Moon Movers is a Chicago moving company based on Jackson Blvd, three miles from the city center. The crew drives to your block and works until the last piece is in place.
Moon Movers is a Chicago company with its own trucks and its own crews. Three things customers tell us they came back for.
Crews sized to the job
A crew of 2 to 4 movers is matched to the size of the job and handles every type of household item, from solid wood cabinets to thin-walled glassware.
Written estimate first
We go over every detail and draw up an estimate that accounts for the volume of belongings and the work involved. The estimate is itemized, so you see what each part of the job covers.
Seven days, morning to night
The crew works every day of the week, weekends and holidays included. Calling a Chicago moving company the day before is usually enough — the truck arrives at the agreed time.

People move inside Chicago for all sorts of reasons — a lease ending, a house purchase in Cook County, a job that shifted to the suburbs. Most leave it to the end of the month and find every truck booked. Calling a Chicago moving company a week ahead saves a full day of calls.
What Sets the Crew Apart
Short DriveJackson Blvd to the city center is three miles.
On most residential streets the truck parks at the curb without paperwork. On busier blocks or permit zones the city may require a temporary no-parking sign — tell us a week ahead and we handle the filing.
Unplug appliances and let the refrigerator defrost overnight. Take down ceiling fixtures and curtain rods yourself — they slow the crew if left in place. For a washer or dryer, shut the water valve and disconnect the hoses the evening before. The fewer loose parts the crew has to work around, the faster they load the truck.
Write the destination room and a short list of what is inside on at least two sides of each box, in large print. The crew places boxes by room label, not by guessing what might be inside. Number the boxes and keep a matching list on your phone so you can check at unloading whether anything stayed behind.
Weekday mornings are the calmest — fewer trucks on Chicago streets and the building elevator is usually free. End-of-month weekends are hardest to book because most leases in Cook County turn over on the first. A Tuesday or Wednesday, if your schedule allows, means a shorter wait for the truck. For the full calendar, see our month-by-month guide to the best time to move in Chicago.
A turnkey move with a Chicago moving company covers the full cycle: furniture disassembly, packing with protective materials, carrying items out, loading, transport, unloading, placement in the rooms and cleanup of packing debris. The same crew handles every stage from start to finish. Office and business relocations follow the same cycle.
The crew uses professional straps, hand trucks and rigging slings. Heavy wardrobes and sofas are carried carefully without scratching walls or stairwell railings — the treads and doorframes are padded before the first piece goes through.
How a Move Goes
Step 1 of 4
Home Survey
A dispatcher talks through every room with you — by phone, video or in person. The dispatcher counts the heavy pieces, notes the staircase and the parking situation, and draws up an estimate based on the actual volume. You get the crew size and the rate in writing before anyone is booked.

Packing
The crew arrives with blankets, stretch film, straps and cardboard shields. Beds and tables come apart, glass shelves are boxed, and every surface that could scratch is padded. Hallway walls and door frames are lined with protective sheets before the first piece goes out.
Packing materials brought by the crew
Furniture disassembled and wrapped
Glass and ceramics packed into padded boxes
Hallway walls and doorframes covered before the carry
Transport
A truck is matched to the load — 16, 20 or 26 feet — so the whole household fits in one trip. Everything is strapped in tiers from floor to ceiling and nothing shifts on the road. The crew lead stays reachable from departure to arrival.
Truck picked to fit the load, never undersized
Items stacked and strapped from the floor up
Crew lead on the phone the whole drive
Volume measured in advance so one trip covers everything
Placement
At the new address boxes go to the room written on the label, not into a pile by the entrance. Beds and tables are put back together, packing waste is flattened and taken away, and the crew stays until you walk every room and confirm nothing is missing.
The Jackson Blvd crew covers all fifty-six Chicago ZIP codes, every day of the week.
Apartments, houses and offices anywhere in Cook County — packing, disassembly, transport and reassembly handled by the same crew, so you are not calling separate contractors.
