Service was amazing. The crew was polite, knowledgeable, professional. All was handled with extreme care. My move was the easiest I've had. Based on moving 5 times in the past 5 years, I would use Murphy Family Movers again and recommend them to all my friends. read more

Quality move done efficiently with kindness. One of the guys generously helped me up when I slipped off s stool. Guys showed on time, worked hard and made sure I was satisfied throughout. Tip was appreciated though not expected. I had offered to buy lunch but they were so efficient, move was finished by 2. 5 hours for a 3 bedroom townhome. I did most of the packing. I should have had them pack my hanging clothes. I forgot them till the end. read more

Jose and his team were AMAZING when moving our piano - they had incredible communication that we really appreciated, and were just overall wonderful throughout the whole experience. Made it as non-stressful as possible, and were very accommodating when it came to placing the huge thing in the perfect position. Infinitely patient, and the piano is in perfect condition - all assembled and ready to play! Cannot recommend them enough. They even managed to fix part of the piano that the seller thought was broken - what an amazing team and what an amazing person Jose is read more

The team of three movers did a phenomenal job, moving an upright piano from the second floor to the first floor. They were extremely careful to wrap the piano and also take care of the wood floors along the way. I would definitely call MFM again for any moving job. Excellent value for the money! read more

I am, so so happy I chose Murphy Family for my move! The team who took care of my move were extremely skilled and professional, as well as just all-around good guys. I'm usually so stressed during a move, but as I was working with the team, my stress levels went way down. Everything arrived safely. Their pricing was really cohesive, too, which was another worry off my mind. I would absolutely hire Murphy Family again for another move. Thank you Jose and crew! read more

The team of (3) movers from Murphy Family Movers was exceptional. They were professional, careful with everything from furniture to boxes, and ensured wood floors were protected. While I had most all of my furniture protected in wrap and padding before they arrived, they came with any supplies necessary to take care of the packing and protection. The most was very efficient, and they were simply wonderful men. I would highly recommend them. read more

Eric, Jose and PJ were extremely efficient, professional and engaging. The move went extremely well. PJ and Eric were able to convince the front office that their truck wouldnt impede traffic so they could park 50 ft from my entrance instead of a block. Thanks MFM read more

Talked to various movers. Some were priced off the charts. Some could not confirm availability for my move date. Some just very generic and did not listen to my needs and schedule. Jack Murphy quoted a very realistic offer and personally came to verify that what I had to move did in fact match his quote. Plus his schedule coincided with my schedule. Everything I needed. The move hasn't taken place yet but if that mirrors my initial experience then I will be one happy customer. I will update this review once the move is complete. Thanks Jack! read more

Darren and Peter and the whole staff at Murphy Family Movers were AMAZING. Darren and Peter showed up even before their ETA and got to work immediately. They were so helpful, quick and efficient. they came prepared with extra boxes, moving cloths for fragile items, tools to disassemble and reassemble they had it all. I isn't know what to do because they had everything handled haha. When they got me moved out of my place they also helped me decide on where I wanted my furniture in my new place. They were meticulous and made sure everything was just the way I needed/wanted before leaving both locations. Not only all of that but there was a small mix up with payment at the end and they were SO QUICK to adjust it and make everything right. Literally not even 5 min after the movers left Jack had everything straightened out via payment and I'm very VERY happy with my experience with MFM. Their pricing was also broken down so easy to understand and they were very straightforward from the jump - so worth it. Will definitely be using them in the future! read more

I very rarely leave five star reviews and even more rarely do I leave a comment. The Murphys have something truly special. They treat their customers and partners they bring in or employees (not sure which) with respect and kindness and are extremely dedicated and experienced with what they do. I've moved many times in life and only one other time have I encountered movers who even came close to the calibre of service I got with Jack. And they didn't come close to the price nor were they capable of moving across the country as Murphy Family Movers was. Should I have the misfortune to move again, and if they expand their operations to my area, I can't imagine hiring another company for the job. So glad I canceled my PODS and went with this full service move. read more

Moving is stressful, but we had a such a positive experience with Murphy Family Movers. The gentlemen who helped us move were very careful with our belongings and super friendly, even after a long day and a lot of stairs. They were so conscientious with making sure we had every last piece of disassembled items, ensuring nothing was lost. We appreciated their hard work and dedication to get every piece of furniture situated, even removing all the packing debris. We highly recommend! read more

