17/10. i wanted to support a small business rather than use a chain company, and i'm so glad i found Roy! The process was SMOOTH, everything he said he would do (email by X time, call by X time etc) he did, and they were Crazy Efficient. Plus, everything got from point A to B without a scratch. The entire time was friendly/casual/courteous and willing to help with anything i asked. Would recommend in a HEARTBEAT. read more

I used Roy's company this past weekend to move from Chicago to MA. I had previously used them for an in building move. From my first chat with Roy to saying bye to him in MA this move was a breeze. Roy took the time to explain all my options, including not using his service. After talking I decided to use his team because of his reasonable price and my confidence in him. He made himself available to me by text prior to the move and assured me all my anxieties were unfounded. On move day he and his team loaded my things quickly and carefully. He even confirmed which boxes were fragile. After he left I flew to MA and the next day around noon they arrived to unload my things. Everything, including my white (!!!) couch, was in perfect condition. A one day turn around for a long distance move is unheard of. Their service was above and beyond. I am appreciative of their kindness and courtesy. Roy and his team weren't just professional they were personal. They truly care about their clients. I am grateful for them making a stressful and emotional relocation as easy as possible. Using Roy and his team for this move was the best choice. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for movers short/long distance. read more

Had a wonderful experience with this team. The moved quickly and didn't cause any damage.

Let me tell you about response, service and execution. I called Roy's at 10:45am on 3/16/2020 and said I needed to move the next day. Roy said he would be there at 10am. At 9:59am; Roy calls and said we're outside the building in the alley. The team was up and down in less than an hour and off to my new location. We got to the new location and I recall Roy asking me the day prior about special circumstances with the building, of course I said no. But reality being what it is, they had to unload their truck, use one elevator and then transition to another elevator just to get my apartment.... on the 3rd floor. No complaints from Roy or his team, they just pushed on through. Did I mention that they had to wait for me for 30 minutes as there was a problem with the cashier's check... again, no complaints from Roy. Roy and his team did a great job, absolutely no issues; except for me not getting my part done. They unloaded, set up the furniture and cleaned up and were out. Thanks Roy, you guys are awesome! Fast, efficient, cost effective and dependable! read more

Based on the previous reviews, called. My quote was not a fixed price was made flexible when I said comparing with other companies. I had items in storage ( half of a one bedroom)... I had questions the day before the move. I wish the I would have known in advance the owner Roy was not " hard up for my little $ 50.00 extra charge..." In actuality, the additional charge was " $100." I gave three stars because the crew was AMAZING!!! I am here on a one year assignment and moving again next summer. I will NOT contact ROY's moving due to the owner's lack of professionalism and respect. As a customer spending my money, if my questions , comments, and concerns bother you then we should go our separate ways. Pretending to meet other quotes then saying oh, the other companies are going to upcharge you with extra fees.... that is exactly what he did. I guess professional customer service is only for a select group. CREW - Angel and his team were the best part. read more

This past weekend was the second time I used Roy and his team in the past 4 years for a move and I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone. Roy was extremely responsive and communicated clear expectations. His team was respectful and courteous and my whole 3 bedroom condo was secured, wrapped, and put into my storage unit all in about 1 hour on a Sunday morning. read more

We have moved many times. Roy's Moving is outstanding. The movers arrived on time. They were fast, efficient and careful with the packing, moving and unpacking. Excellent price for our move. We have used Roy's Moving twice and will use them again. 5 Stars plus. read more

Roy and his team was AMAZING. I have already recommended him to family members for future moves! Seriously, don't go with those other big name movers. trust me!! I spoke to all, and I mean ALL the major moving names in Chicago. We went with a mover only be canceled on a week prior to our move! Roy came to our rescue, and boy did he ever! From the moment we spoke to on the phone to the moment they drove away, it was a professional, positive, and reassuring experience. We had a massive move and Roy came to our home to check out how much we would likely have to move. Quoted us a FIRM price, no flexible or hidden fees, and on the day of the move he, himself was the on the team with 5 other guys. I have never see a move more proficient and professional set up/ (I have moved plenty!) He had his guys stationed in an assembly line, so no wasted time up and down stairs, he went back and forth between the truck and the apartment and watched his guys like a hawk! One of his movers joked and said that Roy could be a Drill Sargent, and he's right, but don't take that in a negative way, he did everything with a hint of joke or chuckle while being serious. The guy was great! His team was great! We are so so impressed. We don't plan on moving any time soon but you better believe we will be booking him and his team again someday in the future. Thank you Roy and Team! Excellent work! read more

