Phenomenal! Joey’s is the best moving company hands down. They didn’t fool around with giving me a high price then offering a discount like other movers, a fair price quoted right away. The guys working for them are professional, efficient, polite. Quite frankly, I’ve never seen movers work so effectively. I always go to Joey’s becayI know I’m in the best hands!!

Got the spiel from Joey Moves Solutions of 9823 S Ridgeland Ave, Chicago Ridge, IL 60415, of how great they're and how long they've been in business, got quoted an hourly rate which was agreed to and for the service to be performed on Saturday 4/29 morning, then he called to change to Sunday between 12 - 2pm, At 12:20pm on Sunday someone else called to say they can't get the labor to do the job, and that's when we found out Joe's Moves Solutions subcontracted our job to someone else, these new guys proceeded to pushed back the move to between 3 -5pm and again to 5:30pm ... then at 6:15pm received another call asking if the can do the job tomorrow Monday a working day ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME, WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THE JOB IF YOU CAN'T DO IT !!?? SO I WOULDN'T CONSIDER THEM FOR ANY FUTURE MOVING NEEDS OR RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE ELSE IN MILLION YEARS, WILL ALSO BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB WHAT A PUNCH OF YAHOOS.

It was great! I booked with a week's notice. Joey's sent a two-person team to pick up the painting. They were punctual and followed directions from staff on-site. They wrapped the painting and put reinforced cardboard corners on it. The delivery was quick! They brought it to my home, unwrapped it, and carted away the wrapping materials. Charges were exactly as estimated.

Poor planning, not enough furniture protection, did not send check for damages that they agreed to pay. On Day 1 I specifically asked them to bubble wrap all pictures on the wall. The guy in charge said he did not have supplies with him and that the Day 2 movers would handle it. On Day 2 I saw my pictures stacked on the floor of the truck next to each other with no blankets or protection. As a result many picture frames had dents and scratches. Several pieces of furniture were damaged for example: 2 inch tear in a $600 leather chair and a corner broken off of a marble top table. I gave the movers a damage report. Sadly they said they would pay me 30 cents per pound per article which resulted in $201 total. (This would be $3.60 for the leather chair rip.) That was their standard contract term that I had signed. I didn’t know any better. On hindsight I should have paid extra for higher coverage, but since they haven’t paid my claim it probably doesn’t matter. It’s been more than 5 months since I gave them my damage claim and I still have not received their check for $201. I called and emailed them many times. Poor planning by the move manager. He walked through my home and said one day was enough to move me out of my old elevator building and into the new place. That was bad planning. It took 7 hours to fill the truck. The move needed two days. People at my new residence were unhappy that the movers were bringing things in after 10 pm at night. Two of the moving guys were very good. Two were not and caused problems, for example: they put a box marked “fragile computer monitor” on the floor with heavy boxes on top of it.
Description of Work: I hired Joeys Movers and Trucking, Inc. In Skokie, Illinois for two days. Day 1 was to pack and protect items. Day 2 was the move.

Terrible!Took six hours longer than their estimate. They get fake estimates and then hit up the customers for thousands of dollars more when payment is due. He quoted $3200 but intern is trying to get us to pay just under $4700. It's ridiculous! Stay away, not worth it. There are too many other great companies out there.
Description of Work: They give fake lowball prices just to get the business and then charge thousands more when they present the bill at the end of the move. They don't honor the own contract that they draft.The owner is Completely unprofessional and rude. They break items and blame the owners for their own self inflicted delays . Unreal company stay away !

Joey was attentive and professional from first contact through moving day. Both crews were really excellent, arrived on time, and were easy to work with. It was a particularly complicated move but they packed and handled furniture carefully and were able to solve problems with the service elevator in the new building. They were also fast and completed both jobs within the proposed time frame.
Description of Work: Moved our 6-bedroom household to a three-bedroom apartment, and then returned three weeks later to unpack and put furniture in place.

