Chicago Knowledge Matters
We Know Wicker Park Logistics
Moving in 60622 isn’t like moving in the suburbs. It requires navigating narrow one-way streets, busy intersections, and tricky stairwells.
Narrow One-Way Streets
Streets like Hoyne and Leavitt are tight. We use appropriately sized trucks (26′) that can navigate without blocking the whole block.
Tight Stairwells
Vintage 3-flats often have sharp turns. We know how to maneuver sectionals or hoist them through the balcony if needed.
The “Six Corners”
We plan routes to avoid getting stuck in the Damen/North/Milwaukee gridlock during rush hour, saving you billable time.
We Serve Every Corner of Wicker Park
Beer Baron Row
Historic mansions on Hoyne. We use extensive floor protection to preserve original hardwood and tile.
Division Street Corridor
Busy commercial and residential mix. We coordinate loading zones to avoid blocking bike lanes.
Near The 606
Homes near the Bloomingdale Trail. We handle moves efficiently without disrupting trail access points.
Noble Square Border
Just southeast of the main hub. We navigate the mix of new condos and older walk-ups seamlessly.
Milwaukee Avenue
High traffic zone. We handle the necessary permits to block meters for the truck.
Bucktown Border
North of North Ave. We cover the entire area up to Fullerton with the same local crew.

Moved from a 3rd floor walk-up on Damen to Bucktown. The crew was amazing. They hoisted my couch over the balcony without a scratch.

Great experience. They handled the permit for the moving truck on Milwaukee Ave so we didn’t get ticketed. Fast and efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle moving large furniture in narrow stairwells?
We are experts at maneuvering tight spaces. If a piece absolutely won’t fit, we have hoisting capabilities to bring it in through a window or balcony safely.
Do you handle parking permits for the moving truck?
Yes! Parking can be tough in Wicker Park. We can obtain the necessary City of Chicago moving permits to reserve 40 feet of curb space for the truck.
Do you move on weekends?
Yes, we move 7 days a week. We recommend booking weekend moves 2-3 weeks in advance as they fill up quickly, especially around the 1st and 30th of the month.
Can you pack my kitchen?
Absolutely. We offer full and partial packing services. Many clients have us just pack the “difficult” rooms like the kitchen and library while they handle clothes and linens.
