging stuff in the trailer, saving lots of space. I would surely recommend him for any future jobs.

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

They were amazing! They called asking if they could come a few minutes early, which I immediately accepted. They were kind and courteous. They moved efficiently and quickly without seeming like they were rushing. If I didn’t move out of Illinois, I’d hire them again in a heartbeat.
