“My day of movers were fantastic! Worked efficiently and with true care of my stuff- i can’t thank them enough! The office staff wildly underestimated how long the project would take so keep that in mind when budgeting for your next project!”
From a Lakeview vintage walk-up to a Bridgeport bungalow, the job is the same on our end: an employed crew, a clean truck loaded with blankets and dollies, and a clock that doesn’t pad. We don’t subcontract your move out to a stranger. Vince’s movers load it, drive it, and unload it themselves. That’s the whole point of how we built this.
Pricing is simple. Pick an hourly crew if your move is quick and predictable, or lock a flat band if you’d rather know the number up front. Either way the estimate is written, and the blankets, dollies, and basic tools are already in the truck, not a surprise line later.
Neighborhoods we run every week
Most of our local volume sits inside the city and the inner ring, and the access tricks change block to block:
- The Loop, River North, Streeterville: high-rises with COIs, dock windows, and tight freight elevators.
- Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park: vintage walk-ups with narrow back stairs and no elevator.
- Logan Square, Avondale, Bucktown: three-flats and greystones, permit-zone parking off Milwaukee and Western.
- Andersonville, Edgewater, Rogers Park: older condos and two-flats up near the lake.
What a Chicago local move actually costs
Two ways to book. The hourly rate covers a truck plus crew; the flat bands below are typical ranges by home size for a standard city or near-suburb move.
| Home size | Typical flat range | Hourly option |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $380 – $620 | $149/hr for 2 movers + truck $199/hr for 3 movers + truck |
| 1-bedroom | $620 – $1,000 | |
| 2-bedroom | $1,050 – $1,650 | |
| 3-bedroom | $1,750 – $2,700 | |
| 4-bed house | $2,500 – $3,800 |
A $129 deposit locks your date and comes straight off the total. Standard coverage is $0.60/lb released value; full-value protection is available if you want it.
Built for a Chicago winter
January doesn’t postpone a lease. We salt and tarp the path, wrap furniture against slush, and our crews know which one-ways near Western and Milwaukee will eat twenty minutes if you don’t plan the truck spot. We’ll also walk you through pulling a residential parking-permit zone hold so we’re not circling the block on move day.
What’s not included
Honest line on the things people assume are baked in but aren’t: city moving permits or guaranteed dock reservations (we’ll help you arrange them, but the building or the city issues them), specialty items like a piano or gun safe (from $399), and packing materials if you want us to box you up (that’s our full-pack service, from $420). Everything in the truck (pads, dollies, straps, wardrobe boxes on request) is covered.
