I needed to get a heavy 4pc wall desk unit out of storage and into my 3rd floor bedroom. Called Under one roof and got a great estimate and near immediate availability. The guys showed up on time to storage and were very courteous. The only thing that bothered me about the whole situation was that the guys were clearly in a hurry. As this was a very small "move" they wanted it done and to get out. I agreed to, and was charged, a 2 hr minimum. Nothing got broke or damaged in the process and the guys kept the mud (rained that afternoon) off my white carpet while they were in and out and up the stairs 4 times.... All in all a positive experience. I was just concerned the whole time about them being in a rush and the furniture being heavy. They were 2 very strong guys who pulled it off, though.
Description of Work: Met me at my storage unit - pulled out 4 big heavy wall desk units and then transported them ~1 mile to my house and carried them all up 2 flights of stairs to 3rd floor.

From the time we contacted Tony to the time of the move (about 1.5 weeks), Under One Roof was extremely professional and responsive. We worked with Michelle to ensure that we had the correct parking permits for the moving truck and she was amazing! Extremely professional and responsive. We also kept in touch with Tony regarding things we might need the day of the move, like wardrobe boxes. Tony sent out a crew of 4 men - when they got to our place, they immediately called for a back up truck in the event that we might need it. That was a good call as we did utilize the back up truck to clear out our garage. The crew was the hardest working crew we have ever seen. We had a lot of art work that needed to be wrapped carefully and moved, and we had some larger, heavier furniture items. They were extremely careful with everything, and when we moved into the new house, there were maybe two scratches that the guys told us about immediately when they happened (totally expected and nothing serious). They even took apart and set back up our commercial grade treadmill, which we really appreciated. The four men who worked our move were 100% professional, punctual, kind and friendly. It was a full 8 hour day and they never stopped going. They asked us exactly where we wanted boxes and furniture placed. Overall, we had an excellent experience with Under One Roof and we would highly recommend them to friends and family on the move.
Description of Work: We hired Under One Roof to help us move from a Coach House to a Single Family Home. The move was only about 4.5 miles. Tony had a crew of four men come out and from the time they walked in to the time they completed our move, they worked non-stop. They carefully covered and packaged all of our art work. The best thing about this company is that they charge an hourly rate with all materials included (we even used 8 wardrobe boxes for clothes, pillows, cushions at no additional fee). Tony estimated that the move would take 6-8 hours - there were absolutely no surprises with the final bill.

The guys, Eric, Steve and Jack, were punctual, professional, personable, hard working and appreciative of lunch! Worked through the humidity and rain, without a complaint. They are very careful with furniture and surroundings and easy to work with. They were more than I expected and I will definitely use Under One Roof for my next move.
Description of Work: Moved an estate to a storage unit and family home. Items going to 2 different locations. Tony was able to fit us in his schedule on short notice at the end of the month on the weekend (Busy time).

Tony and his team could not have been more professional. Tony definitely errs on the side of quality, focusing on getting a team he trusts and realistic workload, rather than committing to too much and stretching his team. I saw him turn down many jobs because he had already scheduled the maximum on a certain day. His crew was thorough, trustworthy, unfailingly polite, and Tony really looked after the entire operation. We were very pleased with his team's work and thanks to them settled easily into our new home. Well done!

I've moved several times, and this was by far the best experience I've had with a moving company. Most moving companies give you an estimate, then gouge you with ridiculous extra charges for padding and tape. Tony's estimate was in line with the others I received, however it INCLUDED EVERYTHING, whereas the others estimated at least an additional $100 for supplies. The guys worked really hard and were very efficient, which led to a quick, stress-free move. As a result of their efficiency, the final charge was over $100 less than the estimate! Also, based on past moves, I expected at least one item to get broken, but not this time - everything arrived in my new home just as it left my old one. And zero wall damage as well. Use these guys - you'll be impressed.

It went really well and I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We had Tony and his team pack our apartment on the first day, and move our apartment to storage on the second day - the total of this move was $1200, including packing, for a two-bedroom condo with "a lot of stuff". We stored our items for a month, and then had Tony's team come back and move our storage unit (approximately 24X10) into our new apartment. The total of the second move was $900. They did a very good job with both parts. Tony tried to convince me to pack myself because it would be faster. Tony himself came to the storage unit both times we were there to check on things (their office is in the area).

