Chicago Knowledge Matters
We Know Andersonville Logistics
Moving here means navigating tight alleys, busy Clark Street, and historic home layouts.
Narrow Alleys
Most moves happen via the alley. Andersonville alleys are notoriously tight. We use agile 26′ box trucks that fit without taking out power lines.
Clark Street Access
Moving into an apartment above a shop on Clark? We coordinate arrival times to minimize disruption to local businesses and pedestrians.
Vintage Layouts
Classic Chicago bungalows and 2-flats often have challenging angles. We disassemble large sofas and furniture to ensure they fit through vintage doorways.
We Move Every Corner of 60640
Lakewood Balmoral
Historic district with beautiful single-family homes. We use extensive floor protection for original hardwoods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle the “No Parking” signs for the truck?
Yes! In Chicago, you need to post “No Parking” signs 48 hours before your move. We can handle the application with the Alderman’s office and ensure signs are posted so the truck has a legal spot.
What if my furniture doesn’t fit up the stairs?
We are experienced with Chicago walk-ups. We can disassemble most furniture. If a piece absolutely won’t fit, we can offer hoisting services (through a window/balcony) for an additional fee.
Can you move during street festivals like Midsommarfest?
It is difficult due to road closures. We recommend scheduling your move for a different date. If necessary, we will work with you to find the closest loading zone, but additional carry fees may apply.
