Jay Movers is a Chicago moving company providing local and long distance service to both residential and commercial customers. Let our experienced, hard working movers get rid of the hassle: our fast, friendly service will make your next move a breeze, whether you're making a local Chicago move, an interstate move, or moving your office or business.
A local move, in most cases, is a move done from city to city within a state or in a 50-mile radius from your current location. All local moves are regulated by your state's Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Public Utilities Conference (PUC). The industry standard is to charge by the hour. The rate depends on the number of movers and the number of trucks that are required for the job.
If you're among the thousands of people who will move from one home to another in Illinois this year, this is for you.
Take a few minutes to read it and learn how to evaluate a moving company, how to choose a reputable one, how moving charges are determined, how reliable an "estimate" really is, how to protect your self against - and minimize the risk of - loss or damage to your property, and other information that can help you be an informed consumer BEFORE, DURING and AFTER your household move.

We've used Jay Movers twice now. Once when moving from one 2 bed condo to another and recently when moving into a single family home. We had so so much stuff (and some VERY heavy furniture!) and I was worried about not fitting everything in the truck or having enough people to do the move. BK was super flexible and upped our crew and our time slot the day prior to fit two trips and a crew of four instead of three.
On top of that, we couldn't find one of our moving boxes almost a week after moving in. I called and BK rounded up the move foreman to speak with me and go over where things

Well I’m back. Took me a few months to find an apartment but when I did Jay Movers was one of my first calls and once again they didn’t disappoint. BK was there with his kind and professional self, he quoted me a price, found the earliest available time ( which was perfect for me).
Jose and his crew called as promised and was there waiting for me at the storage facility. They loaded, drove to my new place and unloaded all the while making sure things were taken care of.
I swear I think they are motorized. The price that was quoted was what I paid not one cent more. I hope I don’t have to

We had heard from friends that jay Movers was affordable and high quality so we decided to go with them and we're not disappointed. The moving team showed up on time and I couldn't believe how quick they were. We got everything moved very fast without any issues. Our experience with the office was great too, BK was very helpful even when I had messed up some of the information when I first filled it out online.

We recently used Jay Movers to help us move in the city and I could not recommend them enough! They showed up right on time and were not only professional and personable, but worked extremely hard to get all of our stuff moved in a very short amount of time. Our team was Jose, Oscar, and Ricardo and they were amazing. They made moving stress free and easy! Thank you Jay Movers!!

These guys are the absolute best. Let me start by saying that last year when I moved I had an absolutely horrible experience. This time around, I was looking for a team of movers that would be reliable and efficient. Jay Movers did not disappoint!
I moved from Avondale to the Loop a few weeks ago and they were amazing. I worked with BK over the phone to sort out the logistics a few weeks before my move. He was very courteous and seemed to be very reliable. He is a straight shooter. On move day, I was greeted on time by 4 movers (I only paid for 3) and they were led by José. Additionally, BK showed

This is the 5th time my extended family has used Jay Movers over the last 10 years. I'm happy to say their quality and pricing has still matched what we remember! BK (the office manager) was so helpful in scheduling and offering advice about the move. The three guys who came to move my MIL were also so friendly and fast! Everything went smoothly, and we came in under the original estimate. Moving is always stressful, but Jay Movers makes it much better!

Let's keep this short.
-During a move within the same building, the crew left before everything was moved.
-Approximately 25% of the items they did move weren't put in the requested location.
-They left garbage in the hallway.
-When speaking to the owner to discuss reimbursement, he was belligerent and insulting.
-After a 20-minute conversation, he agreed to a partial refund.
-The refund never came.
Avoid.

Thanks to BK and the crew for moving an entire 2br apartment in 3 hours! BK was very helpful, responsive and courteous over the phone and the crew were communicative and fast. Really reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we don’t have to move any time soon but if we do we’ll be using them again!

I recently coordinated a move on behalf of a friend, from 700 miles away. They were moving a lifetime of items from a condo to a storage unit. I spoke with B.K. Lewis in coordinating, and he was so incredibly helpful, both before and after the move. As someone who like to be in control, this was an anxious situation for me, but I could not have been more pleased. My friend's reaction was "It was an enormous task and they did a fantastic job!" I don't have too many friends in the Chicago area to refer to them, but would definitely recommend Jay Movers to anyone that asked.

First time ever needing movers to assist with our 2bd apartment move from Wrigley to Roscoe and time practically flew by. Their team is incredibly diligent and were able to load up and move a truck’s worth of furniture in 3 hours.
Would 100% recommend you prep your own packing and disassembling ahead of time as it makes for a more effective and timely Move Day!
**EDIT**
We are finding that a couple pieces of wrapped furniture have been noticeably damaged from the move (see photo- one leg of our record stand has been completely stripped and screws were missing/loose) so BE MINDFUL to remove

The more time that goes by, the more things I find that were damaged in my move.
They scratched the wood floor of my new apartment on move-in day, which I saw at the time; it wasn't until they'd left that I've slowly realized that they several of my glass dishes were chipped or broken (yeah, I guess I could have packed better, but also - it wasn't packed that poorly. They must have been TOSSING stuff around in the truck. They also scratched my wooden tabletop, the side of a wooden china cabinet, and damaged a leg of my coffee table. Who knows what I'll find next.
The office manager was polite

I've moved quite a bit and have had varying moving experiences with several moving companies and I'm happy to say, if I have to ever move again, I won't hesitate to call Jay movers again. They were on time, courteous, professional and did not slack at all, they are well priced and do an awesome job. Also when you call, you feel lucky to chat with BK who makes the entire experience easy from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Simple, efficient, a relief! After comparison with another mover, we chose Jay for price and simplicity of estimate.
The destination for the move was smaller and freshly painted so I was nervous about how well it would go. After explaining the three locations I wanted items to be put in (2nd floor, first floor and basement, the crew (Jose M, Oscar, Miguel, Sam) speedily got to work.
They estimated 5+ hours but with our preparation ahead of time (disassembling furniture, wrapping in cellophane we already had, and rearranging boxes and furniture by destination location - I mentioned being nervous

I HIGHLY recommend Jay Movers for MANY reasons!
1. BK The Office Manager - when I called to request an estimate I was shoping around for different movers. BK was extremely polite and professional. He answered all of my questions and gave me a list of questions I should be asking any other moving companies I was interested in. Instead, I decided to book with this company immediately due to BK's customer service.
2. Safety - Moving us into our home mid-pandemic, the team was very professional, they were on time and made sure to wear their protective face masks and maintain a safe distance. They

Can’t thank Jay Movers enough. Professional office staff, gave us a good estimate and booked us on short notice. And Jose and his two man crew were absolutely awesome. Courteous, friendly, professional and man did they bust their humps! Nonstop from start to finish, nothing damaged, and they were going so fast I even gave them extra items I had planned on doing myself and still came in under the estimate. Thanks again!

First time around in 2016 these guys were great. I cannot say the same for 2017. I had 4 guys in 2016 and they were great! I was told by one of the employees on the team that back then they had young new guys. This time around they were slow but only had three guys. The team leader took his time and went to 7-11 to snack. When you have only three… guys time is of the essence. To top that, they busted a TV stand and I was told by management to take pictures to claim it. The team leader took the TV stand before I could take the pictures. I believe to hide the fact that they busted the TV stand