This company is the best! The movers we had worked so hard and wrapped every piece of furniture. They were very careful with all the items and were thoughtful and patient when it came time to figuring out where to put everything once we arrived at our final location. They were prompt, professional and friendly. The price was not as expensive as a lot of movers I had called and worth every penny. I would recommend this company to anyone who is in need of a mover. I will be referring them to everyone! read more

Murphy Family Movers provided a great, stress-free moving experience! This was our family's first time using professional movers, which made us a little nervous, but everything went smoothly and the price was competitive with other movers we contacted. There was great communication from the start, the movers were on time, and they were very courteous and professional. They wrapped the furniture/items that needed wrapping, packed the truck like it was an artform, and did a walkthrough to make sure they had everything. Everything was conveniently stored overnight for a reasonable price because we had to wait a day before we could move into our new home. For unloading, the movers asked lots of questions about where everything needed to go and made sure the furniture was set up exactly where we wanted it. Overall, a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend Murphy Family Movers. read more

Quick quote, fast turn around from agreement to the actual move. Packed up, loaded, and even though we had some inclement weather they made sure everything stayed dry and put in it's proper place. Highly recommend! read more

DANGER do a quote somewhere else and you will get a MUCH lower quote then these LIARS and CHEATS. Use these movers at your own RISK! I used "We'll Move You for Less" for a very low quote of $500-950, and even Falcon Movers at a little over $1,000. MOST other movers quoted around 500-1,000 because it's a move FOR ONE PERSON! I really have much less than most people because I don't like buying clothes and things. 1 bed, a few bookcases, a dining table, a few TVs. Not even a couch! I was quoted around $3,000 for a move by Murphy's more than THREE TIMES other movers are quoting. And this is a move for ONE person's things!!!!! When the quote was sent it was like everything plus the kitchen sink were on there to tack on as much money as possible saying it'd take 5 men 10 hours for a move that in all reality is just ONE person's stuff. The person must've thought I was a rich idiot who can just throw money away didn't shop around for prices and liked being jacked up in price. read more

Short Version: Go here first. Murphy Family Movers are a very fair and quality company. The owner - Jack - is quick, reasonable, and respectable. Long Version: From the beginning, I was highly impressed with Jack Murphy's responsiveness throughout the entire moving process. He doesn't just give you the feel that he's there, but you actually receive the support. Starting at the "Request a Quote", Jack immediately responded with their availability, costs, and asked what we were moving. FYI - No matter the situation, Murphy Movers will not price gauge and there's no hidden fees. After talking, texting, and yelping back and forth, we set a day, time, and movers in less than 10 minutes. He checked in, confirmed, and even followed up before the time of the move. For a company I had overlooked the first two times, I didn't feel any less important. Well guess what? They arrived on-time and were extremely courteous. My fiancé was there for the whole thing while I was traveling and she couldn't personally say a negative thing about the movers. Her words were "They were nice and never disrespectful." Those words were extremely important to me while I was in another state. She was safe, the movers made her feel safe, and they were good people. They were moving heavy stuff too; it was all the things that myself (an ex-mover, landscaper, farmer) couldn't do with his father (ex-construction worker, landscaper, farmer). Needless to say they were big, clumsy, and heavy pieces of work. The Murphy team was pushing 2 1/2hrs of moving exceptionally heavy stuff that I didn't want to do at all. In the process, there was a some damage of one of goods, but Jack personally came out to remedy the situation. He shook my hand, assured it would be fixed, and brought everything back better than expected. I don't know about you all, but that goes a hell of a long way with me. Chicagoland is full of crooks, but not Jack nor his company. I'll trust Murphy Family to move my things again for sure. All-in-all, I was completely satisfied with their work and service. The only regret I had was not moving with Murphy Family Movers initially. I went to two other moving companies priced between 60-70$ an hour; the first company delayed all day then cancelled and the second brought wet pads without any shrink wrap. I've also moved states multiple times, and those companies destroyed hundreds of dollars worth of property without offering any assistance or remedy. Had I went to Jack/Murphy Family Movers first, I would have spared myself the horrors of using mountebank and cheap competitors. If you're looking for a fair price and a company you can trust to take care of you, then go to Murphy Family Movers first. read more

I moved quite a few times in my life and I learned it's best to pay for professional movers instead of recruiting family and friends for this type of work. Professional prompt perfectionists is how I'd describe this company and their workers. I had nearly everything packed and ready to go. The movers came in and wrapped everything as an additional level of protection for my items. The movers also securely packaged flat screen TVs and mirrors for me. The best part was watching the team load the moving trucks. I never knew there was an art and science to moving until now. The workers were all about the business and I felt extremely confident in their ability to treat my items with care. Highly recommended and will always contact Murphy Family Movers for a move. read more

