Chicago winter is no reason to wait. We salt the walk, keep the load wrapped, and run early starts so a February move goes as smoothly as any other.

01 Good to know
Are you a moving company?
Yes — Roy The Mover is a fully licensed and insured Schiller Park, IL moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with Illinois Commerce Commission licensing and US DOT and MC authority.
What will a local move cost?
A two-mover crew with a truck runs $139 an hour, and a third mover brings it to $179, each with a one-hour minimum. You get that flat figure in writing well before move day.
How does your flat quote work?
Your home's size, the access at both ends, and a full inventory set one figure, and we hand it to you in writing. That approved number stands for the whole job, so no running meter ever appears once the crew starts.
How much do you take to hold a date?
A $95 deposit reserves your slot and applies to your total. The estimate itself is free.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Roy The Mover holds an Illinois Commerce Commission household-goods license plus our own US DOT and MC authority, and every truck and mover on your job is on our payroll.
Do you move through Chicago winters?
We do, year-round. We shovel and salt the path, lay runners, and shrink-wrap each piece so a January move stays as safe as one in summer.
Which areas do you cover?
Schiller Park, the O’Hare corridor, and the northwest Cook County suburbs — from Des Plaines and Park Ridge to downtown Chicago high-rises.
Can you handle a downtown high-rise?
Yes. We issue the certificate of insurance your building needs and reserve the freight elevator and dock window before the truck arrives.
Do you move pianos and heavy items?
We do. Our specialty crew moves uprights, grands, gun safes, and fine art on rated dollies with padding and bracing.
Are you a broker or lead service?
No. Roy The Mover is a real local mover — our own trucks, our own uniformed crew, never a middleman handing your job to someone else.
02 Why us

A real moving company — not a broker

Book us and you get our trucks, our crew, and our name on the job. A broker just resells your move to whoever bids lowest, then steps out of the picture.

Roy The Mover
  • Our own trucks and full-time, background-checked crew
  • One flat rate in writing — quoted is what you pay
  • The same crew loads your home and unloads it
  • Licensed & insured with USDOT/MC authority
  • One local office, one point of contact, start to finish
A typical broker
  • Resells your job to whatever carrier bids lowest
  • Surprise fees and re-quotes on moving day
  • Strangers you never spoke to show up to load
  • Hard to pin down who is actually liable
  • A call center, not a local crew
