“Very good. Would recommend. Brought in several very heavy items with care where I wanted them. All personnel were very helpful.”
Evanston moves look easy on a map and rarely are. The older two-flats and three-flats off Davis St and Chicago Ave come with narrow back stairs and no elevator, while the newer condo towers near the lake need a freight-elevator reservation and a certificate of insurance before we can even park the truck. We sort that out ahead of time so move day actually stays quick.
Our movers know the Evanston street grid — the one-ways around downtown, the metered stretches near the Davis Purple Line stop, and the permit blocks in the 60201 and 60202 ZIPs where you cannot just leave a 26-footer running. When a spot is tight, we shuttle with a smaller truck rather than risk a ticket or a blocked alley.
Most of our Evanston work is students and faculty around Northwestern, young families trading an apartment for a house in the south end, and downsizers heading into the condos by the lakefront. Whatever the job, the same named lead who shows up in the morning is the one who hands you the keys at the end.
