    Paperwork of a fine job well done.
    Chris H.

    This was my first time using professional moving services in Chicago and it was a bit.. overwhelming at first. You kinda feel like the prettiest girl or guy at the dance and you have all these people ( companies) fighting for your attention. I looked on Google, Yelp and etc to find the right moving company for me. Crescent Movers was the first organization to contact me and gave me an exceptional quote right away. Alex, was really nice and honest with the quote and setting me up with the appointment. Now today.. Moving day, I'm so excited to move to the area of Ravenswood, Chicago area. Helping me get adjusted with the move and starting the day off right, I had Luis ( an exceptional and friendly leader contact me at 9:15 am about being en route to my old location. Luis and his incredible team of Alex and Jay were friendly and extremely professional and got right to work. Luis, Jay and Alex moved like it was a fire drill and they moved everything out of my old place in 45 mins and were gone-- driving to my new place to help me setup my new apartment. I cannot thank Luis, Alex and Jay for the quick work they made of moving my stuff into my apartment. I believe that Crescent Movers has a great team, especially with Luis, Jay and Alex in their organization. If moving this easy, especially with Crescent Movers and those guys, I'll always look forward to making moves with this team. I hope my review sheds some light on how awesome these guys are.

    "We want to make it right" is what they told me... If I can give zero stars, I would. I've used Crescent before and had no problem. That's why I went back to them, I even had some of the same guys to help with this move. This time things were different. They damaged a number of my beds, walls and floors when they moved things into my new house. Pictures below show some of the damage. They sent a representative out to my house to survey the damage. They best they offered up was $300 back. The alleged totally bill was over $2,000. To refinish a floor, $300 doesn't even cover the labor to fix a hardwood floor. It took them over a week to finally and officially offer up the $300. That's after a $200 check was offered 4 days after the move. The damage was well over $3,000 all said and done. I had a professional look at my floor and to fix the floor and have to redo the entire section. Let alone the beds that were destroyed, walls damaged for just plain carelessness. I had asked for my money back from the move. I still tipped each mover 20%. I thought that was fair. I get things get damaged, but this was excessive. I wanted to stick with a local, Chicago company. I would NEVER recommend using this company. They don't care. "Brian" (the owner or boss) is a crook who only wants money. Not one time did Brian extend a professional courtesy and call me directly, I was dealing with Joey. Nice enough guy, he's the one who came to my house and said the damage was accessible and that they "would make it right." Wake up call Crescent, this is far from "make it right." Full disclosure, I didn't take their $300. It's the principle in making things right.

    How does a pot even get this damaged?!?

    Not the company they used to be. I've used Crescent movers several times over the last ten years and I honestly can't believe how poorly my last move went....even worse is that they refuse to pay for my damaged items. My mattress was ruined, all my pots and pans are smashed - how does that even happen?!? All my glasses are shattered. All of my lamps were damaged. All my wooden furniture is scratched. The worst part is that I was offered $100 to make up for the mistakes of the movers. I had paid more than that to have them pack my stuff. After WEEKS they told me $400 was the best they could do. There's over $2000 worth of damaged items. The staff said insurance pays $.30/pound but this wasn't an issue due to the truck crashing or something like that. It was poor care. Oh also, my mover told me I didn't tip him enough. I gave the 2 of them them $400 in tips.

    Would give 10 stars if I could. These guys are amazing and so quick. We moved from one 3rd floor walk up apartment to another 3rd floor walk up apartment. They did the move in 3 hours. It was such a hot day. The price was extremely reasonable. Were very friendly and accommodating. I can't say enough about how great they were. I would recommend to everyone.

They held our things overnight in a secured location and everything was accounted for. Very friendly and responsive by phone/text on day of the move. Specifically Armendo, Otgoo, and Bayackhuu were extremely helpful and I would recommend this moving company to anyone!

