The guy who answered the phone was calm and pleasant and said yes they could do the move. The movers showed up on time, wrapped everything and moved it. Very nice example of professionalism!
Description of Work: I called them on a Wednesday to see if they could move a couch, and very heavy 60" glass table top from Lincoln Park to Westmont on Thursday.

I called Tony and made an appointment to be moved out of the condo I was selling (1 bedroom) one day and then to be moved into my new condo the following day. He said it wouldn't be a problem (a reasonable fee is charged for overnight storage). I spoke with Tony in the morning to get a window of when they would be arriving. The movers (George, Alex, and David) arrived on time and were polite and hard working. They wrapped all furniture and transported it along with about 50 boxes without any incident. Under One Roof also provided wardrobe boxes for the move. They were extremely quick and didn't take a break. The following day, the movers (Alex, David, Danny) showed up on time and were just as quick unloading the furniture and boxes as they were the previous day. Tony was there he 2nd day to oversee the work. I did not receive an estimate before my move, but I felt that the fee charged was reasonable for the work done. Under One Roof did an exceptional job.
Description of Work: Moved from a one bedroom condo to storage (Under One Roof's storage) to another condo the following day. Under One Roof did both moves.

It was snowing a lot that week, and Tony tried to postpone. It snowed a lot that day, and Tony tried to postpone. I convinced him to come, and he did a super-quick walk-through of our place, scribbled some numbers on a legal pad and handed me my estimate. He smelled strongly of cigarettes.

Response from Under One Roof Inc
I AM VERY SURPRISED TO READ THIS REVIEW OF OUR SERVICES. WE WERE TRYING TO KEEP OUR OFFICE CLOSED THIS DAY BECAUSE OF THE VERY POOR WEATHER, BUT AS THIS CUSTOMER WAS NOT ABLE TO RESCHEDULE WE DID TRAVEL QUITE A DISTANCE IN THIS WEATHER FROM OUR RESIDENCE 50 MILES OUTSIDE THE CITY TO PROVIDE HIM WITH AN ESTIMATE. THE ESTIMATE PROVIDED WAS FOR A LOCAL MOVE WHICH INVOLVES A WALK THROUGH OF THE LOCATION, REVIEWING ALL ITEMS TO BE MOVED AND ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT WE CAN OFFER. OUR EXPERIENCED ESTIMATOR THEN DETERMINES THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS AND MEN NEEDED FOR THE MOVE, ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE NEEDED AND THE ESTIMATED HOURS IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE. THESE CALCULATIONS ARE FIGURED OUT SEPARATELY AND THE CUSTOMER IS PRESENTED WITH OUR ESTIMATE ON AN OFFICIAL ESTIMATE SHEET.

I contracted for three men and a truck. I had all my stuff boxed up and ready to go except for the furniture. They arrived right on time and worked like crazy. Used blankets on everything that needed it and plastic wrapped mattresses and furniture. The truck was packed well, they really knew what they were doing. They were polite, good humored and just great to work with. Made sure to ask me where everything went when we got to the new place. A perfect move.

They went above and beyond what a mover should have done...all the stuff that went wrong, yet they remained cool and collected throughout the whole thing. No one measures the door before buying a piece of furniture and what a problem it cause.
Description of Work: We used the company to move new furniture from the store to our house, since we were out of their delivery range. They loaded and unloaded the furniture. The door really gave them such a time that I was embarrassed. They carried the furniture around the house down the alley and into the house. Then the fridge was in the way, and they had to dismantle that as well. They were so nice about the whole thing.

The team was polite, hard working, and fast. The team leader had more than 20 years of experience and his team also had experience, which made the move very fast because they knew exactly how to pack our storage space. It was a painless experience with no damage to our house or furniture.
Description of Work: We were moving our stuff from a 3BDR 3Bath condo to a storage space with about 20 miles between them. They were scheduled to show up at 9am, and arrived at 9:15. We had prepped the house pretty well, and they were able to load up in about an hour. We met them at the storage space 1/2 hour later and it took about 2 1/2 hours to pack everything into a 12 X 15 storage space. There were four workers and the overall job lasted 4 hours at $142/per hour + $71 for travel, a far better price than other companies who gave us quotes.