They arrived on time and worked tirelessly for eleven hours. They wrapped items carefully and loaded them into the truck. paying attention to place items so they didn't move or rub. Arriving in Evanston, they used large cartons and dollies to move the items through the garage, up the elevator, and down a long hallway. They were careful and responsible, and nothing was damaged or broken. They worked the entire time and did not take breaks. I would highly recommend Joey's movers.

This appointment was scheduled for the above date. I then cancelled as my daughter had twins earlier than expected. I then called to reschedule for same date and they were so willing to make it happen, even on a busy Saturday. The crew, Jose and Eric arrived on time and got to work immediately. They were so nice and nothing was too much trouble for them. It was a bit disorganized on our end, but they plowed through and made it absolutely painless. New mom was situated in a new master bedroom, 2 year old and twins have a new playroom and bedroom and the basement is stocked for the next move with Joey's. This is a great company, from first phone call to last box out. Thank you so much!

Romero and Romero were the two men that did the work. They work in perfect sync and did not waste one minute. They never left a room or floor empty handed and took great care with each item. Nothing seemed to be too much to ask and they were so pleasant in their responses to difficult requests.They finished in less time than was quoted and left everything just as we wanted it. They even allowed me to change my mind as to furniture placement without hesitation to make it work for us. We are so pleased we contracted with Joey's Movers. We are using them again June 21 to move my daughter's family. Great job!

Hired company to move an armoire and grand piano from living room to adjacent dining room while floors are refinished. Specifically asked to make sure they knew how to break down and properly move and store a studio grand piano. Three very tiny men arrived, none of whom had the slightest idea what to do with a grand piano. They were barely strong enough to move the armoire and were completely perplexed at how to move the piano. I called the office and expressed my concern. The person who answered the phone just kept reiterating " they know how to move a grand piano" while the guys on site were asking "does the lid come off"? They finally concluded they could not properly breakdown the piano and place it on a piano board to move it, so they just manhandled it the best they could to get it out of the room and into the dining room as it was. I'm not satisfied because the piano consumes the entire temporary space whereas if the legs had been removed and the piano properly stored on a piano board on its side, I would have plenty of space to maneuver through the dining room while work is being done. Do not hire this company if you have large, heavy furniture and certainly not if you have a grand piano. I will not hire them to move it back next week!

The company sent two movers, when they told me there would be three. We hardly got everything on the truck. I had to take many items in my car. Everything was wrapped and carefully loaded. The men did what they had to do. This company was highly recommended, but I wouldn't use them again.

Joey's quote came in quickly and was the least expensive. While we had a lot more stuff than was anticipated, our three man crew made it work and got everything in one truckload. These guys worked tirelessly all day and managed to get some very bulky, heavy stuff both out of our old place and into the new place. Even though the job went over in hours, they remained completely positive and were nothing short of a pleasure to have around.

I loved dealing with all the people all along the way. from booking the move to confirming to the actual movers. they were all friendly, professional and aiming to please. they were very concerned about the welfare of my stuff and it showed. they were quick in an efficient way, not a hasty way. And the price cannot be beat. they don't nickel and dime you on tape, they use these huge rubber bands instead. when they need to wrap something they use these huge rolls of cellophane which cost $30. I had a lot a furniture to wrap and It only took one roll. if you want them to cover the floors with that plastic carpet shield, they charge $45 I thought was a lot, so I went and bought my own at the hardware store for$13. I would totally use these guys again. Ask for Sergio he was the team supervisor of the movers and was just great (as were his guys)

overall it was a positive experience. sam g, thaddeus, and justin were highly professional and skilled and I would recommend this team to anyone! they arrived on time, started working right away and finished in a relatively short time. move took longer than I thought but it could have been b/c I had a lot of boxes. was more expensive than originally quoted but probably for same reason though I will review original contract - too tired to do it now! did take higher level insurance but there was no damage that I can see at this time.
