I can't begin to RAVE enough about Patriot Movng and the wonderful service from Maciej. Patriot Moving exceeded my expectations and because of this, my bar is now set high! I reached out to several other companies back in February when I purchased a very heavy, vintage stove that needed to be picked up and delivered. I received a wide range of quotes, Maciej fell in the middle of the range. What won me over and has given a customer forever was his empathy and respect. I got sick immediately after getting the quotes. After 4 days of being in a delirious Covid brain fog, I sent emails to every company letting them know I wouldn't be able to get back to them immediately and the move wouldn't happen until around the end of March. The other companies sent me back messages like "Book with me!" "Are you ready?" "Did you see my quote?" One called me every day, sometimes twice a day. I had a 103 fever, I didn't even know the day of the week. Maciej immediately replied with wishes to get better soon and that whenever I was feeling better, he would be available to help. He followed up after a week with just a simple message, "I hope you are feeling better." His compassion, his patience, and his kindness told me all I needed to know about how he would treat my belongings. I finally had a pick up date, quickly communicated with Patriot Moving and set up the pick up time. It was all so easily done by email and text. They moved a vintage 1951 Chambers Model C stove for me. The stove is solid, as in over 450lbs solid! It is made of cast iron, enamel, and insulation all tightly packed within a 38" wide stove. It's a big, heavy beast which needed to be moved from an old 1880's apartment high-rise in the city. This meant narrow doorways and narrow spaces, smaller elevators, and lots of lifting. Patriot Moving showed up a little early and prepared for the move! We communicated mostly by email and text, never having a chance to speak by phone. He provided a COI right away as requested for by the owner. The team showed up prepared with everything for the move including tools to remove a door. They treated my stove and the residence with white glove service care. My stove was carefully wrapped tightly with stretch film to present anything from falling out or shifting. I removed most parts, but there were some that couldn't be removed. The moving team asked for permission when they needed to remove something, completely explaining their process and what to anticipate. They used plenty of moving blankets and covers to keep the home protected as well as the stove. They delivered right away and moved it in carefully, positioning it exactly where we needed it. Ensured that everything was just right, made sure we had all the parts removed and was ready to put everything back on for us. From the moment I reached out for a quote to the minute they finished the move and left, I received nothing short of excellent service! The stellar response and care for my stove was incredible! I won't ever hesitate to recommend them to everyone! Maciej and his team are truly exceptional people. Thank you! read more

10/10. I am so happy we chose Patriot Moving. They were easy to work with, the most reasonable price, and the movers were fantastic. They showed up on time, hustled, and kept everything in great condition. I am very happy with this service - highly recommended. read more

Amazing service providers. The three men that showed up with a full size truck went above and beyond to pack the truck as carefully and also as fully as possible. I even gave an inadequate amount of the quantity of items that needed to be moved. So although we had to rent another truck ourselves, the three men still packed that entire truck. I was quoted an amount of about $1500 for a move that was an hour away and from a third floor condo with no elevator to a home. I contacted the owner of the business to see what the additional charge would be as the three men did basically twice the work in my mind and there was only a $300 increase in the price! Absolutely amazing company to work with, and everyone that we worked with gave their all to make it the most convenient and efficient move for us! I told my realtor that if anyone ever inquired about a moving company to use patriot moving, and she said that she remembered the name because others had also turned the same thing !! read more

Patriot Moving Co was a lifesaver. I found out I was moving with only a few days notice (long story!) and needed a service to not only move me but pack me as well. Because what maximalist would be able to pack up their whole apartment in 2 days? Not this one, that's for sure. Their estimate was less than the actual cost ended up being, but they were a nice team overall and I could tell how hard they worked, so I didn't mind. I appreciated how responsive the owner was and how nice all of the people helping during my packing and my move were. I will admit, as someone who has moved too many times, I will admit I have seen movers who may be a bit quicker, but I also know my move wasn't easy. Overall they were available on short notice, had a wonderful team of hardworking people, and were transparent with their pricing at the end of the day. I couldn't have completed my move without them! read more

Did a professional job and price they quoted was accurate. They took great care of packing and unpacking. I would highly recommend this business. Owner kept in touch throughout the entire process. Very pleased with this business read more

Great movers! On time, reliable. Really happy with their service. Thank you for your hard work.