I can't say enough good things about Roy and his crew at Roy's Moving. They are true professionals: your items are wrapped carefully and thoroughly. They work very quickly but concern for your belongings is not sacrificed. Communication is always a priority: they mention any current problems they find as they wrap and Roy contacted me almost daily during the process. Our move was from a 4 story Chicago townhouse to both a Chicago condo and to storage in another state. This is not our first rodeo (local, cross country and international) so I feel qualified to evaluate movers. We have an upcoming move next year and we will definitely arrange it with Roy! read more

Roy and his movers did my move in December 2021. They were so good I promised him I would give a review on Yelp. Roy worked with me for a fair price. All I have to say is make sure you have your stuff all boxed and ready to go because they were not coming to play. If I didn't know they were movers, I would have thought it was a professional robbery. They moved my whole apartment in about 1 1/2 hours. They placed everything where I asked them to in the new apartment and they did not break anything. The next time I move, I will be calling them again. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but I truly feel like Roy's deserves one from me, so here I go! Roy's was recommended to me by a friend during my first move within Chicago back in 2014 - since then, I have used Roy's for all 4 of my moves (including one for a move within the same building). I've had the same movers every single time, and they're absolutely amazing - quick & efficient, yet very careful. During this past move of mine, Roy also worked with me through a few different snags (on my end), making it a truly stress-free and wonderful experience. I honestly don't have enough nice things to say about Roy's and will continue to use them for all of my future moves. read more

Roy and his crew are amazing! My move required a lot of manpower and multiple days of assistance, and they were so accommodating, puntual, and helpful. They also took great care of my furniture and living space. I have never had such a smooth and efficient moving experience - I am thankful I found Roy's Moving. I will continue to recommend them to everyone! They have a customer for life. read more

How is it off I take off the bill of my items it's still the same price originally quoted? Tried to get clarity and you were rude!

Roy and his team were all around incredible. They helped us move from Chicago to Michigan with absolutely no hiccups AND for a fair price. I wouldn't hesitate to call Roy again for a move; he promised white-glove service and delivered on it. read more

Roy's team, Angel & Jaime, showed up on time (actually early!), they were friendly, and did the move very quickly! Not only were they friendly, so was Roy! He scheduled me with only a days notice and was super responsive to my calls/emails. I would highly recommend Roys Moving! read more

Reached out about moving services on here and their website and no one ever reached out or responded to me.

This is a super late post but Roy and his team were amazing! I lived on the 3rd floor and had a difficult and heavy bed and dresser set but they were so quick and efficient. I recommended them to a friend and she enjoyed the service as well! They will probably be my only call for moving now read more

Roy and his team were great to work with. I reached out to Roy and he was very upbeat and personable during our conversation. Many companies would give online quotes or quotes over the phone, but he insisted on coming all the way out to Orland Park to assess our place and give us the most accurate quote possible. We were moving from a 5 bedroom house in the burbs to a three bedroom townhouse (3 stories) in the city, with an additional stop at my moms to drop off some furniture. His price came in a lot more reasonable than the other places, we had absolutely no damage to our belongings, and the guys were incredibly nice and hardworking. If and when we move again, we'll definitely be calling Roy!! Thank you!! read more

I've never ever bothered to write a yelp review but Roy and his team were so great I had to write my first. My roommate and I have both gone through several moves in the city and knew we weren't even going to try and do it on our own this time. We asked for recommendations from friends and got a lot of feedback but Roy's was by far the best option. Other movers we had called were way more expensive and didn't include nearly as much as Roy offered. While other movers charged by the hour, or didn't take care of the wrapping of furniture, or disassembly/reassembly, Roy included it all and charged a flat rate based on the amount of furniture and boxes that needed to be moved. He was so helpful and friendly on the phone, we knew we had made the right choice just by talking to him. This move was the easiest I've ever had and his team was very organized, quick but careful, and friendly. It was a bummer that our couch couldn't fit through our narrow stairwells which was nobody's fault, but the team tried so hard and did literally all they could to make it work. They even offered to take it to storage or to a reseller free of charge. Save yourself the trouble and hire these guys. It's money well spent and will save you all the headaches moving usually causes. read more

