What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real Chicago moves.
“They moved our entire 2-bedroom in Lincoln Park in under 4 hours. Super careful with our furniture, wrapped everything properly, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Will definitely use again!”
“Needed a last-minute move when my lease situation changed. They squeezed me in within 48 hours. The crew was professional, fast, and nothing was damaged. Absolute lifesavers!”
“Used them for our office relocation downtown. 15 workstations, server room, the whole deal. Weekend move, zero downtime Monday morning. These guys know what they’re doing.”
“Moved my baby grand piano from a 3rd floor walkup. I was terrified something would happen, but these guys were incredibly careful. Not a scratch. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.”
“I’ve used Affordable City Movers three times now—twice for myself and once to help my parents move to Evanston. Consistent quality every time. They’re my go-to recommendation.”
“Hired them for labor-only to help unload a U-Haul. Two guys showed up right on time and had everything in my new place in 2 hours flat. Super efficient and friendly. Great value!”
