    Paperwork of a fine job well done.
    Chris H.

    This was my first time using professional moving services in Chicago and it was a bit.. overwhelming at first. You kinda feel like the prettiest girl or guy at the dance and you have all these people ( companies) fighting for your attention. I looked on Google, Yelp and etc to find the right moving company for me. Crescent Movers was the first organization to contact me and gave me an exceptional quote right away. Alex, was really nice and honest with the quote and setting me up with the appointment. Now today.. Moving day, I'm so excited to move to the area of Ravenswood, Chicago area. Helping me get adjusted with the move and starting the day off right, I had Luis ( an exceptional and friendly leader contact me at 9:15 am about being en route to my old location. Luis and his incredible team of Alex and Jay were friendly and extremely professional and got right to work. Luis, Jay and Alex moved like it was a fire drill and they moved everything out of my old place in 45 mins and were gone-- driving to my new place to help me setup my new apartment. I cannot thank Luis, Alex and Jay for the quick work they made of moving my stuff into my apartment. I believe that Crescent Movers has a great team, especially with Luis, Jay and Alex in their organization. If moving this easy, especially with Crescent Movers and those guys, I'll always look forward to making moves with this team. I hope my review sheds some light on how awesome these guys are.

    "We want to make it right" is what they told me... If I can give zero stars, I would. I've used Crescent before and had no problem. That's why I went back to them, I even had some of the same guys to help with this move. This time things were different. They damaged a number of my beds, walls and floors when they moved things into my new house. Pictures below show some of the damage. They sent a representative out to my house to survey the damage. They best they offered up was $300 back. The alleged totally bill was over $2,000. To refinish a floor, $300 doesn't even cover the labor to fix a hardwood floor. It took them over a week to finally and officially offer up the $300. That's after a $200 check was offered 4 days after the move. The damage was well over $3,000 all said and done. I had a professional look at my floor and to fix the floor and have to redo the entire section. Let alone the beds that were destroyed, walls damaged for just plain carelessness. I had asked for my money back from the move. I still tipped each mover 20%. I thought that was fair. I get things get damaged, but this was excessive. I wanted to stick with a local, Chicago company. I would NEVER recommend using this company. They don't care. "Brian" (the owner or boss) is a crook who only wants money. Not one time did Brian extend a professional courtesy and call me directly, I was dealing with Joey. Nice enough guy, he's the one who came to my house and said the damage was accessible and that they "would make it right." Wake up call Crescent, this is far from "make it right." Full disclosure, I didn't take their $300. It's the principle in making things right.

    How does a pot even get this damaged?!?

    Not the company they used to be. I've used Crescent movers several times over the last ten years and I honestly can't believe how poorly my last move went....even worse is that they refuse to pay for my damaged items. My mattress was ruined, all my pots and pans are smashed - how does that even happen?!? All my glasses are shattered. All of my lamps were damaged. All my wooden furniture is scratched. The worst part is that I was offered $100 to make up for the mistakes of the movers. I had paid more than that to have them pack my stuff. After WEEKS they told me $400 was the best they could do. There's over $2000 worth of damaged items. The staff said insurance pays $.30/pound but this wasn't an issue due to the truck crashing or something like that. It was poor care. Oh also, my mover told me I didn't tip him enough. I gave the 2 of them them $400 in tips.

    Would give 10 stars if I could. These guys are amazing and so quick. We moved from one 3rd floor walk up apartment to another 3rd floor walk up apartment. They did the move in 3 hours. It was such a hot day. The price was extremely reasonable. Were very friendly and accommodating. I can't say enough about how great they were. I would recommend to everyone.