Piano move was flawless! The piano itself was well protected and wrapped professionally. Calling specialized piano movers is a costly for the most part ($500-$800; depending on distance). However, Patriot Movers were able to surpass all my budget needs and was extra responsive when following up, confirming the logistics, providing real-time updates and was easy to work with. I will definitely keep them on the top of my list of movers, if I have a need in Chicagoland again. Highly recommended! read more

Moved to TN from IL. Patriot Moving was super helpful. The estimate was done quickly. The price was very good. The service for packing some irregular shape items , loading, transporting, unloading, assembling back the furniture, and communicating throughout the moving was beyond the expectation. Highly trusted team. The moving was stress free. All furniture was handled with good care. I recommend Patriot Moving to all my friends and families. Thank you! read more

We moved from Chicago to Austin, and we hired Patriot movers. They came in at a great price, the communication before they arrived to pack us was perfect, and seven guys showed up and knocked out our very large house in about 6 hours. All were very friendly and tolerated our dogs following them around. Two days later, they arrived with all of our stuff and were able to unload the trucks faster than when they loaded them! Nothing was damaged, they were very careful in both our old and new houses not to bump walls, overall great experience. Highly recommend! read more

I have moved 8 times in 9 years and working with Patriot was by far my best move. They were very responsive and true to their word. Highly recommend!!! read more

On time, fast, very reasonable price. Professional and gentle with furniture. Would 10/10 recommend

I asked for a quote *yesterday.* 2 friendly gentlemen were here *today,* 7:56am, cold Chicago morning. 4 minutes early. Approx 2 and a Half hours later, I had a few pieces of furniture and a TON of boxes containing heavy books, and paper moved to my storage locker. They disassembled my table and wrapped my gram's rocking chair with care. I have issues with mobility and with my back. These guys literally did me one of the greatest favors I could have asked for. Ill be using them again soon when I move my stuff from my storage locker to my home! HIGHLY recommended. Thanks again, guys!!! read more

I loved this company! They were extremely responsive during the estimate and booking process as well as the move. Everything arrived as expected and nothing was broken. All staff were friendly and professional. We had to move again within 6 months and they even helped to try to find us a good quote from another moving company who works in the area we were moving to. Highly recommended! And a great value too! read more

Best experience ever! They arrived on time, wrapped all the nice furniture on plastic, had the proper tools to dismount tv, and dissembled some furniture. I hate moving, but they make it nice and smooth. Wish I had taken some pics to help them get more customers. Such a great value. You can trust them with your valuable stuff in a way that I would let them move my entire home without me being present. Recommend! read more

Thank you for making this a positive and affordable moving experience. The guys arrived on time, loaded and unloaded the items quickly even though I was on the third floor. Will definitely refer and use again if needed. read more

Good service ! Fair and quick!! Great work , they were patient and helpful , they really did so great , very happy with their work!

I used patriot moving in 2022 to move my apartment. Their price was very competitive, they were early, and they were fast and professional. In fact, I was so spoiled by this move with them that I've moved 3 more times since (unfortunately out of state so I could not hire them again) and all other moving services have fallen extremely short in comparison. Patriot moving spoiled me. I'm extremely resentful and borderline angry that I've not been able to use them again. Don't even think for two more seconds. If you're considering them, just do yourself a favor and book with them!!! read more

Nothing but good things to say about this company. Our movers were on time, efficient, and very easy to work with. We moved from a storage unit to an apartment in the city with no elevator and it was a breeze for them. It only took a few hours and was a much better value than what some of the other companies that quoted us. read more

Patriot Moving - Patriot moving, inc. moving items from a storage unit. - Movers Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I've had movers before, so I know how long it should take to move my pre-boxed up and ready to go 2br apartment. Since it's a local move, it was priced as hourly. My previous move from NY to Chicago was a set price and took about 1 1/2 hours tops to move the stuff out. Patriot Movers took ~3hrs to move my stuff out and loaded onto the truck. I can tell by the way they loaded the truck, it wasn't efficient at all. They would move a small amount of pieces down the elevator to the truck out back and come back 20 min later and repeat. NY movers would load the entire elevator and stack everything next to it so they could quickly load/unload. Also, Patriot wrapped furniture with saran Wrap and not moving blankets and tape which adds precious time. It also doesn't protect the furniture in transit. My entertainment cabinet arrived dinged up with the left side broken on top and bottom of the wood. A moving blanket may have prevented this. The entire move took 6 hours which is incredibly long considering they only had to disassemble a bed along with its headboard with a 45 min travel time to destination. The rest was moving boxes and an other items that didn't require disassembling. I didn't even have a couch! I will give them that it was very hot outside. The movers were all very nice and respectful. They even had a third guy along with them even tho I paid for 2 since the move after needed 3 movers. I can't imagine how long it'd have taken them if it were 2. Can't necessarily recommend these guys and I hate to leave a mediocre review but it's honest and I hope Patriot Movers can do better for the next customers. read more

I've used their services twice and both times they were extremely professional and diligent! They gave me a very competitive rate and kept all my belongings in one piece. Would highly recommend. read more

On time, fairly priced, and really care about your stuff. They took half the time and half the price than Two Men and a Truck, and didn't damage my stuff. Will definitely use them again. read more

Just completed a move with patriot today. They were awesome. Mac kept in touch with me and supplied all the certificates and licenses. He checked in the day prior to the move to reconfirm the start time. The crew was professional and very considerate of our possessions in addition to making sure they did no damage to the home. I definitely would use them again. Thanks guys! read more

Absolute worse! I booked them for packing and moving. They are thieves that will give you one quote (even visit your place before to get a proper quote) and charge you almost double the day of moving! Was quoted 650 for the move and then was charged over 1,000 the day of! They break your things and when you email them to let them know they come up with a million excuses! Even to go as far and say they dont believe you! Not reliable at all!!! BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY! read more

Great movers! On time, very quick and responsive, and very professional. Even put together my bed frame in record time. Thank you!

