Chicago Mover Reviews
The three movers were awesome! They showed up early, and worked non-stop! I'll definitely use them for my next move!
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.
They did an amazing job moving our stuff out! We had a 3 bed 2 bath house FULL of stuff and they moved it all while being friendly and checking in whenever it was needed. Highly recommend them!
Tyrone and Darnell did a fabulous job! They were right on time, worked efficiently and were respectful and very helpful (going above and beyond). I would definitely recommend them! Many thanks!
Victor and Don not only showed up early but were very respectful and eager to help. These two men got here got the job done effectively and efficiently. I would highly recommend using John 3:16 for any type of large or small move. 5 stars across the board. ONCE AGAIN HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Efficient and conscientious moving labor help, would recommend
Best money I have ever spent!! The company checked in multiple times before move day to confirm service, the two very kind hard working movers arrived on time and ready ro work. They were very careful with ALL of our things and moved very rapidly through getting the trunk emptied. I would 100% recommend MOVEMASTERS to anyone needing help with a move. Thank you so much for making this move so easy!!
- Very punctual - easy to communicate with - friendly and understanding while sorting out payment app issues - careful, very understanding about glass ware - folded U-Haul blankets which I did not ask them to do - gave no trouble when I asked them to reposition furniture -quick
Very nice guys. Extremely helpful, neat and organized. Very happy with service.
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!
on time,super helpful and got the job done in less time then we expected
I’ve worked with Scott and the Couch Potatoes multiple times and the service has always been excellent! The guys are professional and easy to work with. Had some challenges with the move today and they hustled to help and do the best job possible! Highly would reccomend
The two men we had were amazing. I couldn’t have been happier. I would recommend this service to anyone who is moving!
From the owners personal response to the professional movers on site, I simply could not have ask for anymore. The special attention to our moving needs was handled without any questions. Non stop attitude from top to bottom throughout their entire time. Very professional, courteous and helpful throughout as well.
Excellent job they did it. I am very happy with the service.
Both movers were friendly but also professional, hard worker, respectful and willing to do everything which was needed. They took care of the time and cost, and worked carefully and clean.
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 can’t say enough good things about my movers. They were on time and prepared. They moved extremely quickly. I’d recommend them to everyone. They were both careful to not hit walls or scuff anything. Five stars! Thank you.
They arrived on time and worked very quickly. We experienced a hiccup in our plan and the guys were on board with the changes we needed to make on the spot.
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.
Alex and Carlos were great. Very polite and professional. On time and worked hard.
The crew did an excellent job.
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
absolutely fantastic - would recommend
Keishon & Javeion were the answer to our prayers. They had a difficult truck to unpack and were so fabulous! These young men were absolutely amazing. You will be so pleased and satisfied, like I am, with their work ethic. I highly recommend them.
They were in time and got everything moved in the two hour window.
Very good, thank you so much.
Overall, great experience. Good communication. Arrived early to assess the job and the team worked well together. Will call them again.
Quick, efficient and friendly!
They were late or else 5 stars
Very efficient and professional.

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.

These guys were wonderful! They came on short notice, were punctual, super professional, moved everything easily and saved my husband and I a lot of headache! I would highly recommend them!
Amazing work. Would hire again. Julian & Jeremy were able to get our 20’ uhaul fully unloaded and up 5 flights of stairs in 2 hours. Great guys, great service.
Great communication on arrival time, quick to load/unload items despite awkward conditions (rain, my poor packing), and friendly. 10/10 would recommend
M’Qion & JD are great, hardworking duo. Although unloading the PODS was very challenging, they are knowledgeable and think accordingly in order to attack & solve the challenge. They are an asset to your group. Best,
The two young gentlemen who helped us were very helpful and professional - they arrived on time with moving equipment, worked efficiently, and moved our stuff quickly. It made for an easy and stress-free experience! I would definitely request them for my next move!!!
Timely, polite, & efficient. Absolutely loved working with this Team and would recommend to anyone. They unloaded my 1 bedroom moving pod in just 2 hours.
They did an amazing job moving our stuff out! We had a 3 bed 2 bath house FULL of stuff and they moved it all while being friendly and checking in whenever it was needed. Highly recommend them!
Amazing job. On time and super friendly. Worked hard, quickly completing the job. I was worried my belongings would not fit in the truck / storage unit, but the team expertly packed it, and there was room to spare! Thanks for the expertise!!
They were so great and helpful! They arrived early and packed my moving van very carefully which was very appreciated for my long distance move. I would highly recommend them.
Will and Wallace were fantastic. They were timely, efficient, and very nice. They moved the everything without damage and were willing to go to various locations. I would recommend them 10/10 and will use to them again for my next move. Thank you Will & Wallace!
10/10 would recommend. Moved a ton of stuff down three flights of stairs in an hour and packed the cars for me. Would specifically request Josh and Ezekiel again!
The Logan Lift guys were awesome ... it was a complicated move, and they worked diligently. Will definitely.use them in the future as needed for other moves. Well done guys!
