Looking to move into, around or out of the city? Especially if you’re living in a high-rise apartment or a narrow city street, getting your things to or from your current home can be a lot more complicated and involve a lot more moving parts (or vehicles in the road) than suburban moving does.
To keep your stress levels low and confidence high in your city movers, we’ve got some great tips for you to use when looking for city movers who are well equipped and highly experienced in these kinds of moves. After all, it can be tough to navigate any move where your movers don’t have the expertise to handle everything a relocation might throw at them, nevermind a move in the city that can have so many different moving parts. Hiring movers who specialize in city moves will give you a straightforward experience that will set you up for success every step of the way.
Here are some benefits to hiring movers who specialize in city moves:
Whether you’re living in Chicago and looking to move into the city, or just looking for city movers for your area, having movers who know their way around your city, area, and who are familiar with the circumstances that might involve navigating your neighborhoods is invaluable for your transition.
From parking and maneuvering around tiny back streets and side streets, to even parallel parking a moving truck, you’ll want a team with you who are familiar with local setups and who are prepared to handle them.
Navigating any unique home can be an experience in and of itself, but trying to navigate a city high-rise apartment or older converted apartment building can be very unnerving for those who have never moved in or out of buildings with setups like those before.
From older walkups with no elevators, to tight studio set ups, you should always be using movers who have experience moving clients out of any style of city building (plus in maneuvering items down any narrow hallways or tight stairways) that you may live in.
Just as experience with city building types is important to look for in your movers, having a professional moving company with crews who have access to equipment specifically tailored to help navigate your narrow city building or close-quartered home can really bring your move to the next level.
Companies who specialize in city moves will not only have experience in moving in these types of environments, but will also be able to use their equipment to move furniture safely through tight hallways or stairways.
Hiring professional movers who specialize in city moves doesn’t differ too much from hiring movers who specialize in a different area of moving – it’s all about finding the right company to match the needs of your relocation.
Make sure you do your research and make sure that your in town movers are familiar with your type of building, general layout, and in moving clients throughout the city. Make sure they are insured and have reasonable pricing options, and have friendly and helpful customer service representatives. The best way to make sure of this? By using Chicago Movers, the best professional Chicago moving company for all of your city moving needs. From navigating your home or building to providing your with the best prices and service possible, we’ll always have your back.

My move went very well. All of the people working for you were great. That includes the office staff, the movers in Downers Grove and the movers in Goodyear. The drivers and movers on both ends worked diligently, carefully and did not waste any time. They were courteous and neat.

Moving 3 times in 2 ½ years is not something Lynn would recommend to anyone. For us, it would have been impossible without the assistance of Chris and his crews at Hollander Moving and Storage. We’ve done home-to-home, home-to-condo and condo-to-condo moves. In each situation, we found Hollander’s staff to…

Overall we were very pleased with our experience with Hollander moving. Mr. Bello, our contact in Mexico was attentive to our needs and questions. The ATI packing team was outstanding. It was a pleasure to watch them work together--a real spirit of cooperation. The morning we were leaving Mexico we…

Yes, all the crew members were excellent. We would recommend you. The movers were work horses, very pleasant, and took care of all of our belongings with great care. We are waiting for a call back from Adrienne Ross about an issue. I spoke to her on Tuesday and she…
