Moving services for Des Plaines.
Local Moves
Des Plaines homes are predominantly mid-century single-family - bungalows and ranches with full basements, narrow original staircases, and decades of accumulated furniture. We ask about your home's floor plan at booking so the crew knows what they are walking into.
Long Distance
Des Plaines households moving out of state tend to have full, well-established households. Binding rate before we load, no fuel surcharges at delivery, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing and Storage
We do partial packing for the things that travel badly and full-service for anyone who wants to hand it off. Our Lincolnwood warehouse holds overflow between moves when closing dates do not align, billed on actual cubic feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Des Plaines move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A studio or one-bedroom bungalow unit typically runs $400-$700. A full ranch or Cape Cod with basement runs $800-$1,400. A larger home with garage and full basement runs $1,000-$1,900. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront - no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
Des Plaines is close to O'Hare - does airport traffic affect moves?
O'Hare's proximity affects Mannheim Road and Touhy Avenue during peak travel times, particularly on weekend mornings and Friday afternoons. We route around the airport access roads when scheduling your crew's arrival so we are not sitting in airline drop-off traffic on your clock. For homes in the Orchard Place area near the airport, we confirm routing at booking.
How far in advance should I book a Des Plaines move?
Two to three weeks for most moves. Weekday moves are more open year-round. Des Plaines does not have the same university-calendar surge as some suburbs, so the schedule is steadier. Call us and we will tell you what is available.
Is EZ Movers licensed to operate in Illinois?
Yes - Illinois ICC #228452, USDOT #2289617, $2M general liability. All publicly verifiable. We are also BBB Accredited with a 5.0 Google rating across 120+ reviews.
