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!

I called John and he was very professional and helpful. In fact, he rearranged their moving schedule around so that he could have it done for her. He switched a previously scheduled move to 10:30 a.m. and had a crew begin our move at 7 a.m. The crew, headed by Shawn, showed up at 6:55 a.m. and they were great. They handled everything with care and were very thorough in ensuring that everything was packed accordingly. When they got to the new place, and we found out that we couldn't enter until 9 a.m.,; they unloaded everything and had it set to be brought in right at 9a.m. They were extremely professional and helpful. I will be using them in the future. Side note: The building manager of the new building was so impressed by how they handled things, and making sure they didn't damaged things or be careless - she told them that she was having their company be on their referral list.
Description of Work: They moved my daughter's apartment contents from one apartment to another. It was a rushed job because she found out she got the new apartment 10 days earlier.

I had been searching for movers and thought I'd found one I would use until I dug deeper into reviews and found a multitude of complaints. Most were for locations in other states but a few were in my area. While going through those reviews, Blankenship Movers kept coming up as a reputable firm. I called them and was amazed at the process. John was very helpful and upfront about all charges. The movers arrived exactly when promised. I was moving in the same large subdivision but at the opposite end (6-7 min). They had me emptied out of my old place and into my new one in under two hours. They did absolutely no damage to my personal property or the walls, doors, etc. at either location. I was impressed with their teamwork and organization. I would use them again and have already recommended them to two other people; one of which is moving soon. You can't go wrong with this company. They've more than earned their A+ rating with the BBB.

Overall this was the most amazing move I have ever seen....truly professional.
Description of Work: Blankenship movers came out on the fourth of July, 104 degrees and provided the most excellent service of any company I have ever dealt with. They moved a large Italian modern bedroom set that had a china cabinet as part of the suite. Each item was methodically wrapped and carried to the truck from the second floor down the front stairs and out to the truck with seamless effort. Each piece was heavy and at the same time very fragil finish....including glass tops for the dressers. The attached video show the china cabinet being loaded into the truck. They followed the recommended route and arrived and delivered with the same efficient manner. Truly awesome.

Overall is went great! The crew performed better than expected.
Description of Work: The work was great from the time of the estimate all the way thru the end of the move. Their thoroughness and attention to detail is awesome! John gave use specific instructions to follow as far as packing and labeling. His instructions made the move flawless. When Louie's crew arrived, they started right away and did not waste a minute. They were careful, polite, entertaining and pleasant. My old landlord got their information so he can recommend them to his tenants. They were very close to the estimated time frame and nothing was broken or altered during the move. Louie's leadership was unprecedented.

Generally they did a very good job. They were relatively careful with our things and asked a lot of questions about how we wanted things, which we appreciated. One of the three men seemed less experienced and dropped some of our stuff, but the other two guys were very careful and helpful. The company was responsive and punctual, and we were happy with our experience. Moving can be a nightmare but they made it much easier.
Description of Work: Blankenship movers used 3 men to move us from our 1 bedroom condo in the Loop to a house on the north side. It took them approximately 5 hours.

The movers came at 8:00 a.m. just as they promised. They were very careful with the furniture, taking the legs off the table and wrapping the china cabinet to keep the glass from breaking. When they delivered the set, they set everything up quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: The moving company moved a smaller dining room set for me. They were prompt, courteious, and very carefult with the furniture. They also moved an antique sewing machine and cleared a space in the garage for it until I have it picked up for refinishing. Do have cash for a tip, since the service is excellent and the price very reasonable.

They ran a little late but did call to say exactly when they would be there. The apartment was on the second floor and the halls were a bit narrow. That being said they moved everything very carefully. They covered every piece of furniture with thick quilted blankes and they were very careful not to scratch walls, ceilings, etc. Before they unloaded at my house I had them deliver a refigerator to another address. The move went very well and the three men who moved my mom were very professional, very good natured and above all very careful. I would certainly use them again.
Description of Work: This is the third time I used this company. I hired them to move my elderly mother from her apartment to my house.

From the first phone call they were ideal. They are very personnel from the start. They quoted a great price by the hour. They were flexible with me since I had to cancel last minute due to being sick and were able to reschedule without any issues. I could have not been treated more tenderly. They went above and beyond by packing some of my items without an extra charge. They were also very flexible with payment options. They even repaired a broken leg on a hutch of mine. They are wonderful people! I would trust them with any antiques and for anyone of any age.

The total experience was great. I called several different moving companies, and they all have differing policies about charging rates for "travel" and whatnot. I purposely chose a company that was close-by to cut down on these costs. The owner was great on the phone, gave me an estimate that was almost right-on, and even cut me a break on the overnight storage costs! The 4-team movers were great guys, very nice, right on time, and were very understanding of the fact that we were still packing as they were loading up the truck. We had the same team of guys move us in the next day, which was nice. The head guy was really great about asking if we wanted them to move things to certain floors, etc., stating that it would take more time then and increase our costs (since they're paid hourly), or if we would prefer to keep things more centralized and move things on our own. I appreciated this sensitivity to the end cost of the move. Overall, I was very happy with the move, the costs, and would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: We moved out of a 2-bedroom, third floor condominium to a single-family house one block over. They also moved out a small storage unit we had at a separate storage facility. Because we were closing on the buying/selling of both places on the same day, we moved out the day before, they held our belongings over night, and then moved us in the following day.

The overall experience was very good...they are workhorses! They were punctual, and completed the entire move in a timely fashion. They had absolutely no issue with the additional stops that we had to make. Would definitely contract them again for any moving needs.
Description of Work: Blankenship moved our furnishings from storage to our new house. The storage facility that we used a three story unit - an elevator was used to transfer the furnishings and boxes to the ground level. We had to make two stops in between the final point of destination - one stop to pick up additional items - the other stop to drop of an item.
