When deciding upon a moving company or family and friends, there are a few things to consider. Although family and friends mean well, they are not experienced Chicago movers. Simply put, any nicks, scratches or items broken are your responsibility. Family is also under no obligation to arrive on time or move at the speed you desire. However, with skilled movers you are less likely to experience damage during your move. And if items are damaged you can file a claim with your Chicago moving company. You can also expect your movers to arrive on time, equipped with the necessary tools and move at a fast professional pace. Do what works best for you, but keep in mind you get what you pay for.