Under One Roof was great. The three movers unloaded the truck quickly and efficiently (two hours). They were very attentive to my needs and worked with me to coordinate timing with the moving company delivering the truck. I would use them again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Initially, the three movers were courteous and polite. There were a couple of times when I noticed that two of the guys were taking a bit of a break, after they had been there for about an hour. The unfortunate aspect of this move came when they got to the storage unit and I noticed that the mover was not making an efficient use of the space. Once all of the items were removed from the truck another mover started to assist. As they tried to get all of my boxes and furniture into the unit, they bickered back and forth, which only distracted them from getting the job done and they almost destroyed a $2000 bike in the process. The entire process was unprofessional and time consuming, which is unacceptable when I am paying them by the hour. One mover also made the comment to me that he wanted to move me quickly because he was anticipating a generous tip and another told admitted that they loaded the truck improperly making the move longer. They need to be more focused and less talkative.
Description of Work: I hired Under One Roof to move my items from my apartment to both another residence and a storage unit.

Three guys from their crew did the first day move in 2 1/2 hours. They were very professional and efficient. The second day the same three guys loaded the truck and a fourth joined them for the unpacking. We were very satisfied with their service and professionalism, and were willing to do whatever it took to complete the job and keep us satisfied. We will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: First day - moved approximately 40% of belongings/furniture to storage from 4 bedroom, 2 story house. Second day - moved rest of stuff to apartment.

Great! I spoke to Tony (the owner) when I called for an estimate. He was very helpful, and explained to me the best way to accomplish moving both couches at the least cost. He explained how I would be charged. I called him 2 days before the scheduled move also, because the weather forecast was horrible. He assured me his guys are very experienced, and unless the weather was dangerous, all would be fine. The 2 guys (Jose and Dorsey) showed up on time, and were very polite. It was a miserable cold and rainy day. They were careful about wiping their feet, and also wrapped the couches completely with padded blankets and plastic before taking them outside. These guys moved 2 large, heavy couches in and out of tight city condo hallways/doorways and up/down 2 tight outdoor deck staircases without a word of complaint. Not only did they do a terrific job, but they were FAST. They completed this job for me just under the 2 hour time minimum that was my base charge for the move.
Description of Work: Moved a couch I had purchased from a 4th floor condo to my 3rd floor condo, which was 1/3 mile away. Then, they moved a different couch from my 3rd floor condo to my moms house, which was 25 miles away.

The minor damage was the plastic part of the TV base, but it was not important. I liked them because they were efficient. The guys who helped me with the move were ok, and the price they charged was fair.

These guys were great! Tony was fast to get back with me to set up a date. Even though, on moving day he was running late from another job, he called to keep me updated. He estimated the job spot on, and was finished slightly ahead of schedule. I will definitely use these guys again.

I had all of my stuff in storage until I closed on my condo. They showed up on time, introduced themselves (and called me by name the rest of the time), then proceeded to pack everything efficiently and carefully into the truck. Once at the condo they moved everything up to my 3rd floor unit (no elevator) in 90+ degree heat...with zero complaints. They were careful with everything and were so personable. As they were finishing, the next crew to take the truck showed up and the owner of the company was among them. I love a company that has an involved owner...things get done right. Highly recommend them.

I spoke with Tony to coordinate the move. He called me back when he said he would and was pleasant on the phone. On moving day, the weather was in the nineties and humid. There was no A/C in the walk up to the fifth floor. There were four guys on the moving crew. I never heard a single complaint from any of the four about the steps. This was amazing - everybody complains about the steps, but not these guys. Anyway, the rest of the move was easy and they did a great job and were fun to be around. They treated my antiques gently and wrapped everything.

Tony was very pleasant to work with - when I called with concerns about being behind on packing after being sick he provide suggestions and ideas on how to work around the challenge - both he and his staff were very helpful and professional. Only concern was that after checking in with Tony on timing in the morning the movers were an hour later then he quoted.

