Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about our moving services.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 2-4 weeks ahead, especially during peak season (May–September). However, we also offer same-day emergency moving when available.
Do you charge for stairs or elevators?
Stairs and elevator access are factored into your initial quote. No hidden fees—what we quote is what you pay.
What’s included in your service?
Full-service moves include professional movers, truck, furniture pads, blankets, shrink wrap, dollies, and straps. We handle loading, transport, and unloading.
Do you move pianos or specialty items?
Yes! We have experience with pianos, safes, pool tables, and large appliances. Just let us know when booking so we bring the right equipment.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards, debit cards, Venmo, and Zelle. Payment is due upon completion of the move.
Do I need a parking permit for my move?
On roughly 99% of Chicago moves, you won’t need any permit at all — our crews simply park out front, in a nearby alley, on a side street, or in a designated loading zone. The rare exception gets an enforceable CDOT parking permit, which we file on your behalf — not a sign from the local alderman’s office, which isn’t enforceable for a professional moving crew. See our Chicago moving permits and parking guide.
