Best moving companies in Naperville, Ill.

Two Men and a Truck Moving is the best overall Naperville moving company

Two Men and a Truck operates on the "Grandma Rule," namely, that all customers should be treated with the same care a mover would give their own grandmother. That personal approach over the past five years has won the Kane/Dupage Two Men branch of the company legions of fans and helped them earn our top spot for best movers in Naperville.

Two Men and a Truck starts with a video walkthrough of your space and emails a detailed estimate for your review, allowing customers to see how pricing breaks down before booking. The company is staffed with full-time and long-term employees, many of whom have been in the moving industry broadly and with Two Men in particular for years. All movers are background checked.

The representative we spoke with said that residential moving costs vary significantly based on the size of the crew, how much packing is required, whether oversized or specialty items such as pianos are involved and how easily crews can access both the origin and destination locations.

Two Men and a Truck charges for local moves by the hour, with required minimums that vary by day of the week. Moves scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays have a one-hour minimum; moves on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays have two-hour minimums; and Saturday moves are subject to a three-hour minimum. Those charges cover all labor and equipment with the exception of a separate travel fee for the crew and truck to and from the warehouse.

While the company does not publish flat-rate pricing, the representative said that based on its standard hourly rates and minimums, a typical four-bedroom home move within Naperville would generally fall in the $2,000 to $3,000 range and be completed in one day. Actual costs may vary depending on the total time and services required.

Packing services are available at the same hourly rate as moving for moves of fewer than 10 miles; by Illinois statute, packing for moves that exceed 10 miles is charged by the box. Two Men and a Truck also operates a 20,000-square-foot, climate-controlled storage facility for long-term storage needs.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance moves

• Corporate and residential

• Packing and unpacking services

• Labor-only service

• Large and specialty items

• Furniture rearranging

• Climate-controlled warehouse storage

To reserve your move date, the company will charge a deposit equivalent to the first hour of the move, which is refundable with cancellation at least three days prior to your move. Payment can be made in cash, by check, or by debit or credit card. The company doesn't charge a surcharge for credit card payments.

Two Men and a Truck is not accredited by the BBB , but has an A+ rating and no complaints filed against it. The company has an average 4.8-star rating from 347 Google reviewers and a 4.7-star rating from 39 reviewers on Angi, which praise the company for being efficient, professional and friendly. While the company has a 4.4 rating from 71 Yelp reviewers, all one-star reviews date to 2022 or prior.

USA Moving & Storage is our top alternative Naperville mover

USA Moving & Storage has been serving Chicagoland since 1981 with full-service local and long-distance moves as well as packing, loading and storage services, and during the almost 45 years in the business has established a stellar reputation with local customers as an efficient and professional choice.

The company representative we spoke to said for a four-bedroom house move they'd recommend a four-mover crew and one truck, with an hourly rate of $220. There's a two-hour minimum, with the hourly rate prorated in 15-minute increments after the minimum is met. With a two-hour minimum at $220 per hour, the least you can expect to spend with USA Moving & Storage is $440, before travel fees and supplies.

There is also a one-time travel fee, and any miscellaneous packing supplies needed are charged as used, with boxes running between $3 and $8, and shrink wrap is charged at $10 per item wrapped. Packing is charged at the same hourly rate, plus supplies. Partial packing for selected rooms or other areas of the job is also available.

While the company doesn't run formal background checks on its employees, all movers are full-time company employees, most of whom are experienced movers who have been with USA Moving for more than a decade.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance moves

• Residential and commercial moves

• Climate-controlled storage

• Packing and unpacking services, including partial packing services

• Loading and unloading

• Piano moves

The company schedules moves seven days a week. To hold your reserved date, USA Moving will take a credit card over the phone. You'll only be charged a $150 cancellation fee if you cancel your booking outright. You can use the same credit card to pay the final balance on the day of the move, or make a payment by cash, cashier's check, money order, or any combination of the methods. Any payment amount made on a credit card will incur a 3% processing fee.

USA Moving is accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating and no complaints. It has a 4.9-star rating from both Google (with 1,153 reviews) and Angi (with 865), with reviewers citing the hard-working, experienced, and efficient staff. USA Moving has a lower rating of 4.4 stars on 292 reviews on Yelp, with some one- and two-star reviews about frustration with rates or communication. (It's worth noting that almost all of the one- and two-star reviews are dated prior to 2019 and several appear to be complaining about the wrong company.)

It is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

Customer testimonial

From first point of contact to collect information and costs, to the last box on the truck and moving things into place, I recommend USA Moving & Storage forever! They assisted with packing materials, pulling permits, expertly packing the truck for remote storage and returning all items safely. The crew was kind, helpful, and friendly which some much needed sense of humor when things got a little challenging. The office staff answered all of my questions with patience instilling confidence every step of the way. It's pretty daunting to watch all of your worldly possessions leave you on a truck, but they were returned in the same condition 2 days later. Thank you Ulysses & Staff. - Sarah C., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

BLVD Moving is the best national moving company

At Yahoo Local, we highlight great local businesses while also noting that some customers may prefer larger national moving companies depending on their needs. If you are trying to choose between a community mover and a nationwide provider, see our local movers vs. national moving companies guide for help. In our evaluation of best national moving companies , BLVD Moving received one of the highest ratings.

