MOVERS IN CHICAGO RIDGE, IL

Complex-to-complex moves

Moving from one apartment complex to another sounds simple until you realize each has its own rules. One may want moves done by evening, another may require you to check in at the office first. Call both leasing offices a week ahead and ask about hours, parking and keys.

If your new lease starts before the old one ends, you have the luxury of choosing a quiet weekday. Use it.

New furniture from the mall area

Bought a sofa or bedroom set from a store nearby and it will not fit in the car? Our furniture pickup and delivery service picks it up and carries it into the right room. If it arrives flat-packed, furniture assembly can put it together.

Have your receipt or order number ready and confirm the store’s pickup window before scheduling.

Short carries, long hallways

Garden-style complexes often have short stairs but long interior hallways from the parking lot. Corner units at the far end can add real time. Tell us roughly how far your unit is from the nearest door and lot.

Moving in with someone

Combining two apartments into one is common. Decide in advance which duplicates stay. Two couches into a one-bedroom does not work, and making that call on moving day costs time. A storage unit move can hold the extras.

Parking near the retail area

If you live near the mall area, nearby roads can be busy on weekends and around the holidays. A morning start often makes it easier to get the truck in and out of the complex. Confirm with the leasing office where the truck may park so it does not block fire lanes or other residents.

If your complex has several entrances, point us to the closest one to your unit.

First apartment moves

Moving into a first apartment usually means a mix of hand-me-downs and new purchases. Coordinate pickups from family and stores on the same day, and list each stop when requesting an estimate. Flat-pack furniture can be assembled once it arrives.

Return keys, fobs and parking tags

Complexes often issue fobs, mailbox keys and parking tags. Gather them in one envelope before moving day and return them to the office on your way out. Ask the new complex for theirs ahead of time so the crew is not waiting at a locked entrance.