Response from Under One Roof Inc
I’M SORRY TO SEE THAT YOU WERE UNHAPPY WITH THE PUNCTUALITY OF THE CREW ON YOUR JUNE 30TH MOVING DAY. YOUR MOVE WAS SCHEDULED IN THE AFTERNOON AFTER THE CREW COMPLETED ANOTHER MOVE IN THE MORNING. ALTHOUGH WE TRY OUR BEST TO ESTIMATE HOW LONG A JOB WILL TAKE THERE ARE UNFORTUNATELY SO MANY UNPREDICTABLE VARIABLES THAT CAN EFFECT THE TIMING OF A JOB (TRAFFIC, WEATHER, A CLIENT NOT BEING FULLY PACKED, A CLIENT WHO WITH GOOD INTENTIONS SAYS THEY WILL MOVE ALL THEIR “SMALL STUFF” BUT FINDS THEY DON’T HAVE TIME ETC…) THAT IT’S DIFFICULT TO BE PERFECTLY EXACT. THIS IS WHY WE ALWAYS GIVE ONLY AN ESTIMATED WINDOW FOR A START TIME, NOT AN EXACT TIME, IF A CREW IS DOING A SECOND JOB IN A DAY AND ARE IN COMMUNICATION ON THE DAY OF THE MOVE IN REGARDS TO TIMING (AS WE WERE WITH YOU). I APOLOGIZE IF THIS WASN’T CLEARLY COMMUNICATED AND WE WERE LATER THAN YOU HAD EXPECTED. MICHELLE MATHENA PRESIDENT

One of the guys started off with, "relax, we're here to make this day a lot easier for you." That pretty much set the tone for the rest of the day. Everyone was very professional, courteous, and generally NICE. The project took significantly longer than originally anticipated, but that was my fault by due to gross underestimation of how much stuff had to be moved. With eight years of school, I've moved quite a few times, particularly in Chicago. This was by far the most involved move I'm ever been a part of, but it was also the smoothest! I would hire these guys again in a second.
Description of Work: A crew of three guys plus three of us moved from one ground level two bedroom, two bath West Loop condominium to another of the same about 75 yards down the street. We did not require a truck. We moved a bedroom set, large sectional couch, 50" plasma TV and stand, AV riser, slate coffee table, console, end table, office desk, bookshelf, dining room table and chairs, a ton of boxes, several wardrobes, and a lot of miscellaneous items.

It was easy for me. It seems very well planned on their part. Moving the things in order of how they will unpack at the new house and use the correct amount of people so there was no damage or injury. Dorsey was a great lead again. He kept me at ease talking through the project and general conversation while keeping a good pace for completion. They made sure that they put mats down in the new house so they didn't damage the floor. I would use them again. Once again it was very clear on the pricing for 4 people per hour plus 1/2 hour travel. So I was not surprised at payment time. Everything else is included (wardrobe boxes, picture boxes, wrapping, tape).
Description of Work: I had much success with the first part of my move that I used them again. They were careful and efficient moving out furniture. Wrapping each piece. They also collected all the unpacked items (frames, mirror etc.) and carefully packed and moved them. I had given them a list of items to be moved including a very heavy armoire. They staffed accordingly including having a staff person to watch the downstairs door and truck. It too 4 people 5 hours. That was what I anticipated. They put all the furniture in the correct room with no damage. Dorsey, the mover lead, was excellent again as were the team. They were running late but called me to make sure I was aware. It was only about 20 minutes.

Every guy on the crew was very professional. They all seemed to work like they owned the business. They wrapped all of our items and nothing got broken. It took a little longer than we expected, so you should plan conservatively if you have tight timing. They had to bring an extra truck in to fit everything. But when they added up the invoice it was a actually less than the original estimate. I highly recommend this company.

The 3 man crew showed up on time and efficiently moved my home contents into the truck on the street and then into my new home. They had to disassemble and reassemble a few pieces of furniture and did so professionally. All items were wrapped in blankets and I have not found any broken, scratched or damaged furniture. I would hire them again.

Each time they were on time and his crew worked non stop and efficiently, but also with great care. They were most helpful at every step, blanket wrapping items with care and making sure everything went where it was supposed to go.
Description of Work: Tony moved my house in three phases, as I had requested, as my new home was not ready for one full move. This was not a standard move as I had a lot of artwork and some antiques, I interviewed 3 companies, his was the middle bid, but more importantly I felt he would do a good job and that he was honest.

I loved working with this company. Tony was extremely responsive and accommodating, the crew was late on moving day but I'm still giving them an A because Tony called and let us know. They took great care in wrapping each piece of furniture, and were very friendly and personable. If there is any more moving in my future, I will be calling Tony and Under One Roof first.
