Checkmate Movers, A Chicago Moving Company

Chicago Residents Feel Confident with Professional Movers
Its not easy, but its real simple: We take your things and put them on a truck, bring them to your new place, move them in. Like everyone else, we wrap, we hoist, we pack its just part of the job. We only make two promises. First, that we dont charge mystery fees. Second that well work hard, because thats what we love to do.

Checkmate, A Chicago Moving Company, Takes the hassle out of moving.

We are a full service moving company with years of experience and client testimonials to back us up.

No Hidden Fees
Simple, Hourly Rates
Experienced, Capable Movers
Low Minimum Charge

We welcome the first-time moving customer, and those that only want help with one item with a minimum charge among the lowest available. We wrap all items of concern, but don't spend a lot of time and materials wrapping everything in sight.

Over thirty years ago, a group of Northwestern students used a 52 Chevy pickup truck to start a Chicago moving company. They piled furniture and boxes as high as they safely could, and moved their customers across the North side of Chicago. They learned the value of efficiency, and how it tempers the most basic requirement of the job: effort. They learned that working harder and smarter brought them success.

Rather than worry about advertising, name recognition, or any sort of gimmick, they let their work show for itself, and the business thrived on previous customers and word of mouth recommendations. Those loyal customers were the backbone of the Chicago moving company for many years to come.

Although different people may do the moving, the Chicago moving company remains largely the same. We still value efficiency along with effort, and we have gained a wealth of experience as the years passed. We wont run breathlessly back and forth, scratching walls and chipping furniture as we jam pieces around tight corners, and you wont see us lazing about as your furniture sits on the truck.

Thats why over 75% of our business is still previous customers and word of mouth recommendations. Its why we get high ratings on sites such as Angies List and Yelp. We know the job is not glamorous or prestigious, but always have, and always will, operate on the premise that any job worth doing is worth doing right.

Corey, Dajuan, Mike and (that other guy!)

At some point a man has to look in the mirror and realize he's too old to rely on friends to help him move. The days of renting a truck, bribing buddies with pizza and beer, hauling box after box down the stairs and ending up with scratched furniture and broken electronics are over.

That point came for me just a few weeks ago. I knew I had to hire professionals and not use something a fly by night Chicago moving company where one rolls the dice on contract labor. Even then you have to negotiate a huge rented truck through an alley or a one-way street, fill it with gas and return it.

A friend recommended Checkmate and after confirming with reviews here I opted to go with them.

Best. Decision. Ever.

Kevin is very straightforward in explaining the pricing. I did a cost-benefit analysis of the whole deal and found him to be very valuable as his estimate was less than the engagement ring on my fiancee's finger.

I had to reschedule from early Saturday to Sunday at the last minute and he was able to accommodate a move at 3 pm. His Chicago moving company crew called me at 1 to ask if they could go ahead and come by and I told them absolutely! as I was ready to move asap.

Corey and his crew showed up a half hour later and immediately got to work. You might think you have an obligation to help these guys, but let me make it easy on you.

IF YOU TRY TO HELP YOU ARE SLOWING THEM DOWN. GRAB A CHAIR AND JUST WATCH!

Seriously, the way they move is so startlingly efficient, it's easier to stand by and watch rather than participate.

Unloading the truck is much quicker than loading it and pretty soon we had all our stuff.

The estimated time was a bit over than my quote, but it was through no fault of their own. I underestimated what we both owned which caused an increase in the time it took to load everything.

There are some big pluses here -

1- This Chicago moving company wraps your furniture to protect it. My fiancee's couch was damaged by guys who brought it in her place last year. Checkmate wrapped the couch was to get it out the door.

2 - They really do want you to do nothing. Get out of their way.

3 - They're very likable. There's no concern that they're going to try to swipe something or walk off the job. The whole time the guys were in a good mood while moving my stuff and hers.