BLVD Moving is led by experienced relocation professionals with deep industry knowledge. Although the company operates four physical offices in California, it offers local and long-distance moving services across the United States. This family-owned and independently operated business owns its own fleet and employs its own moving crews. According to its terms and conditions , subcontractors or third-party agents may be used for certain moves. This approach is common across the moving industry to manage higher demand, but it is worth noting if you want direct teams throughout the process.

To gauge pricing, we obtained a BLVD Moving quote for a 500-mile relocation with an estimated 1,340 cubic feet of belongings, roughly the volume of a typical three-bedroom home without major appliances. The quote was around $6,700, which aligns with prices from other long-distance movers. A 33% deposit is required at booking. Half of the remaining balance is due at pickup, and the final amount must be paid at delivery.

Services Offered

• Local and long-distance relocations

• Residential, commercial, and office moving

• Professional packing

• Storage solutions

• Financing options

Customers who cancel at least two business days before their scheduled pickup are eligible for a full deposit refund. For deliveries, BLVD Moving offers delivery windows of two to 21 business days, depending on the destination. This window starts from your preferred delivery date, so shipments may take more than a month in some cases.

BLVD Moving suggests booking at least 30 days before your move. For busy periods like summer and the start or end of the month, scheduling even earlier is recommended. The quote process is straightforward, offering options for a virtual walkthrough or an online inventory form to expedite the estimate. Finance plans are available with rates starting as low as 0% for qualified customers.

BLVD Moving is accredited by the BBB and holds a B rating. It has an average of about 4.36 stars on the BBB from hundreds of customer reviews and 98 complaints on file, which is not unusual for a nationwide mover of this size. On Google, BLVD Moving has an average rating of 4.4 stars from 1,448 reviews. On Yelp, it has a 2.4-star rating from 395 reviews. All movers are direct employees who have passed background checks.

The company's headquarters is located at 21622 Plummer St., Chatsworth, Calif., 91311. It's open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time. You can call 844-274-0500 or visit BLVD Moving's website to learn more.

Illinois moving FAQs

What info should you have when requesting an estimate?

To request an estimate, be ready to share your address, where you're moving to (or, if you don't have an address yet, the general area), and the size of your residence. While many movers won't complete an estimate without a walk-through either virtually or in-person or an inventory list, these general details should be enough to get you started. Other details that can be helpful to provide are whether or not you'll want packing assistance, if you'll need storage (either short- or long-term), and if you have any items like pianos, gun safes, or fine art that will need special handling. For more information about what to share, read our guide to getting an accurate moving estimate .

What should you know about packing and storage in Illinois?

The biggest factor in determining what kind of storage you need in Illinois is the climate where you'll be storing your items. Illinois's climate changes as you go from north to south, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters in the North near Chicago that get gradually milder and more temperate as you go south. If you'll be storing your items for longer periods, you may want to consider climate-controlled storage, since big swings in temperature and humidity can damage furniture, electronics, and antiques. (For a list of items that require climate-controlled storage, check our guide .) Learn more about the differences between temperature-controlled and climate-controlled storage in our guide.

What's different about condo and apartment moving in Illinois?

If you'll be moving into or out of an apartment or condominium, let your building manager or super know about your move-in date in advance. If your building has an elevator, the building may need to install padding before it's used for moving, or you may need to reserve certain times to use it. Additionally, many buildings require that moving companies present a Certificate of Insurance (COI) that attests to their level of insurance in case of damage to the building. Ask your moving company in advance if your building requires one: Many will provide it, but not all, and some companies will charge a fee for providing it.

Do you need moving permits or licenses to move in Illinois?

While there's no state-wide mandate that requires a permit or license to move households in Illinois, moving companies operating within the state need to hold a Household Goods License from the Illinois Commerce Commission. To learn more about what companies need to do to obtain that license, you can read our guide to Illinois moving company licensing regulations .

What you may need in Illinois is a parking permit in order to have a moving truck parked in front of your residence on public streets, especially if you'll be moving to a larger city like Chicago or Oak Park. To find out more on whether you'll need a permit and how to get one if you do, check out our guide to moving permits.

How much should you tip movers in Illinois?

Tipping your movers is never mandatory — but always appreciated. If you want to thank your moving crew for a job well done, a good rule of thumb is to take 10% to 20% of the total cost of the move and divide it among the movers. Alternatively, some people prefer to calculate the tip by the mover by the hour: $5 to $10 per mover per hour is a common formula. For a more in-depth look, see our guide to tipping movers .