I have a self storage unit to vacate. Roy was very friendly and scheduled the move at a very convenient time for me. The movers were very professional, they work quickly and very well. The price was very competitive too. read more

Roy and his team moved my family from one house to another in less than one day. We were a little concerned because we had to be out of the first house in the morning. Well, I feel ridiculous that I worried. Roy and his crew arrived early in the morning and got started immediately. At our closing in between the moves, my wife couldn't stop exclaiming about how efficient, professional, and hard-working they were. Everything was moved out with care and well-protected in the truck. The took note of where everything was so they could place it in a similar room in the new house. Roy stopped by a couple of weeks before and gave us an estimate, which ended up being exactly what he charged afterward. Now here's where they really showed how extraordinary they are...we had to close on the new house in order to move in, but it took longer than we expected. Roy and team were extremely kind by waiting over 2 hours until we could give them the okay. Do I recommend you do the same thing to Roy. No! That was not cool of us. But it shows how Roy's Moving is the first and only company to call when you move. read more

10 stars! I found Roy on Yelp and called with only about 4 days notice on one of the busiest moving days of the year, yet Roy was able to squeeze me in first thing on the morning of my move. Roy and his crew were on time and loaded up my studio in record time with no casualties. They helped me take apart my bed then put it back together at my new place which was a huge bonus for myself. I would highly recommended them to anyone looking to move long or short distance, as i know I will certainly be using them again in the future. Thank you guys! read more

I've had Roy and his crew do my moves 3 times since I've moved to Chicago. Always quick, efficient, and fairly priced. They have never broken one thing or damaged any walls or parts of the buildings. Very professional, these guys know how to move and do it right. By far the best service and price. I recommend them to everyone. read more

If your looking for a competitive mover who offers caring service call Roy. He offered me a quote on the spot over the phone, he allowed me time to finalize plans from my end and was very polite and easy to deal with the whole time. They put in extra effort to solve problems and cared about getting the job done right, and with no damage to items. If you want something moved in Chicago just call Roy and you'll be taken care of. read more

From beginning to the end Roy and his team did not disappoint! I made a last minute reservation, and Roy went above and beyond to be extremely flexible + accommodating. Moving from the Midwest to the West Coast has been extremely stressful--all I kept thinking about is how my furniture could possibly end up broken in transit...well, thanks to Roy and his incredible teammate, all 9 of my items that were shipped via airline cargo made it safely without even a scratch. For the price and professionalism, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Roy's company! read more

I reached out to Roy while gathering quotes to move my boss into her new condo in Florida. The month prior, we booked a particularly gruesome long-distance move for her son, and we were both completely terrified to select another company to move her from Chicago to Florida. I could tell early on that Roy's company was quite different than other moving companies. He responded to emails quickly and professionally. He arrived early to all appointments. He sent reminders, quotes, and receipts quickly. When we required additional insurance for some expensive items, he worked diligently with his insurance office to make it happen. We will never use another moving company again. Here's why: 1. Roy's Moving 1 is just small enough to care. This is Roy's company. You will work directly with Roy. You'll have his cell phone number. He will promptly return your calls, texts, and emails. He'll provide you with updates on their progress, and you can call him with questions as needed. 2. They do not hire out random day laborers like other companies do. Roy works with the same group of people on all his moves. And they are all AMAZING, careful, and polite. 3. They treat your belongings and your home respectfully. We had several incredibly heavy, fragile, expensive statues to move, and they couldn't have been more careful. The move ended with no damage to any property, floors, or walls. 4. The cost is extremely reasonable for the quality of service. Peace of mind is priceless. My boss and I were both very skeptical of ALL moving companies. Roy arranged to sit down with us for an hour to do an "interview" of sorts to put us at ease. Following the move, she couldn't be happier. She plans to hire Roy to move her daughter to school, and her in-laws into their new home. She thanked me for finding Roy, and said, "It felt like I had family moving my stuff for me." Believe the reviews, people! Roy's Moving 1 is truly the only moving company you'll ever want to use. read more

This past weekend was my second year in a row using Roy's Moving 1 and they were amazing both times! They're on time and call to let you know they're arriving. I loved how quickly they took apart my bed and put it back together again. My new apartment had a really narrow staircase and elevator so I was nervous about everything fitting but they got everything in with no problem. The movers were all been super friendly and helpful! Roy is great with setting everything up and answering all of my questions. I 100% would recommend these guys anytime! read more