Tony's three employees arrived a bit late due to miscommunication between employees. All were apologetic. The movers were fast, efficient, and friendly. They were very accommodating with strange shaped objects and careful with valuables. They were also flexible; at the last minute my closing date was moved forward, and they were able to reschedule to a date two days later.

We had a very good experience. Tony evaluated the move over the phone and quoted us an hourly rate. They were not the cheapest, but with the ratings from Angie's List to guide us we felt it was a very fair price. The men worked hard and fast. They wrapped every piece of furniture and when I noticed one piece that needed additional wrapping they did it without hesitation. The only problem we encountered was one dresser was slightly damaged because the wood was very soft and the tape from their wrapping left indentations on the corners. I am not sure there was any way to tell, ahead of time, that there was a potential for problems with that one piece. We had also given Tony an approximation of how much clothing we had in closets, and they came prepared with more than enough wardrobe boxes to transfer our clothes. We filled the wardrobes while they were wrapping our furniture, which was easy enough to do and helped keep the overall price down. When they arrived at the new location, the first thing they did was lay down some tarps over our newly finished wood floors to protect them during the unloading. We really appreciated that. Overall, we were very pleased with Under One Roof and would use them again.

These men were such hard workers . They arrived early, brought the boxes for my clothes. I have my "college" furniture that is not the nicest and they handled it it with the utmost care. Wrapped up all the furniture and were so quick and very nice and had "pep" in their step! Finished in less than estimated time. Met me at the new place and were very good at putting stuff in the right room, and just wonderful! I will use this company for sure if I move again and recommend them to my family and friends, felt it was a deal for my money and that they were very professional

Tony and his crew could not have been more accommodating. After a number of false starts because of an ever changing closing date, the crew made it at the agreed start time. They were quick to explain the charges and get right to work. 15 years of accumulated stuff made it in the estimated time without a hiccup. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Household goods were moved in a professional manner in all aspects. Personnel and procedures were exact and to be highly praised. The refrigerator was an entirely different matter. We were repeatly told about dents (minor) which we accepted even though it was a new enough applicance to have price tag intact. During the move, drywall in a prominent location was damaged in two places. As I went to retrieve a screwdriver to remove a board so refrigerator could be safely moved into new place, the refrigerator was shoved into place. When a refrigerator is pushed against a grantite countertop, the refrigerator loses. The damage to the side of the appliance and lack of care is hard to describe. Time and some anger management both were required to fix drywall and repaint newly painted walls. This happened a year ago this month. A "cool down" period was necessary before I could make this note, but is important for me to relate this experience so you can be prepared for a move with this Company. Make certain you know the individuals who are going to do your job. I need to state once again that the first move had best people you could want to accomplish your move. In the movement of the appliance, no one cared. (Please note the difference in experiences made it difficult for me to complete the A-F ratings.)

Response from Under One Roof Inc
I’m glad to hear this customer was satisfied with their first move and disappointed to hear that they were not with the move of the refrigerators. I do not believe a different crew would have made this move any different. After the customer’s initial move he decided to move his larger fridge from his old condo into a space in his new condo designed to fit a smaller fridge (which we moved as well to the old condo). Neither fridge was brand new. Scratches already existed on the larger fridge prior to us moving it and we pointed these out before we moved it. When moving a larger item such as this we take many precautions (and did for this item as well) to make sure the piece is moved safely. Since this was moved to a tighter space the doors at the location where it is being moved were removed. The extra care required does take additional time and this customer was very cost conscious having just paid for a full move. There was also a Venetian blind attached to the wall in the smaller space the fridge was being moved to which should have been removed but we opted not to as this would have taken even more time. In no way was the fridge just carelessly shoved into place. Unfortunately when moving a big item such as this sometimes drywall can get dinged when there is little room to maneuver. We always repair any drywall damage and it is actually a very quick repair. We did contact this customer to set an appointment to make the drywall repair which was two dents in about a six inch area. He decided it was more trouble for him to fit this into his schedule and told us it would be easier to take of it himself.

I'll have to say that this was the best moving experience I've ever had. The last couple of times I used movers there were always issues. I've been scammed and hustled enough that there is no way I would hire movers ever again without solid recommendations. I am thankful for Angies List to help me avoid all of the bad operators out there, the moving profession being loaded with them That being said it was an easy move. They showed up right on time. Worked none stop until they where done, and knew what they were doing. Which is an important point, the last few times I used movers it was obvious they didn't know what they were doing. These guys seemed like real movers to me. The prices were great and beat the others I checked. Everything was moved start to finish in a few hours. Moving has always been very stressful for me and I was amazed that it was all over so fast with almost no stress. I should also add that everyone I spoke with was friendly and professional.