The crew that we had were absolutely amazing! They were kind and polite and very considerate. We can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to have these guys move us!! We would totally recommend this company to help with your move!! Ted and Traci read more

I HIGHLY recommend Patriot! Matt & his crew made my moving experience completely stress free. They were quick, yet careful, & I didn't have to guide them through any of it. They knew exactly how to pack & wrap everything, with pride & perfection, in way less time than I had expected. If you're looking for a safe, neat, & comfortable transition, these movers go above & beyond expectations, and are very reasonably priced! read more

I highly recommend this moving company. They are punctual, organized, friendly and PROFESSIONAL! No damage on my furnitures, boxes or anywhere. They handled and lifted heavy items with care. And the price was very reasonable! I would use them again in the future! read more

Patriot Moving team was fantastic! Maciej arrived prior to the scheduled time frame to get the move going. My entire experience from my first initial request was great. Amazing communication from start to finish. The move took 3 hours and it was well worth every dollar. Thank you, Maciej. Will definitely be using your services in the future. read more

The crew was hard-working and very kind. They were flexible and knowledgable about our move- we really appreciated their help and would recommend them highly! read more

I've used Patriot Moving twice now and both times had an excellent experience. Most recently, they moved my stuff during the dead of winter and it the customer service was more than expected. It's the little things like helping open a stuck window. It's not part of their normal business but they helped anyway. Their prices are affordable and I would use them a third time if I have to move again. read more

Go elsewhere if you want a professional company. I suspect most of the reviews are phony except the low reviews as they definitely reflected my experience with these clowns. Glad I had a backup plan expecting the run around and they sure didn't disappoint! Anyway, the guy running the show over there Matt gave me the constant runaround after quoting me a price and pickup date. Fortunately I was able to find one of the few professional companies for the same rate. Matt if you can't find your 'boys' or you are looking to find the biggest fish for the day be a professional and make that clear. Ghosting people seriously? Time to grow up. Word of mouth travels. I'm definitely tell my friends to avoid these jokers. read more

Very last minute, relatively small move and I found Patriot to be the best value and outstanding crew that got everything done within 2 hours. Could not have gone smoother. Thank you Patriot Moving! read more

Patriot Moving - Finished move in storage unit. - Movers Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I'm furious at 2 Men and a truck! I have been communicating with them for several weeks about my move scheduled for Wednesday December 22. Today they told me I never communicated with them to schedule my move and their next availability is next year!!! However, I found Patriot Movers thru Yelp and Matthew replied immediately and the move will be done Thursday early afternoon and their base price is very affordable as is their hourly rate. It was meant to be!! Divine Intervention. read more

The Patriot moving team is top notch! They came highly recommended from neighbors in our local Facebook group and we chose them over other local companies because of the great rate and ability to accommodate our moving date. We received confirmation of our scheduled move the day before and the team arrived right on time the morning of the move. After a quick walk through and assessment of the furnishings, Maciej and his crew went right to work without any need for direction. Everything fit perfectly in the truck and was handled and arranged with care. At the new house, everything was unloaded quickly and the tram offered to assemble any tables, beds or other pieces that were taken apart for the move. Very professional, affordable and reliable! 10/10 recommend. read more

I understand moving is stressful, plus having a moving company come and move your stuff. Well I definitely recommend trying patriots moving! I just move to the area and trying to coordinate a move in a different state was super easy thanks to these guys! They communicate effectively and are very quick with your move, while Making sure they take care of your household things. Price wise, you can't beat it compared to other big company movers who ask for double the price. read more

We had an excellent experience with this moving company. The movers were efficient, polite and careful with our belongings. Their pricing was fair and we would definitely use them again in the future. read more

I have nothing but praise for Maciej and Patriot Moving. Any review that is below 5 stars deserves extra scrutiny because I have used Maciej and his Patriot Movers not once but twice and each and every time, they have demonstrated professionalism and extremely quick out of box thinking. Perfect example: I purchased a tv moving box from home depot, but when moving the tv, one of the screws was stripped and we couldn't remove the base mount. Within minutes, they had reconfigured the box to accommodate the base and wrapped it and continued, business as usual. Didn't even faze them. When I was moving cross state and loading into a uPack, they were able to squeeze all of our stuff into a single cube despite us preparing to reserve two because of the sheer volume of our goods. Just seeing them play tetris with our furniture and utilizing every square inch of our upack gave us the utmost confidence in them and their moving abilities. They were gentle with all of our things, timely, and went above and beyond to make my moving experience as easy as possible, not once, but twice. If you are moving and need an extra hand, please make your life easier and use Patriot Moving. You won't regret it. 6/5, thank you Maciej, and thank you Patriot Movers! read more
