Chicago Local Moving Services

two professional movers

You’re moving! Whether you’re moving across town or the country, figuring out the logistics of your move is critical. Do you need to hire movers? Or do you just need professional help loading and unloading a rental truck? Chicago local moving may have you tempted to take the do-it-yourself approach; after all, you’re just moving across town, so why pay for professionals? Hiring movers, even for a very short distance move, can save you lots of time, stress, and potential damage to your property. Expert Movers are the Chicago movers ready for the job. 

Local Vs. Long-Distance Moves

There are three main types of residential moves: local, intrastate, and inter-state. Local moves generally involve anything under 50 miles. Intrastate is when your old home and your new home are in the same state. Sometimes, an interstate move can feel long-distance – like if you’re moving across Texas. Interstate moves involve your belongings crossing state lines – even if you end up in the same state. These moves require more regulation from the DOT. Technically, moves within the same metro area could be interstate – border cities St.Louis, Kansas City, and Cincinnati all cross state lines. 

If you’re simply moving apartments in the same area or to the next neighborhood, you may be tempted to go the do-it-yourself route – call up your friends and rent a truck. However, hiring professional movers can save time, energy, and stress. 

Physical Demands 

While your friends may be strong, professional movers are experts in carrying, loading, and unloading belongings and furniture. Their experience reduces the risk of moving-related injuries and the aches and pains that may show up the next day. 

Proper Packaging

You and your friends can probably bubble wrap some valuables easily enough, but professional movers understand the best ways to not only pack but load your stuff and efficiently utilize space in a moving truck. Nothing is worse than unloading your boxes to find something damaged or struggling to play moving truck Tetris and fit everything inside. The professionals know what they’re doing. 

Your friends may have the energy and the motivation to help out, but trying to carry furniture out of an apartment can easily result in a recreation of that “pivot!” scene from Friends, lots of 

yelling, injury, and damage to the property. 

Insurance

One thing  Chicago local moving professionals have that your friends don’t is insurance. Professional companies are licensed and insured for liability. Plus, some companies may offer extra insurance for your belongings. No one ever wants anything to go wrong during a move, but if something goes wrong with the professionals, you have more options and more assistance than a DIY move. 

Choosing Local Professional Movers 

National chain companies sometimes offer local moving services. However, we know that hiring a truly local company for a local move is the best option. Choosing local moving companies for Chicago local moving has many benefits over national companies. 

Locally operated moving companies are familiar with the area, increasing their ability to navigate efficiently. This can save time and, therefore, potentially save money. Local professional movers are also familiar with any local regulations and laws that may apply to a move. There may be regulations for loading and unloading, parking of moving trucks, and transportation. The familiarity and experience in local moves are a huge benefit to hiring locals for your Chicago move.

Moving Services Offered in Chicago 

No two moves are the same. Not only does moving range from local moves to long-distance moves, but customers’ needs range too. Some customers prefer professionals to handle everything. Others want to pack their own belongings or at least some of their own belongings.