Pros: *The online quote process is thorough and easy to use. *Need a question answered or quote changed? Super easy when calling the company. *With each move, the movers called prior to heading toward our move-out location and arrived within the quoted start-time range. *New for this move: I was pleasantly surprised to receive a text link to track the movers' location before they arrived and when the trucks were traveling from the move-out location to the move-in location. And the tracker worked! *The movers worked quickly and efficiently. *With each move, there's at least one quiet worker and one super friendly/enthusiastic worker--and they're all incredibly kind despite the heavy lifting. Shoutout to this move's guys: JT, Roderick, Nate, Hank, and Nicolas! Cons: Just one: If you like the Green Bay Packers, you might be offended by one of their (hilarious) trucks.

I appreciated their customer service, and when I ended up having more bags and boxes than initially estimated, their price did not increase given it is an hourly rate.

    I cannot recommend Windy City Movers enough. Hands down the best decision I made for our move…read more I hired three movers and from the moment they arrived, they got straight to work. They wrapped up every single piece of furniture -- and I mean everything. My son's bean bag, his mattress, all of it was carefully wrapped and protected. They also disposed of our old couch and mattresses, which was such a bonus we didn't even have to think about. The whole crew was fast, efficient, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. Loading went smoothly, and unloading was even faster. I was genuinely impressed by how well they managed their time without ever cutting corners. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail and respect for our home. I don't allow shoes inside the house, and without me having to say much, they laid down floor mats, wore booties the entire time, and even covered my brand new carpet with plastic wrap to protect it. That level of care and consideration meant everything to me. Once all the furniture was unloaded, they set everything up for us -- we didn't have to do that part ourselves, which was such a relief after a long moving day. From start to finish, Windy City Movers made the entire experience go by seamlessly. If you're on the fence about hiring movers, don't think twice. Call Windy City Movers. You won't regret it.

    Can't help but write a review after my Dad wrote one and my sister wrote a complaint…read more Based on how our dissatisfaction- it doesn't seem this place cares about accountability or about the services they are providing. Just to start with the experience itself was really slow and it was explained to my sister that there would be three movers and only two showed up. The process was slow and I felt frustrated - and based on interactions with the individuals assigned to my specific job- I am not quite sure exactly what was the point of hiring movers. It took the movers from around 9:30 to 2:30 to pack a full truck. I would describe the demeor of the two men as slap happy or almost unprofessional- it felt that you were always almost being laughed at or condescended. It almost seemed the two men were deliberately taking there time to add hours on the clock and pay. If that wasn't enough- here are a few main events that were alarming- - while at my old apartment, the movers literally asked me how/to help move the couch down the outdoor stairwell. I don't want to gripe or be a snot, but kinda thought- this is exactly why professional movers were hired...... - the second thing- getting into my new place- when the men came to my lobby, when they came to my lobby- I was literally asked- can we just leave the stuff in the lobby? Just sheer lazyness for a lack of better term- I was just absolutely appalled by the sheer lack of professionalism and wondered what thought process did the movers have ? Are they aware of their assigned job description or why they are hired for? The last offense- I gave them the keys to get in my new apartment before dropping my sisters things off at her new apartment half a mile away and of course they didn't give me back my key- and my parents had to go help me get it from them, and apparently they thought it was funny. Worse - my Dad wrote a complaint and they called my sister, harassing her- to remove it? Like excuse my language but if you want good reviews- make sure your employees are taking it seriously and not doing a half ass job? Don't harass my sister because your employees can't get it together. Completely embarrassing- like how do you own a company- look at the past couple of weeks and have multiple one star reviews and not feel embarrassed or ? I am glad to know it wasn't just me and my sister. In addition despite a completely unacceptable experience- barely anything was offered back. Please, please- please do not hire this company they do not give a single crap about the experience provided- they just want you money at the end of the day and good reviews without actually delivering. I hope this review helps people choose another company the other reviews too- showing moveman that's fine if they don't care but actions have consequences. *I am pretty sure I noticed a few reviews- not sure- of the day I moved that were one star within the same week but those are gone. I am going to guess that others were intimidated to remove the poor reviews- showing the 4.9 stars grossly inaccurate- what I suspected.
