As a professional moving company with all-inclusive rates, Winnetka Movers will provide you with the service of disassembly and reassembly with our own tools – at no extra charge. This will help our movers move your heavy furniture safely and efficiently at the same time.

Moving companies have different policies about moving one piece of furniture. We usually don’t do such small moves, as we have a 3-hour minimum charge, but we will have no issue in doing so if this is the kind of service you are in the need of.

Finding a licensed and insured moving company is vital for your relocation – if something happens to your items or if there are any unpleasant situations during your move – your movers should be held accountable. Winnetka Movers is a fully licensed and insured moving company that will always compensate for any damage during your move, and always handle issues that may arise in a friendly and most importantly, professional manner.

There are a few guidelines that you can follow to decide on the appropriate number of movers needed to conduct your move, but as every move is a unique – there is no way to surely know the size of your moving team before providing your moving company with the details of your move. The size or complexity of your move, heavy items, and similar factors can determine the manpower needed to provide you with a successful moving service.

As a reliable moving company, we always suggest you to empty your heaviest furniture pieces before our movers arrive. Yes, it might be easier for you to settle into your new home with your dresser untouched, but moving a full dresser requires a lot of manpower. It is simply not safe for our movers, or for your items to be heavier than they need to be on your moving day. We keep the safety of your belongings on the top of our priorities list. Moving empty furniture as opposed to full will also result in a quicker relocation and less money spent on your behalf.

Moving companies don’t stop working when the weather gets unpleasant – and people don’t stop moving just because there is some rain in the way. Our movers have been trained to move in difficult conditions, which means that they will have no trouble moving your belongings during unpleasant weather – as long as it is safe for your move to take place. We will always bring extra padding and protective materials to make sure that your items remain safe and sound during the entire moving process.

Winnetka Movers provides every client with up to 10 wardrobe boxes that are completely free to use during your relocation. Wardrobe boxes are specifically made for moving clothing efficiently and safely, without you having to pack them – this will also help you unpack them with much less hassle than packing your clothing items into boxes.

If there is a specific item that you are concerned about and are wondering whether it will be moved by our movers, it might be best to give us a call and ask – to avoid any surprises on both ends on the day of your move. Items that Winnetka Movers will surely not move are hazardous, dangerous, toxic or flammable items, including weapons, alcohol, toxic liquids etc.

How much you will be charged per hour depends on two factors. Firstly, not every moving company charges the same, some might be cheaper while other might be more expensive. Another factor that will determine how much you will be charged are the conditions of your move – for example, the number of movers that will be needed to complete your move with ease.

Some moving companies might provide you with the option of storing your belongings overnight, or the option of storing your items for a longer period of time. Unfortunately, Winnetka Movers’ capacities are currently filled, but we can always help you store your items into a storage unit of your choice with no hassle at all.