Such a good experience with Murphy Family Movers. I needed movers in a very short timeframe, and Jack was able to quickly respond to my request for a quote, and was able to accommodate. The gentlemen who came to move our furniture were quick, efficient, and very careful. We were moving into a townhome that had a number of staircases, and they handled them with grace, ease, and ensured that our walls did not get marked or scuffed. They arrived a couple minutes early, and the pricing was fair and appropriate. I hope not to move for a long time, but when I do, I will be sure to hire Murphy Family Movers for the move. read more

We have used Murphy Family Movers twice and each time I was very impressed by the professionalism and quick follow up by Jack (the owner). With any question I would get a reply back almost immediately. His approach always pleasant, efficient and to the point. The team worked extremely well together. always very courteous and professional. Initially we used their service in September 2022, and then on January 2023. Again we experienced the same great cooperation and efficiency each and every time. Thank you Jack!! read more

These guys are the hardest working movers I've seen. It took a little longer than they anticipated (which I wasn't surprised by, we have a lot of stuff), but they were careful with our furniture and with putting our stuff in the right rooms. The house we moved into is old and has some twists and turns, but they got everything where it was supposed to go (including carrying a 300-lb dresser up the stairs). The only problem was that they only take cash or check, which was a surprise at the end of the day. But again, their workers were amazing and did everything they could to get us moved quickly and carefully. read more

We just moved from a 4,700 sq ft home in Glen Ellyn, IL to TN. Murphy Family Movers served us WAY beyond my expectations! I had read many reviews of other companies that were horrible experiences. So I was nervous. But Murphy's reviews are really good. And the people are not lying. Seriously! I'm literally choking up thinking about our experience with them. These men worked so hard and so long. They were so thorough and patient and thoughtful. They packed way more than was originally planned. They were sooooo helpful. They packed all our dishes and none of my breakables broke or chipped. Boxes and furniture were delivered to the correct rooms. Eric tightened legs on a table at the new house. And he helped my kids put together a new bed. Again, above and beyond. All of our crew was amazing. - Eric, Kevin, Adam and Sal. Packing and moving is SO stressful. They really made me feel taken care of! I would HIGHLY recommend everyone I know to use them! read more

I am a professional organizer who was hired to move a family out of their 6-bedroom home of 45 years within a period of 3 weeks. I've used other movers in the past, but they were unavailable at the time for one reason or another. I searched Yelp for those companies that were most-reviewed and looked then for those most positively rated. Within days Murphy Family Movers provided me with a 7-man crew to pack up and then move to storage three-quarters of the house (including large amounts of china, silver, art, antiques, stone statues). A few days after that, I needed them to come back and pack up most of the rest of the items, including a baby grand piano, and move those things to storage. The crews were careful, efficient, and skilled, and I plan to hire Murphy Family Movers again not only for my clients but for my upcoming move. read more

Everything promised was delivered! Jack provided a detailed quote that he honored to the penny and he worked with our timeframe. The guys loading the truck showed up right on time, were hard workers and worked well together. Jose and Darren did an outstanding job unloading in our new location. I would highly recommend Murphy Family Movers! read more

I had a crazy situation happen where one of our baby cockatiels flew onto the upper cabinets above our refrigerator and fell behind a finishing piece between the wall and refrigerator. He was trapped there for 7 hours total. Jack dispatched a crew - Miguel and Ismael - who skillfully pulled out the refrigerator so my grandson could rescue his beloved pet. It was a very happy ending to a scary day. This company really cares! read more

Previous review was a bit confusing and I should have waited till the movers left to post the review but I was extremely upset regarding the additional costs associated with one of movers losing his wallet and the crew of 4 all went back to find it while I was being charged. The mover found the wallet in the truck in his jacket. The part that was confusing is the poor packing resulted in items found on the ground and still haven't located the keys to the Grandfather Clock. Not happy. I'm not happy and this issue happened back in May. Why are you obsessed about it 6 months later. If you cared you would have responded at that time. read more

