★★★★★“EZ Movers did a tremendous job for my daughter. I hired them and then had to change the moving date at the last minute and they took everything in stride and worked with our changed time line. It was an unplanned move and everything was chaotic, including our time line. They showed up late in the day, as we requested, and worked with joy, good humor and professionalism until after midnight. That was after having moved another family for the full work day!!! What a wonderful company. I happily recommend them for a professional job with no breakage or damage to anything. Hire this company and you won't be disappointed.”

Local Moves Within Lakeview
Lakeview moves vary a lot by sub-neighborhood — a Southport Corridor two-flat on a quiet side street is a straightforward job, while an East Lakeview condo on Broadway might need a COI and a parking permit on one of the busiest stretches of the north side. We get the details at booking so nothing surprises the crew on move day.
Long Distance & Out-of-State Moves
Lakeview's higher homeownership rate means moves out of the neighborhood tend to be larger — full households headed to the suburbs, the North Shore, or out of state. Binding rate locked before we load, no fuel surcharges at delivery, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing, Storage & Supplies
Southport and East Lakeview households often have the kind of furniture that needs to be wrapped right — antiques, custom pieces, art bought at street festivals that traveled badly last time. We do partial packing for the pieces that matter and full-service for anyone who wants to hand it off entirely. When closing dates don't line up, our Lincolnwood warehouse holds the shipment between moves, billed on actual cubic feet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Lakeview move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A studio or one-bedroom in a Lakeview walk-up typically runs $400–$900. A two-bedroom runs $1,000–$1,400. Three-bedroom homes — common in Southport and East Lakeview — typically run $1,400–$1,900. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront — no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
Does a Cubs game day actually affect my move in Lakeview?
It can, and significantly. Cubs home games run April through early October, and the Clark/Addison/Sheffield area — which covers a wide radius around Wrigley — sees road closures, parking bans, and street congestion for 2–3 hours before and after every game. If you're moving within a few blocks of Wrigley on a home game day, your truck may not be able to get to your building during that window. We pull the Cubs home schedule when you call and flag any conflicts before you book — not after you've signed a lease and committed to a date. If your move date falls on a game day, we'll tell you exactly what to expect and help you decide whether to adjust the start time or pick a different date.
How far out should I book a Lakeview move?
For weekends May through September, 3–4 weeks is realistic — that's peak season for the neighborhood and game days compress weekend availability further. The CDOT parking permit for your truck needs to be filed 4–5 business days out, so that's usually the hard deadline. East Lakeview condo buildings that require a COI need extra lead time — sometimes 7–10 days for building manager processing. Weekday moves are more flexible year-round. Call us and we'll tell you what's available.
Is EZ Movers licensed to operate in Illinois?
Yes — Illinois ICC #228452, USDOT #2289617, $2M general liability. The COI your East Lakeview condo requires comes from that coverage. We're also BBB Accredited with a 5.0 Google rating across 120+ reviews.
