Movers by state
NYC to Chicago
From any New York City address to anywhere in Chicagoland.
The drive west on I-80 takes about a day. Whether you are leaving a Manhattan high-rise or a Brooklyn walk-up, and whether you are heading for the Loop or a house in the suburbs, one crew and one truck do the whole move.
Anywhere in New York City
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Walk-ups, doorman buildings and co-ops with service-elevator bookings and insurance certificates, all handled before moving day.
Chicago and the suburbs
The Loop, River North, the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and Wicker Park, out to Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville and the North Shore. Tell us the building rules and we plan the unload around them.
A building-to-building move
- Elevators booked at both endsChicago towers reserve freight elevators and loading docks by the hour, much like New York City. We book the time in both cities so the crew is never waiting in the lobby.
- Insurance certificates handledMost managed buildings in the Loop and River North ask for a certificate of insurance before moving day. Send us their sample and we arrange it.
- Ready for a Chicago winterSnow and cold do not stop a move, but they change it. We protect floors and furniture from slush, and plan the unload around daylight and the weather.
- Room at the curbStreet moves in Chicago can need a temporary parking permit from the city. Tell us your new address early and we help you arrange the space.
Heading somewhere else? We also move New York City homes to Texas, California, Boston, Florida and the Carolinas and Georgia, and to every other state from our NYC long distance movers page.

How long does a move from NYC to Chicago take?
The drive itself is about a day. Most moves are delivered within a few days of pickup, depending on the size of the load and the building schedules, and your delivery window is written into your contract.
Do Chicago buildings have move-in rules like New York City?
Many do. Towers in the Loop, River North and the Gold Coast reserve freight elevators and loading docks, ask for a certificate of insurance and set move-in hours. Send us the building rules and we plan the delivery around them.
Do I need a parking permit for the moving truck in Chicago?
Often, yes, for moves from the street. The city issues temporary signs that reserve curb space for a moving truck, and they have to be requested in advance. We tell you what to apply for and when.
Can you move me to the Chicago suburbs?
Yes. We deliver across Chicagoland, including Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Schaumburg and the North Shore, and to other cities in Illinois and the Midwest.
Is winter a bad time to move to Chicago?
It can be a good one. Winter is quieter, so dates are easier to get. We wrap everything against snow and slush, protect the floors in both homes and watch the forecast before the truck leaves New York City.
Can you store my things if my Chicago lease starts later?
Yes. If your move-out and move-in dates do not match, we hold your shipment in climate-controlled storage and deliver when your new place is ready. It stays inventoried and insured the whole time.