BACKGROUND-- 2 days before my "window" to move out of Chicago, I got a call from American Van Lines that I was going to be "rebooked" with one of their partners... a very low rated moving company. I thought I was booking with a carrier when I booked with American Van Lines, but turns out that they're one of the nation's largest brokers. (If you don't know the difference between carriers and brokers, I would recommend you do a little research.) With this bait-and-switch tactic from American Van Lines, I was extremely unhappy and also stressed because I was supposed to move out of the house in the next few days!! I ended up sticking with Yelp to find highly-rated carriers and actual moving companies, and I reached out to Jack Murphy and asked for his help. MOVING DAY -- And he delivered. He sent me 3 awesome movers: Shane, Eugene, and Eric to pick up all my stuff (the very next day) for my interstate move to North Caroline. Shane and Eugene then drove the truck to my destination in NC and dropped off my household goods in 2 days. Amazing. Eric did a tremendous job custom packing some of my delicate stuff (picture frames, TV, mirrors). I tried to get the street open in front of my place but my neighbor apparently forgot, so the truck was parked further than desired. Regardless, the guys were great and packed all my boxes without a complaint. They were super solid and my wife and I were really happy with the move. Now, I did move into a storage unit so I won't be seeing my stuff for the next 6 months or so. I am hoping that all my items are unscathed and in great condition due to all the protective packing! read more

I filled out THREE of their forms requesting a quote. No reply. I called the phone listed and heard a short rude message "saying don't leave a message fill out form". I already filled out 3. The truck fee was $350. Twice what two other places wanted. Only 3 movers when I requested 4. No personal phone conversation at all. They dropped the ball without even getting the job. First impressions are VERY IMPORTANT!! Next thing I get the owner of the company calling me telling me he is sick. He wants me to remove my review. My review is honest and exactly what happen. I don't make excuses and I don't like hearing them from companies. I wish them luck. First impressions ARE VERY IMPORTANT! read more

My movers were Foreman Demetric, Joe, Jose and Francisco. I explained to Jack Murphy (the owner) that I was moving out of my current residence to escape the physically abusive relationship I was in. And, if needed, i'd be okay with giving him the contact information of the police officers and detective that were helping me. The moving team packed up my belongings as I had requested. During the process they broke a few things, which can only be expected. After all that, they delivered stuff needing to go to my storage unit but delivering it to my mom's place and vice versa. I didn't understand why these guys were having such a hard time since they were all 'certified movers'. So, I emailed Mr. John Murphy. I asked him why all of this unnecessary chaos on even happening. He was nice at first, but then blamed and yelled at me via email. read more

I need a bunch of furniture moved around my house and called for a quote. I was amazed when they said they had a crew free and could come to my house within the hour, which is basically unheard of and worked out perfectly. They sent three men at a very reasonable price and the guys were fantastic. Extremely courteous, helpful and definitely concerned with getting it right - making sure I was happy with how everything was positioned and even moving things around so I could eyeball how it looked. I couldn't be more pleased and even asked the guys for their names so I could mention them. Of course, I lost the paper but I wanted to spread the word about this terrific moving company. I see why they have so many good reviews. I'll be back for my next place! read more

I recently moved from Illinois to Arizona. I used U-Pack (ABF freight) trailer and needed it packed with a houseful of furniture plus extra. I called Murphy Family movers, their customer service was quick and friendly and they showed up on time for the big move. What I thought would be a 3-4 hour job, ended up being 6. These guys were GREAT! They carefully wrapped and packed the trailer full! I was so worried that when I would get to Arizona something would of broken because the trailer was pack so full. When my new home was finally ready to move in ABF delivered the trailer and the unloading began. NOT ONE BROKEN item!!!! Thank you so very much for a fantastic job! These guys worked hard to get the job done right! Nancy and John read more

Hands down, if you are looking for great movers LOOK NO FURTHER! I have dealt with many movers and experienced over pricing, low estimates but in the end it was twice as more or they packed so poorly that most of my belongings were ruined. This company not only gave me a fair estimate. Showed up on time. And after they had completed the job the final cost was LESS, yes LESS than the estimate! The movers were great and I hope to use them again in the future. read more

Guys showed up exactly on time and did a great job of wrapping and moving furniture! All good guys and so easy to work with! Thank you to Anthony, Joe and Jimmy! The Murphy's were great to work with too! read more

I loved working with these movers. I got an immediate response with a very easy to understand quote. I worked with the same person the entire time in terms of service and he made sure to follow up right after the move to make sure the movers did what I needed. The movers were so nice and really worked with what I needed. They made sure to strap down and pad everything really well in the moving truck. Truly one of the best moving experiences I've had. read more

