SIX GREAT TIPS FROM YOUR CHICAGO MOVING COMPANY

Sit back and let our experience as a leading national moving company work for you. Here are some handy tips from the Chicago team to keep in mind:

Subscribe to a newspaper for the area of your new residence. If you're moving to Chicago, subscribe to the Chicago Sun-Times or another local newspaper ahead of time. You'll be able to cruise the classifieds for jobs, check out the real estate landscape, and get a flavor for the local culture before your move.

  • Take advantage of our City Pointe® program. Barrett's City Pointe® program offers you destination information on over 750 cities in the United States - including Chicago -- and more throughout the globe. Plus, if you choose a realtor from our network you can get CASH BACK on your move. Ask your Customer Service Representative for more information.
  • Flexible dates for your move to Chicago? If you can plan your move off-season (September through April) you'll be at an advantage, especially if there's a bump on the road along the way. If you must move during summer, try to move mid-month.
  • Prepare for the moving company's visual survey. In order give you the most accurate estimate for the cost of your move, Barrett will send an estimator to survey your home room by room to determine your moving needs. Don't forget those items in storage, in an attic, or in an outbuilding shed! This will help us make the most accurate estimate we can.
  • Plan ahead for parking on packing and move days. Chicago can be a crowded place, and parking isn't always easy (especially for a moving truck!) If you are living on a street with limited available parking, or with parking restrictions, try to inform anyone who might need to know, such as a property manager or neighbors, about the date of your upcoming move. We can help determine the parking situation when our agent completes the visual survey of your home, but any extra information is always appreciated.
  • Inform everyone of your new residential address and moving date. Let everyone you know in advance about your move. This includes electric, gas, water, fuel, and cable companies, the post office, and of course employers and friends. Also try to get your utilities in your new home connected before your household goods arrive. Taking care of the billing changes ahead of time will reduce the stress of moving considerably.

“Chicago Van Operator K. Brian Cinnamon was so neat, clean, polite! He drove & unloaded in rain & mud without one spot of mess or any impatience. Took special care with backing in in the mud. Unloaded from far out on the driveway to avoid getting stuck. Put everything where it belonged! He was special.”
