Fantastic. The movers were professional and personable. They also were efficient and did no damage. They were on time and the estimated time to move was accurate despite the fact that we asked them to poisiton furniture in a couple of different ways.

I scheduled a move for Wednesday morning about a week in advance. Happ sent two movers and a full-size truck. They arrived about half an hour early and got to work right away. When they reached the destination they jumped right in and put everything where I asked them to. They were polite, efficient and well-organized, and finished up in just under 3 hours (including transit time). I'd recommend them to anyone moving in/to/from the Chicagoland area.
Description of Work: Moved 6 pieces of furniture and a few boxes.

it went very well. We hired 2 men for one hour and accomplished all the above including moving a table saw up from the basement to the garage and moving one of those old 2 sided concrete laundry tubs down the wall a few feet in the basement. They were pleasant, punctual, very respectful of our things and careful not to ding any door frames, etc. There was no grunting or unpleasant attitude at all. I would have these guys to dinner. It was well worth $100 to us to have all this moved and not strain our backs.
Description of Work: Technically not a move - more rearranging. We wanted our bedroom rearranged, a very heavy headboard moved from our garage to bedroom, a stove moved to the curb and one moved inside from the garage, a dresser moved to the curb and one moved inside from the garage and some heavy things moved from the basement.

Three men arrived on time. The piano needed to be turned on it's side due to our small entry way. They were extremely careful. The piano arrived safely at the condo and just fit into the small elevator. We were charged for 1 and 1/4 hour service. It was much cheaper than we anticipated. I would definitely use them again.

My experience with Happ was very positive. They were polite both on the phone and in-person. The movers arrived on-time and were quick yet very careful with my belongings; nothing was damaged during the move. They completed the job ahead of schedule, and because they charge by the hour, my final amount due was less than originally quoted. I recommend trying to use them during the week, as the rate is significantly lower than on the weekend ($30/hour less). I will definitely use Happ in the future for my moving needs!
Description of Work: Happ movers performed a move from my apartment to a home approx. 40 miles away.

I emailed Happ Movers; they responded immediately providing me with an estimate of cost to relocate an upright piano. They followed up with me via phone, were very helpful and even under-estimated the cost. I will definitely call them again and highly recommend them to others!

They were very good. On time. They did an excellent job and were careful. They're pretty special. I wouldn't get just any mover to do this.
Description of Work: When I had my floors re-done I had them move a piano from the living room to the hall. They are also the ones who moved the piano from my house to my daughter's condo in the city.

We needed to have a sofa bed moved from a third floor condo in Skokie to our house in Wilmette. We tried to do it ourselves, but the sofa was too heavy and long to maneuver. Happ arrived right on time and quickly moved the sofa bed. They were very skilled in doing so and did not scratch any wall.

We take care of several properties, and originally asked Happ to meet one of our staff at the Evanston address so that he could be with them when they loaded the piano and handle any problems they may have. When he got there at the appointed time, Happ already had the piano loaded on their truck, no problem at all, and they took it right to Wilmette, unloaded it and also moved an existing piano put of the way for us. They were pleasant, professional and did the whole thing in 2 hours.

I was really worried about finding a responsive mover in a short period of time for such a small move. The woman who scheduled this move was wonderful and very helpful. The movers were right on time (Saturday at 7:00 a.m) and were very efficient and friendly. They gave great suggestions on how to store a few items. I was very pleased and would recommend them highly!
Description of Work: This was a small move - a few large pieces of furniture to the garage and a transport of five larger pieces of furniture to another home about 15 miles away.

I am very pleased with this company! They arrived on time, were very careful of the antique, upright, player piano to be moved and the surroundings. They moved this piano from a basement in Aurora to a "basement" in Joliet. Not an easy task. There were 4 guys, and they were courteous and very conscientious of the piano and our homes. I recommend these movers and if needed, would use them again.

Happ Movers was responsive in setting up a time to pick up the piano. They had it quickly disassembled and reassembled at our house. The piano looks and sounds excellent. The price was a little more than I expected based on a relative's use of this company to move her piano.

They told me they'd need three movers for the job, and they charged by the hour, including travel time to and from Glenview, but their rates were competitive with other movers' quotes. They called and let me know when they were on their way, and arrived when they had estimated they would. They took incredible care with the piano and moving, examining it for damage beforehand so they would know whether they had caused any, padding and preparing it carefully, and being extremely cautious about damaging the instrument or furniture or floors. They worked efficiently and installed the piano exactly where I wanted it, fitting it perfectly into a tight space without damaging anything. They took so much care, in fact, that the piano was barely out of tune at the end of the move. In addition, the movers were courteous and friendly. A very good experience.

They were pleasant , professional came in and didnt waste time. I was very happy with the crew they sent. They couldnt get the tv down or up the stairs but showed us why it wouldnt fit and suggested alternatives to look into. I recommend this company highly. will use again. thought they werent overpriced. they were on time as well. The TV took more time than anything else. they took the piano apart and put it back together and moved it several times until we were happy. It took under 4 hours. Added to the travel time.

Happ did a great job. They got the whole thing done with a 3 man crew in 1 hr. 15 minutes despite the basement steps. I was pleased at how low the total price was. I shopped the job around and Happ's $130/hr. was very competitive. The crew negotiated narrow hallways lined with antiques and didn't disturb a single thing. They were very professional and polite. They paid attention to insure they didn't damage our house, it's contents, or the piano.
Description of Work: Happ moved a small spinet piano for us on a local move of about 5 miles. They removed it from the basement of the seller, (about 15 steps with a turn-landing in the middle). They negotiated about 6 front steps at the destination and the piano went on the main floor.

THEY MOVED A BABY GRAND PIANO FROM MY FATHER-IN-LAW'S HOUSE TO MY HOUSE, ABOUT 50 MILES AWAY. VERY PROFESSIONAL COMPANY, GREAT AT KNOWING HOW TO MOVE PIANOS THE RIGHT WAY. HOWEVER, I THOUGHT THEY CHARGED TOO MUCH -- TIME-AND-A-HALF FOR A SATURDAY MOVE, WHICH I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED WITH A MOVING COMPANY. IF I USED THEM AGAIN, IT WOULD BE DURING THE WEEK!