These guys came highly recommended not only by yelp but from a friend of the family! Jack responded promptly to all my emails and was great to deal with! We even were able to add an extra stop at the storage unit as well with no problem! The movers arrived on time and were polite, funny, and just all around great guys. I believe we had Adam, Shane and Steve. Not 100% sure on the last guy as I wrote it down somewhere...We were impressed. They were hustling, but handled everything with great care. After discussing one issue I had regarding the time the movers took with the owner, he understood where I was coming from and actually issued me a refund for one hour of labor. I thought that was fair and reasonable. Regardless of that one issue that was promptly taken care of by Jack, these guys are amazing. We would hire them again in a heart beat. read more

I recently used the "Request a Quote" feature on Yelp to plan for a recent move. I came across Murphy Family Movers when I was requesting a quote with a different moving company (there is a feature that suggests other businesses to send the same information/request a quote). I was quite impressed with their phenomenal reviews. I sent the request on a weekday evening (after 7pm) and received a super fast and friendly reply from Veronica. My initial quote was for a 2 hour move, but later, via email, I was sent a range of times and the expected cost (i.e. a move up to 4 hours was $, and every hour after that was $100). Their highest estimate was HUNDREDS ($400+) of dollars LOWER than the estimate I was given by the other company. Given their reviews and very fair cost, I booked with Murphy Family Movers. They did not require a deposit, which was another shocker. If paying by credit card, there is an additional 5% fee, which is reasonable. I made sure I had plenty of cash. The move itself went well. My movers arrived on time and worked steadily the entire time. I've accumulated a lot of stuff, and they worked it into their truck Tetris-style. It was actually quite impressive! Additionally, they were easy to talk to. I had intended to treat them to lunch, but they took their own lunch break en route to my new location and called (after they left) to inform me when they'd arrive. The day of the move there were two downpours, which they got caught in. I felt so bad that they got soaked and I had no idea where my towels were! One of my movers also apparently became ill from his lunch, but he trudged through. After the move and while unpacking, I did notice a few issues. I contacted the company and spoke with Jack Murphy. We had a conversation and he quickly tried to remedy the issues. I appreciate his responsiveness! I am only planning on staying at my current place temporarily, and would definitely use Murphy Family Movers again for another future move! read more

Got to give a huge thank you and shout out the the guys that moved us into our new home yesterday. Tony, Francisco, Jose, JJ, Tony, & Charlie thank you all for moving us in and being ever so understanding and respectful! It was a big move and they were so delicate and strong when needed to be. They worked great together and most of all worked great with us. They asked us where every box and piece of furniture needed to be. Definitely highly recommended read more

For the most part the movers were good. They took care of my stuff and worked hard. The only complaint I have with them is on two occasions they dropped things, one a kitchen aid mixer dropped from about 8 feet. They didn't inform me of it...I had to hear it from another room and investigated on the sly. Luckily neither item broke. The issue I have is with the owner. The project was underscoped leading the movers to get burnt out for the unload. Unloading took longer than loading (previous movers who put us in the storage unit took 1 hour, these guys took 5.5) and I carried most of the boxes. Due to their burnout, I even told them to assemble the bare minimum (each guy spent a half hour assembling...and I helped there too). While I take partial responsibility for underscoping, I gave the owner 3 parameters to scope. He simply responded asking for the size of the storage unit, which I was mistaken on (the storage facility gave us a bigger unit than we ordered and I didn't know it). In overhearing the movers talking, they had the same issue (project was underscoped) the day before. When I emailed the owner with my concerns (specifying I wasn't looking for compensation nor was I intending to post a review) he responded with a jerk remark putting the full blame back on me (I admittedly then responded in kind with a jerk remark). In reviewing the yelp complaints, it's obvious the owner's philosophy is he's always right. The quality of a business isn't measured by how they behave when things go right...even the worst businesses get things right 60% of the time...it's how they behave when things go wrong. After posting a review to Google, the owner left an abusive voicemail, reported me to my employer's HR department and doxxed me in his response, including my personal address and employment information. read more

The Murphy Team was efficient, timely, respectful, and full of muscle. They moved us out of state with a total of 4 Trucks. Some was unloaded and arrived in great condition. We have two storage units that I will update this review when we unload the units. Thank you Murphy Family Movers team! read more

Movers were fast and efficient. They wrapped everything and got it all to my new house in a way shorter time than expected. The price was way better compared to other moving companies. I would recommend them for anyone moving! read more

Great service and super clean and friendly. Everything made it safe and sound to my new home including 2 OLED televisions they transported. We couldn't ask for better service. read more