I can't say enough good things about Roy's Moving 1. I work for a local Chicagoland non-profit and we often have large scale collection drives that involve many moving parts. No matter how stressed I get while planning the collections, I always know that transportation will run smoothly thanks to Roy! I am so thankful to have found him and to have his help with these events. He is always more than professional and so willing to go the extra mile. I look forward to continuing to work with him! read more

Roy and his team did a wonderful job with my move this last weekend. I booked the move last minute (procrastination!) & was lucky enough that he could fit me in. Roy & the other men were so nice & professional. All of my items were wrapped & protected & arrived safely to their destination. I know I've already said how professional they were, but I can't stress it enough. This is how you would like movers to be. They were fast, helpful, & friendly. Also, Roy is a great communicator & stayed in touch with me via text & calls since he was fitting me in between jobs. Moving is challenging- they made it so much less stressful & I'm so glad that I called them. Thanks to Roy & the guys! read more

Worked with Roy in a move this past weekend and I was very impressed. The crew went above and beyond to help us out and were very professional. I was very nervous about this move but everything turned out great. I would definitely recommend Roy's Moving 1 to anyone looking for some great movers. read more

I loved speaking with the owner but the actual movers knocked up the doors pretty good...

Roy and his crew are great! I called, he answered and came over to survey the situation. He is very personable and professional and made me feel at ease about moving which can be a bit stressful. He stopped by the next day, during August busy season, to pack my truck. He also drove the box truck in and out of my gated Chicago driveway off the alley which was no small feat. They took great care of my things and worked magic to fit everything into a 20' truck that should have been 26', but the reservation got screwed. I will ask Roy for help when I move back into the area. Completely recommend Roy's moving. read more

Roy recently handled my intracity move and helped to deliver a Craigslist couch, each on separate occasions. He and his guys did a great job on my move, worked quickly, and were super friendly. Where I was quoted 4 or 5 hours by other moving companies, this crew got it done in 3 hours flat, and still charged me less than what the other places were quoting me. When he delivered my couch, I called on short notice, and he went to pick it up while I went home to get the space ready. The pickup instructions were a little complicated, but the guys ran into no issues and got the job done quickly and professionally. Cost me about $100, because I was a repeat customer, which isn't bad considering I would have had to rent a truck and find at least one or two guys to come help me anyways. His truck wouldn't start when they were trying to leave, and he was so nice that I agreed to drive him to the auto parts store to get some jumper cables. The jump didn't end up solving the problem, but I hope they got it figured out... From what I gather, Roy's handles all sorts of jobs, from furniture delivery, to apartment moves, to offices. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again first if I needed anything taken from one place to another that I couldn't handle myself. read more

My boyfriend and I couldn't be happier with our experience!! We moved across the country (from Chicago to California) and had heard so many horror stories, so we we were really picky about the person we used. Roy came out and gave us a custom quote because we had rare vehicle we wanted to ship and immediately we knew he was the man for the job. The customer service and efficiency of him and his men are incredible. We had a quick turn around and our household items were in great condition. I cannot recommend this company enough! If I could give 10 stars I would! Roy, you are the man! read more

Awesome to work with. Was able to book a move with only 1 weeks notice. Movers were on time, fast, and professional. Def recommend and will use them for my next move. read more

A coworker referred Roy's Moving 1 to me. I had a quick turnaround time for our move and Roy walked me through the process, room by room, to help me account for what I needed to move and to give an accurate and competitive estimate. Roy and his crew were responsive, transparent and when it came to our moving day, professional and on time. It was the best part of a hectic buying process. read more

Roy did a great job for our move to the suburbs. He was responsive from the very beginning in providing an estimate and follow-up confirmations of the move. He had a great attitude and was a pleasure to talk with. The actual move went perfectly. This was a huge job (3 bedroom home) and his crew took care of everything from start to finish. I would recommend them to my friends or family. read more

Service with a smile! Roy's Moving 1 makes your move simple, seamless and painless. The crew is friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend you do you next move with them! read more

Roy from Roy's moving just helped me with a competitive quote on moving my stuff from Chicago to Downers Grove. He was even available on short notice. Roy's a friendly guy and he carries insurance and has all the right moving equipment and staff. I would definitely recommend this guy to anyone looking for a mover in Chicago. Thanks again Roy! read more

Roy and his people are in my new place KILLIN' IT! So friendly and professional! They were a great choice! read more