They put everything I had in the truck and they moved everything on to the right floors. They were quick and clean and I didn't have any trouble with them at all. I checked their ratings on Angie's List and they gave me a really good estimate when I called. A lot of people I called wanted to charge set up fees and so forth, but their price was really reasonable and comparable. They did come a little late, but they called to let me know they were running behind.

Having ordered a custom made sofa, the furniture dealer was not able to move it into our condo because of its size and suggested that we find someone who could hoist it through our living room window, which is a half-story above street level. We therefore had to store it at a public stroage facility until a furniture mover could be located. Tony, at Under One Roof, was accommodating and prompt. His crew were able to manipulate the sofa through the front door, up the stairs and through the hallway into the condo smoothly and quickly. What a relief! Also, Tony's crew of young men were courteous and respectful. They each said good-by and shook my husband's and my hand as they left. How refreshing!

Tony was very informative and asked me to provide a list of my furniture in order to accurately assess my needs. Quote was about $300 more than the actual price. Since I needed the movers to store all of my belongings on truck overnight, I went with Under One Roof because truck was stored inside garage and under security cameras. Other companies only offered to park truck in a fenced lot. Crew was prompt both days and had to work late on Day 2 due to my closing running into mid-afternoon. Jose and team were very friendly and courteous. I would definitely recommend this company - nothing broken and handled furniture and artwork with care.

I called Under One Roof, Inc., and talked to Tony after having discussed my moving project with other movers. I decided that his company would do the job after he gave me an extemely good price for two men for two hours based on what I said what was in the garage. The date was set for 10/3. I had mentioned to him that it had taken over 2-1/2 months for my husband and myself and our 3 adult children all at different times due to our various schedules and health to move the contents of the family room and office to the bedrooms, living/dining room and two-car garage. Because of health problems and work schedules our children couldn't help as much as they had before and seeing that my husband and myself are in our 70's we can't do too much all the time. We agreed upon a date but unfortunately due to an emergency I had to change it the day before the movers were to come. Tony was wonderful and understanding and was very helpful in setting up a new date based on what other projects were happening in the house. A new date of 10/12 was agreed up and Tony assigned two great men who did an excellent job of moving the contents of the garage. There were many, many labeled boxes all full of books, magazines, etc. plus small pieces of furniture and a file cabinet. I was in the family room and where ever I pointed they placed the contents either in the family room or office. If I ever needed a mover again, I would use Under One Roof again.
Description of Work: Needed to have the contents of my downstairs family room/office which was stored in a two-car garage moved back into the house. I called Tony on 9/17 and we discussed what was stored and how was it packed, etc. He gave me a price and other details and we worked out a date that fit in with what else that was happening to the house. The agreed upon date was for 10 am on 10/3. Early on 10/2 I called Tony and told him that I had to change the date because my son's father-in-law had died and I was going to be taking care of my grandchildren. A new date was scheduled for Monday, 10/12. The two workers arrived on time and were extremely efficient and neat and finished in exactly 2 hrs. I am completely satisfied with their work.

These guys were the BEST. I hired 3 guys to help me unload a 17ft truck at my new apartment in the west loop. They arrived on time, they were super friendly and they unloaded everything in 2 hours without a scratch on the wall. I was very impressed and I will definitely be calling them again when I move out. It was the easiest part of my super stressful move from out of state.

I used Under One Roof for my initial move into my condo a few months ago, and they did such a terrific job that I knew who to call when I needed a few individual pieces of furniture moved. They are extremely careful with the furniture they move, were right on time, and did a great job of breaking down, then re-assembling the sleigh bed in the final location. They also accommodated what was a last-minute request, making time for me within a few days of when I called.
Description of Work: They picked up a sleigh bed and mattress from Ukrainian Village, then drove downtown to pick up a couch and two large chairs, and moved them all into my place in Lakeview.

They movers showed up about 15 minutes early and started right away. They kept moving the entire time. The move itself took 3.5 hours. It would have taken less time, but we had trouble parking the tuck on a narrow street and ended up having to go through the ally. Overall a great experience.
Description of Work: Move furniture and all other items from a large 1 bedroom apartment to a house. Under One Roof provided three movers and a truck along with moving blankets, wardrobe boxes and shrink wrap all included in the price.