    I cannot recommend Windy City Movers enough. Hands down the best decision I made for our move…read more I hired three movers and from the moment they arrived, they got straight to work. They wrapped up every single piece of furniture -- and I mean everything. My son's bean bag, his mattress, all of it was carefully wrapped and protected. They also disposed of our old couch and mattresses, which was such a bonus we didn't even have to think about. The whole crew was fast, efficient, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. Loading went smoothly, and unloading was even faster. I was genuinely impressed by how well they managed their time without ever cutting corners. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail and respect for our home. I don't allow shoes inside the house, and without me having to say much, they laid down floor mats, wore booties the entire time, and even covered my brand new carpet with plastic wrap to protect it. That level of care and consideration meant everything to me. Once all the furniture was unloaded, they set everything up for us -- we didn't have to do that part ourselves, which was such a relief after a long moving day. From start to finish, Windy City Movers made the entire experience go by seamlessly. If you're on the fence about hiring movers, don't think twice. Call Windy City Movers. You won't regret it.

    This was my first time using Collins Movers, and it was honestly the best decision I could have…read moremade! Miguel and his crew were absolutely awesome! All four men were professional, friendly, respectful of my property, and truly went above and beyond my expectations. They worked hard, worked quickly, and, most importantly, handled everything with great care. They definitely earned the tips I gave them--and honestly, they deserved even more! I have used several moving companies in the past, and I have never tipped at the level I did with Collins. That alone should tell you how impressed I was with their service. I would highly recommend Collins Movers to anyone looking for a moving company that is professional, hardworking, careful, and genuinely committed to providing great service. Miguel and his crew made a stressful moving day so much easier!

    I would not recommend this company. They are overpriced and…read morehave a very poor quality of work and even worse customer service. They protect themselves with their lengthy contract to ensure they have zero liability with your future and belongings. After sending numerous emails with no response, I called to speak to them about the damages. Richard was quick to tell me that I was lucky he took my call since he just returned from a long trip to Italy. This made me feel like my concerns were not important and he was doing me a favor by taking my call. Before hiring Collins Family Movers, pay very close attention to the damage/liability exclusions in their agreement. In my experience, those exclusions were like a green light to be careless with anything they can later say they aren't responsible for. When they damage your property, don't bother talking to Richard as he will make you feel like it's your fault for trusting them and not moving certain things yourself. I paid $1,600 to move a one-bedroom apartment with no appliances, yet apparently the best option would have been for me to move certain belongings myself. If I'm hiring and paying professional movers, I expect my belongings to be handled carefully whether or not a contract says the company will reimburse me if something gets damaged, but this is not what I got with Collins. Boxes clearly labeled for specific rooms were put in the wrong rooms. It was as if they couldn't read. I had to carry heavy boxes to the basement myself. Again a concern dismissed by Richard, but a service I paid for. A large, extremely heavy armoire was placed without anyone asking where I wanted it, and now I have to find someone to move it because it is sitting where my bed needs to go. It is unrealistic to expect a 60 year old woman to move this heavy furniture, yet all Richard could say was "where were you" as if I was unavailable. There was no sense of urgency from the moving team. It literally took three hours to load my one bedroom apartment. Mind you when I moved a year ago with Alamo and the same belongings, it took half the time. When I expressed this concern to Richard it was dismissed and excuses were made. I had to unwrap all of the furniture myself just to get them out of here because it was taking them so long. In addition the movers took an over one hour to make a drive that took me 20 minutes, while I was paying by the hour, equating to over $110 overpayment. Also, know that your trash cans will be filled with their shrink wrap because they do not haul away their own packing material, also in the contract but in my opinion a dis-service to the customer. The shrink wrap was used in place of moving blankets, which would have been a more sustainable and safer option. I've now used two different companies. Alamo Movers Inc. took roughly half the time with essentially the same belongings and provided a far better moving experience, with no damage to my property. The cost was about half as much as. Furniture was carefully moved with no damage and placed where I wanted it. When they were done I was satisfied unlike this situation.
