About us

**PLEASE CLICK OUR SHOP BUTTON!!** ALL OF OUR DEALS ARE ALL INCLUSIVE WITH SHRINK WRAP, TAPE AND WARDROBE SERVICE!! When we started out, we wanted to streamline the moving process for clients in the Chicagoland area. We felt that the current local industry was inundated with way too many fees and charges and that customers came away feeling like they were being "nickel and dimed" for everything. What we found was that by building everything into a full service, simple quote system, with no additional fees, customers overwhelmingly responded with an unanimous thumbs up. Simple and stress free, easy to understand and easily meeting expectations. This has become our thumbprint. You will LOVE the way we move!

This was the smoothest move of my life! Efficient, friendly and professional movers. They all had great attitudes and were smooth and calm facing some minor loading dock issues with my building. Worked deftly and completed the job well under schedule. Also, very clean, wore masks and washed their hands several times. Marc V, Jay and Floyd made moving day a breeze!

While the movers were extremely friendly and professional, But the supervisor was not. My walls and furniture were damaged. When it was addressed, he pretty much told me sorry, tough luck. There was a slash cut into my upholstery and several damages and dings on my walls. The upside is that the 3 guys were lovely, they moved quickly, and none of my fine bone China was damaged.

Super job! The owner, Sean, was very accommodating and helpful. Lou, the dispatcher was very flexible in helping to streamline the process. The men that performed the actual move were extremely careful and worked hard to stay within the timeframe promised. I highly recommend Blankenship. Thanks for making the stressful process of moving a little easier!

This moving company stole over $700 worth of valuables and medicine from myself and my dad. My family has just made our move to a new home in the suburbs and hired this company based off of their high ratings. After moving and looking through our valuables my dad noticed all of his medicine was missing. He shattered every bone in his foot and cannot complete regular day to day activities without the medication prescribed by his neurologist, which was stolen. After traveling to my new home, I realized that they stole valuables from my closet as well. We called the owner of the company to ask for help and he explicitly told us to “call the cops if that would help” he had no care for our situation or the discomfort of being robbed from our own home. They were also extremely unprofessional. I was working from home because of COVID-19 and they were swearing, listening to loud music, and being extremely loud despite being told I was in a room working. The workers were each tipped individually and shown the utmost respect by my entire family, making this even more disappointing. This was an extremely unpleasant experience from start to finish and I hope to save other people the time and discomfort of what we went through.

Arranging the move was easy, and we were able to schedule it for within a few days. The movers were on-time and were a nice as could be - they conducted themselves as if it were their own business. They had everything move quickly. The only snag was an error in the time on the other end that the receiver of the furniture didn't catch. However, the owner worked with us to correct the issue. I would definitely hire again.

[Member Name Removed], I apologize for not being able to do this type of job for you, your request for a quote should not have came to me, it is out of my service area and it is going out of state. It is also not household goods move, so I apologize for this and I told Angie's List about this and they working to fix the problem. This type of job is out of my service are and not really for a moving company, so I apologize again and Angie's List is going to give me a credit for this.

Outstanding... great experience from the quote to the actual move. If you want a great team I would request Chris I, Angel R, and Jose F. With movers you always worry about them coming in and dragging their feet, and driving up costs. That was not the case with this team! They came in and quickly wrapped, packed, and loaded ... no messing around. Great value for the move!

I cannot say enough about this moving company! I have used them twice, both moves involved picking up from two locations and unloading at a third. Sean gave me an estimate and explained very thoroughly how he arrived at it, and the final price reflected his estimate. The movers showed up on time, even a little early, and moved very quickly and efficiently. Not only that, but they were so friendly and kept up cheerful conversation throughout the stress of moving-special shout-out to Darrell for the emotional support during a difficult time. Would ABSOLUTELY hire again, and recommend to anyone planning a move!

The team of 3 movers arrived promptly at 9am. They wrapped and protected all furniture and belongings. The quote given was exactly the cost even though they had to walk and carry furniture and belongings quite a distance at new apartment. Would definitely use them again or recommend them to others.

Sean was very thorough in describing the moving process and estimating the size of the truck needed and the number or movers needed. Based on the information I gave him he estimated it would take a total of 7 hours and his quote was based on that. He explained how the fees are calculated and indicated the cost would be based on the actual time the move would take. As it happened the move took exactly seven hours. The movers were punctual. The manager and I did a walk-through to identify the items to be moved. I was concerned that my Tempurpedic Mattress and powerbase frame was moved properly and that the furniture was properly wrapped and protected. The move was seamless. The movers worked the entire time. I didn’t even see them stop for a break. They were very careful in the way they protected the furniture and in how they carried it. I’ve seen other moving companies leave things unattended on the lawn but this company didn’t do that. Everything they carried out of the house went right into the truck. When I arrived at the new home they were already there working. When they were finished the manager explained the charges and I wrote a check. It went much more smoothly than I had anticipated. Later I noticed that the dresser mirror was attached to the dresser incorrectly. I contacted the owner who indicated he would send someone out to fix it. I know a lot can go wrong during a move and I was dreading it but Sean and his crew made it a smooth experience.
Description of Work: I needed movers to move furniture & boxes from 2nd & 3rd floors to new home about 35 miles away. Sean responded to my inquiry promptly (and on a Sunday) and I was given a quote based on the estimated number of boxes and specific items of furniture. I paid a $100 down payment my credit card to reserve the move date. A dispatcher called a day before the move to give me an estimated arrival time.

If I could give an A++ for rating I would. Booking 2 movers with the owner was so easy. He was very patient and kind with me. I requested the day before our move, if movers could possibly show up 30 minutes earlier. Dispatcher called me back in less than an hour and they were able to accommodate me. Move went so smooth and the movers were EXCELLENT! I will definitely use again.

I highly recommend Carl and Pablo! They traveled a great distance and many miles without one single complaint. Their professionalism and sense of humor helped alleviate the stress of moving. They were extremely careful with everything, and to my amazement they even managed to keep my broken couch in one piece even after getting it down a flight of stairs to the basement!! I had 2 pieces of furniture that were very sentimental to me and they took extra measures to be sure they were wrapped and packed safely. Thank you guys...from the bottom of my heart! I will definitely recommend them for my brother’s move soon!
